I get that things have improved, but I still think we need to be more mindful in our exchanges to really move forward.
Again, it was simply a suggestion, and I’m not hearing any suggestions from you or anyone else in this thread, aside from personal reservations about any of the things said up until this point.
They aren’t taken care of in this section specifically because they are immediately shut down as soon as they are reported and resolved as a “non-issue.” @Grammaton has done this before, and it really didn’t solve anything; it only forced a player to leave the forum. If you honestly believe the OBD doesn’t take out their own trash, then you haven’t really spent much time outside of this section, other than doing a bit of digging for receipts like I did.
Dude, we have moderators here, so why haven't they spoken up about his punishment for his actions unless I'm totally blind here? I just said if y'all want to punish him for his actions and he can't play ranked games for a while, then I'm all for it. It's not like we haven't punished players similarly due to their actions, but the same needs to be said and done about other players too, especially staff members. So if you're bringing double standards into this, then it's the same way for me in this situation.
This isn't and wasn't the issue; we were addressing the severity of the profane words being used, not them being used at all.
The English shouldn't have YEETED my ancestors from their own land! I will never forgive them for such disrespect...
If you have a problem with how tl;dr my posts are, I get it, but I’m not going to change how I post for anyone lol. I’m just saying what I feel needs to be said, especially since people had a hard time following my posts a while back. Now that I’m trying to express my thoughts more freely, I feel like my posting style is still being seen as an issue.
Because this sort of thing has always been a split issue among smaller groups of people in this section, and it’s not just solely regarding what happened in the Tales game with what Fang said or insinuated. Honestly, I’d appreciate it if you’d stop instigating and let us hash this out instead of trying to add more fuel to the fire, like others have been doing so far.
Do you not see the irony of accusing me of being some no life loser while getting pissy your AUTHORITY as a forum moderator does not yield immediate respect and deference? You're a joke. You opened this thread to get "opinions" and then are mad I'm "complaining". Brilliant.

To put it in perspective, when posts are reported in the OBD now, @Darth Nihilus or @Masterblack06 handle the situation and do what they feel is appropriate according to the severity of the issue.
To add to my point, I may not be entirely involved in everything that goes on in this forum, but I do take note when it starts to become a pattern, and we talk internally about these issues. Do these issues resolve themselves over time? Sure, but that’s mostly due to the fact that the damage was already done and the person or parties involved have gone elsewhere.

If y'all took the time to read through my recent tl;dr post, you'd see that I suggested creating a separate thread to address what profane words should and should not be allowed on our forum. I also added a point about simply allowing the visibility of such words to just logged-in users only. There should also be an option somewhere to allow users to enable censoring words themselves, and if there isn't, we can simply hire the same add-on developer I've been working with recently to add such a feature and avoid potential triggers for individuals going forward. Especially if y'all want to continue calling others cunts and whatnot, and the majority of the player base is okay with having such an environment. Like @Ultra said to me in his post, and I’m reiterating it in my own words, y'all can't have it both ways.

Fang and Ratchet are both staff members, so it makes no sense for them to ignore each other and be unable to get along while being on the same team. That's not how a 'team' works, and it’s counterproductive, especially when we already have a hard time getting other staff members to contribute to internal discussions.
The reason we didn't discuss this internally further is that this isn't just a one-off instance of a dispute; it stems from previous pent-up drama and discontent with either member. To put it simply, I have always been on the side of providing full transparency, and I will always do so, with all due respect.
@Poyser @Ultra, I’ll reply to your other posts a little later tonight, so my apologies if it seems like I didn’t get to those, but I will as soon as I get the chance to play catchup lol.
i am just pointing out how ive seen them complain about troupes or tribal feuds yet they r clearly spiting, unwilling to work with certain players based on who they r (for completely out of game reasons), and supporting/normalizing such spite behaviors. They don't think this stuff is bad for the game so i am telling them to not complain if it gets done to them in the future by whoever, and overall the game will remain divided with silly tribal feuds.
I'm okay with that solution so long as she addresses issues and concerns from all parties involved, which she seems to be doing here on top of adding her own personal reservations.
Tbh that’s all I needed to hear lol.
I'll have to get back to you on that, but I can see where you and @Ultra stand regarding the double standards in the OBD and this section as a whole. The SEO-related issue is a done deal that I resolved earlier, so I’m pleased to say we can move past that part that I keep bringing up when I have my reservations about things I notice while lurking or being active during games here lol.
For what it’s worth, we also don’t really want issues carrying over from one game to the next and we don’t really want long standing issues to be blighting games etc. Sometimes it will slip through ofc but generally that’s why we discuss it after the game and is also why some post-games can get a bit heated whilst people hash it out. Most of the time if it’s getting a bit too heated on here then we will try and move it to discord so that it’s at least being done privately. We will perhaps try and make this transition happen more quickly going forwards
That's perfectly fine, especially since you made your stance on spiting in-game abundantly clear. If players see it as a non-issue, then that’s on them, but they shouldn’t ruin the game for others just because they feel a certain way about another player or how they are being treated overall.
Report post > quick staff discussion in report to assess the situation at hand > YEET or NOT YEET > RESOLVED
If we can also make the squashing of beef more transparent and obvious, especially in this section, I believe it would help me temper my expectations and frustrations regarding posts I catch wind of whether they are reported or I come across them out of pure curiosity while observing how different games and setups work here, as well as Mafia as a whole.
