    Were there threats against RA staff?
    No direct threats have been confirmed at this time, and any that might arise would not alter the decisions above. Our moderation team has addressed all reported threats within the community. We take member safety seriously and will continue to act decisively against such conduct.

    I would like to state that Scott did in fact tell me that staff members were being threatened. This is part of why I dropped the claim – I thought it was an emergency situation. He also told tele that he was being threatened and he was at risk of being doxxed – tele has publicly explained this already.

    Sorry, I feel this has to be stated because this point is simply misleading. It makes it sound like this never happened because nothing was “confirmed”, and it makes it sound like tele’s explanation wasn’t true, which is harmful to his reputation. But the truth is we were both told that staff members were being threatened.
