Why FAF promouting streamer with name Putin?
-
I just saw a picture of Putin with his name on the "content creators" tab. Many organizations prohibit members from even taking the Russian flag as a symbol of war while FAF openly promotes dictatorial and Nazi attributes. So my question is what is the official position of FAF administration? Is FAF supporting Russian narratives or they just literally don't care what is coming on in the world?

FAF as a platform does not endorse or promote any political ideologies, figures, or narratives, including those associated with any form of dictatorship or extremism. The username in question has been in use prior to the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine, and under our current rules, usernames that reference political figures are not automatically disallowed unless they explicitly violate community guidelines, such as promoting hate speech or inciting violence.
We do not agree with your phrasing suggesting that FAF "openly promotes dictatorial and Nazi attributes." Such accusations are inappropriate and do not reflect the nature of this community or its administration.
To clarify, the FAF Association has previously issued a statement regarding the war in Ukraine:
"The Board of the FAF Association expresses its grave concern about the military action started by Russia in Ukraine. Alongside the UN, we stand united against war and condemn any use of military means to resolve political conflicts."
We maintain this stance and have implemented measures to keep FAF a safe and inclusive space for all members, including restricting political discussions to designated channels and moderating content based on established guidelines.
This thread will now be closed, as the issue has been addressed. Thank you for your understanding.
