Sep 19, 2016 at 19:54 comment added Cerbrus What I'm basically saying is: Yes, "Be nice" applies to all rooms. But within those rules, room owners are relatively free to moderate their rooms how they see fit.
Sep 19, 2016 at 19:49 comment added Cerbrus Of course there's a set of rules all rooms have to abide by. However, those are relatively lenient. This allows different rooms to enforce different sets of rules. For example, some rooms allow swearwords, others don't. It's not like the rooms that do allow such language hide it from staff, either. There are quite a few moderators that are very active in chat, in those rooms.
Sep 19, 2016 at 18:26 comment added ꓢPArcheon I wouldn't want to have to assume that the way the "community/RO express their decision" is to hide some things from the staff so that they don't act against them. But that is the only way I see for a consumer of a service to use the service in ways the providers of the service wouldn't approve.
Sep 19, 2016 at 18:23 comment added ꓢPArcheon @Cerbrus sorry, but as I stated before, that is the mayor point we disagree on. In my opinion, in no situation the community gets to decide to tolerate more than the staff would do. If you tolerate less, then the "victim" is free to have the staff roll back your decision. If you tolerate more, then the only way you have to get away with that is by not getting the staff involved. Which, sadly, isn't you getting the final word over their decision: it is just that they don't know.
Sep 19, 2016 at 6:35 comment added Cerbrus "they are expected to enforce the same "Be Nice" policy": Yes, at thier discretion. Some rooms tolerate swearing, while other rooms have tolerate nothing.

removed Cerbrus quote
Sep 16, 2016 at 17:57 comment added ꓢPArcheon @Cerbrus - nope, IMHO they don't have a power to act. Instead, they have chosen to carry on a duty to act when needed. The choice isn't their: they are expected to enforce the same "Be Nice" policy the staff has declared. Anyway, as promised, since you feel I may have misrepresented your message, I will remove it.
Sep 16, 2016 at 6:48 comment added Cerbrus @SPArchaeologist: The quote you took from my answer was meant to indicate that users have a voice, but room owners have the power to act, or not to act on that voice.
Sep 16, 2016 at 1:38 comment added anon just maybe, they aren't trying to trick us into doing their biding when they say that some jokes are making them feel uncomfortable? I think there is something in this line. People either think the complainer is oversensitive or possibly trying to control things.. I appreciate your long reply and yes you are getting to the actual source of the problem and that's part of the reason I posted here. Hoping to raise the bar. Appeal to the higher intelligence. Educate people and all that. But what is it just gets the upvotes of the already educated and others really do not learn?

Fixed some grammar that was a bit odd in a couple spots (I may have missed some more), corrected some typos, fixed what appeared to be the intended formatting at the end of the answer
