@lkanies @thisismissem I'm shocked, actually.

Personally, it's pretty wild too. I've never been banned from a community and the Puppet community has only ever banned one real person before today.

@lkanies @thisismissem They convinced Slack to do it. The community team was me as primary owner, 4 community owners, and about 8 admins with moderation privileges, both community and employees. I've been banned and everyone else has been removed from their roles.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to give you a heads up that Perforce has forcibly seized control of the #Puppet Community Slack. They've banned me and removed the Community team and all moderators. This means that there is currently no spam or harassment moderation. It means that the community no longer has the ability to limit monetization. And it means that Perforce has direct access to your account info and no longer needs to go through the Community team when they need sales and marketing leads.
