Controversy and removal of rank[]
On 12 July 2022, Twitter user @OOCTransport posted a series of tweets with several images of a supposedly leaked snapchat of Managing Director Charlie_RBX. The user stated that Charlie has behaved inappropriately to a minor and therefore is not suited to be running a kid-friendly game. The user also demanded him to either step down or shut down the game. Later that evening, Charlie_RBX announced his decision "to step away from the community side of SCR".[1]
As a result of the backlash, all public text and voice channels in the SCR Official Discord server were locked down. Operations Director AsmeSolent stated in the Signaller Lounge on 12 July that the channels have not been deleted, but rather hidden from public view. He said the Directors were still deciding on what to do with the channels.[2]
On 14 July, the Roblox and Discord accounts of Charlie_RBX were renamed to SCRTeamOfficial, effectively removing the Managing Director rank. Not long after, Community Director tjh44 released an announcement in which, it said the Directors want to rethink the way the director roles work in SCR and that they want to keep Operations and Community to focus on Discord and the in-game community. The Innovations and overall Development, however, will keep separate from the Community side of the game. SCRTeamOfficial on Discord is now an inactive placeholder account that the Directors have promised not to use.[3]
After the release of Version 1.10, most public channels were made publicly accessible again, with the remaining channels coming back on 22 March 2023, eight months after the controversy.
