The moderation tends to be fair and not too heavy handed. And moderators generally patiently advice posters to cease unwanted behaviour before starting to hand out infractions. However, I feel that in thread in question the excellent standard of moderation I've come to expect weren't met. And I don't want to call out any specific moderators, here, but I want to ask for clarification. And as this really is not just about the specific moderation I received, but about the overall policy in in general, I decided to post it here, rather than use private messages. I hope that that is acceptable.I have to say that I don't think the logic of handing infractions in that thread is clear to me. I don't think Christians were mocked or insulted in the thread. Factuality of bible was questioned and atrocities that happen in the Bible were (AFAIK, accurately) pointed out. Whilst perhaps there was some levity in manner it was expressed, I have hard time seeing how this would warrant infractions. Honestly consider had saying the same about some other mythology adapted for a setting warranted a similar action? Would questioning the factuality of the Eddas or implying that Xenu might be made up result an infraction? Would pointing out atrocities and other problematic content in the Greek myths, and asking how adaptation handles them warrant an infraction? I seriously doubt it. Yet those are religions of some real people too.Now I fully understand that making such comments in unrelated tread would be inappropriate. But the thread is literally about setting developed based on the Bible. I really do not think it is appropriate to demand particular defence for a dominant major religions, that would not be afforded to other mythologies. And if the material is adapted into the game, people should be allowed to freely discuss it, without having to treat mythological source material as factual truth or beyond criticism.I was quite hesitant to post this. As I said earlier, I respect moderation team greatly, and I don't want to start any trouble, but I truly feel the logic of the moderation is unclear, and it would set an uncomfortable precedent, so I would greatly appreciate if the matter of how real world mythologies can be discussed could be clarified.</blockquote>
