H) No one is being overdramatic. It's a real problem, for goodness' sake! It's an actual eyesore to see these words, no one wants to be called a stalker! How would you feel if I told you ‘Get off Scratch, you don’t belong here, LEAVE STALKER!' You'd be offended, right? That's what anti-stalking messages are like, just replace ‘Scratch’ with ‘this topic’. See it now? It's not overdramatised.

(I kind of forgot about this thread haha)

See, I would love to discuss all of your points with you, however, your tone is out of line and passive-aggressive Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view. So I'll just leave it at that. If you really want an issue resolved, do so with respect instead of implying rude statements, such as

Unrelated posts aren't allowed anyway, it's not that hard to click Report on a post and say ‘This is unrelated’ and submit the report. Done. As simple as that.

- Does not excuse the behavior of one that leaves unrelated posts

Encourage? Encourage? That may well be the biggest understatement I've ever read online. Those anti-stalking messages don't just encourage. They pressure, harass and bully people into leaving. And that's not an overstatement.

- It is an overstatement actually. SWC is in no way condoning bullying and if you truly belive that, then you may ask the 300+ campers that participate in the camp.

It's not stalking. Please read a dictionary.

- Again, rude. I don't recall saying anything like that towards anyone here, and if I did then I apologize ^^

Tweaking and setting guidelines? We shouldn't even need to.

- By tweaking/setting guidelines, I meant something like this:

“Please take caution with anti-stalking messages posted in your SWC forums, as they imposed false restrictions, blah blah blah. If you're unsure on how to word one, here's an example below: (and a template would go here)”

Which I personally don’t see a problem with? Also:

I thought it was common knowledge that you can't be rude to people, but there must be people who dreadfully lack it, because hostility is never acceptable.

- I speak for myself and others when I say that I know what this implies. I would prefer that you don't insult people of not having common knowledge.

All in all, like I said countless times before, I'm just trying to be respectful and hear out your side and possibly help out, but I don't think saying things like this will help the situation at all. Please be more respectful next time, thank you <33

And ONE last thing:

{USER IDENTIFIED. ACCESS GRANTED. WARNING: UNAUTHORIZED USERS MUST NOT PROCEED PAST THIS MESSAGE}

This one is my message, and it's worded that way for the storyline that the forum is based in, it's not to serve as another anti-stalking message Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view. just wanted to clear that up
