Hello! Unfortunately, over the past few days, there have been a few misunderstandings from miscommunication between us as the mod team and you as the community. We would like to address this, as we feel and explanation is due out of respect for you all, as members of Red Thread.
We would like to emphasize that reading and understanding our rules to the fullest extent is a must. Upon joining the group, we’re under the assumption that these have been read and agreed upon, as if it were a contract. If there is anything that is not clear or a disagreement, we’re more than willing to discuss it. Our inbox is always open and we’re welcome to any questions or concerns in regards to our rules.
As such, if any of these rules are broken, we will deal with it via warning/discussion/confrontation as we see fit. Anything of this nature is discussed with the entirety of the mod team beforehand to keep things as fair as possible.
For now, we would like to ask everyone to review the rules and make sure they are understood. In the case of a disagreement or misunderstanding, we are always willing to have a discussion. But, as stated above, we cannot do anything unless we are reached out to.
When submitting an application, we assume there weren’t issues and process the application with this in mind. We hold every application to the same standards. In the case of a rejection, we do our best to always give a thorough reason with options on how to fix things. Moreover, one mod alone will never reject an application. Unless it is absolutely impossible for all of us to communicate in a timely matter, all moderators will be made aware of the decision and in agreement. A rejection is never the choice of one mod, and all applications are judged based on the rules we have set that we expect to be understood upon applying.
That being said, we are always open to discussion if the rejection does not seem fair. We do not wish for this to become a group that anyone is stressed to apply to, and we sincerely apologize if anyone has felt this way. We don’t want anyone to be afraid to contact us if something is confusing or miscommunicated but, as stated above, we will not know this is the case unless we are informed. If a discussion isn’t carried out properly, we don’t have the opportunity to fix or explain things. So, please do not hesitate to contact us if there are misunderstandings or something doesn’t seem fair.
We would like to extend our apology for the inconveniences and misunderstandings that have taken place during the course of the past few days and also to those that have been hurt in the process. It is never our intention to make anyone feel targeted or unsafe. In the future, we, as your mods, will strive to improve our communication with our members. We want Red Thread to be a place where our members can enjoy a safe and fun environment. We hope you understand and feel free to message us with any concerns or questions. We’re here to do our best to solve problems and continue making the group a better place. Thank you.
