To be clear, not talking about this community, obviously 😛.

What’s the point of writing down rules, if mods just do what they want? But I suppose that’s the risk you take when you call someone a liar in a small community; they might be a mod.

Edit: I’m not trying to say that mods suck, they perform a useful and often thankless job. Just that it can be difficult for small communities to get a healthy number of good mods, which can become a problem.

          while I absolutely agree with you in a private setting, in a public setting I believe it does more harm than good to provide a platform for people to preach hate.

                  I disagree. Saying certain things are hate crimes, and shouldn’t be allowed. Like burning crosses, etc.

                  Deciding where to draw the line is difficult and subjective, but that doesn’t mean that it’s best to have no line.
