All jokes aside, if the moderating team was as power-hungry, which we're not, we would not have better defined the rules publically and been transparent about anything.

Honestly, I can understand change for people is not easy. I also understand that not all communities are the same. There are some, where the mods are heavy-handed with everything and everyone. And a limited, short-lived few where anarchy rains until the admins shut those down.

Well, we are most certainly not anarchists here, but we also have no plans on instituting a police state either.

Define respectfully and politely. -- Think PG-13.

Yes, sometimes it's OK to talk like an adult and cuss a little within reason.

Example:

  • The new menu at my local restaurant fucking sucks. -- That's fine.
  • John, go fuck yourself, you are a fucking tool. -- Not fine.

Obviously, things will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

What the heck is "sea-lioning"?

Nvm. It's like the brother of the gish gallop. Instead of giving an overwhelming number of arguments, they overwhelm you with requests for debate and "evidence".
