Honestly this has been a long time coming.  The communities in the discord are so different that trying to please everybody will end up leaving both sides unsatisfied.  The communities of the servers with an older crowd (i.e. TTT, DR, Murder) inherently clash with the younger community of the PH server.  The level of moderation desired by both sides is the exact opposite of the other and leads to grey areas in the rules.  The prime example of this is Discord Rule 1 (No NSFW), where topics that are by definition not allowed are being allowed because to the communities where those conversations are being had it would be ridiculous to disallow these topics.  That is not to say that there should be every scenario under the sun covered in the rules be dictated because that would cause even more strife.  The younger-focused PH community should not be forced to be exposed to content that they do not wish to be exposed to, but it is equally unreasonable to ask the older communities to censor themselves for the sake of a younger audience they have no intention of interacting or playing with.  Trying to compromise on this issue is, ultimately, like mix water and oil; it just won't work.

This issue is only going to increase exponentially as time goes on due to the pendulum shift away from equal representation in the discord staffing crew that is being seen presently.  At the start, discord staff was intended to have equal representation from all parts of the community, but has slowly but surely shifted towards nearly every member, save a few, being from the PH side of the community.  This has lead and will lead to the PH mindset being forced upon the other communities that want the opposite of it, leading to, in their eyes, a problem of over-moderation (for example: think of the "shut up rule" being applied to other servers).  If the current trend continues the only foreseeable end is for an echo chamber to be created, with the only obstacle to a complete takeover of over-moderation being Jammin.  If he were removed from the picture the other communities would be subject to a level of moderation that is not what most of them desire.

The best solution for this would be to add an opt-in role for people joining through PH where they could only see and communicate in the PH channel and other similar channels (Creations, Cute Pets, Gaming Setups, and Marketplace [not Music because of profanity or food because of *kabob*]) and would have to opt-in to see the other channels (including #general) thereby acknowledging/accepting what they are exposing themselves to.  This would eliminate the need to moderate other text channels as severely as the PH channel is moderated, while at the same time preventing their younger audience from being exposed to the older-focused (read: "toxic") communities.
