JoeJoeTheAnimator War

## About

The **JoeJoeTheAnimator War**, also called the **JJTA War** or the **JJTA Cold War** was a long "cold war" period involving hostilities between JoeJoeTheAnimator and the other admins of the Surreal Memes Wiki following JoeJoe's repeated abuse of admin powers. There were three distinct parts of the war, with only the last of the three coming close to being active conflicts. The entire war lasted around 7 months, spanning from October 2018 to May 2019.

In October 2018, following the end of the Omni vs Meme war and The Final War, Fandom user JoeJoeTheAnimator adopted the Surreal Memes Wiki and became its first admin since Nullatrum. In the first few days, JoeJoe gave permissions to other trustworthy Wikians and helped clean up the wiki, and was seen as trustworthy. However, around the end of October, he started to post a large amount of pages that weren't at all related to Surreal Memes.

At this point, the other admins such as PoseidonHeir and SANTACLAWS didn't really care what JoeJoe was doing and only tried to let him know what they thought peacefully. However, when JoeJoe began to threaten anyone who criticized his obviously low-effort pages, other admins (referred from now on as the anti-JoeJoe users) took action. They tried to get JoeJoe to stop, but didn't stop and even refused to talk to the other admins.

When it was clear that JoeJoe would keep abusing his power and there would be no easy way to stop him, I.R.O.N.I.C and the other anti-JoeJoe users (who largely overlapped) seriously considered going to war. War was narrowly avoided when PoseidonHeir tried to reach out to the FANDOM staff and asked them to remove JoeJoe's powers. Before they could do that, though, JoeJoe agreed to stop causing trouble. For a while he actually fulfilled this promise, but by January 2019 he went back to his old self, doing a few things like giving untrustworthy users bureaucrat powers.

On January 30th 2019, the official poll for the second Surreal Memes Wiki elections was created. The results seemed normal until it showed JoeJoe winning with voted. This made a few other admins suspicious since no other wiki user actively supported JoeJoe. Still, they couldn't blame JoeJoe for anything yet, so they moved the poll to a discussions post where you would be able to see who voted. All the votes for JoeJoe were from accounts that were troublesome or vandals, or accounts that were obviously his alts (all the troublesome ones were later found to JoeJoe alts as well).

Due to this, JoeJoe was expelled from the Council of Bureaucrats and no longer had a say in the wiki's government. Anti-JoeJoe admins also considered calling the staff on him one more time but decided it wasn't necessary. BUT JUST A FEW DAYS LATER, HE ACTED UP AGAIN by deleting the user scale of trustworthiness for no reason. This was kind of the last straw, and JoeJoe became hated across the wiki. The USOT was undeleted and there were some minor conflicts of JoeJoe vs. anti-JoeJoe admins.

But a few days later, JOEJOE ACTED UP YET AGAIN. On the Atrocious Fandom Users And Wikis Miraheze (AFUW), a Miraheze community to create pages about atrocious Wikians, JoeJoe created pages about each of the anti-JoeJoe admins filled with outlandish propaganda. This was the last straw, and when a user called Bendrownedfan111 informed GammaRaul of the bullsh\*t JoeJoe was making on Miraheze, the Surreal Memes Wiki admins joined to stop it.

JoeJoe retired on the SMW, saying he was leaving the Surreal Memes Wiki for good, and his account was later blocked. He would never return to the SMW again and would spend the rest of his time on the internet basically exiled to Miraheze (later he was globally blocked on FANDOM).

* Atrocious Fandom Users Miraheze (initially)

However, it wasn't over. On Miraheze, JoeJoe had gained a bit of support from other users there, notably one called Mar9122, who joined JoeJoe to try and stop the anti-JoeJoe admins who they believed they were crazy SJWs or something. The Surreal Memes Wiki admins started to form a plan to get on the Miraheze, and even starting a war was at one point was considered a serious and viable alternative.

Again, a war was ruled out when the Miraheze was privated, and a better plan was created: a plan to infiltrate Miraheze. Some anti-JoeJoe admins, posing as JoeJoe's allies and asking for member rights, went into the AFUW on Miraheze in an attempt to find out how to deal with the situation. Mar and JoeJoe were unaware of this but they still kept trying to fight the Surreal Memes Wiki. Eventually, Mar realized that JoeJoe was really the aggressor and too immature to give up. Mar quickly turned on his former ally and blocked JoeJoe from AFUW.

At this point around April, the rest of the AFUW was starting to realize how childish JoeJoe was acting by continuing to spout lies about his "enemies" even when it was clear his problems were self-inflicted. JoeJoe's block expired at some point, but he had already been kicked out and it was clear he wouldn't be welcomed back. He was quiet for a while.

However, JoeJoe wouldn't reach his lowest point until May, when he came back to vandalize. He was blocked and never seen again on Miraheze. He still uploads videos to his YouTube channel every once in a while but aside from that, he was never seen again.
