Don't mean to spam the thread but I don't feel like editing the last post.

Transparency is just generally a good practice. If we don't know why shit's happening, it'll cause confusion, and confusion causes chaos, and chaos spirals into more chaos and drama. The more transparent the staff is, the easier the job of the staff is what I'm saying. When the staff's actions are locked behind closed doors, the staff's actions can easily get more nefarious. and if the staff get more transparent and honest, so do the people. That means people doing nefarious things to eachother behind closed doors get caught faster. And when the punishment for leaking staff chat is so severe, and with the staff being as opaque as they are, the people start to wonder what you're hiding. This both causes distrust from the players, and raises a valid point about the current practices the staff are having.

See and I understand you there. I WANT transparency but on the same hand we don't need to tell you guys that there's a child pornographic linker on the loose. If people would not be on the staff's back and getting mad when they don't do something but then turn around and get mad when we do, that'd also make our jobs easier as well. Transparency is a good thing and I believe the staff as of late have done a good job of it.(Granted I could be biased about it but I've seen us talk more in general). But there are specific sensitive topics that don't need to be thrown out. Also, why wouldn't there be a harsh punishment for leaking a private chat? If I told a friend of mine something in privacy and said item was spread, I'd lose trust in that person and wouldn't tell them anything else in privacy. It's not a secrecy thing, it's a sensitive information thing.

I'm kinda missing the part where being spiteful and withholding important information helps the community at all. If you don't want people joking about it, fair enough, but don't put anybody in a situation like this recent one where they didn't know something was going on and they do something seemingly minor only for it to turn into a big shitstorm. Deal with the people who are making it worse and move on. These types of people are always going to exist, it's a part of life.

 Why do you need to know that there's a child pornographic linker on the loose to know to not make a tier list and then listing the known pedophiles of ourr servers? It doesn't help that you guys made the thread, had it posted and then played around with the same topics you listed in the discord. I believe you guys weren't raiding in intention but you did it on accident. You did it all on the same day and probably should've thought about how others may have taken it as well. I personally don't disagree with the bans seeing as how everyone who got punished has had warns in the past for shitposting, have they not?
