hey all, i'm angie, aka “exodus” or “carrot.” i was put on an indefinite two year ban on rgl due to having leaked the google docs with evidence pertaining to both satan and alfa’s permanent ban. since i was a member of the rgl staff, i had a responsibility to make sure that the documents pertaining to the case remained private, however I did not maintain the standard set for myself and other staff. some people were talking about the satan and alfa perma bans in a private server that I’m in, so I went ahead and posted the google doc knowing the person who reported satan had sent around chat logs and evidence to their friends beforehand, so at the time, I thought what I had done was fine, since the evidence was known to the public to some extent. unfortunately, someone had spread the satan doc in another server, and it remained mostly within top invite highlander circles, with someone having made a pdf of the original documents a bit before it became privated. there had been another rgl staff member who had leaked the alfa situation to a significant part of the 6s community, making the alfa situation more well known far before the perma ban was even issued, however, the staff member had faced no repercussions. so while i admit that what i did was wrong, i do not think that it is fair nor healthy for rgl to hold this type of double standard.
i want it to be known that i condemn what both satan and alfa had done, and this was my motive in sharing the documents. in sharing the document I did not intend to hurt nor mock the victims, but rather i was displaying my discontent with how rgl handled the perma bans without giving any explanation to the community.
i’d also like to add that my own groomer, who i reported on three separate occasions, received no consequence, aside from one formal warning. he continued to stalk me, especially during my time on staff. he is still talking to and potentially harming underage children to this day, while receiving no ban. i consistently expressed my distress and paranoia to staff, making reports, making a document with an extensive amount of screenshots, but nothing was done, i was not protected during my time in the community, and especially on staff, as a whole. to note, rgl preaches the comfort and safety of its community, yet the same rights are seemingly not given to everyone. my point in mentioning this is not to draw superficial sympathy, but rather to bring to light my belief that everyone who has gone through a similar situation deserves to be heard and be compensated appropriately.
while i do wholeheartedly agree with me being removed from staff for violating such a breach of privacy, and maybe even a ban and probation, however, a two year indefinite ban is so much for wanting to essentially expose these animals; the ban I had received is longer than what cheaters receive, and longer than what repeat offenders have if they make racist or homophobic remarks. i'm not sorry for exposing both satan and alfa, however, i am sorry for how i handled the situation.
i hope that at the end of the day, the community can at least somewhat understand where i’m coming from, and i sincerely apologize to the victims i have hurt, and i know that what was done to you was absolutely disgusting, and i hope all gets better. thank you all, and have a lovely rest of your day.
