I like to go to FTF tournaments, when I am not banned, and I don't want to make enemies. I think the hypersensitivity has killed public discourse. There are some very vocal proponents of silencing people who may not be whatever they call us, but who just have open minds and think for ourselves. I hate forums now, and actually, this one at Webdip, I mostly avoid because these hypersensitive people are so infuriating to me. They find fault in comments that are not offensive. If I speak out, I am certain to be flamed... so why do it? I don't know how many are like myself. But I bet there are many. You are in a hard spot here. It is a divided world between those who oppose free speech and those who just want to speak. Why would a forum owner placate those who want to oppose free speech? Suppose for instance they were banned from these forums (I am not suggesting you do this), then they might find another forum to speak on, and I bet, they would eat their own, finding someone among themselves who was "offensive." It makes me hate the world.

My position was clear: You're a an outright Nazi, you give up the right to be treated sensibly and without violence. People have the right to kill you because you are a fucking Nazi. Wanna ban me again?

No controversy. What makes a person a Nazi? I ask because it is pretty common these days for people in political discussions to call someone a Nazi. Some left leaning people in the US believe anyone that supports Trump is a Nazi. On some days it is DeSantis who is the Nazi. I moderate my own Politics forum and seen this happen many times. Even if we all agreed on a certain set of extremist opinions that makes someone a Nazi, are you suggesting that that should be enough to sentence that person to death? If yes, I would argue that this very much is a controversial opinion.

I'm kinda squeamish about making certain features paid for.. If it cost us something to provide a feature, like SMS notifications or full-press AI games etc, then I think it's fair to pass the cost on to accounts that pay, but I've always liked how webDip and vDip are free for all. I think perhaps enabling it for users after a certain number of posts etc, or a player's reliability rating, the number of games, etc. I think after a few dozen posts you know whether it's a spambot or not. I'll have a ponder about it, next dev cycle is a few weeks away so there's some time
