The Fundamental Problem
Ethan
With this website, community, and its future growth plans are that there are people on here who are allowed to exist within, while being huge deterrents and detractors. This site is no different than tengaged in that aspect it just has a shinier coat of paint. People like frostbite and benopolis who time and time again have done things to be hurtful and antagonize others and get not much more than a slap on the wrist. There needs to be a harsher punishment system for individuals like this with a continued history of abuse, doxxing, stalking, and threatening others on this site and the previous. Sin what do you think is going to happen when you push ads out to the world, we get a few newcomers who maybe have never been in this type of online community before, and the first thing they see is Ben threatening someone’s life AGAIN. Allowing this sort of behavior as just a temporary ban rather than a permanent one will only continue the cycle. There are many people on here that are like this more than I’ve mentioned, but for obvious reasons those are the prime suspects. At the end of the day this website with its current user base is admittedly doing quite well, but I’m certain that as new users enter, especially ones who aren’t used to this, there will be more and more glaring problems. If the precedent starts now that behavior like that, no matter who it is or why, is unacceptable then that will be how this site continues. Should it stay as it is then the only clear vision is the same toxic, unhealthy, and unwelcoming environment that tengaged was. Sin, I know you don’t want to engage with this type of situation as you’ve stated before and with the addition of more mods, however this is something that only you have the power to stop. The sooner you make this website safer for the majority of users, the better the future outcome will be.
