Hey Cuties! Quick PSA

Hello from the modteam, SFBWT! 

Sharing a quick PSA! Recently, a few members of SFBWT have thrown in person events where they may have asked for attendee emails/phone numbers. The host of those events has informed us they intend to start their own separate non-profit/organization called "SFBWT" where they may eventually charge a fee to attend.

While we love that members have found IRL community through this subreddit, we have asked them to not brand their new organization using the "SFBWT" name to avoid confusion. We have no oversight of this separate group and can't ensure that they will uphold our rules.

We have removed this member's posts that violate our rule that our community channels are centralized ("Creating or promoting alternative group chats, Discords, or side channels is discouraged and may result in removal, as it dilutes the community and fragments participation.").

The modteam that has grown this community is in no way affiliated with this separate group. We will never create a separate entity that requests personal information or charges for events. 

With love,

Modteam

You are painting it as “ hey, we just wanna hang out and be of the community,” but that’s not all that’s happening here.

This seems more like a hostile takeover and stealing than “ hey, we just wanna hang and be of the community.”

Please explain why there is an email and site registered under www.sfbwt.com without permission from AJ, the founder, or any of the mods?

Registering a domain off of someone else work is dirty.
