okay well then if we’re throwing out the idea of the senior council which was met with understandable backlash lets raise my issues with this thread

one megathread for every issue that happens is a guaranteed clusterfuck (as evident)

muting people for having issues with said thread is unprofessional and defeats the idea of a thread where people can discuss issues they have with the lobby and the people in it

you seem to think that this thread is going to solve a lot of the issues sandbox has when in reality the things that happen are all up to alyssa, not anyone appointed by you or anyone else

this thread is unnecessary and the “senior council” was even more so. they exist purely to stir up drama, not to actually discuss problems.

there are absolutely issues that we as a lobby should talk about, but theres no reason they cant stay in their own topics, on discord, or on lobby wall.

if you have an issue with the lobby, talk to alyssa about it. leave handling problems to the people who hold the position to.

You're right, its not bullying. What is bullying is calling people out, and leading a lynch mob against them in-games when you could have very easily kicked them to begin with. If kicking isn't an option, then perhaps ask them to leave and/or create a new game, or sit that game out and wait for the next. You shouldn't ever have to be in contact with people that make you uncomfortable, but you also shouldn't antagonize the situation either, which is what both you and Vivian did in games with Phlorax on his kazo account.

And yes, stealing personal info should be a perma-ban imo, too. I don't like that there's people running around here, spending there time digging for personal info on users.

i'll try and break this down more easily for you.

being kicked and banned from games isn't bullying

being lynched isn't bullying

if you do something bad and don't get banned, you can thoroughly expect backlash and/or to get driven off the site

not getting banned/getting a vio does not wipe the slate clean, neither does an apology

being popular should have no effect on whether or not you deserve what is rightfully deserved(but it does)

stealing personal information should be bannable

Plain and simple: If you want to discuss issues here, great. If not, then keep it moving. I'm not a punching bag.

It literally says Community. You are all still hung up on the "other" councils. If I could change the Title, I would, but I can't and people have already brought up good points here. If all you're worried about is a title, then you aren't here for the right reasons to begin with.

but then just make a thread about the topic

theres no reason for a council when the council has absolutely no say over what happens

he isnt wrong though

backseat modding is only going to cause more problems.

you can make as many “councils” with whoever you want, but the fact of the matter is they mean absolutely nothing because the final decisions on what happen in this lobby are alyssas and the site mods.


Agreed, but its a nice area to have to bring things up that people may want to talk about. If mods see it, great, if they don't oh well.

very serious council thread leader can't win arguments and mutes people that disagree with her LOL


SirAmelio has contributed nothing to any discussion. He doesn't want there to be a thread at all because he thinks its stupid.

Once again, the point of this thread is to discuss community issues that are affecting the community. It is not a thread to yell about how you think councils are stupid, or that I've only created it in retaliation of users bullying Phlorax.

If you don't like it, you don't have to post anything. It is 100% voluntary.

When you guys decide you want to actually contribute, instead of attack me for creating a community forum, you can let me know. Until then, you can be muted.

y'all taking councils seriously do realize theres literally an owner and mod team making the calls and if they wanted to know the community's opinion they can ask?

So yeah stop it. If you are serious about wanting to help the community, talk to Alyssa and ask her for a mod position. Otherwise they are not needed and nobody asked for them


Silence, heathen.


good refute


Not going to debate with you when you only posted that in this forum, and the lobby wall. (:

Stop being so defensive, I'm literally asking questions to keep the topic going and get to the depths of your suggestions for rule changes.


what am i being defensive of? you're the one who made it sound like 'oh well if its a popular user you probably want them to stay right? checkmate' in your previous question. there's nothing to defend against you, if anything you're trying to defend phlorax the ip stealer

and bannable offenses are never going to be implemented by some words i say


You are very incapable of holding a conversation without getting offended or feeling attacked. It's okay though, thank you for your input.

dzke says

phlorax shouldve been banned but he wasnt, and he should thoroughly expect backlash for what he did


Ok, so you believe IP hacking/hidden linking should be punishable with a permaban, even if its a first-time offender? What if someone like user baabaa, a well-known, beloved user, hidden linked you to obtain your IP address. Should user baabaa be perma-banned?

What other crimes against the community do you think should result in a perma-ban?


are you expecting me to be like oH nO nOt emMA anYoNE buUt HeR oH nOoooOoooooOoOOo

but absolutely! if emma did that she should be permabanned too! stealing someone's ip shows that you're scum! its not like phlorax was some nobody; he's been in sandbox for awhile, but yeah, popular, unpopular, or whatever, you deserve to be banned

and i think you can rationalize what some bannable offenses should be, it really shouldn't be hard to decide that some things are unforgiveable


Stop being so defensive, I'm literally asking questions to keep the topic going and get to the depths of your suggestions for rule changes.
