I’ve played lot of role-playing games back in my day and often people write all kinds of things as flavour text. And none of it is meant to be taken literally.
This line gave me an important insight into how you were thinking.
The creators were thinking of it as a community trust-building exercise. But you thought that it was intended to be a role-playing game. So, for you, “cooperate” meant “make the game interesting and entertaining for everyone.” That paints the risk of taking the site down in a very different light.
And if there was a particular goal, instead of us being supposed to decide for ourselves what the goal was, then maybe it would have made sense to have been clear about it?
But the “role-playing game” glasses that you were wearing would have (understandably) made such a statement look like “flavor text”.
