One of the people in the DOD was skeptical about a concept for a fic being taken and within right reason, this was brought up and discussed in private away from the main server. After one of the server moderators found out they put in action the zero tolerance policy. 

After this happened a few members of the server went over to the fic in question and left comments about it being stolen. At this point in time none of us knew that it hadn’t been but we were right to believe it had as the concepts and content were really similar so we had suspicions. Everyone directly involved in the situation were encouraging these people to not to that because we didn’t want there to be any more drama and wanted it to die there and we thought it had. 

But then a few days later the fic was replaced with the author telling half of the story, not knowing what had gone on behind the scenes and the discussions about how we knew that au’s are not to be claimed, but how it was more about etiquette. How we had tried our best to stop the drama going forward and into the public. This author claims to have messaged us only to no response, but during this time many of us were sleeping and away from out tumblrs so we couldn’t have replied and then they deleted their blog so the messages were deleted too. I made the choice to go and comment on their ao3 rant asking if there was a way to message them and talk about everything that had happened but I got no response. 

A few days later, after the drama had died down again and we were ready to move on. Then one of the previous members of the server came on and made it known that they had inserted themselves into the situation with only one half of the story and not talking to any of us otherwise. They then went on to harass one of our moderators at a ridiculous hour of the morning and when asked to talk to the people involved they ignored it. 

Today they have been posting screenshots of our conversations on tumblr, again only showing one side of the story. Us telling them to drop it as it had been dealt with and we were moving on from it. They ignored us and started to try to pick a fight, saying we had to make an announcement on the server which was something no one involved had the ability to do. Both of our admins were away and realistically making an announcement would only bring the drama back up when it had already been put to rest. 

This same person has been making claims that we have been bullying a minor. To our knowledge they were an adult, when they joined they told us so. This person posting about us posted a screenshot from another server we aren’t a part of where the “minor” posts their age as a different one to what we were told. Admittedly this was at a different time and people do get older and have birthdays so it’s quite probable that this person turned 18 and stopped being a minor in the gap, it is also possible that when they joined that they had lied about their age. We all assumed them to be an adult, they had simply stated “I am not a minor” when asked. We also weren’t out there bullying them, the only incident where it could be read as bullying was when some other members of the server went to comment on their fic, but we had encouraged them not to and told them that it was not the right thing to be doing in that moment.
