Review for National Novel Writing Month, Berkeley, CA, USA
This Nonprofit over the last 2 years has partnered with known scams, muted and banned users who spoke out against it. (2022)
Last year, when allegations of child grooming by a volunteer moderator was brought up, they not only did nothing, but took months to demod and remove them. When they did so it was only after they made threats to NaNoWriMo themselves. The CHILDREN that were being hurt had no one to help them and started to speak out. https://speak-out.carrd.co/
Many ML (municipal liasions) spoke up, screenshotted and called them out. Many got removed, and this year after they shut down the forums we were told major changes would accur.
As of 2024, they are now saying they will not HOST all age spaces for adult and kids to write. And the new Contract for MLS is not only a mess legally on international level, but included gag clauses to prevent MLS from speaking out again in the future should this happen again.
When any concerns are brought to them espically on the legality of the contract, they have told volunteers to just "quit" or leave. Even those wanting to continue CAN NOT sign the contract as it is.
