“These LOSGenuine notifications caused panic and security concerns with our users, and in hindsight was in bad taste for a platform such as ours. While we did not set out to inflict harm to our users, its clear by the feedback that we’ve received that many saw LOSGenuine as not only unfunny, but as a degradation of the trust users and maintainers.”
