  • When replying to a topic, don't; unless you have something meaningful to say or something that will contribute to the discussion. Posts such as "Yes", "I agree", "LOL", "When will it be dumped?" or "When will it be translated?"; and nothing but images/emoticons or internet memes are useless and are wasteful on the servers. This is not GameFAQs or 4chan!

So we are that poor to where we limit the free speech in order to keep the servers alive, damn that’s sad. Don’t worry, gentlemen, I’ll make sure to bring a hundred thousand users by the end of the year

And also that bruh was the same as the “LOL” because I’m in disbelief this is real and the skull emoji literally means dying of laughter in todays society

If you want freedom of speech, don't sign up to a moderated forum

Cran, I do not want you to fall under the same fate that other memorable users are on. Youre a pretty awesome user, and I dont want for you to potentially gwt kicked for discussing about mod actions. Besides, having more than one word to say will always get other people to see what you got to say, aonething that I always have to live by.

The only thing I am a bit confused for is why users cannot discuss about mod actions publicly. If a mod were to theoretically do an action that would be unnessasary, how would you-- wait nevermimd. There's other alternatives to that.

That’s literally China, mate

I will literally be the CEO of Google if it means I will grant free speech in this site

I don't know if you're joking or not, but joking or not, please don't mess around with the mods. The mods have these rules for a reason and should you not follow them, can lead to consequences. i'm sure that by tomorrow, you'll forget about this and everything should be fine and everything. (Especially in DMs where you just posting dots. I can't read morse code, y'know!)

In my humble opinion rules should be enforced in order to get a desired result that benefits the community, not to be enforced simply because they're rules.

Rules like DinohScene mentioned makes sense to exist because it gives quality control. But to enforce them on literal terms all the time makes for a less socially interesting place. For example:

  • One worded replies can express an opinion efficiently and also achieve extra humorous effect
  • Single-image reply memes can also be comical and relevant to the discussion with proper timing
  • EoF-like posts can add a much appreciated comic relief to a thread otherwise littered by bad posts disguised as something that matters
