MSMG has never been a polite or sanitized group. The culture has always been loud, sarcastic, competitive, and blunt. Insults, trash-talk, and calling people out are normal and expected parts of MSMG interaction.
Recently, MSMG mods have been deleting comments and posts solely because one user insulted another, even when there are:
No threats
No slurs
No harassment campaigns
No doxxing
This is over-moderation that doesn’t fit MSMG’s long-standing culture.
Insults in MSMG are usually:
One-off comments
Mutual arguments
Responses to provocation
Easily ignorable with mute or block
Deleting content for insults alone:
Waters down MSMG culture
Encourages report abuse
Turns mods into tone police
Punishes expression instead of actual harm
This petition asks MSMG moderators to:
Stop deleting posts or comments for insults alone
Only moderate real violations (threats, hate speech, doxxing, spam)
Accept that MSMG is not a “nice” discussion group
Let users handle minor conflicts themselves
If someone doesn’t like being insulted, they can mute, block, or respond.
Moderator deletion should be a last resort, not the default.
Sign if you support classic MSMG culture, consistent moderation, and freer discussion.
