    When it comes to a community you have put countless hours into not valuing you at all, how do you react?

    When the “leader” of said community is also willing to instantly discard the thoughts and opinions of the people who have kept the place going in an instant if it benefits him, and also willing to outright lie to it’s users, how do you act?

    [S]eeing a community i care about being treated this way upsets me. And if all i can do is not give that community more of my time, then i guess that’s what i do. But just let it be known that none of what is here is possible without the users and developers here who make it so. Just want to thank this community for everything, but i am not going to stay around and be actively disrespected in this way. Thanks for the good times everyone. @Scott do better for the people who give you so much of their time, this place is nothing without them.

    None of this has anything to do with the current drama surrounding Clover. Without dipping my toes too hard I’ll just say the whole situation is a symptom of the leadership issues RA’s got right now. I’ve decided to eventually return as a dev but I can’t say for sure when.

    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.

    [Editor’s Note: ladynadia appears to also have resigned from the Event Manager role around the time of the incident but remains a Developer.]
