FIrst, I need to thank Nults for finally coming to the off-topic board after his breakdown last night in chat. All too often.

You all can thank my BNO roots for even giving you the right to protest. If you remember back to the days of 2012, those who created blogs or whined about things were punished. Here, we celebrate freedom of speech and it should be held sacrosanct. Everyone here is now thankful for the battle we fought on the peoples behalf, through all of the cynicism and doubt, to guarantee the right to protest. We love the BNO!

And yes, we did tell you to take your reservations out on here because you began showing the signs of the old 2013 you, the one you promised not to bring back if I promoted you. Raging in chat and PM =/ professionalism.

In regards to the request:

" Youtube comments are VERY unmoderated and break our ToU/Wiki policy" fake news, pls explain how it violates the ToU.

First they tried loosening the restrictions to "encourage new players to come" so we don't just kick them right away. And now they want a total crackdown of the old days. I am not swayed by your politics nor your childish bickering. I see through the facade. I was going to post some screenshots of the staff chat so we can show everyone what we were discussing but unfortunately, Gold timers used the N and F words every other line which has complicated such efforts:

Regardless, the gist of it is:

So, all in all, I agree that clearly people are not ready for swearing and the link thing should probably be removed. After all, thats the point of this forum (this forum, not chat), to voice displeasure and to fix disparities between staff and users. So, in response to Goldtimbers comment of "Youtube comments basically undermine every single rule we have in place to protect our users. To let this loophole slip by a 1ASA only displays our President's disregard for the thought of our users," I would argue that this very forum is proof of no such disregard.

I'd like to end my post with reminding everyone that raging in chat is punishable.

God Bless America
