A Commitment to Community Safety
Dear Valued Community Members,
Today, we want to address a significant concern that impacts not only our moderation team but the entirety of our community. Recently, we learned of disturbing behavior emanating from the CEO of a prominent SEO brand. This individual has been engaging in harassing actions towards one of our dedicated moderators, stemming from a necessary enforcement of our community rules—specifically a ban aimed at keeping our forum free from advertising and spam.
The nature of these actions includes repeated unwanted electronic communications and various forms of online intimidation that have created an atmosphere of unease. We wish to remind everyone that our moderators are volunteers who invest their time to cultivate a safe, respectful, and inclusive space for all members. Harassment, especially directed at moderators for merely enforcing guidelines, is entirely unacceptable and contrary to the ethos of our community.
By bringing this issue to light, we aim to raise awareness and reaffirm our unwavering commitment to safeguarding our moderators and community members alike. We are closely monitoring this situation and are taking necessary measures to ensure everyone’s safety and well-being.
To the individual involved: we kindly but firmly request that you cease all harassing behavior immediately. Should these actions continue, we will have no alternative but to involve law enforcement and seek legal action.
To our community: your support in fostering a positive environment is crucial. If you encounter or witness any form of harassment, we urge you to report it to our moderation team without hesitation. We are here to ensure that our community remains a supportive and constructive space for everyone.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Together, let us continue to nurture a community founded on respect and collaboration.
Warm regards,
The SEO Moderation Team
