The difference is that Tittyman started his forum career being quite low-key and unconfrontational. Obviously people thought let's give him a chance as he was voted to remain. Carr OTH made no such impression, but came guns blazing in a junterlike style straight from the beginning.
Then when Tittyman became more unbearable, peoples' minds changed, and he self-deleted before ultimately being put up for a vote.
15 of us are of the opinion that AW has become unbearable. His contributions have diminished, and his hostile anti-social behaviour has increases. He has been warned several times by the moderators, to no effect.
It's good to have principles and to be consistent, but one cannot be pig-headed about them. If the situation has changed dramatically, it's also healthy to re-evaluate your principles.
Fair enough but I still don’t think anyone should be banned unless there’s a specific thing they did that’s banworthy, not just being an asshole.

AW checks two main major infractions: doxxing and targeted deliberate harrassment.

Doxxing is a serious issue but that was two years ago so let’s not pretend this is about the doxxing. Maybe for 2-3 people but for the vast majority of the people who want him banned is that they don’t like him. And the harassment to me just screams that you can’t not take the bait or ignore/deflect. Just an old dude typing fuck off and die doesn’t seem like anything too terrible.

From a semi-outsider perspective, yeah, it’s very toxic. The overall tone tends to be aggressive, with a lot of insults involved, odd behavior, harassment, and teenage gang attitudes, which quickly made me lost interest in participating.
I guess it’s a pity, because it’s a world forum about a very specific topic, it already has a significant core of users, and it provides a lot of interesting information which I often look through. So it could evolve into a much bigger platform, but it’s somewhat stuck to a bunch of (virtual) acquaintances from CD. And don’t get me wrong, I’ve always had good interchanges other than a couple of baits, and there are some very good posters here. On the other hand, I’ve been involved in a lot of useless virtual controversy for fun too, so it’s not like I will be pontificating about how you should deal with every situation on the internet, and it’s not like I’m scared away for this thing being toxic. It’s just how you judge your own interest towards an activity.
I just say that on my experience from other forums, trying to stop this widespread sh*t is a good idea. It can be something hard to do because rules tend to be generic and many people like testing the boundaries, but more peaceful environments which at first seem to be poorer in terms of participation and interchange, quickly go higher than they were before.

The wild west setup here is our biggest strength and our biggest weakness.

I previously said that we were at level 1, but these days it feels more like a 3/4, up to 5 on occasion.
Kronan wanting to decapitate me for no reason came across as fairly toxic.

Kronan and AW are far and away the biggest sources of toxicity on this forum. AW in particular since he's online so much more frequently.

Nah snowflake, you’re just oversensitive. Hearing that you wanted to be decapitated is totally normal. Totally nothing wrong with it

Yeah you should just learn to ignore this stuff.
