What exactly does this statement mean: "...going to the admins afterwards and forcing them to actually review the situation." Are you implying that we make decisions without reviewing the situation at all?? Because that literally makes no sense and it feels like you are criticizing me, and the others, without having any idea what goes on.

That's kind of the problem isn't it. That we don't know what's going on

Well according to the admin policy it is a requirement that we review the entire situation, and then re-review it if something changes. And if you dont think the current admins are capable of doing that, why did you vote for them in the first place?

I've supported like three of the current admins. Some of the ones I have the biggest problem with were here before me therefore I was powerless during their promotion.

Also as many of the admins aren't very active here I'm guessing the information they see about users regarding blocks/bans is very filtered and biased certain ways. I can't see any other logical reason for banning a user for six months when they only gotten five short bans in the past year.

It's called a "chat log."

Which is a required form of evidence.

All Ale has to do is link a chat log and say "they've been acting like this all the time and have an extensive ban log" and he can get anyone banned/blocked

You can't say "they've been acting like this all the time" without evidence backing that up, or else no one takes you seriously really. :P

explain my ban then. 

Sometimes an Admin may make a horrible vote that nobody agrees with and needs to be fixed, but that one vote is not a major enough issue to lead to a demotion. 

I guess I'm probably not allowed to vote on this considering my current ban which I still do not condone, but I think yall know what my vote would be.

Imo getting banned for 30 days because of an opinionated CM is uncivil, but whatever, nobody cares about what I say when I have criticisms for the community, since apparently I've been deemed a toxic member...

Why does every reply I make to anything get removed? >_>

Honestly though, the word literally has no negative connotation. I'm not saying that the person is an idiot, I mean it's lamentable that they had such a limited upbringing, and I hope they won't let their sheltered childhood affect the policies of a 13+ site. 

A. Saying "I'm pissed off" is in no way related to any cuss words, and honestly, if you grew up believing "piss" is a bad word, I feel bad for your limited worldview and mindset. It isn't "bad" and doesn't have a negative connotation at all, and if you think otherwise you've been sorely misinformed. 

And keep in mind, the use of the word in an offensive or rude manner will still be completely banned. This will not make chat more unfriendly or rude.

Insinuating that the secular and non-insult use of the word in a 13+ environment is unfriendly?

A. It's ridiculous that it is blocked, we're a self professed 13+ site and "damn" is hardly a swear world. I don't know what perverted world some of you grew up in, but if you believe "damn" is detrimental to society or somehow dirty, please keep that to yourself and don't force your limited world view on us normal folks. All it does is makes you seem nitpicky and self conscious of your easily damaged world view. 

A, per Skul.

Same way as a President shouldn't be able to make the rules guiding him himself... =P

It just leads to discord from the community and confusion between Admins and CMs. 

A, the idea of Admins having secret rules that they make for themselves is stupid. =P

Haha I have firsthand experience about being that person and it's quite fun Tbh :P

A. I think a large part of the community has lost the ability to vote with any maturity, evident from certain emoticon votes where people were chosing a random side for no reason or opposing for a laugh at the vote creator.
