Hello everyone.
Iβm addressing this once so that misinformation, speculation, and constant posts about it can stop.
Blake is no longer a moderator. He has been banned permanently until further notice. This decision was not made impulsively, and it was not based on rumors or hearsay. It followed a review of behavior and internal matters that violated the stand expected of staff members. This is all that needs to be publicly said.
I understand people are curious. I understand that when something happens involving staff, it creates conversation. But what does not help this community is ongoing public discussion, side posts, or people attempting to stir the situation further. The decision has already been made.
This was handled internally, reviewed carefully, and acted on accordingly. Moderation roles requires trust, accountability, and respect for leadership and the community. When that trust is broken, action is taken. Thatβs what happened here.
There will be no public airing of screenshots. There will be no dragging this out for entertainment. There will be no continued debate in posts or comment sections. If you have genuine concerns, bring them privately to staff. Public speculation only creates unnecessary division. I also need to make something very clear. Do not contact Zof about this situation anymore.
Reaching out, questioning, or dragging them into conversations about this is causing unnecessary stress and only fuels more drama. This has already been handled internally. Continuing to involve them does not productive and will not change the outcome. Respect their space. Respect their mental wellbeing. And respect the decision that has already been made.
I also want to make something very clear. Staff decisions are not popularity contests. They are not based on who is louder. They are based on responsibility and the long term health of this space. Right now, the healthiest thing for this community is to move forward.
And the rules for all of this point forward:
- Do not make additional posts about the situation.
- Do not message staff demanding details.
- Do not contact Zof about it.
- Do not attempt to stir it back up.
Any further public escalation or attempts to keep this going will be removed and I will be talking to you privately about a possible ban if it comes to that point.
We are moving forward. Thatβs it. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
