So people are often toxic to me as I state unpopular opinions or facts. Example A: Person commenting, saying extremely toxic things. So I commented and said he sounds 12, and somebody asked who would say that (in response to the toxic person) I commented that it must be an edgy teen. Both got deleted yet his comment seems to have stayed? Laughing fish deleted both comments. Like answer me how much of a JOKE it is to be all high and mighty " Haha, no free speech here" Meanwhile ignoring toxic commenters who post transphobic, homophobic, racist or anything else toxic,

Hey,

I'm sorry you feel that way. I fully understand that when people are being toxic it is hard not to be toxic back, and I most certainly sympathize with that. However, every poster is accountable for their own posts and their posts alone. Whether anyone else is being insulting or not is irrelevant to whether you are. If you see someone being insulting, by far your best course of action is to report them and let us deal with it. If you insult them back, it still counts as harassment, and we will be forced to treat it as such.

As for why other posts get left up: We cannot read everything that is ever posted on the boards. There is a lot of users and a lot of content, and we are only humans (and volunteers at that). However, if you report a post, we will see it. It may take us a little while to get to it if we are busy, or if nobody is available at that time. But we see every single report, and will get to it and make a judgement on it eventually. We do not want trans-phobic, homophobic, racist, or otherwise toxic comments on the boards anymore then you do, so please if you ever see anything like that, don't assume we saw it. Always report it.

If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to respond to this comment, or come talk to me or any other moderator on the Boards Moderation Discord
