Mainstream media and politicians are moving fast against the international meetup on February 6. The amount of information coming in is extraordinary, and it may grow even larger, which means that the forum must be placed in a state of emergency. What that entails:

1. No new forum accounts will be activated. Any pending accounts will be activated after the emergency ends.

2. Any violation of the rules will result in more severe penalties. If you distract the moderators attention off the meetup and on to moderating your rule violations, we will give you the maximum punishment. One-week bans in peacetime may now result in permanent bans.

3. Do not use jokes or satire when it comes to assault or rape. The world is watching. Don't say anything that will make us look bad. You will be banned immediately if you hint at any illegal activities. "I was joking" is not a defense.

4. No fearmongering. Keep your emotions in check and do not attempt to scare the membership based on your own internal worries. Only share actionable and objective intelligence when it comes to threats against us.

5. Do not PM the moderators with any non-meetup business. Save any problems with your account until after the emergency ends. Messaging us during an emergency clogs our inbox.

6. Help if you can. Check out the Meetup threads in EE to see if you can help us share relevant information on how the enemy is trying to stop us.

You are free to participate in the forum like usual, but be extra diligent on following the rules and not causing drama. I expect this to be lifted around Sunday.

How is it that some people can't be left in peace?

I would also advise others to be careful with newbies or low post/low rep members with old sleeper accounts that have suddenly become active in the last few days.

While we appreciate all the sincere help we can get, it's worthwhile to be helpful but cautious when sending private messages with someone who is not well known here yet.

Great job with the red banner. I may have skipped it or missed it otherwise.

I was of the same impression.

Sometimes, we may get so caught up in other things that we may not realize certain important matters, and then if we were to believe that we were joking or to say something that was otherwise merely argumentative about a controversial issue, the impact on our account could be worse if we did not know during a time of higher sensitivities and attacks on the forum.

I definitely appreciate the heads up and the fact that the heads up was highlighted as soon as I logged into my account and on any page. Makes it more difficult to assert, "I didn't know."

Adventure7 here, my friend referred me to this forum early last year when I mentioned couchsurfing effectively creating lasting relationships along the way-- similar to the intention of the Tribe meetup system, I believe (although my vision has less restrictions to maximize creative input)

Anyway, I found a triggering article on social media which inspired me to investigate into this further:

When investigation of this article brought my attention to this forum again, I felt the desire to exercise my influence in this.
I have been quite active in the RSD PUA community (much less now as I'm focused on building my brand) so organizations that promote intention of creating conscious men who respect women through clever social dynamics is something I would like to see more of.

You may do a little better to post to the newbie threads on RVF for a while, rather than commenting and potentially summarizing on potentially controversial topics when you have a new account before guys here get an opportunity to get to know you.


Also, your choice of the word "respect" (bolded) above is rather curious because it does not seem to be a central aim of various forum members (or a representative description of goals that forum guys have), but giving you the benefit of the doubt regarding your intentions in your post and your aspirations for the forum (whether you believe the forum should change or not), you may have merely chosen an inadequate word. In other words, this thread and this timing does not seem to be a very good place regarding potential forum introspection... if that may have been part of your aim.


Edit:

Also, upon my review of the link that you posted, that Article is engaging in some kind of analysis of Roosh and summarizing his position related to various topics, which is something that we don't really do with forum members. There is even a forum rule on this point regarding the sissy aspect of engaging in judgement and analysis of forum members....

I am not sure what else to say, except that for a first post, you are appearing to potentially have numbered days unless you relegate yourself to the newbie section and engage in a bit more experience based posts... rather than attempts at summaries and proclamations of preferred forum direction.

I better just not say anything. I wish you the best.

Don't know if this needs a separate thread, but it looks like the main ROK site just came under attack, either DDOS or an outright attempt at a hack. It's gone offline, but just before it did I'd hover my cursor over the link for page 2 of the forum and see that the address I was headed for was along the lines of "www.returnofkings.com/2/s=Rape" or similar. Corresponding false links for pages 3 and onward. Obviously these were dead links...

God save us from people who mean well. -storm

It's offline from heavy traffic, not a DDOS.

And now it's back where I'm standing!

Wow. I can't help but believe this will get our message out there to many, many thousands more men! Please update us if traffic has a sustained higher level. Or if the forum gets many more requests than before.

At first, I thought the negative publicity about us being a "pro rape" group was bad. Now I see that, irrespective of the lies, this will draw more traffic and THAT will result in more like-minded men swallowing the red pill and joining us. I think it could be huge for us. I sure hope so.

Roosh, when this all blows over please post graphs of what happened to site traffic across the days. I confess to feeling a desire to chortle.

I totally want whatever details can be shared about this whole operation, and how we prevailed. Because I have confidence we will prevail.

General question for anyone who has the answer:

If our city's meetup gets moved to a new location, how do we get notified about it?

What pisses me off about all those SJWs is how stupid and ignorant they are.

I bet all those keyboard warrior didn't read the article in question and follow the heard like the sheaple they are. That's why I stay away from Facebook. It's plagued with made-up articles with questionable content. They share it and comment like it is the real deal. I bet they don't know what a scientific journal is and what's the point in putting sources.
Most people have no idea the mainstream media can lie (and how often they do it).

Most people are irrational and I try to stay away from those idiots.

It was pretty funny waking up this morning and seeing Roosh's face pop up in my Facebook feed by way of someone in Quebec.

Shall I dutifully "like" it every time it every time it shows up?

Yep. If anything Roosh / ROK related pops up on twitter/facebook I support it openly. That's part of turning the tide.

Well, the context wasn't exactly positive...

Roosh is part of an anti-fragile group, no such thing as bad publicity. The media hunt only helps him expand his base and add followers that may have never heard of him.

A context that sin't "positive" only hurts mainstream media outlets, not guys like roosh.

Traffic must already be through the roof (on mobile or I'd copy the pictures)

By support I meant ROK/Roosh, not the article/post.

The forum is now out of emergency mode.
