I see the topic has derailed quite a lot. I am not saying it's on purpose, but this tends to happen a lot lately... I will just go ahead and filter all the irrelevant content. @ArcKnox , if you want something like a "directory"/library without discussion (I mean, even discussion related to the thread), let me know and I will discuss with the rest of the moderation team whether something like this is in order. To the rest of the participants in this thread, please respect the will/time of the OP.

Please stay on topic and remain on the P&W universe. Gratitude.

I am on topic, snek...

Coalition A and Coalition B starting yet another thread with the exact same subject and rules violations... Also, Coalition A and Coalition B getting a warning because of the above...

Handled.

The thread you are referring to included logs of entire channels that were not filtered. In the discussions of these channels, some OOC information was included. To my understanding, no one went through the whole thing to filter it, which is something that should have been done/taken under consideration. Reports about the links to these logs were made, but unfortunately no forum mod was active at that time to act immediately. The "violators" have officially identified this wrongdoing and have taken down the links on their own. This may not resolve the problem, since the links may still be around, but the problem was identified by the corresponding posters before having to get a moderation warning or anything. To my understanding, no member was specifically targeted on purpose. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Let's wait for Alex to respond. A reminder that this is a No Discussion Forum.

I see. The rule for "moderation as a weapon" is mainly about cases where e.g. Nation A did violate a rule, Nation B noticed and instead of it making a report, it "blackmails" Nation A by stating "if you don't do XYZ for me, I will report you". Reports however, worst case scenario, will just make moderators lose some of their time. There is nothing bad about them. You can be sure that each report is being judged with a cool mind, so as long as no rules are broken, you shouldn't really worry about them, even if someone "targets" you. If the evidence is flawed, you are free to point that out at the corresponding reports.

@Madokami you got no strike from that report though. What's the issue?

Genius. To be 100% honest, personally it took me some time to realize the poem could have a non-innocent perspective. In any case, if you have a report to make, just do so at the corresponding subforum. @CandyShi likewise.

Tune it down, please?

looks around in distress Tune it down. All of you.

Glad you made up. So proud of you all.

This has already been discussed with some of your members, but I will also state it here: The forum moderation team doesn't recognize "troons" as a slur, since no valid source establishes it as such and is hardly known by pretty much anyone (apart from your own community). An alternative meaning has been given from the "other side", so without any official evidence, there is no reason to prefer one term from the other. Regarding the Game Report you use as a reference, that's not a recognition of the word you mention as a slur. Action was taken at that time due to the whole phrase "x - sucks".

Till Alex addresses the issue, regarding the messages, you can block him. @Alex, while you are at it, please check the names of his 3 first cities.

Kind request for people to stay on-topic. You can always just DM each other or go to other relative threads, if you want to discuss something irrelevant.

What's exactly the violation you are reporting? With a simple google search, I found no issue with the lyrics.

@Epi... What's are you reporting exactly? Towards whom is the report? Also, this is a No Discussion Forum.

I see no "report" here. @Sir Scarfalot please.

I see that this matter has been resolved at a previous thread, so I will close this one.

Well, you should, since they are different people and different platforms. I can do nothing about Discord, so if you have any issues about it, report them accordingly.

The post you linked is about a Discord moderator, not a forum one. Also, in that case, not reacting to something hardly shows that "moderation staff misuse their power to shut down people who complain about their behavior". Shutting down people implies that you are muted, banned or anything that doesn't allow you to speak your mind freely. Which is not the case. About members from your alliance getting warned, I don't see why this is a problem if they did break rules. Regarding Akuryo's statement, I am a middled aged white woman loving minions' memes, so I can take the hit. You are free to show me an occasion where a forum mod has supported/defended/protected hate speech or how they give a platform to such speech.
