Hello Dinks community, regarding the recent changes to the Awarn/staff guidelines revisions I have some quick suggestions I'd like to discuss. Below are 3 suggestions for the guidelines themselves, and the fourth is actually less-so related to guidelines but still something I'd rather not make an entire different thread over, so I lumped that in here.
1) Up the pedophilia jokes/conversation to 10 points, as it stands right now it is still 8 points. The reasoning behind this is that when the warning system was implemented, the most severe issues were not meant to expire for a very good reason. They were meant to be appealable, but not expire. I think this may have been an oversight and would like that to be addressed if possible.
2) Separate overly sexual topics and bring it back to 8 points. I'm not sure why this was combined, but I think given that sexual topics are not welcome here above the pg-13 threshold, especially that minors could be playing at any point. I think this should be taken with a little more severity as compared to other offensive topics. I think increasing the points issued with this will discourage harmful conversations that could affect our underage players.
3) For similar reasons stated above, NSFW profile pictures should be increased to 10 point warning after verbal warnings are issued to that player. Again, the assumption is that you're on a server with potential underage players, and people unwilling to adjust their pfp should not be welcome here. Think of it like exposing someone to pornographic material, just a huge, gross no-no.
4) Discontinue the usage of zero point trolling warns and instead utilize 0 point warnings in place of verbal warnings. That way, staff have easy access to keep track of verbal warnings and repeat offenders will not fall under the guise of avoiding rightfully earned warning points. I think this is the biggest beneficial suggestion to the staff team and will help moderate the server in a much more organized, professional, but most importantly fair way. With 0 point warnings, It will be much easier for problem players to not get away with whatever it is they're doing to cause issues, as well as being able to utilize staff discretion to not over moderate players.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk and i hope you all have a wonderful day! Post thoughts below!

We're just a giant ass
Cheeks are made of children
Old was just a fad
Shit on all the billions
