For a brief period of time in March 2024, Lemuria repeatedly posted violent statements in which the "Nora Elise Proctor" persona was described as using an M4 fully automatic rifle to kill other users. When questioned by [[D9eoead|d9]] about the purpose of the "Nora Elise Proctor" character, Lemuria stated that she was created out of boredom. | For a brief period of time in March 2024, Lemuria repeatedly posted violent statements in which the "Nora Elise Proctor" persona was described as using an M4 fully automatic rifle to kill other users.

On June 3, 2024, he expanded his display name to "Nora Gallia Elise Proctor," citing the addition of "Gallia" in reference to American violinist [https://galliakastnerviolin.com Gallia Kastner], though later removed it following continued backlash against him and his continued mentions of Kastner within the Discord. | |||

Lemuria reverted this, and this looped over and over until d9eoead spammed the article with 100k bytes of porn. Shortly afterwards, FP got involved, warned d9eoead and moved Lemuria's article to the Trash category. Lemuria reverted this a few times before stopping. Later, Lemuria created a copy of the article outside of the Trash category, which d9eoead soon discovered and moved back into the Trash category. Lemuria later deleted the copy article. | ||
On September 9, 2024, Lemuria and d9eoead briefly fought an edit war over a section regarding Lemuria's behavior on Twitch.

There | There was a third edit war between Lemuria and d9eoead on June 6th 2025 regarding whether or not the "This section is written by an adversary of the subject" notes should be removed. d9eoead was in favor of their removal, stating that not only was he simply writing facts on the article (agreed upon by users and the mods, as well as having an extensive timeline of such on the OWOT server), he also didn't outright hate Lemuria at all, simply saying that Lemuria's actions are immoral and thus d9eoead will go against him for such. | ||
Lemuria countered d9eoead's points, saying that he still views d9eoead as an adversary and that he believes that his biased viewpoint towards d9eoead is more than enough to make all of the verified pieces of information automatically false, which is an incredibly fallacious viewpoint. d9eoead | Lemuria countered d9eoead's points, saying that he still views d9eoead as an adversary and that he believes that his biased viewpoint towards d9eoead is more than enough to make all of the verified pieces of information automatically false, which is an incredibly fallacious viewpoint. d9eoead stated several times that he didn't want an edit war and that he was open to discussing this properly. | ||
After an argument with Fern and his subsequent account limitation, Lemuria would edit his article on November 19th 2025, making it state that Fern’s behavior was “agitated” and “emotionally distressed”. This could be Lemuria’s attempt at making Fern look irresponsible. D9eoead noticed this in early December and removed it, alongside adding more information to give context to what actually happened. Lemuria would bring back his edit, starting a short edit war. On December 7th of 2025, FP would hold a poll to decide what should be done with Lemuria’s edit perms. There were 18 votes, all of which unanimously agreeing that Lemuria’s edit perms should be revoked, which FP later did. | |||

Lemuria frequently | {{Biased section}} | ||
Lemuria frequently talked about “attention extraction” and often used baiting tactics on the OWOT discord server to give him more attention. Examples include repeatedly using the number “423” in his messages, and often blabbering about the previously mentioned female indie musicians. He often talks about the twitch streamers he “extracts attention” from, and has shown a hate towards the moderators of the streams, whom he refers to as the “Cooked Fish Group”. His “attention extraction” can be seen as detrimental to his mental health, as he goes into fits of rage or sadness whenever twitch streams are postponed or interrupted, and has even wished death on the twitch moderators. Users have told Lemuria multiple times to stop talking about the “Cooked Fish Group” and his “attention extraction”, but he continues to do so. | |||
Lemuria also views his desire for attention as being above other people’s lives. When the maternal grandmother of a twitch streamer he watches dies, he is only worried about how it will interfere with his “attention extraction”. | Lemuria also views his desire for attention as being above other people’s lives.

His usage on the OWOT discord server slowly rose, and so did his attention extraction, an example of which is his saying "Sodium, Lanthanum, Nickel"; which stands for “Na La Ni”, "Nalani". | ||

In July 2024, Lemuria created Katherine Hessen, an OC.

