I honestly am appalled by the announcement and how it completely denied any threats happened. That is such an obvious lie when I definitely saw one publicly posted in one of the now nuked threads and I’m sure plenty more happened that I didn’t see. To be honest, I don’t feel comfortable contributing in a community where gaslighting is going to happen, people can harass and threaten and get their way, and harassers walk away with a slap on the wrist. If we can’t even agree that it was wrong for people to respond to allowing content that contains hate speech with hate and threats then there is a far more serious problem and I do not feel this was truly addressed and instead swept under the rug and hidden away.

I don’t care about certain games getting banned even though I am very against censorship and feel it only draws more attention to the problematic content which was proven a few days ago. I care about the fact that people were harassed and threatened and that our highest level staff bowed and complied with what those people wanted and showed that hate will give them what they want.

I would be interested in that discord server, but to be honest, I am not sure if I wish to continue to contribute to RA. I will finish my current claims of course because I’m not going to screw over users who were excited about those games getting sets just because the mods don’t care and would rather pretend nothing happened than be honest to users and especially those who have volunteered their time to create content for users.
