Don't try to pretend that you weren't mocking the staff and were trying to get bushi to stop.

 I didn't try to start an arguement nor was I apart of it. I just tried to tell people
 to calm down and Eiki was acting like a dick so I called him that.
 Also, I don't fear being muted I just think that it's severely unfair how the staff/admin
 use it. They'll mute anybody when they feel like it.

I didn't really mean that directed at you personally, I was just addressing the forum as a whole for how I feel about chat etiquette. The cycle of fighting always ends up repeating itself eventually, and it can only be stopped by ourselves as individuals if we change our habits.

Most fighting/arguing ends up with disagreements in the public chat, which is fine - as long as it's civil. When you start making personal attacks and calling someone out, or purposely try to start a fight, nobody likes to see that in #general (or any public discussion, for that matter) - it makes things awkward for everyone else just wanting to casually talk. I make it a point that when an argument gets out of hand, to either bring it to PM before things get out of hand and have to be moderated.

That said, I also agree with what you said before:

And for what Bushi replied to the "newbie" - surprise, Eiki's right. If you dislike being in Discord or think you're being "discriminated" against, why be there in the first place? This would have been easier to solve if brought to the attention of staff themselves.

@[deleted], I'm sorry you got muted, and I'm also sorry that you think everyone "circlejerks" with the staff and that you think can't argue with us. We try to do moderate things fairly enough as it is, but the chat is run by you guys, the community. All we do is make sure things are civil.

No you said
if you're going to be a dick, you'll be muted
and/or banned.
And you muted him, which means he was, in your own words, being a dick.

Thanks for the rules btw. Calling someone a dick falls under hate speech or something idk, so cloudies mute is kinda justified even though I still think it's a bit of an overreaction.

Calling someone a dick isn't hate speech, but it's pretty uncalled for. Just show respect and people will do the same.

was I just banned from Discord?

It was an overreaction. Also he shouldn't be provoking anybody either.

Based on Senpai's screenshots I wouldn't really say he was provoking. Based on his first response he seemed annoyed that you guys were circlejerking in a cesspool of bitching and whining about staff. Don't really blame him, I don't enjoy talking where other people shit.

@"loli", you've got it spot on. I was pretty pissed off when I got back from being afk for a while to see both bushi and cloudy bitching about the staff. thus they were muted until I had the chance to un-mute them
