KiA was neutral toward the whole mess when it went down. More recently, there have been repeated instances of GGR users actively attempting to disrupt this subreddit, shit on its users, and attempt to incite "uprisings" against the mod team here. They were removed from the sidebar several months ago, and in the time since have gone out of their way, by their own actions and words, to continue to provide reasons not to put them back on it.

Attempts were made, as recently as a month or so ago, to reach out to give them the chance to get their shit together and show they were capable of coexisting alongside KiA without actively seeking to make things more difficult on both the users and the mods here. Those efforts have fallen flat each and every time. GGR users are not being banned for participating there, but those who cannot control themselves have been warned or shown the door, like most other trolls and shitposters who either fail, or refuse, to follow the rules as posted. It's gotten to the point the mods, as well as many users, are almost completely unfazed by the weekly GGR-related drama threads popping up.

At some point it has to sink in - why should any platform offer free advertising for those who actively seek to cause damage to it? Granting the ability to speak is one thing, but saying "hey, these guys show up every few days and fuck things up for the rest of you, if you want to hang out with them go ahead and click the sidebar"? Not fucking happening. They have been told what it would take to consider putting them back there, and refused to even budge, so at this point it isn't likely to happen.
