It really depends on the circumstance. Heated religious and political arguments should be a high priority, but spam and useless posting should be looked at and paid attention to more closely.

Oh yeah, I’m not saying they should stop dealing with heated stuff like that, just that they should probably prioritize it less than spam and trolling

bro really goes “just assume this number is right” and then goes on to write a 10 page essay of math all on that one completely arbitrary number. In reality I think there are like 3 or 4 adults total on otf, and they don’t comment most of the time, so the chances are probably like 98-99%

i'm basing it off chance of interactions, not users of OTF in specifc. This site most likely has more adult players than child players. although i do agree with your statement, otf is mostly full of kids, which proves my point that most adults dont want to touch these forums because of that fact, there are a ton of 18+ otf users in other otf forums, but they usually dont interact with these other forums. apologies if you think my stuff is inaccurate, but it doesnt invalidate the rest of my points. otf rn is kinda, how shall i put it, not very good. i think that it should be held to the same standard as every other forum identifier, maybe at an even stricter standard.

made a lil edit so that people don't get angry at me bc i have incorrect maths. wont happen again. either way the future chapters i make wont have as much, like, percentages n stuff out and about cuz tbh im not that good at math and i made most of these posts afte taking 8-9 hour tests so some stuff might not make a whole lotta sense. just goes to show that anyone can make mistakes
