I know normally I try and keep drama and such away from my social media these days, but this is serious as it has affected many people on Crystal already, and is continuing to do so.

A GM is suspected to be abusing their power by banning players who have party finder’s open for 18+ Only Venues, when it is NOT against SE’s policy to not only advertise for RP venues, but 18+ Venues, who are EXPECTED to list the fact that they are 18+ as to prevent any interactions with any minors.

I don’t know how many of you use twitter or read it, but I encourage you to PLEASE read this, and please please PLEASE be careful if you are managing n RP venue that utilizes PF, especially if you are an 18+ Venue. Do not let people abuse the report system for jokes or out of spite, and please make sure the people who are supposed to enforce the actual policies and rules uphold their own rules and do their job, versus pandering to harassment and trolling.

I have a family friend who worked at our local Salvation Army headquarters as a a secretary. This particular office took all the Christmas donations for children in need, put them in a warehouse, and on a designated day the staff and their friends picked through them all, taking whatever they wanted. She saw people hauling away bikes donated for specific families. Some local children had hundreds of dollars of gifts donated in their name, and on Christmas they received three cheap things, items likely not even from the person who sponsored them.

My friend quit, and I’ve not given them a dime of my money since then.

I also remember hearing (though can’t confirm) that because of their “values”, they will throw away any donations seen as occultic or not Christian. Like throwing away and Harry Potter donations (books, movies, toys) for years as a matter of routine.

M, and my whole family also agree.
