Hey! I know a rule was already put in place, and I'll make a separate discussion regarding that, but here's my response to the video that Damen made about what I had to say. Please excuse the crappy voice quality, and also how nasally I sound if you watch it. I'm experiencing bad allergies, but yeah this is mostly for Damen.

(This would've came out earlier before the rule if Youtube uploading didn't take a million years)

Thank you TeamMaybe. All dating is banned because I can't keep up with who's dating who, and I think trying to do that would bore my brains out.

However, I do not think Little is a predator despite the proof given to me so far. I feel she was being stupid and not thinking about what she was doing. She has another chance. I have dealt with real predators before, and I know this just isn't quite that serious to me, but not okay at the same time.

She is also not the first. Many others apparently may have done this and rather than go back and ban everyone who ever did it– we'll have a new direction going forward from here with the clear rule in place.

Thanks for the response. Video is always the most courageous way to speak. You did well. Now, we will move forward.

Ella will forever be a legend, and that is all I have to say. She will fight for what she believes in, and trust me she knows how to pack a punch. Ella and I can both agree, we used to hate one another. I did not like Ella for the longest time, primarily because she reminded me so much of myself. However, when she became PWC I noticed her strengths. Ella is brilliant, educated, and unbiased. We can all learn from her even if you find what she's saying insulting. Again, she is a legend.

i know i'm not even active on here but i might as well say my peace?

i played oldcp when i was about 9-13 years old, so i got a lot of experiences i shouldn't. i e-dated people and sometimes it was weird, but i'd never really see that? i got to a point in time and age where i realized i had been/was being groomed by multiple people in the community and i normalized that behavior as a kid which was kinda gross, and now i regret it a lot. older people were manipulating me into dating them and sometimes do gross things and it just went ignored!! during that time where i had that realization, i stopped playing because it made me uncomfortable knowing that these literal adults were dating kids?? like uhhh

i don't know honestly, it's very inappropriate that it's being accepted at all
predatory behavior can be intentional or unintentional, but either way it should not be excused as a silly mistake, especially when this game is filled with children and teenagers

i can look back on my past trauma where i was mistreated by people in this community and say it's wacky that we're just gonna let it happen even more? like fr? idk that's kinda disgusting as a whole. banning dating isn't going to do anything when it's a rule you can't enforce, you should tackle the problem head on and get rid of the predators inside of the community, period. like i said there's no excuses for being a predator

i don't even know the drama on this situation, but please just don't let this continue, let this be known and let the problem be actually fixed because that's been such a huge issue in this community for the longest time

anyways i completely agree with you team and thanks for speaking on this
