<Snipped quote by Sherlock Holmes>
Why wouldn't they? Multiple people have been shadowbanned over the past few months, a copious amount of rules have been added, and I literally have proof of a chatmod encouraging drama on the Discord last night.
As for bans, it's always been a rule that they're not supposed to be discussed on the forums. Any rules that have been added are mostly just clarification of standing rules because people were nickel 'n diming things and forcing us to elaborate on what has generally always been loose guidelines. Not that it doesn't suck, but some people just need things spelled out in black and white. Any bans that happen are always discussed at length by the mod team before they're enacted. Of course, I see the other side of all these things, so nothing is in the shadows for me. I can understand how it would seem this way on the flip side, however.
As for a chatmod encouraging drama on the Discord -- that I can't speak for because I didn't see it. (Not necessarily happy to hear that, but I'd want to see the conversation for context.)

always welcome in Spam as far as I'm concerned. Anyone who says otherwise can speak with me directly.
