And y'all wanted a community thread to openly discuss things politely huh
The problem with the internet at large is that almost no one calls people on their bullshit. There are more than a handful of people in this thread who rightly do need to be called on their bullshit and either warned/banned.
Calling out any issue you have with moderation is frowned upon by almost all mods and even paraded around like some beacon of nobility that we can't talk about issues in the public view. This thread is an example of this.
Shutting down any previous Etika threads because of some words that were taken solely at face value is problematic at the very least and a window into how hypocritical the entire moderation process is. It's not just this forum.
I don't care who they are and even if they run/pay for this website. Every mod who is a shitheel should be called out publicly. There is no reason to hide decisions from the public other than they don't want anyone to question their absolute authority. It's how dictators and regimes get started. This very forum was created because of the hypocrisy of GAF and it's admins, mods, and owner. If you can't see any parallel in this topic, then you don't want to see it. Mods on here are hypocritical when it comes to religion, mental health, obesity, and probably a few others that I'm forgetting.
This is sad outcome and perhaps, JUST MAYBE, this wouldn't have happened if enough people read the actual topics in the previous threads and tried or at least offered help instead of shutting down any discussion that could have led to him surviving this ordeal and becoming a spokesperson for streamers with mental issues to either seek help or at least talk about it openly on their preferred medium/media of choice.
We will never know if any of that would've changed what happened, because no one gave it much of a chance. They just shut it down because of reasons that few people really know (if any).
