Stop giving Viprin special treatment.
It's so obvious that Viprin gets so much special treatment by RobTop that it's just plain unfair to other creators. Every single level that he has made has gotten an epic rating, regardless of the quality of the level. Some of the levels on his account are levels in which he never built ANYTHING.

By the way, this post is also going to go over how scummy Viprin is, and how he literally cares about nothing but the CP.

1: Odyssey and Empyrean

Odyssey and Empyrean are two levels created for Gauntlet Contest 3. Odyssey was created by Chromatik, Joshenjol, Osiris GD, Deadlama, and CX Random, while Empyrean was created by ChaSe, Darwin, Nicki1202, MrKoolTrix, and Enlex. Notice how on BOTH of these levels, Viprin was NEVER named? That's because he never created a single part for either of the levels. He never put in ANY effort into the level. You could argue that since he hosted it, he has the right to upload it to his account, but you also have to remember that he never built a single part of the level, he just "hosted it." He put no effort into it, and it really should have gone on one of the creators' accounts.

2: Epic ratings

Speaking of those two levels, they both got rated epic. This is an issue because there are so many better levels that only get featured, yet ALL of Viprin's 2.1 levels get an epic rating, regardless of quality. An example of this would be Nine CircleX, a level that is actually pretty bad. Yet, it got rated epic. However, levels that are around the same quality (such as Triple Six) just get featured. Altair got rated epic, even though there are many levels that only got featured that are better than Altair.

After looking at all of his levels, every level he uploaded past 2.0 has gotten rated epic, with only one exception, that being Master of the World. It really just shows how much unfair treatment he gets when it comes to CP.

3: Collabs

Viprin hosts a bunch of collabs. In fact, it's probably safe to say that a vast majority of his levels are collabs. The problem with this is that he hosts them constantly. This might not sound like a problem, but when you consider the fact that every level he uploads gets rated epic. You also have to consider the workload when he creates a collab, as it is much lighter than if he were to create a solo level. It takes less effort to create a collab than it does to create a solo level. That's why he creates collabs. They take less effort, and he knows he'll still get quick and easy CP from it. If you look at the parts he has created in megacollabs, you'll see just how lazily created they are. Just look at his part in Hypsersonic, it's just a garbage maze that you can build in only a few hours!

As to how most of his levels are collabs, I went from his first 2.0 level to his latest level (Nexus to Kyrie Eleison). Out of 30 levels, 19 of them were collabs. In terms of his 2.1 levels (Master of the World to Kyrie Eleison), 10 out of 14 of them were collabs.

Conclusion

It's time to stop giving Viprin special treatment over other creators. It's unfair to every creator that he can just get away with pushing out levels he put no effort into and be rewarded for it.

But this still isn’t fair, specially for newer and unknown creators. Rob gives attention mostsly to his beloved mods, elder mods and yeah, well…

I don’t know if he really cares about the game for real, since I’ve seen really ugly and bugged levels getting epic and amazing levels getting only feature ._.

In conclusion, we can say that Rob is busy smoking on his money, I guess (stole from my friend)

So yeah, he’s getting pulled in a toxic community by players… he doesn’t even know what moderators to choose

Anyways, I hope I “helped” (I don’t know how did I help buf hey!)

Yeah, it's extremely unfair to other creators, unknown or not.
I would agree that it's mods in general getting this treatment, but not even the rest of the mod team gets the same treatment as Viprin.

He does do quite a lot to help out with the community and Rob communicate things from Twitter to Discord (or so it seems to the public eye). It may seem unfair because it doesn't seem like anyone will ever get the opportunity to try to pass him, but he does seem to be living up the title fine enough.

What he does for the community doesn't mean that he should get unfair treatment over other creators.

Well I can agree with you on the thing with Odyseey and Empyrean, as getting them on his account was pretty unfair. However I think Viprin gets a lot of "special treatment" because besides hosting collabs and stuff he does a lot for the community.

All viprin does now is help other creators. So yeah I guess he is pretty selfish

I disagree on the part about Odyssey and Empyrean, whether Viprin verifies the level isn't up to robtop, nor does he have to do anything with it, he sees a feature worthy level, he features it, it has nothing to do with who uploads it as long as everyone participating in the collab agrees with who should upload it. Kinda stupid to ask robtop to not rate or feature levels that creators put work into, just because it was uploaded by Viprin. I would get pretty pissed if that happened to a collab I'm part of, even if I don't get any CP from it, it still is a seal of quality and an acknowledgement of something I've made. Now don't get me wrong, I don't like Viprin either, he doesn't put any effort in his collab parts, and that's enough for me to dislike him.

For the second part... I kind of agree, however, at the end of the day, it's all caused by the sweetdude effect, if you're part of the creating community then you've probably heard of this term. Basically in GD, it dictates that if a player has made a level that got featured, all of their other levels, be it good or absolute garbage, will get rated. This is what's happening here, and it's not just Viprin, so this one isn't on Viprin, but most famous creators actually, solely branding Viprin with that is biased, saying that his levels getting rated is mostly caused by the sweetdude effect would've been much better, because right now you make it sound like Viprin is the only one like this, when he is not.

About collabs, for the most part I agree. However, managing a collab or megacollab is much more tedious than you might think, there are tons of factors to keep track of so the level doesn't get ruined or broken. Now, Viprin creating collabs isn't a problem imo, people keep falling into his trap and honestly that's their problem, not ours, however I think there should be a way of rewarding people who make collab parts.

It's not just Viprin, a ton of other creators get the same treatment, caused by the sweetdude effect. I don't think it's "unfair" to any creators, if anything his collabs not getting rated would be unfair to the creators who take part in it, think about them too. I agree that an epic rating on every of his levels is a bit excessive though, maybe robtop should tone that down a little bit.

edit: also, selecting someone who agrees as an answer isn't a very good move

Viprin is actually one of the better people in the community. If you dislike him you're probably just jealous of him for some reason and trying to hide it by saying he steals levels (which he doesn't).

You completely missed what OP was trying to say, he isn't saying that he's stealing levels, but that he uploads collabs he does not have a part in. People agreed to take part in the collabs he made, it's not about stealing.

Sooo... Odyssey and Empyrean were somehow "his" levels even though he did nothing but upload it to his account? What drugs are you on?

He hosted the collabs and people agreed to take part in them, even if he hasn't built anything in them, he unfortunately owns those levels because the creators agreed that he does by taking part in HIS collabs. If Viprin doesn't, then who owns the levels? Also, Viprin is listed as a creator of Empyrean on the GD fandom, which is correct.

it doesnt ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ matter my guy, he literally did nothing in either of those levels. he doesnt deserve any of the credit. the cp should have gone to the creators, not viprin. if youre not going to participate in the collab you host, it shouldn't be on your profile.
