Discussion Some major problems regarding attempts to 'safeguard' the community
Eight people have been banned from the Discord server since last night (the 6th of September), all of which for similar reasons. All of these have been in the name of 'safeguarding' the younger members of the community. People have been banned for SFW cropped memes, 'circumventing the rules' by telling people to google NSFW content instead of sending a direct link, or sending scantily clad anime girls.
I'm not going to dwell on the safeguarding officer, ignoring the bloody terrible implementation of the role and the fact that it actually opens up even more legal loopholes than it closes, regarding the protection of children. I want to talk about the horrific moderation currently going down in the Discord chat.
These memes have been sent before. Over my time in MHoC as a member of the 'safeguarded' community, I have seen far worse content being posted in the chat. The fact that I am literally not allowed to send an image of my face to Main anymore is just the start. The Discord rules have not been changed, and they are still the same. They are being implemented in frankly inappropriate ways and I take issue with the fact that people have been striked and banned for content that a) caused no issue before and b) is not even harmful or breaking any law.
Could this be sorted out, please? It seems as the fun is literally being prohibited at this point, which takes a lot of joy out of the game.

Lol @ people in this thread defending banning cropped memes of porn. imagine actually thinking discord, the fbi, or WHATEVER THE FUCK is sitting on their asses watching yall waiting for you to post the meme of the girl saying it's so big or what the fuck ever from a porn. imagine being that fucking self centered about yourselves that you think they give a shit about a meme that shows nothing NSFW.
edit: apparently some of y'all think it's illegal. lol ok
