Original message: GenZedong users and moderators warned the Lemmygrad administration of chauvinists and people who harassed other users creating a community called Dongistan. Admins from both Discord and Telegram warned us of these reactionary elements and they were preemptively removed from the community
EDIT: We were working on the assumption that they were PatSocs, because that was the information given to us, and we decided to act upon that without further evidence. It was a mistake on our part. The community was therefore restored, but we are investigating the case further.
We are banning trolls which were harassing admins and other members inside Lemmygrad, and we’ve found out that they are a part of a group called “Horde’s People’s Republic of Dongistan” on Telegram.
why does a comment someone makes on a different website unaffiliated with lemmygrad warrant a complete ban from lemmygrad? i don’t think that would necessarily indicate what her behaviour would be like on here. i think many people make off-hand critical comments about the websites they use while still being able to use them in normal and respectful ways.
They called this site a larp, what’s preventing them from using another site?
i appreciate that you found the comment hurtful, but why does that warrant a ban without warning? i would understand if she was advocating for a brigade or something, but i don’t think that’s what’s going on here.
If they’re insulting our community, then it doesn’t matter if it’s inside or outside Lemmygrad, they are still responsible for what they say. If behind our backs this is what they have to say about us, why should we let them here? Their messages just show they are not interested in healthy engagement with others, they are just interested trolling and in general being disrespectful.
