look, precedent or not, the mods will and should always have veto rights of who is in their game. if a bunch of anons come to them about 'concerns' that have no basis, in game or not, the mods can go 'haha, good try, loser' and ignore them. but if people, in game or not, come to the mods and go 'hey, this person in your game is fostering a toxic environment by basically saying my existence makes them sick/saying racist and/or homophobic things in a public setting' and there's proof to back it up, the mods can look at that and decide 'do i want that in my game or not'. honestly, they don't even need people coming to them with proof about that. if i modded a game and someone was being that kind of disgusting, i'd boot them on my own. 'sorry, this is my space and i don't want you in it'.
you're arguing that it's about anons and setting a precedent to just lambast people for whatever reason and that they have a right to be in that game.
no, they don't. they, like any player, are allowed to be there because the mods let them. it's the mods' game. if they for whatever reason decide to kick someone, that's their prerogative. if they do it because their bestie wants that char spot, they will likely receive the proper backlash for it and be called out for being dicks. if they do it because someone's fostered a toxic environment, no one's going to be calling the mods out for bad behavior (other than the person booted). this is where your argument is flawed. look at the recent denise/wg incident. people go to her every day about wah wah wankgate and she usually shrugs it off. it's when people cross the line that she gets involved, as she should. this is a similar incident. people can go to the mods and bitch and whine all they want. honestly, as an ex-mod, i've seen bitching over the stupidest things and expectations of people getting booted for being on hiatus when the other person wanted them involved in a plot (for example), so the mods are used to baseless complaints and how to ignore them. bring them anything with meat and they can actually chew on that and do something about it. no one's going to boot nobody mcstranger for being in a game no matter how many anons come in saying that nobody smells and doesn't wash at home. that doesn't affect anyone in game. if nobody mcstranger starts calling people slurs/derisive terms in their plurks, that's a basis for a boot. if someone who might want to app into the game was molested by them, that's a basis for a boot. but it's all going to be up to the mods at their discretion and people complaining about anon complaints and precedent are being stupid. five hundred anon comments about nobody isn't going to get them booted. all it takes is one with deets, which is the case here with phase.
