That chat is always just going to low-ball offensive shit if you like it or not. Banning users for stuff like "ded baby LOL" only grows resentment of the administration. Expecting good behavior from the chat is pretty much a futile attempt and you that Callie. Day bans for shit like this won't solve anything, but lead into conflicts between users and mods. Boy, doesn't this sound familiar again. We're the Creepypasta Wiki, not the Politically Correct Wiki. Would you ban someone for saying "ded baby LOL"? That's simply a silly statement. It's a stupid statement, no less, but it's silly. It's not political correctness that I'm after: it's expecting users to be smart and use their heads.

I'm talking:

"Hey what's the difference between a watermelon and a baby? One's fun to smash with a sledgehammer and one is just a watermelon."

Do you see how that's not appropriate? It's not just a joke in bad taste, it's a desperate attempt at shock humor that at best causes a yawn and sparks massive drama at worst.

But I suppose you and Guy both have a point. I suppose I was appealing to the maturity shown in the trial on SP hoping that it would get somewhere in the aves of common sense. Honestly, I have now stopped giving a shit. I should've known the chat wouldn't keep to that the moment I put up this thread. Regardless, might as well try to do something about the problems at hand. Otherwise, we aren't getting anyone anywhere.
