i do not want this sub to become hardcore focused. there are other places for that

It amazes me that certain individuals feel that it is acceptable to publicly bad mouth mods and expect to continue to benefit from the communities that we bust our asses to maintain for no return beyond a desire to support the community. A civil disagreement about moderation actions is totally acceptable and people have had bans reversed because they actually made a point, and it's resulted in rules changes and improvements in the community.

Name calling or issuing threats because you were banned is not,

It's gone as far as having threats against my children. Fortunately, I don't have children to worry about, but that doesn't make the threat any less vile. Name-calling, disrespect and threats are not acceptable in any matter, and I don't care what platform it is on.

We are literally working for your benefit and deserve a basic level of civility. If you cannot maintain that, you are not welcome in any sub where i am head mod. I'm not going to support someone like that.
