    There is just as much responsibility on the speaker to be clear as there is on the listener to understand.

    That's the unfortunate side effect of using text to communicate with others. Tone, meaning, and conversation direction will become skewed based on how each individual reader decides to interpret the words displayed before them.

    The gaming community is still racist I have found in my own experience, although I'd say it is 10 times more subtle with it.

    Moving a community over to another platform is never an easy transition. My gaming guild did this(100+ people), moving from Discord over to a new platform called Guilded, which recently received 7 million in funding! You're always going to get a push back from your community, and it will definitely neuter a lot of potential newcomers and traffic for a while. A dedicated community built surrounding itself and it's interest/hobby will always prevail through a push back, as long as you have that internal support. I wish your transition the best of luck!

    I think it's exactly that. You get what you put into the game, it doesn't feed you excitement from my understanding with the first area. I'll start it up again, it's been many months.

    I have bought the game, and have not found the mental energy to go through it yet. I understand it's a great game, from word of mouth and reviews; yet I struggle to leave the first area. It's weird. Like, I enjoyed the 2 hours I've had with it... I just can't find myself to start the game up. Weird.

    I was under the impression that this was your username, not your real name. I've met people on here called ducks for instance. Obviously if I were to ever meet you in person I would refer to you...

    In my culture, addressing someone by their surname to their face is impersonal and sometimes rude ("Mr Asimov" would be respectful, but just "Asimov" is rude in my culture). You wouldn't call me "Asimov" to my face

    I was under the impression that this was your username, not your real name. I've met people on here called ducks for instance. Obviously if I were to ever meet you in person I would refer to you as either of what you've already mentioned. Nevertheless this is the internet, if you have an issue with people referring to you as "Asimov" online, I would suggest picking a username that wouldn't offend you when referred to it. I hold no ill will towards you Algernon, have a great day/night. I look forward to the next time we chat

    You've obviously never been a moderator on Reddit! :)

    I can't think of any negatives that would occur if we did notify the user that their post was removed.

    I agree with this 100%. Someone can just grind themselves into a position where they can ban a user they don't like.

    I feel like that promotion system (reputation that is automatically gained) can be taken advantage of and abused by someone with bad intentions.

    I agree with this 100%. Someone can just grind themselves into a position where they can ban a user they don't like.

    Accessibility plays a huge role in it. You can find literally hundreds of subreddits dedicated to very specific porn actresses, fetishes, roleplay and meetups. I've spent enough time on 4chan to know that its UI can't compete with ease as Reddit does. I can't speak for Voat or 8chan though, but I'm assuming it's pretty close to what I've mentioned, as I really have never come across someone recommending to another that those sites are "where its at", so to speak.

    This place really doesn't need to have porn. I just want a place to discuss random topics

    Exactly. When/if this site grows, and more user-created groups are made, there will definitely be porn dedicated ones, whether it's allowed or not, people will try to get it in here. I don't necessarily have an issue with that(power to the people), I just don't come to this site looking forward to seeing a pair of triple D breasts launch across my monitor straight into my face.

    For this website to manifest itself into a more serious, matured version of Reddit. I'd like this place to be somewhere where I'm encouraged to engage in discussion, and for it to help me with my writing. I need a hobby so hopefully I can start like a Youtube channel discussing this platform or make video content for here.

    Yes you are correct. Now that I am reviewing my comment I can see the flaw in my statement. @Deimos had mentioned giving users a "trust" score/rating, and maybe he could implement that in a way to benefit self-promoters and hopefully, ourselves.

    What's a good way to show ourselves to the community and admins that we're responsible enough to qualify/apply to be moderators(if you have that in mind)?
