In Regard To The Recent Announcement

But that isn't what this is about at all, and it shows in your responses. I really think you've completly missed the intent of the announcement.

You're frustration over the GMs ability to mute people in a discord when we're already capable of kicking people, banning people, as well as mute people in the past makes little sense to me. The intent of GMs is to handle these issues at a quick pace, coming to a decision with the approval of a people with distinct opinions on various issues. There's never been a need for approval from the community.

I'm honestly getting quite frustrated with the idea that we've become GMs for the sake of some power trip, doing things because we can or because we don't like people. Trust me when I say most of us are burnt out, tired, exhausted from the criticism that comes from our actions. There's no power trip to be had, no fun to be sought in 'doing things without consenquence'. We became GMs because we want to make the community a better place, and quite frankly, its posts like this that make it needlessly tedious, taking arguments as useless and tiresomely comparable to that of 'All lives matter' over 'Black lives matter'.

You know full well what we mean by 'criticism of women'. And if you don't quite frankly, it is not my job to educate you.

Being a decent human being is not a 'side', and this might be one of the biggest self reports I've ever read.

That is true. I did tunnel vision on the muting aspect of this all. But I do understand the point of the announcement. Like I said many, I'm not against it. I'm not even trying to recede it. My words may be prickly. But I genuinely want these rules, because they are new rules, to be expanded upon in a more general way.

I focused a bit on the politics of it due to the many responses critiquing the politics while largely ignoring my entire starting statement. I understand this is likely exhausting work. But all your efforts are being acknowledged. This thread proves it with how many people are disagreeing with me over it.

But just because you want to make this community a better place doesn't mean you can't make mistakes while doing so. The process of making this community a better place entails endless criticism alongside endless understanding and love. I'm sorry if this post frustrated you. But, unfortunately, I do like this community, too. So, I'll offer my criticisms. Which are sometimes invalid, but like yours, they should be critiqued.

To the whole 'criticism of women' part. I would like to mention, yes, it is your obligation to educate people about vague rules like this. Because at the end of the day, this means nothing worthwhile grammatically. It's implications vile without a context to give it morality. I, frankly, should not be telling you not everyone is on the same page.

Also, I have stated several times I'm not saying so. I have gotten over indulged in politics in this thread. But at the end of the day, I want the announcement to be better written and explained.

No one mentioned any political side.

If you do wish to attribute comments that are derogatory and bigoted towards members of our community to general right wing politics that's on you.

Harassing members of of the community or making bigoted comments towards them (which is the same thing) will be punished, I do not care how politically you align your argument.

If people hinge their personal values upon being able to disregard common decency, then they should perhaps rethink them.

It was implied, like I've said. But I appreciate the simply honesty.

However, like I said, I'm not against the Announcement. I just wished it was more general to avoid minor slips by those who wish to leap loopholes while also being clear.
