Ok, can we know what was this great threat then that suddenly made you change your position in just a few days?
Furthermore, do you believe that someone who is issuing a threat on a public platform is going to not act it out because you took it away? If anything it just sounds like it would make them even more incensed to do it, just makes absolutely no sense to frame it as some immediacy issue.
At least one accessory to attempted murder, at least:

As I asked previously, there is any indication of kiwifarms involvement? there's nothing in that link pointing to it, aside from someone calling in to say they are a specific user in the forum, which lets be honest here it's madness to think is relevant.
I looked into KF as this was all breaking last week. I don’t have any links as they’re no longer accessible, so take what I say as you will.
When I went on, on the forum’s official home page put front and center there was a link to a post written by an admin/moderator (which was also pinned by moderators) doxxing some trans woman with her address and last known location and the need to bring her to “justice”, whatever that meant.
Frankly it was appalling and I felt like from that one post alone (there were hundreds of posts) I had seen enough

That happened before they made the original response, though. It's definitely not that.
Yes, as noted in the post if you read to the end, I am very concerned about that.
So all it takes is for a malicious actor to engage in false flag operations against me and CF will completely walk back their abuse policies and terminate my services, even if I act the best I can to moderate and remove the offending content? I'm not saying what happened on Kiwi Farms was a false flag because I don't know that, but neither do you. It's hard to process just how antithetical your actions today are compared to your words 3 days ago.
Even if it wasn't a false flag, moderators deleted the offending posts.
Excellent; since you're concerned about it, it should be quite easy to provide that evidence, right? Personally, I would settle for quotes with private information redacted (usually I'd ask for archive.org copies or such, but in the case of doxxing I agree that's not ideal).
> it should be quite easy to provide that evidence, right?
No. The post alludes to active investigations concerning, among other things, bomb threats. One doesn’t air evidence in that situation.

So, can we get any details on what was actually said on the forum rather than just "escalating threats"?
From what I heard there was a false flag bomb threat

I know you are concerned, or at least that you wrote that you were concerned, but given that it is a real concern why do it then, what do you accomplish? whatever threat that was supposedly being organized will still come to fruition, no?
