She also explained why she wanted to create the group in the first place, saying: "Some women need a non-confrontational place to talk with other females in this community." "It wasn't a troll, the thread was a genuine attempt at establishing a group for female fans of Star Citizen." "My organisation should not have been an issue but apparently is," she added. Lauresh insisted her post was not made on behalf of Something Awful, "but as a female gamer". "However, on review and in spite of the sheer volume of concerned Goons coming out of the woodwork on this, I do not believe the thread was necessarily a setup and that several mistakes were made in terms of moderation."
This would not be the first time SA Goons have created an issue. "The user in question is also part of the Something Awful group, which made the moderator dealing with the issue believe the entire thread was a setup. "As always, this is extremely tedious," Lesnick said. However, Lesnick went on to say Lauresh was part of a group from the Something Awful website community that had been "using this as an opportunity to troll the forums". Certainly, we are not sitting around in smoky boardrooms dreaming of ways to exclude 50 per cent of the planet in our space adventure." "Part of the Star Citizen dream is to build a game that crosses traditional gamer boundaries and includes an experience that everyone can enjoy. "Let me begin by stating what I'm surprised isn't obvious: Cloud Imperium Games is not in the business of preventing women from playing our game," CIG's Ben Lesnick wrote in a post on the Roberts Space Industries forum. Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games has now responded to the situation, lifted the ban, reinstated the Female Gamers Group thread to the forum, and removed the moderator who issued the ban "pending further review". Lauresh was subsequently banned for her trouble by the forum's moderators, and the thread was closed.
The response to this from other users was negative to say the least. On Saturday 3rd May user "Lauresh" posted on the Star Citizen forum stating her intention to create a community exclusively for women.
