So, no one has a right to complain about the content in chat, because at ONE TIME OR ANOTHER everyone has participated? You know what I never thought I had to explain? It's frequency. Make dumb, immature joke every once in awhile, sure. Who gives a shit? It doesn't kill anybody. When it keeps happening over and over and over and over and over again, when it's not a joke and it's the whole conversation. . .that's different. Gramm and Dinkleberg commented recently that our rules feel like they're made for 60-year-olds (Dinkleberg said it, Gramm supported, just in case anyone wants to split hairs).

That's not true. They're made for 12-year-olds who can't stop giggling at oh-so-naughty things or thinking they're cool because they talk about jerking off on the internet. It's when people don't stop and everybody's doing it that it becomes a problem. That's how it gets ruined for everybody.

But the admins have no right to complain or try to control it. Alright, I think I should make clear what I really mean with my though right there (sorry for the late response btw).

When I said the chat rules are made for 60 year old people, it's obviously an exaggeration. By the way the rules are, I can deal with them, but some people can't. 

The chat is composed mostly by teenagers and young adults, and even if you're the most polite person in the world, you will eventually say something wrong and get banned, and there's the point I was actually thinking about. I think banning a person without thinking about it is not fair, especially if it's not a 12 year old rebel.

However, it's fair banning a rebel if he already was before and didn't stop being one. These kind of people are the ones who bring us headaches.

These rebels will never be satisfied with the rules, in the way they are now. That's why I though making them less strict could be a solution, as well a way to give us a break.

Overall, it's nobody's fault for drama in the chat. I never saw a chat where nobody would sound depressive or childish at least once. So, if we keep the chat here again, we will have to deal with it and move on.

Thank you very much if you read this entire reply.
