Current thought: "Ow, ow, ow." (this is why I'm awake at 3am weee! lol) 😣 I'm still thankful though! :) Happy Thanksgiving all! 🥰
 
Just barely signed in right now to see that I had received 2 more warning points for simply saying yesterday that I noticed that someone (without actually stating their name) had blocked me/put me on ignore (all of a sudden I'm the "rude" one?).

Alrighty then.

Even if you aren’t calling out their names, the fact you’re referring to a specific person is no different to calling them out. But on the flip side, even I can agree that the staff have gotten meaner since ACNH came out. I have multiple evidence proving this point, but I already said it so many times, so I wouldn’t state it.

I thought it was alright referring to someone just as long as you didn't say their actual username. I completely believe you. I've been here for less than two months, and even I already get a strong, intuitive feeling that the moderation here has gotten much more "aggressive" than it maybe was in the past (that's actually also the case with multiple other websites I've used for longer; In the beginning, moderation and rules used to be more "understanding" and less strict, now you can get in trouble for the slightest thing).

This kind of excessive moderation hasn't ever sat well with me though. If I keep on getting banned/receiving warnings for nearly every little thing that I do here, then I don't foresee myself continuing to use this forum any further (I can imagine others doing the same).

EDIT: I wonder if talking about the mods here is also against the rules (wouldn't be surprised if it was). If so, then expect for this comment to be entirely wiped out.

It’s okay to disagree with the staff or say that TBT is a dictatorship (even though it isn’t), but even criticizing the mods have its limits. To say that they have gotten stricter is one thing, but to outright insult them like “can’t they do anything right?” or “they are immature teenagers” is very disrespectful, and that would warrant another warning or infraction. The way you’re criticizing them is fine. Just don’t get too extreme or rude about it.

The other thing about talking about the moderators that you should avoid is singling out an entire moderator when talking about them negatively (including accusations). Even if they aren’t as sensitive as regular members, they still count as members, and to single out an entire moderator when complaining about them is no different than doing it to any other member. Now if you are going to talk about them in a positive light (like “this admin has good hair” or “this moderator makes great pillows”), that’s when you can single them out as you talk about them. It’s all about context.
 
Turkey day hits a snag as I’m now 40 minutes into trying to find an oyster for Franklin. I cringed as soon as he asked for one, I don’t remember the last time I found an oyster hahah. On the bright side I FINALLY found a sea pig while I was looking!
 
Oh no, looks like I’ve missed both Turkey Day in NH and am going to miss the event on TBT as well... oh well. :I
 
like dude you're in a relationship with my best friend, giving me advice about being single? bye.
