It is spam if I reply to others in this thread? Another weird rule, in all other forums I know, it is perfectly fine if you respond to the replies of others even in a thread that you started yourself. Replying via main post? Do others still get an alert then for being quoted? Because otherwise they would only stumble upon my response by chance.
As a reason for censoring swear words etc. it has been stated/is a common reasoning that there is children playing on the server who shouldn't be exposed to this kind of stuff. Clearly, some people think that very young people need to be protected and sheltered from that, which shows that they have neither trust in young people to be reasonable nor do they respect them, which they show by belittling and patronizing them. This is something that goes beyond this server, actually.
Now, about the ages: Those staff members are still barely below 16. I chose "below 16" as a number, but what I am mostly referring to is children of the ages 12 and less, while for those between 12 and 16 it is not rare to still be treated like they are 10 or something. I think it is rather obvious that I referred less to very specific ages and more to a nebulous age range, a period in one's life where one is often patronized.
