I understand that TRR is a place of rejected nations. I understand that the purpose of TRR is to receive people from all parts of NS who are ejected -- from liberal regions, conservative regions, feeders, sinkers, UCRs, people from The Communist Bloc to Nazi Europa, and that’s going to mean we have a chaotic RMB. But it’s extremely frustrating that Moderation cares as to whether or not TRR is tagged as a Catcher but doesn’t care enough about our community to give us the ability to moderate our RMB in any way beyond ineffectually suppressing posts. Suppression has been proven not to work. We’ve been dealing with Ebergar for a month now and he hit his second DEAT last night, but despite this he's kept up his bigotry. Slatos was someone who also was DEATd and is causing problems for us (though less so, admittedly). We’ve had multiple active members of our RMB who were DEATd and still welcomed, so it’s not as though we’re being DEAT-ist or whatever.
If y’all are going to make us have nations in our region that you yourselves deem to be troublemakers (aka Slatos & Ebergar), give us a mute button. We’re a unique type of region compared to all the other regions, but we still have our own community. We still have our own members to look after, and we’re unable to do so when we’re forced to have people in our region who cause problems on our RMB and given zero effective tools to deal with them. It’s redundant for us to be able to have our own WFE, tags, and flag at a certain point if we are unable to foster the community we wish to.
I can’t imagine TRR abusing a mute button. We’re a community that’s allowed in raiders, imperialists, leftists, conservatives, and we just want the ability to keep hatred off our RMB and more specifically the ability to not have legitimately hateful people be able to post covid misinformation, transphobia, sexism, homophobia, anti-semitism, and so many other types of hateful posts around and negatively impacting our community.
Please give us a mute button that can be managed by a Comms RO or at least our delegate. If there needs to be a cap of how many players we can have muted at once such as how there’s a limit of how many players can be banned from a region at once I understand. But we’re unfairly stuck with players we shouldn’t have to be stuck with. They can always go make their own region, but they choose to stick around and continuously make our RMB honestly a horrible place to be. I wanted to go over the RMB to link all the posts here for Moderation that showed exactly what TRR deals with, but the pure quantity of them is too fucking much and in addition to that, we’ve suppressed so many of the posts that I can’t even quick search them.
Fwiw -- This post wasn't done by the government of TRR, but I did get permission to post this from our delegate and gonna be poking rejects over this thread :P
Anyway, cheers.
