Hello users of Hexbear, there have been many changes and some drama the past few months.
The recent changes we've been making have been an attempt to create a more safe and welcoming environment for many demographics that have been overlooked in the past.
For any of our comrades that have been unintentionally hurt in this process, we apologise and hope to find a solution that accommodates as many people as possible while still meeting the needs of the marginalised groups who need a space like this the most.
The intent of this post is to provide a space for all users to air grievances with regard to the site. As well as provide suggestions for specific things that could be changed to address your grievance. Comments insulting the mod team or those without a specific means to address your problem may be removed. No commenter will be sitebanned, unless it clearly breaks the code of conduct.
I do wonder why bureaucrat is so controversial here. Like nothing that bad happened with it unless the modlog was wiped. I think people were bracing for the gamer words that you would have seen come out of that account in any other community, but not here. Wasn't it more banned because the bit was over and getting annoying?
I don't think 3-5 hexbears in a trench coat are likely to go off the rails and make us look bad, and if they do it would be easily fixed.
I know that's out of context but you're the most recent reply so you get it
I heard the account was used to say some stuff that shouldn't have been said. I was directly asked whether it was me at the time since I was on my temp ban the accusations were flying. I enjoyed that account a lot though, I would never destroy the fun for everyone like that.
One of the members shut it down without mod intervention. Someone was using it to have a struggle session and everybody kinda took a step back and started debating whether it was still a good idea. One of the many people with the ability to delete it did. That's all there is to tell.