Lemuria's response to this confrontation was quite unusual. When PC_KOSA first presented his evidence, Lemuria responded with clear signs of anger, repeatedly telling him to "fuck off," pressuring him to delete the messages, insisting that discussion of the spammer occur only with Lemuria's permission, and reacting to many of his messages with the wastebasket emoji. Lemuria also began to spam cat pictures, likely to change the topic and divert attention away from the evidence. | |||
On June | On June 5, 2025, when d9eoead raised the same allegations, Lemuria again responded with deflection and hostility. d9eoead presented PC_KOSA's evidence to the OWOT Discord moderators, recommending that Lemuria be banned from the OWOT server. | ||

After seven days of deliberation, Fern issued Lemuria a 75-day ban from the server, lasting until September 30, 2025. Treating it as a "vacation", Lemuria utilized the ban as an opportunity to take a break for his own mental health, resulting in his first period of major inactivity. He remained sporadically active on the OWOT website and wiki through the remainder of his ban. | ||

Originally meant to last 30 days, it was designed as a way for moderators to reflect on Lemuria's behavior and personality, measuring if he had sufficiently changed over the past 75 days, and if the issues that led to his original ban in July remained. This period lasted until November 22, extended from its original date due to the time commitment involved in reviewing all of his messages throughout the month. | ||
== Final ruling == | |||
After failing the reconsideration period, Lemuria's account was restricted once again, ceasing further access to the OWOT Discord server. Learning through [[Tatejo]]'s Discord server that his ban was to be permanent, on November 29, 2025, Lemuria voluntarily chose to leave the Discord server. Fern had not yet written her final ruling, which meant that before this, Lemuria's account was in a state of "limbo". | |||

"Port Elizabeth" started as a simple interest, but by mid-October, Lemuria had began to use the city to intentionally aggravate users, sending the name "Port Elizabeth" in chat and canvas unprompted without context or correlation to ongoing conversations. This is consistent with his prior baiting behaviors. | ||
Lemuria feels extreme disdain towards Port Elizabeth's name change to Gqeberha, believing that "Elizabeth" is a "beautiful name" that must be preserved on the map. D9eoead and other users argued that the name "Port Elizabeth" was a remnant of imperialism and {{wpd|apartheid}} that should be erased, but Lemuria disagreed with this, believing the name change to be a completely pointless and ineffective measure. Lemuria further argued that the name could be separated from its imperialist roots, but Fern and d9eoead believed otherwise, the latter stating that it is necessary to abandon the name in the effort to completely erase imperialism and colonialism. | Lemuria feels extreme disdain towards Port Elizabeth's name change to Gqeberha, believing that "Elizabeth" is a "beautiful name" that must be preserved on the map.

Currently, Lemuria is arguably at his lowest point yet, regularly posting diagrams about his relationship with Fern and “attention extraction”, such as a {{wpd|Sankey diagram}} of Fern's attention and a map of oil rigs in the {{wpd|North Sea}} recontextualized as a metaphor for "attention extraction rigs". During an argument with d9eoead on Tat’s server, Lemuria compared people to machines that could be used, saying that Fern was “defective, and in need of replacement.” He felt sad that his relationship with Fern did not give him the “desired outcome”, implying that he was never genuine in any of his conversations or discussions with her, and only wanted to use her as a source of attention. Strangely, he also kept referring to himself as “we”, and calling Fern and other users “colonies”. D9eoead confronted him about dehumanizing and objectifying people, but Lemuria retracted, saying that he wasn’t genuinely treating people like machines. He stated that he wasn’t only pretending to do so, trying to elicit outrage and distress from d9eoead as one last bait tactic before he left the community. This action shows that he has lost all care in attempting to change, and is fully embracing his selfish desire for attention. Either that, or he was pretending it was bait so he couldn’t be shamed for dehumanizing people. Either way, Lemuria has shown that he is a lost cause, unable to change or face accountability.
