This gatekeeping is scary

It could be but there’s a pattern. Pay attention to who up-votes which threads and you will see it for yourself.

I never flag reported anyone until after I was specifically harassed by a specific sub-group.

Never minded the Reverts nor had any issues with them until they started targeting me and others for having a different opinion.

Nope, not at all actually. But that’s okay for me as long as I have the ability to talk myself.

There’s a specific Discord that they use to coordinate off the forums.

Here’s also an example how they necro-ed one month old thread that they found by checking my profile for the simple purpose of trolling me. He also got his Discord buddies to help him and they all false reported me after that.
