I do understand where you guys are coming from, and I understand why you feel that way. But for the longest time, I felt like there are chat policies that should've been enforced, but weren't. I know society is different, and that some topics have sort of been normalized. But like you said, there are still people who feel uncomfortable with certain things, and even though you feel like they should just suck it up and go with it because it's human nature or because it's normal or because everyone is okay with it except that person, rules should still be upheld, and I think creating a safe space for everyone should be a priority. In some angles, it's unfair, yes, but we need to take a step forward into re-enforcing Chat policies, and a ban might be harsh, but it's necessary. People need to know what the repercussions should be, and sometimes being kicked is not enough. Of course if you abide by the policies, then you shouldn't really be afraid of getting banned. Also, this is only temporary. I have been thinking about rewriting Chat policies for a while now, and I've already brought it up with Brocky but we haven't discussed it in detail yet. For the most part, I'm thinking of putting up a council, or a deliberation committee who I will work closely with in rewriting the chat policies, and I kinda want it to be made up of different types of users we have here, who live in different time zones, with different background, admin team members and regular users alike. For those interested, say aye.
