bias...

[loveydovey]

I wanted to drop a post here to talk about something that’s been bothering me lately regarding how arguments are handled in the threads. First off, I totally get that mods are doing their best. They're volunteering their time, and it’s completely impossible for them to sit there and monitor an entire chat or argument from start to finish. I really appreciate the work they put in to keep the site running.

That being said, I think there's a big issue with bias slipping into how rules are enforced, and the recent situation in the main chat was a perfect example. There was a whole religious debate going on, which is already against the rules. The user penty started the whole thing and kept purposely ragebaiting aj even after getting multiple warnings. But penty faced zero criticism or consequences, while aj took all the heat just for reacting to it. It feels really unfair to completely blame one person and let the instigator off the hook just because of past experiences or assumptions about a certain user. I think it's super important to look at each situation with fresh eyes and a professional stance instead of playing favorites or assuming who is at fault. This isn't just about this one situation either— it seems to happen a lot.

Again, I understand that it's easier said than done. But I just felt like it was something important to address.

I gave Penty a warning after she kept trying to start something with AJ. Penty wasn't warned about this before so I decided to give a warning instead of a kick, I warned AJ again but she didnt listen. She has been warned plenty of times yet still continues to argue and engage in drama in main. So.. That's all

If you purposely go against the rules, knowing how the rules are, then you have no reason to complain later after getting punished. Religion and politics are strictly forbidden to be spoken about in open chat. If one wants to take on those topics, they need to create a sub chat

☝ why is Religion and politics are strictly forbidden to be spoken about in open chat?

Is it because not everyone believes in the same thing? And it'll start an argument. Or is me missing something?

Yes. Cuz it starts unnecessary drama and arguments
