Hello.
When r/GachaLifeCringe was first created, its intention was this and ONLY this:
Spread awareness to others about the malicious activities occuring within the "Gacha Community". "Malicious Activities" included things like sexual predators, glorification of self harm and suicide, violations of copyright laws, and other things in that vein.
The more the subreddit grows, the more it strays from its original purpose. As it stands, the subreddit is total chaos. People are posting things that aren't even REMOTELY close to being "cringe". People are hating ANYONE who uses a Gacha game. People are making extremely violent comments toward innocent people. People are attempting to raid and harass anyone who uses a Gacha game, regardless of if they're innocent. Most users only see a small fraction of this - we moderators see it all. It wears us down and stresses us out. For us long-time moderators it's starting to fuck up our mental health. We're well aware that the vast majority of people in our sub are children and teenagers. It's not like there's anything we can do about that, but it results in there being less mature discussion which irritates us mods even more. This all gets worse and worse and worse and worse and worse and worse, each day.
There are currently over 1000 posts in the mod queue. For someone who's not a moderator, this might not make sense: the mod queue is where all reported posts and comments, and spam-detected posts and comments go. Do you realize how bad this is now? Are you seeing how toxic and horrible the sub has become? Are you beginning to understand why "the mods aren't fast enough"?
This is what we are doing: we are privating r/GachaLifeCringe and r/GLCsister for 7 days. We ask that you take this time to re-evaluate your behavior in GLC, how it has strayed from GLC's original intentions, and your feelings towards Gacha users in general. During this 7-day lock, we will clear out the mod queue and revamp some parts of the sub. We hope that you will come back educated on the true point of the sub. Thank you for reading this and goodbye.
Hello PBJF!
nothing like a based debate to come out of a children game!
