You're saying you don't think people will truly learn from what happened. Pretty bold statement considering how much everybody got stirred up over all this. It's been a week and the fire flares up, goes down, and flares back up. The decision went from us being told it was indefinite to depending on community opinion. We have received more information from one of the admins about what has happened and are now learning that things are turning into a case by case basis. So yes, it seems that everyone has learned something very quickly. 2. You're saying staff don't have an agenda to silence people's opinions, yet we already see that staff have gone out of their way to use non-official discords/private discords as evidence for banning people. Essentially, policing people's opinions, at least of specific groups. 3. You're saying there's no difference between staff and non-staff. Wut? There absolutely is and to say there isn't is just truly arrogant and ignorant. The attitudes of many staff, especially upper is that of entitlement and power hungry. You even writing this post saying nothing is wrong and that people need to move on, shows that. (I mean there's much less of a difference now seeing as how they are resigning in droves so maybe you're more right than you would have been a few weeks ago). 4. I agree, no more clique generalization, it makes things to simple, and causes too much harm. The general "staff" term is good for addressing those in the position but not for how things are handled. This also goes for the people being punished, seeing as this has come across as a witch hunt. This is a KEY point because the "clique" mindset is how Tdawg got wrongfully banned, just because he was associated with the others. 5. You say compromise and I agree. There's only one problem. Communication. We can't compromise when we don't have clear and concise communication from the top. The ones in charge of the decisions and handing out the punishments here have not given us much. Only a few have done much to help, and we appreciate that. We also have inactive admins and vague answers flowing in. We aren't sure what's really going on so we are stuck waiting. Again, as we all know, "the admins word is law" ... unless you complain enough There's a reason people have been reacting this way. If you can't see why, no matter what side you take, IF you even take one (because you don't even have to), then you are truly out of touch. RE: Addressing Toxicity in the Community - daeganislegit - 08-31-2019 can we just all make up and be a community again.

More/better communication can only come from good, active staff and a better, active owner. We don't have either of those.

What happened happened, we can't do anything to fix or change that. We, the community, have done everything in our power to put these issues to light, but by sitting here and arguing we're essentially making this a whole lot worse. Yes, the admins messed up, they now know (or at least a few of them hopefully do). Let's just all sit back and relax and take a breather. This will all be addressed by a more competent higher up hopefully soon. Like Daegan has been saying, this was supposed to be a place where people could come and escape the hardships of the real world, but all of this is only egging it on and making it worse for people. I don't want to push those away who still want to play. Before I get backlash for whatever reason, I'm friends with most of the banned people, but it is for sure time to let this settle down and wait for an official response from an admin. These threads and the responses they get are adding way too much gasoline to a already severe fire. RE: Addressing Toxicity in the Community - Summer - 08-31-2019 I know. If you wanna drake things seriously, go join the other side. Who actually plays the shit game LULE RE: Addressing Toxicity in the Community - Avocado Toast - 08-31-2019 Theres nothing wrong with saying what you think about a fucking situation, there seems to be a lot of people who think anyone’s opinion that’s not the same as theirs is automatically toxic or negative.(Evident to -1’s to whoever doesn’t agree with y’all) Like you’re dumb as fuck lmao. Too many soft individuals nowadays who can’t sit and listen, immediately if you don’t feel the same you are labeled as “toxic” just because you can’t respect what another human being is saying to you. Ya’ll feel personally attacked when its not the case at all but its sad tbh. Put some respek on my nigga Dalek's name!!!!
