I’m not going to repeat what they say, both because it’s extremely triggering content and to protect the privacy of those affected, but what was contained in those posts were completely opposite of what this company stands for. While I didn’t personally have any experiences that really stood out as particularly bad, there had been many times where they’d just really put me on edge for some reasonīeing the social media goblin I am, I’ve seen a good portion of the offsite harassment that’s been going on and that just really hit the nail in the coffin. We still hope to make the forum a place where everyone can feel safe and secure, and hope that by making sure that games which contain potentially triggering content require an opt-in to view.Īs for the ongoing issue of harassment due to the fallout of this situation, we take this very seriously, and encourage users to flag, or otherwise bring to our attention anything that may require moderation.Ĭan I just say that this situation just really doesn’t put the community in a good light? If I’m gonna be honest, I haven’t been entirely happy with my experience with the forum community and cog server especially recently. We’ve also gone over and moved any WiPs that were brought up in the course of this discussion to appropriate category. At no point was his thread removed or closed, nor was Samuel ever asked to, made to, or encouraged to leave the forum.īecause of this incident, we’ve made the qualifications of what we consider “mature content” (and therefore a game’s move to the # adult-content:user-games category) more explicit. Following this, Samuel had a heated discussion with some users regarding rape and sexual coercion in his games, after which Samuel announced he was leaving the forums.
The only actions that were taken with regards to Samuel’s game were to move it to the Adult Readers group, since it contained references to children being abused and killed. To be explicitly clear, this is not true. There recently been rumors both on and off the forums that some users forced to close his thread or remove his game.
