I can definitely see how people would be more offended at someone saying they have a mental disease that automatically makes them dumber than everyone else as opposed to just being called stupid the regular way.

I have not been consistent in my staffing techniques on the server, nor the discord. So, from now on I will be following the rules, directly, that were made a loooong time ago. Sorry about representing ASAB. :(

As far as the use of 'Retard'
The consensus is that:
"Man, that gun's damage is retarded!" is okay, however, once you direct it towards someone, that is not allowed.

Thank you for linking this, and committing to being more consistent in your staffing techniques. As far as I know, you had no part in my strike, but I truly appreciate it.

I think it would be good for all who staff the discord to read this, rules, and discord TOS (it's pretty short, certain sections can also be omitted because it doesn't apply to their role). In my warning I was never warned once, I can't speak of everyone else but as far as I know, they did not get a verbal warning either before the strike. However, if they did get a verbal warning and continued that is a very different circumstance. Also per those guidelines, the staff member should DM the user with an explanation of what they did wrong. I think this is key in preventing users from multiple rule violations, from not knowing the rules.
