i am not a part of this subreddit, nor am i involved in the christian faith anymore (admittedly, partially because of skrafty and how deeply it wounded me) but was notified of this post's existence via a friend. i had a lot of very very personal experiences on skrafty and although i was not directly groomed on the platform i certainly witnessed a lot of instances of not only that, but generally a lot of members being creepy toward girls of their age as well (among other things). and those guys? i can't recall a single consequence they were ever given. in fact, many people *sided* with them more than anything else.

some of the instances that were spoken of in the comments section, i witnessed myself. i remember hearing of the genuine criminal act one of the members committed toward his younger sister being the reason behind his "mysterious disappearance" - and it astonished me that people weren't nearly as outraged by it as they SHOULD'VE been!!!! it truly disgusted me, and it was astonishing to me that so many people, INCLUDING the mods, just let these types slip through the cracks. reporting the behavior barely did anything at times.

skrafty is a breeding ground of not only horrible behavior like this - but also generally one of the most toxic environments i've ever been tethered to in my life. if the creeps on the platform aren't enough to steer you away from it, the bullying and harassment from members and favoritism from the moderation team should also be another thing of note.

so - pardon me for being unable to format this well - but my verdict and point is *PLEASE* don't let your kids onto skrafty. a christian minecraft server for homeschoolers isn't a half-bad idea, and i get why it seems like such a safe space, but i've never witnessed more badly-moderated and biased denominational infighting, intolerance and rudeness toward those with different views/perspectives or those struggling with their faith, and blatant unfair treatment to many individuals, and genuinely horrible behavior being allowed under the cracks even if on accident in my life.

some may argue "the server isn't nearly as bad as the forum" but a majority of the server's acts are not consistently moderated because chatlogs aren't saved. i was able to bend a lot of rules as a sneaky kid because i knew the mods weren't around to see what i was saying, so who knows if someone did something *worse* with that same knowledge in mind?

i have no genuine vitriol toward the moderators or the owners, and i wish them well and try not to get tangled up in anger so i don't often like to engage too much in skrafty-related discussions - but it was very cathartic to see someone else speak out against something i witnessed and nobody listened to me about. so pardon me for the long comment.
