Hello fellow gamers,
We're the people who will be implementing the next chapter for OAG.
As many of you have noticed, there is a lot of controversy and concern about the site's future under new management. This, in part, is owed to how we went about announcing the next chapter of our journey together. For this, we apologize and are here to dispel any and all rumors going around as well as address any questions you our audience have for us.
We will show you with our action and our product's quality that we are serious about our mission and respect for you - the consumer. To begin this process, we are setting up an AMA to answer questions you have about the transition, staffing, what is going on, or who is best girl and why traps are most assuredly gay. Anything you are curious about, we will attempt to answer.
Ask us anything!

I won't be as blunt as some of the other people, but I will agree that this line from your announcement is very concerning.
What is the new ToS going to look like, especially as relates to hate speech? What is going to qualify as hate speech? And will your enforcement of hate speech be incredibly one-sided just like (virtually) every other single website out there which has adopted a hate speech ToS clause (see, for example, Twitter where saying "OK, dude" is misgendering and leads to a ban while saying "Muslims have a right to be angry and to kill millions of French people" is perfectly allowed)?
Hi, sorry again as I mentioned we have misspoke using that term, as our different definition of it has caused quite an outrage. You can be rest assured that you'll be able to write " OK, dude " freely ;) But radical opinions like that will not.

What about the "pornographic content" part? Seeing as one of the first things you did was removing the lewd figurine adds i think i know the answer already on what your definition of "pornographic" is.
In order
It will be well defined and specific.
Hate Speech will utilize the European understanding of the concept. There will be no "from a position of power" modifier. Any derogatory or inciteful language will be banned. No calling people the N-word and no saying "kill all men."
All policies will be enforced equally.
Speech of that nature will not be permitted. There are no protected classes who have the right to kill anymore.
In my view, you're better off dumping the term entirely, and describing in an alternative way the things that you want to remove.
Agreed and this has been discussed and is under review. Owers and management get to make that decision.
Oh, the European understanding of it....you mean the kind of understanding were judges, with a straight face, sign arrest warrants against people for, and i quote, "posting something offensive on Facebook", thats the kind of understaning the new owners decided to go with?
That's the UK standard. The new administration is Eastern European.
Eastern European as in?
Look Kevin, i know you're genuine you're articles where always (well most of the time) spot on, however i don't trust Europeans...AT ALL, most of the garbage we have to deal with today has it's birthplace in Europe. Not to mention that i've seen all this way too often, big promises that ended up being quickly forgotten, NicheGamer did, BoundingIntoComics did along with many others.
Case in point, talk is cheap.
