That request was denied. So I consider what I said to be a valid complaint. And I'm not being ironic. You got what you wanted. You have a safe zone where your views can't be challenged. But a few of your same members who are prolific posters in this group regularly come over to the Gungeon and try to stir shit. If it's good enough for you to have a protected group, it ought to be good enough for us.

And no I do not have access to the Host's forum. Nor do I have the time or inclination to ever become a Host.
