So I ended up deleting it. It would be good to talk to people here (like minded people) about those topics without the fear of the ban hammer. --- End quote --- You wouldn't get banned. That is a decision that is not made lightly. We are all human, and sometimes we say things without thinking... or even it's well thought-out but controversial. To get banned, you basically have to be a shit human (or spammer). --- End quote --- From what I have seen over the years, good people have been banned here too fast for small things. |

Because I can't think of a single one. Keep in mind, what you guys see and what also happens in moderation reports and private messages can be completely different things. |
