I come here with the result of a terrible situation. A matter of illegal activities has been discovered, investigated, discussed, data collected, contemplated, and discussed again. The level of the evidence makes it so that none of it can be publicly presented unless the victims choose to release the information themselves. There has been sexual harassment of minors, attempted if not successful grooming of minors, sexual harassment of mature adults, playing victim to avoid confrontation, gaslighting and harassment in general by a staff member in this community.


There are at least 3 victims that we know about with the likelihood of several more over the past couple years in the community. Issues like this have happened in the community before, and have not been acted on. This repeating of history cannot be allowed to continue. I realize this comes across as rather vague, but I will not risk attempted attacks, harassment, or any form of punishments or issues that the victims have already gone through to happen again. Just banning the individual would just raise questions and concerns..For the sake of attempted transparency, this thread exists. 


From this day forward, Abdel will be community banned. This subject has been thoroughly investigated with multiple sources of evidence coming forward showing a similar story with each one. Anyone who is caught going after him or anyone who possibly discovers a victim and tries to pry for information, will also be punished accordingly up to a ban depending on severity. I apologize for this being allowed to get to this point as I missed signs publicly and was not made aware until recently of this issue. Then came the matter of collecting hard evidence against the individual and seeing enough of it to release just how big the problem had become. The community ban will begin either just before or after the publication of this thread. I can try to answer any questions or concerns the community may have, but understand depending on the question I may not be able to give a satisfactory answer. This is not easy for me to do as I have known the person for years and have watched them rise up the ranks in the community.



I apologize again for any failures on not noticing and acting on this issue, for anger or disappointment brought from the community, and for people who put their trust in me to not allow instances like this to happen in the first place.
