I have mentioned before that I am okay with this sub existing, but must you insult the mods at /r/team60s like this?
Firstly - I want to clear up that these are my own thoughts. I am in no way currently representing the mods of /r/team60s. In fact I can say with complete confidence that my opinions would be the same if I were not added to the mod team (by complete surprise, I might add).
I understand that some of us want different things out of purple/60s subs. I have no issue with this. But saying things like "mods being idiots.", "the same ideology as /r/team60s (generally non-violent) but with mods that care.", and "I'm really glad there's a sub with mods that I know are reliable and care about what they are doing."
It is fair enough that you do not hold the same values as the mods at /r/team60s. You wish to take the 'role play' that is the button completely seriously, we want to cater to both those that take it seriously and those that don't want to as much. Neither of these is a bad thing, so why must you insult us for making different choices?
I understand that there was the incident with the censorship of (as far as I know) two posts. I am still not sure who did this but I can confidently say laying the blame on the mods in general is downright wrong and hurtful to those of us who are doing our best to make team60s a place where 60s of all interests and values can work together. I also want to note for those that aren't aware that both posts are visible now again since they were brought to the other mod's attention. I know I for one was offline when the second post in question went up, and by the time I got online it was gone, so I had no way of knowing except that someone sent the mods a message, if they hadn't done that we may have never found out and who knows what reputation that would've garnered for us.
I am not asking you to come back to team60s, or to change your ways or anything. I simply ask that you remember we are people, doing what we can to ensure a balance between seriousness and light-heartedness, and we can get hurt when you insult us for it, so please reconsider when you are about to insult us, and please try to take a step back and realize that you are insulting us for not playing a game the way you like, you can take the game seriously, but that doesn't mean you can expect us to do the same.
