They acknowledge changes were made, so I would take that as confirmation, but that whole group/sub kind of cringey. Posts do get deleted by mods but users also make a lot of claims without any evidence. I get that most of those people don’t have a technical background so its hard to find evidence, but that also maybe is a good reason to make a claim.
EDIT:
When I wrote my original comment, I used “Apparently” and “Allegedly” synonymously. I understand if anyone wants to call me out on that, but doesn’t seem right changing what I wrote (seems like that would be covering).
I’d like to line with the “posts are getting deleted randomly” party. I mean the only thing not being deleted at this point is the memes, the cringe worthy memes. no discussions (unless very basic) or guides are flourishing on that subreddit anymore. and besides why stay on reddit in the first place if it is the reason they must act like this?
The tip toeing around stuff definitely does get tiring but I think some people just flock there because there’s a lot of people and Reddit still dominates search results
There could be a few reasons beyond what I already mentioned. A lot of people thought the blackout on Reddit was a trend or unnecessary and that wasn’t helped when Reddit forced a lot of subs to reopen.
I’m not sure though. I wonder if they have a post addressing it
This sort of shit has been going on in the warez community for decades. It’s why I don’t pirate software anymore - even Empress has a strong incentive to sell out.
Yeah, I also don’t pirate stuff. I’d rather use open source software anyways. And luckily the games I like deserve the money and I can afford to buy them

Apparently some mods were running keyloggers on the community.
I know they said the mods were deleting posts about whatever it was but do you have a link to the discussion or proof?
Bare in mind what OP posted was from 4 months ago, but one of the mods mentions it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/comments/14qvyi3/some_controversy_going_on_at_this_sub/

I mean why didn’t the mods migrate the sub here? like dbzer0 did here.

Keyloggers? On an internet forum? What for?
For logging keys, usually
of forum messages? No danger.
In software posted there, not in the forum software itself.
Cool DM me your account passwords
