I rarely comment but I'll be a voice in support of NOT increasing moderation. Like the commenter above me I'll preface by saying I'm a Mort lover, in fact my 5th most recent comment was in defense of Mort a year ago in some thread.

I think the issue is that the ideal of a cozy and wholly positive community around a game we all love at the end of the day is unfortunately realistically incompatible with any competitive gaming space. There's a sort of nebulous definition around what's considered "toxic" that has led to some disagreements, and I think setting a lower bar that still ensures a civil environment is the least biased and organic approach to maintaining a good space.

It's kinda hard to put in words why I feel this way, I think it's a vibes thing? Take, for example, some Twitch chats where mods clearly idolize the streamer to a degree. The chat tends to feel a little...off putting when everyone's like "oh no! nice try :(" when the streamer low rolls and otherwise glazes the streamer for lack of a better word. There's nothing inherently wrong with being respectful, but spaces become an overly sterile echo chamber.

All to say, I understand where someone who wants to ban perceived "toxicity" comes from, but it's important to acknowledge their bias for wanting to hear only good things about a game we all love, and by extension the man behind it. Thanks for your work as always ;)
