They're visible for me! Odd. But I went ahead and put the screenshots up anyway.
[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 art freebie thread
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."

-----------------------
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.
Bumping as I am wary about a new user being Paladin, but I'd like Spookers to weigh in on the message I sent them before any more info goes more public than it already is. (And if this does turn out to be them, I have screenshots backed up right now. Plus this would mean they are evading their ban.)
In light of the update, I learned from that brnr_account that links to the report user page keeps their ID in case of a name change (which is unlikely since I believe they just name changed) their TH account ID is 233826.
I've gotten a couple messages regarding this and after taking a look I'm pretty much confirming that this user I've been asked about is more than likely TraitorPaladin. I'll be updating the PSA shortly with more information.
Until then, please stay aware of the user "ResearcherandFriends", and report them for ban evasion. As this is the.. what, 4th or 5th time they've avoided their bans?
Where you said 'Paladins most recent response' the image link didn't work, https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/c3cc6ee6-a16d-4289-bd3e-adba289dcd8d/de3djp5-b282ccf5-b27a-431b-a4c5-9d4eb19f949a.jpg/v1/fill/w_560,h_1428,q_70,strp/screenshot_20200816_171041_chrome_by_porkydoll_de3djp5-pre.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOiIsImlzcyI6InVybjphcHA6Iiwib2JqIjpbW3siaGVpZ2h0IjoiPD0yNzU0IiwicGF0aCI6IlwvZlwvYzNjYzZlZTYtYTE2ZC00Mjg5LWJkM2UtYWRiYTI4OWRjZDhkXC9kZTNkanA1LWIyODJjY2Y1LWIyN2EtNDMxYi1hNGM1LTlkNGViMTlmOTQ5YS5qcGciLCJ3aWR0aCI6Ijw9MTA4MCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.D95tQn42hNZlCWkXXklfWy25F7HWSCTKsTEkhIrSL_w it says on the site: "storage: image does not exist" do you have a backup somewhere?
Vessine on page three you linked to a stash with a shirtless female character, can you please put it under a spoiler or add a nsfw warning?
Just as a small update: Admin has been dead silent the past few days so the account is still up. I'm really not sure if it's worth confronting Paladin at this point? I'm tempted to but this has gone on so long I'm not sure what good it'll do.
