Thanks for the reply Goat. I would like to apologize if I offended any staff, I appreciate that a lot is being done to strengthen the community as it is. As for what could be done about the lack of respect, I think that's a difficult question, because requires either stricter rules, which I think we should try to avoid, or for Toribash users themselves to reconsider their behavior on their own. I think that in many communities online the freedom they allow can be both a blessing and a curse, it's easy to forget that it's another human being on your screen, and say something without really thinking much first. I myself have said things that I'm not proud of, so I don't want to suggest that it makes someone a bad person by any means.

I do think that it would be beneficial if we all took more time to discuss what kind of place we want the Toribash community to be, I made this thread because I wanted to better understand the thought process behind the type of behavior I've described. And I really want to be able to call Toribash home, but it's becoming too hard on my mental health to keep playing. I know we can all do better than this if we try.
