I'm surprised this is on General Forums quite frankly, but hey, the admin started it and he posted it here, so here it shall be.
I should like to point out that the issue isn't about firing admins and mods or whatever personal gripe white shield has against the world. It's about protecting minors from people who are trying to groom them, as well as ensuring that women and men can use chat without it being a hell hole of doxxing and nudes.
I mean, this site (and others) has always had a struggle trying to stop older users abusing minors, it's not like this is a new issue, the problem is that at the moment, the rules seems to be slanted to protect those who are preying on those who know no better (regardless of whatever sexual knowledge a 13 year old may have, I don't think they're quite ready for an onslaught of 55 year-old erect penis, you know?).
The cover-our ass mentality of chat is that the screenshots could be faked so we can't do anything about it, because it could be someone trying to destroy a chatter, or hey, if you don't like a 55 year old talking about how he'd like to have anal sex with you, just ignore him. So, the rules the mods have to follow say that you have to send them an unedited version of whatever unsightly thing someoine said or showed to you in the room, yet even if you do that, they say it could be fake.
I mean, yes, if a mod decides to follow the rules and kick and protect people from those who want to harm them, they'll be fired within a week, and people who mod do so because they want to help the rooms and the ******** who are there to have a normal conversation (at least, they did). So I understand why this whole issue is frustrating for them, because if you get fired you can't do anything, and if you do try to help without mod status you get accused of being a mini-modding troll who is bitter they've been fired (which is a very adult and serious thing for an admin to type about an issue).
This whole issue shows a far wider problem of enabling the dangerous behaviour of some ******** with no care of the effect it may have on those they choose to abuse.
