Best Posts in Thread: On a serious note; what is this staff?

you're not the only one glad about that

 

Guys I came to this server for two reasons one because it's a working economy and two I don't get harassment which I would get on other servers with a name that clearly shows I'm a female.
I stuck around because of the family friendly aspect. Sure now that I am older yes, it does get in the way (actually wait, no it doesnt) which is why for it to be togglable would be an amazing suggestion

 

We will never have a sexual content toggle, because it's literally impossible for a non-human to distinguish, because that in turn requires great cognitive function to put into context and weigh options.

Orion9, Billybob12, Snowboardtiger, god knows who else

And yes I will admit we have our fair share of just toxic people of any age. But little kids aren't worth catering to is my point

 

Ted Cruz is literally Satan.

 

I liked the idea of having a command where you can enable / disable the chat filter. Of course, there should still be a rule that still makes really offensive things / excessive swearing bannable. I can live without saying swearing in chat, but I couldn't care less if I saw some swearing in the chat.

 

I got a 3-day forums ban for saying "regardless of wether or not you grow the weed yourself, it's still illegal to sell it most places"

I wasn't referring to you. There is blame on both sides, really.

You have children who push the limits just to push the limits, which triggers a harsher and harsher respond by the moderation team.

The solution is: Staff need to ease up and let the atmosphere be enjoyable, even if it's a little harsher for people to read. Kids need to stop thinking they have to be vulgar and curse. It doesn't matter if MeepCraft isn't a classroom, bible study, ..., ...

It's a business with customers, and one should try to let the customers have their way as much as reasonably possible. Is prohibiting someone talking about Greek Mythology (just an example) worth limiting your customer? Is stopping some brief history discussion worth hassling your customers over, especially if nobody gets hurt?

Quite frankly, though, it's their server and they can do what they wish with it, they do the work. However banning is literally the most destructive punitive action to use, because it removes customers.

 

On a serious note;

Both sides are not correct.

There is no need for blatant and obtuse language/topics, however there is also no need for micro-moderating every small thing. Controversial shouldn't be the litmus test for inappropriateness. You really just need to utilize common sense, it's really that easy. I did it, so I really know, using simple common sense is super easy.

 

I'm not suggesting that we allow "ridiculously rude and inappropriate" comments on the server; stop using strawman fallacies.

However, the chat rules need to be relaxed to some degree. One can't even carry on ANY conversation with real-life significance in shout, whether that be politics, religion, current events, history, cultural awareness (yes, I was told by a staff member that this isn't the classroom, and Meep isn't the place to discuss ancient Greek mythology). Chat has become completely dead, and only a place to make trite comments (0mg 1 was m1n1ng and 1337 15 daimends) or ask questions. I seriously cannot see how players can have decent conversations in shout anymore.

 

nhjed if you want to be taken seriously then I suggest you make a private conversation with the person who banned you or a higher staff member. Obviously you're not going to get answers from the entire meep community, that's why it's getting "derailed". I've had people message me about bans in the past and we've had civil conversations and resolved the misunderstanding. hope that helps!

@Jwarian @Fuzzlr

My question still hasn't been answered, and this isn't even half of the issue being explained.

Sometimes I wonder if you ever read what I said.

Why was I BANNED over the other person? Is it because I'm nhjed? Staff were on while this person said that, actively chatting in shout actually. But no, they didn't get banned.

I had no intentions of being innapropriate, and saying "I'll pop your mom" means nothing really.

The fact everybody is derailing this thread is dumb, and you should stop because none of you are getting the point

 

I love the server, but toxicity is a huge problem. sarcasm alone can be degrading and condescending. sarcasm is easy to detect when talking to someone in person, but it's hard to tell when it's text over the internet.

 

We need more anime in politics.

 

Nothing sexual about North Koreans. Tisk tisk.

 

That's sexual

....

I think?

 

Sometimes, staff do overthink the things we say...
Once I said that I was inhaling nail polish, sharpie fumes, and smoke at the same time. Staff told me in /msg to stop... they thought I was referencing suicide.
I guess I understand the misinterpretation, but really? I told the staff what was really happening: I was painting my nails, and while they were drying, I was drawing a picture with a sharpie, and then I opened my window to let out the fumes, but the smoke of somebody else's burn pile came in through the window. The staff replied to my reasoning with "Yeah. Sure."
