P.S. I'm willing to set up or take part in discussions if you do want real change. A forum thread derails far too fast for effective discussions.

On the topic of transparency.. apparently forum posts derail "too fast for effective discussions", yet every time someone wants to discuss something remotely controversial in the community Discord server they are told to "drop it" 90% of the time? Who are people supposed to talk to, the wall?

They do, people who want to just shitpost get in the way of effective discussions for the most part and then the thread ends up locked with nothing resolved. I literally just said I'm willing to talk about it and discuss it. The discord chat channels are even worse for it tbh so something else is clearly needed. I said I'm willing to help with that.

Sure, that's why I included this caveat "If you want to limit the amount of "PH stands for Pedo Hub!!" or "Shut down dinks and we'll never have a pedo again" jokes, then do it. Not at the expense of letting the community know that there are bad people running around."


Both members of staff were removed from the entire community as soon as we knew what was really going on and a forum post/announcement made so everyone knew what had happened, don't understand how we could have let people know faster. We had no idea anything like this was going on before that so they were treated like anyone else, how exactly were we to know. Do you know all of your internet friends 100% or even your real life friends. People are good at hiding shit from others and it unfortunately took a lot of time find out what was really going on. 

I never said anything about how the previous two members were handled. My response is in regards to Travis's idea that "if you keep making jokes, we shouldn't have to be transparent." For future cases.
