quite literally I am the one saying not ban her. I’m not sure what you are trying to ask me
It’s not some tyranny thing. She is bordering on spam. I am opposed to it. Others want it. So instead of being authoritative as you say. We are letting the community decide. If I wanted to be a dick, I’d just blanket decide and do what I wanted because I can. If you don’t like the rules then vote on the next survey in a few months that determine the tos. For now, we are putting it in the hands of the community since it’s a grey area.
As you all have seen. Debby has been banned in the past for AI spam. Instead of coming to a hard decision on what to do about this as it has not stopped, we have decided to let the community decide. Please vote on the survey that will be attached below. Savant has presented a portion for why he thinks she should be banned. I have presented a portion for why she should not. Please vote on your opinion and not who presented the best case. Use the discussion between us to vote for a ban or leave her on the site.

thank you for the feedback!. We always keep this in mind as we update this constantly.
We are actually planning live debates on the YT channel. It's a work in progress but it's getting there

Forum Perms Revoked for a Day
Reason - Spam
David, Whiteflame and myself discussed this. David was for a 3 day removal of perms or ban for spam. I was for no action. WF reviewed as head mod and decided for a middle ground of 1 day removal of perms.
logic being the consistent spam in all threads that were derailing topics and not being topical and the sheer volume of posts in a short time.
forum ban is removed 24 hours from this post.
Edit - we are discussing what constitutes as spam for future situations to see if this is necessary or if we let it ride.

If we have a screenshot from ddo and dart we are taking the records of both of the sites and offering to count the wins.
it will go against the current elo system we have though
i believe savant is still working on it but yes. A post should be able to be marked offensive by mods if we don’t want people to see it, or by yourself if you don’t want to see it. A large portion of this still is in alpha so we are still adjusting
offensive will be based off the coc poll results which largely seems to be racial slurs not used to attack a member (that is a warning and a ban), certain taboo topics, etc.
it’s a middle ground for not just removing posts outright or warning or banning people. You can opt in to what you see but yes we largely dictate what is considered offensive with feedback from the poll
in theory we should mark a post as offensive and it blocks it and you have the option to remove it
post here
This will have it’s on own hall of fame to clarify but there will be hof history on the on the hof thread
Hall of fame will carry over from both ddo and dart
we will carry over to here as well

Now that we have moderation up. Please take this survey. Private message me in discord or message me on here the 6 letter code so we can confirm it’s you.
I’m that guy. 15+ years active with the community, older, somehow still have hair, gym addict, boba enjoyer, coffee addict, anime enthusiast, and video game lover, also RMs arch nemesis. Hoping we make this site last forever and send it to the stars. I report to the guy that posted above me.
We will all have moderator powers, its just a hierarchy. Everyone will contribute to site direction and goals but almost all of savants time is coding. He is however still engaging constantly in the direction. Mods will just look at the day to day enforcement stuff while the entire team will help come up with the rules and path forward.

Thank you all for participating and helping us trouble shoot the site. It’s a work in progress, but again a massive thank you to savant for all his hard work.
In the upcoming weeks, we will have a road map for what features are being focused on and what the direction will be going forward. Very hopeful and looking forward to optimizing this and seeing it be see successful.
