Regarding the belief that the admin team intentionally attempted to hide this information, we want to clarify that the initial demotion of the staff member in question was made under the belief that the harassment was directed toward a singular individual of legal age. However, new evidence has come to light indicating that the harassment was more widespread and included users under the age of consent. Had we been aware of the full extent of the situation at the time, more severe action would have been taken immediately.
We apologise for any shortcomings in our handling of this matter and are committed to taking steps to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future. The safety and well-being of our community, especially our younger members, is of utmost importance to us.” (Posted by AlphaAlex)
