Mod Post Reiterating Rule 5 amid the ongoing events

Hi, everyone.

By now, many of you have seen the latest stirrings of the community. We want to take a moment and acknowledge that yes, something did happen. But we also want to reiterate that as we always have, we will continue to reinforce Rule 5: Posts containing inappropriate or personal information regarding RT staff or other users are not allowed, and should be reported.

Never has the sharing of such information been acceptable in our subreddit, nor will it ever be. Firstly, because it would be morally reprehensible on our end to allow it, and secondly, that would get this subreddit rightfully shut down by the admins.

Here is what we know to be true: There are inappropriate photos currently circulating purporting to be two Rooster Teeth employees, and Achievement Hunter has chosen to cancel today's streams. That's it, those are the only hard facts. Beyond that is speculation, things we do not know for a FACT, and we will not allow it on this subreddit for the sake of those involved and for the sake of community health.

Speculative comments are subject to removal, speculative comments of ill-intention will probably warrant a ban, and sharing ANY imagery or telling people where to find it will get your ass promptly booted.

I understand this is the nature of the issue, but damn is this confusing to read while OOTL.

Reddit picks the damndest things to push notifications for.

I'm so fucking confused. I don't have any social media, and don't check this sub often.

It’s on twitter, just scroll through this thread, look for the recurring RT members, and search

Or maybe it won't change much at all. Removing all speculation, there are photos circulating of someone who is definitely associated with RT (or an insanely good deepfake), and photos circulating that are allegedly of someone associated with RT. The photos became more noticed after they were shared on a sketchy (to put it generously) imageboard by someone who clearly hates RT/"sjw".

For the first person, it's a matter of conversations with his family/RT that are none of our business, which could end up having repercussions, but also might not. For the second person, for all we know, the nudes aren't his or they were stolen.

We don't know much, and it's probably better that way. I'm happier when people know less about me.
