How did they let you know what the offensive content was - show you the single post on this board they thought was okay?

Did they really not tell you which post(s) exactly they thought were problematic? What were you supposed to do? Delete the entire page?

@rusty_shackleford Curious if you have any contingency plans for a coordinated deplatforming event like the Kiwi Farms situation.

If you're talking about hosting:
Last I checked, one of the hosting platforms kiwifarms uses is the same as us.

If you're talking about payment processors:
We're not in violation of any of Stripe's policies, we were already reviewed. HQ Platinum is a membership service for the HQ Platform that provides paid features such as extra reactions, custom name color, uncapped game modification download speed, and certain other unlisted features.

We were already targeted for deplatforming a few times fwiw. We got kicked off of payment platforms and stuff.

The HQers were exceedingly gleeful and each began every one in turn asking "Was it I?"

Sounds like a scrapping bot with rudimentary AI automatically flagged RPGHQ as a problematic site.
