one good thing about allowing most any talk/discussion is that the trolls/jerks/bigots, etc., show themselves.
trying to decipher the actions of mods and staff as it relates to 'sensitive' issues is a guessing game. at one point, mentioning lichess could get you muted. now, it doesn't matter. there was a topic about politics that went on for weeks. then, all of a sudden it's locked.
i think it's fair to say few know what any boundaries are.
i'd also add that cc prefers it this way. ambiguous rules allow for the random actions we all see.
Squeeze your thing daddy... yeah that's great.
