I just got kicked from your Discord server, the only way to receive current news about the game, because I declined to answer your moderators’ private question about my age.
This is absolutely unacceptable. This server stands out as the only community where I’ve ever been harassed in private messages by moderators asking such invasive questions. It’s not only unprofessional but also a blatant disregard for privacy and respect for community members.
Your server is supposed to be a place for fans of Fear and Hunger: Termina to engage with the game and its updates, not a platform where members are interrogated or pushed into uncomfortable situations. Being kicked for something as irrelevant as withholding personal information like my age is absurd and deeply disappointing.
I would strongly encourage you to reflect on how moderation is handled in your community. Driving fans away over such behavior damages both your community and the reputation of the game. Please consider implementing clearer, more respectful moderation policies that prioritize the well-being and comfort of all members.
You do realize this game is 18+, if not 21+, right?
There are things in this game minors definitely should not see, and it can even be extremely disturbing for 18-year-olds because of the topics this game is about.
The mods asked your age because they wanted to make sure you're old enough for the fandom, and since you didn't answer, they automatically assumed you were a minor and kicked you from the server to protect you.
While I understand the need to ensure minors are protected in an 18+ community, Discord already provides tools to handle this appropriately. For example, age verification can be integrated directly into the server's entry process, such as through verification bots or server settings. There is no need for moderators to approach members in private messages. This method is not only intrusive but also ineffective at achieving its goal. I could have said "50 years old," and your moderators would have had no way to verify it. Such an approach does not protect minors in any meaningful way—it simply inconveniences and alienates legitimate community members.
Moreover, this situation is exacerbated by the fact that Discord is currently the only platform where updates about Fear and Hunger: Termina are available. For instance, the game's Itch.io page has not been updated with new information for over a year. For many fans, Discord is the sole resource for staying informed about the game. Being removed from this server due to a poorly handled moderation policy creates unnecessary barriers for people who genuinely want to support the game and stay updated.
I strongly encourage the moderation team to reconsider their approach. Using proper age-verification tools within Discord would be far less invasive, more effective, and respectful to community members. Kicking users from the server for declining to answer a private question is not the solution.
