+ On April 24 2017, at approximately 5:00pm EST, the head moderators (s_99, LOCAP, and Clozure) of the popular subreddit /r/3dshacks censored a post exposing a child predator in the 3DS, Wii U, and Switch hacking communities.
+
+ This post, made with the staff approval after much bickering, received a score of 417 with an 80% upvote rate, and clearly had the support of the community behind it. This was not a rash post of a sole developer, but rather had the support of the staff of various developer groups. +
+ These moderators were entrusted to keep the community safe, but instead they attempted cover up the issue. Some members of the staff did not want the community to be made aware at all. Because of this censorship, I will no longer be associated with the /r/3dshacks subreddit or IRC until there is a change in leadership. +
+ A post explaning the events (with additional information and evidence) can be found here. A full archive of the removed thread can be found here. The original (now removed) thread can be found here. +
+ I would like to formally apologize to the moderator dubyadud, whose legitimate apology I had assumed was damage control on behalf of the moderator team. The deletion of a pre-discussed post this important felt like a betrayal of trust, and as such I was lumping all the moderators together.
No, this guide will not be deleted. This notice will be removed when it is appropriate to do so. It is not a "witch hunt" when evidence is provided. + +
