[Tl;Dr: Minor accessing NSFW, constantly switching accounts and ban evading.]
This has been a topic of heavy discussion within the PSA thread, however it's been generally agreed upon at this point that a PSA is in order to bring a little more light to this situation and warn people about the behavior of this individual.
DO NOT. Harass this person, they are a child. They do not deserve to be attacked or cyberbullied, however this is meant to be a thread regarding their behavior and the situation at hand.
A couple of weeks ago, (of making this thread originally) it was brought to many people's attentions that the user known as "TheTraitorPaladin" or "ThePrincessPaladin" had been posting throughout NSFW forum games using their 15 year old oc.
Proof Here
Upon multiple users calling Paladin out, they had swiftly changed their muses age to 18, a seeming bare minimum to bypass the fact their oc is actually a minor.
While frustrating, I plus several other users resorted to simply blocking and warning Forum Game members and game owners.
---
However, the story goes quite a bit deeper.
It was found out that Paladin's claim to be 19 was completely false. And they are in fact, 13. (Potentially now 14? Regardless, very young.)
Proof 1
Proof 2 - They are admitting they are 13 on this account. However on their old account they lied. (If anyone has a screenshot of this please do send it to me.)
This is not only very troubling, but dangerous, as participating in NSFW content can put both parties in a lot of hot water for various reasons.

Them posting in a NSFW Forum Game
And Another NSFW Forum Game.
------------------------
While they listed their age openly to be 13 on one of their new accounts, (PidgeWithAGunderson, now banned) it's been caught that they had still marked themself as an adult, as they were able to access and a mature characters profile and respond to them in a Forum Game.
Proof Pt 1 - Mature restricted character in question
Proof Pt 2. - Them Responding to the Mature Restricted Character
Proof Pt 3
Someone addressing this with them - Claiming their ability to access mature characters is a "glitch"
------------------------
While this is off-site. They also have access to a Ko-fi. Which you need to be 18+ in order to even use the website.
UPDATE: This has been seemingly deleted/banned. If they have a new one please let me know.

-------------------
At the time of their original banning, they had posted a (now deleted) youtube video admitting they were using the website in a way they shouldn't, however they claimed they never "Actively seeked out NSFW", and they were just "trolling."
Screenshot of Videos description before video was deleted
-----------------------
I'm going to reiterate this is not a witch hunt. And never should be. However this has been a long going issue that has now gone down quite a rabbit hole. They are risking the safety of adults who are trying to spend time in ADULT ONLY spaces, and they are ignoring the consequences of their actions.
It has also come to many people's attention that someone may be harassing them by stealing their email-addresses and signing them up for NSFW websites? This is unacceptable, although there is no surefire proof on the validity of the claim, as they have not provided evidence to back this up.

It's been discussed that it's likely that Paladin has returned under a new alias. This can't be 100% proved but feel free to DM me if you have any suspicions!
Past Updates:
UPDATE: 8/15
It's to our belief they're now going by the name HollowMossStudios . Please report this account. Account has been closed!
Art Comparison for Evidence Courtesy of Vessine ! Thank you!
Paladin's most recent response
As of 8/16, they've posted in this thread claiming they would not return to TH.
1 - 2 - 3
They also posted another video.
Description - Their official claim they would not return. - Side note.
UPDATE: 11/8 (Yes, 4 months later.)
Thank you to people who have been very diligent and notifying me about Paladins newest account.
As of now, Paladin has appeared under a new account known as ResearcherAndFriends
Art Proof from said account:
Note the exact same style as all of her other accounts
More art
Please report the account for Ban Evasion.
I'm not really sure what to say other than I'm extremely disappointed in them despite them promising to not come back in their own PSA thread. :/ It's a bit upsetting this has gone on so long.
UPDATE: 11/14
We've received yet *another* statement from paladin stating they would not be returning. If this holds any weight, who's to say. But they've acknowledged multiple times they do not belong here now.
Their account is currently still up, please continue to report it for ban evasion to get it closed down.
Just started reading up on everything. x_x Boy this is going back to quite the rabbit hole again. I'm going to be updating the main post with some new updates and information so it's easy to find.
The post is fairly condescending. And "just happening" upon this callout when I hadn't even posted their name yet in the title amuses me. It's very telling. So 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Vessine thank you for the check!! It's super useful! I'll put it up on the main post too.
non-info related:
thanks as always to everyone for the updates.
reminder to everyone in these times (myself included) to be extra vigilant and check peoples accounts thoroughly if you give away codes sometimes!
edit: (reply to below post)
Yikes @ that whole bulletin, but anyways I do have to say that the phrasing and tone/style? Very reminiscent of thatvideo description screenshot and some of the original posts Paladin had made when caught trying to get NSFW art.
The rude very condescending swearing/statements are what's really throwing me for the loop of this is indeed them. That and the fact they went to a bulletin? Instead of coming to the thread or Spookers to clear their name? Very similar to Paladin's behavior.
Also? Italics at the end of the bulletin as the final statement similar to this screenshot?
🤔🤔🤔🤔
And finally, vampyric, the issue isn't so much the NSFW thing anymore. They've admitted that they have a TH ban that's easily upwards of a couple of decades from previous stunts on YT videos and descriptions, at this point the issue here is the ban evasion from TH itself.
Final edit, in case of the account closure, screenshots of HMS's below comments, can be found here: X X
I'm not sure how you want us to respond to this. You know what you're doing is wrong and you said in a youtube video yourself that you'd speak to a therapist and stop coming here until you were 18. But you're still consistently seeking out toyhouse codes and rejoining only to get found again. We're not going to let you just come back to the site when you've broken multiple promises and lied on multiple occasions? You've proven that we can't trust you to behave.

I've cleaned up the main post. Added a few new notes and trimmed some things.
HollowMossStudios (replying in spoiler to keep thread clean)
While I'm very sorry you have had to deal with these things, as you said yourself this doesn't excuse your actions. This only provides context but doesn't forgive the wild goose chase you've put everyone on for now over two months.
There are ways to cure your boredom that don't including putting yourself into adult spaces and simultaneously threatening people's safety. (Including your own.) If you want to rp ocs, there are websites to do that other than this one like the countless social media sites like Tumblr. Or, heck, I'm pretty sure Gaia Online is still active forum wise.
You're obviously very aware from your statements that minors viewing NSFW is now not "okay". But here you are, again. And you saying that you purposely do dangerous things just tells me that this is just going to be a problem still for the foreseeable future.
If you were sorry for your actions you'd just accept your ban and leave the website.
HollowMossStudios
okay but what does that have to do with you coming back to a website you arent welcomed in?
While i do feel for your situation you are banned from here and coming back and trying to hide isent going to help you. sure it might cure some boredom but it'll only hurt you in the long run when you eventually can come back without being kicked out.
I think it best we just report HollowMossStudios and move on. They're not interesting in doing the right thing here...
