PSA: Blacklist Issued for Unofficial Event (إهتمامات Amino)

Hello AF&E,

We hope you’re all doing well and continuing to prioritize your well-being.

We would like to take a moment to address a recent situation regarding an unofficial event that has sought promotion within AF&E.

Over the past week, we received multiple reports from expressing serious concerns regarding the behavior of individuals connected to this event, as well as the overall environment surrounding it. These reports specifically involve Storm, the agent of the Arabic community named "إهتمامات Amino" (Interest Amino).

These concerns include:

• The use of slurs and inappropriate language in titles.

• The suppression of LGBTQ+ .

• A lack of communication and professionalism with event staff.

• Enforcement of rules that go against Amino’s guidelines.

• Tolerance of unsafe or inappropriate content.

• Reported inconsistencies in how rules are applied or enforced.

After reviewing the evidence and testimonies submitted, the AF&E staff has made the decision to implement a full blacklist on this event. This means that any related content—whether promotional or otherwise—will be disabled on sight.

This decision was not made lightly. When credible and repeated concerns arise—particularly when they stem from the leadership itself—it becomes clear that the event cannot be separated from the behavior surrounding it.

As always, our priority is the well-being of our and the virtue of the event space.

It is important to clarify that this decision applies specifically to the individuals reported for their conduct, not to the event organizer or the broader communities they may be d with. Future events from these communities will be reviewed fairly, provided they are organized by different individuals who have not been involved in the current concerns.

While AF&E staff does not have the authority to issue disciplinary actions against s, we reserve the right to deny promotion for events that raise repeated and serious concerns regarding behavior and safety.

We deeply appreciate the individuals who came forward to report these issues. AF&E is committed to keeping this space safe and welcoming for everyone. If you’ve experienced anything similar or need help, don’t hesitate to reach out.
