All it asks for is that faction discords keep their public sections clean. This really isn't an unreasonable expectation, especially when your server is de facto the sole gathering spot for people playing in a region or on a specific ID. Like it or not, such servers are part of the community now just as much as the game or the forum is.

Im not exactly sure why you believe it is an outrage every time i, or other people open general discussions to understand more about the matter. Its not like it will miraculously change anything, it's more so people give their own inputs/views on it, preferably in an educated manner as i have so far. Then again, you and i both know we always come from different sides of the fence so to speak so that probably answer me to the why at the beginning of this reply.

Seems like asking things became a bad habit these days. Idea - why don't we limit or even ban asking questions too?

Outrage, opposition, pushback. We can argue semantics all day long. But I suppose I did make it easy for you to sideline everything else I've said.

This change isn't really hard to understand. Discovery as a community has an abnormal need to use less than stellar vocabulary to conduct even the most basic of conversations. All this change does is make people think twice before they resort to Nigels or other assorted funny words whenever someone has the audacity to "bring out the worst in you". Which is a massive tell on yourself all on its own.

why should you be able to post porn? Like there could be minors here after all but calling a friend the n word goes to far?

Rightfully so there's going to be a sudden shock and growing concern by many that they are at risk of being banned/sanctioned from this community just because they said something that hurt X person's feelings. Amplified further by the recent ban on that IMG| drunk, which (apparently) is a situation of X & Y DM'ing, but Z filing the VR? Excuse me what?

Increasingly we're entering a cultural age in the western world where everyone seems so entitled to be butthurt that they must seek a personal justice for their poor poor feelings, leading them to go after people over issues which needn't be one.

People can't talk to one another with familiarity no more, you can't affectionately speak to someone with what would typically be slurs or racial insults no more (there's a few Discord bans related to this, you know what I'm on about). This level of interpersonal normalisation of language has been thrown out of the window and replaced with a thought-police orientated drive that seems hellbent on stunting speech.

So, ye. Misconceptions.

You really, really have no need to go out in an open discord and spam n words or transophobic comments even if its your friends. If you wanna do that then lock your Discord up and accept you just won't be official any time soon with such things festering in there.

Three such bans with incredible nuance which have been ignored. Yeah, real nice.
