RPF (Labor Camp) is no more[edit]

Source: Aaron-Smith Levin - YouTube video around June 5th 2023. Of course CoS could reinstate it anytime or reform it and call it something else. Asherkobin (talk) 06:35, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I, too, have heard this, but I have no reliable source to cite so it's not in the article. Grorp (talk) 07:45, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Graduation requirements[edit]

This source^[1] used in the article has a good description of the "formula" of confession or "success story" required before being allowed to "graduate" from the RPF. Probably should be incorporated into the article. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 20:23, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
