Hi everyone!
After a lot of discussion lately, we as a community have decided to make some rule changes to the section. We feel that some games/threads often devolved into flame wars, and that the section as whole can be sometimes viewed as toxic. Going forward, we all feel it’s better for the section as whole to put in a stronger flaming policy. While we understand this can be a big change to some, as a certain style of play was adapted in the past, we really do feel that this is for the long-term best.
I myself have made some efforts towards achieving a healthier play group and will continue to do so. We have also gotten a lot of positive feedback in the discord discussing these changes in attitude, and it does appear everyone is on board to continue growing the section in a positive way. So, thank you for everyone for being open and honest when discussing it.
From now on, we will not tolerate personal flaming. There really is no reason for personal attacks that are not game related, regardless how heated the game gets. If you are too angry and want to resort to personal insults, I strongly suggest taking 10 minutes away from the screen. Obviously, games will still have bite, and anger/arguments that are game related are encouraged. But we can obviously do this without insulting each other. If we are to grow the section, we do need to all try together!
Thanks everyone!
