If you want to discuss @Micahās own personal ethics and boundaries, thatās a question for you guys to take to PM really.
This forumās rules are clearly explained here, and I donāt want any confusion to creep in.
Harassment is plainly against the rules and if any member has concerns, please contact me regarding this.
@Micah is not breaking any current rules by posting this and since he wanted to address his concerns, I appreciate him making a topic rather than having drama occurring in the TMW topic, which is intended for chat and not clearing grudges.
As most of you who have been here a while know, rules only get brought in when something is enough of a problem on enough occasions to need a line in the sand, and not just for the sake of it, because generally, unwanted conduct is covered by an existing rule anyway.
At the moment, the issue with things that happen on Discord is not serious enough to need a ākeep any mention of Discord & outside groups completely off the forumā kind of rule, I am trusting people can exercise common sense, verify who you invite, and generally act like rational adults.
However, I am concerned that dramas on Discord chats may spill over into the forum, so I remind people that BALG Discord Groups Do Not Exist ā one of the reasons being that it is impossible to verify identity, and all the usual protections you will get on this forum, against harassment and so on, cannot exist outside of it.
So please exercise common sense when taking part in any of these groups.
