I think the decision by the mod staff was a great one! It definitely follows AA’s 1st, 5th, and 6th tradition.
Tradition 1: Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon unity.
Tradition 5: Each group has but one primary purpose-to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers.
Tradition 6: An (AA) group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the (AA) name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.
