I see where you're coming from and initially I leaned more toward a "strongly discourage but maybe not outright ban" stance because I had some of the same fears (mostly I was worried about the potential of someone feeling bad if they were accused of using AI art when it was actually art made by...

The reasoning for the original one week ban was provided to seliph for "rude behavior", but so far in this thread staff have only come in to say that the ban wasn't provided due to an issue with seliph's tone, and many of us who have read the ban message are struggling to see how they arrived at...

Oblivia, I'm so sorry you received that message, and I'm sorry to staff as a whole for having to read the other unacceptable messages you've been getting over the past few weeks. That's absolutely sickening and to send something like that in the name of another user is abhorrent. We are all...

Hey Bug, I just wanted to say I really respect this. Personally speaking it was a bit frustrating to read some of the earlier posts in this thread that felt dismissive or ignorant, so it's nice to see someone come in here with an apology and a desire to understand people's concerns. I hope you...

could you link to what you're referring to? specifically the claim that someone was saying certain people don't belong in the thread and the claim that chris is mentally unfit. I did do a quick search and couldn't find anyone saying those things, but I apologize if I missed it. I think it'd be...

on the topic of feedback, I would like to suggest there be some sort of rule against normalizing or positively discussing large age gap relationships (I'm mainly referring to 16-18 year olds with much older individuals since in many jurisdictions I think that's something of a grey area and...

because you said this that reads to me like you were speaking in a general sense. if that isn't the case I apologize, but the point still stands even if we're only talking about age gap relationships. a teenager being with a much older adult is a dynamic that should very much be judged for the...

you don't need to be directly in a relationship to see that it's harmful. if a 16, 17, or yes in many cases even 18 year old is in a relationship with a 40 year old, that's inappropriate. if someone is physically or emotionally abusive to their partner, that's harmful. if the loved ones of a...

one more note and then I'll go to bed for real so I'm sorry for the brevity, but I just wanna reiterate that there are also people who aren't comfortable speaking up in this thread because they've seen concerns dismissed and called hostile and aggressive. I'd hope everyone who wants to say...

I might respond more in-depth tomorrow since I'm supposed to be sleeping, but to quickly reply since I appreciate the explanation-- I feel as though a lot of context is being missed here. firstly, you mentioned the "consenting adults" example in your original post as well, and I am glad that...

since there seems to be such a big divide here on whether certain posts were too aggressive/mean, and those accusations seem to mostly be coming from one side, I wanna be honest and say that I found some of the dismissiveness in this thread quite hurtful to read. people have come in here to...

iirc rosetti was also told her post would receive a response, and there's still been no clarification about the banned user... I understand we were told that clarification wouldn't be posted here publicly, but is there a timeline for when they can expect to receive that?

I'm having a lot of fun with it! it feels much sturdier than the first and the screen looks great. I haven't had a chance to use the mouse feature on a flat surface but it works surprisingly well on my lap or bed, it'll be interesting to see if it's utilized in games like Splatoon in the future...

I just wanna say... I think it's extremely important for people to feel safe around the staff in a community like this. It should be a given even if everyone here was an adult, but with there being young members, the responsibility should really fall on the leaders of the site to make sure it's...

I wanna address the part about Mick's post because it's not the first time I've seen it brought up--the point of bringing up the comment Mick made wasn't to say that he's a bigot who hasn't changed at all over the years, it was to show that bigotry has always been an issue on TBT and there's a...
