General Discussion / Re: Stepping back as a mod

Pixelation has been a place of learning, for as long as I have been here.
Exactly because it is an art community, I personally feel all ways of thinking should be allowed to a certain extend in my opinion, as long as everyone has an idea that some borders exist.
In chats people are always talking more openly than in forums and discussions sometimes can get out of hand.
Considering myself as an artist I draw the borders for a community as wide as possible for everyone, considering that they believe in the core idea they are welcome for me.
Some people are more on a side of the political spectrum, some even show their believes off openly, I couldn't care less.
Some people are offended by slight sexist jokes, others don't even raise a brow with heavy stuff.
It doesn't matter to me as long as peaceful coexistence is possible.
Also if those political and religious discussions are going on in an area dedicated for where effectively nobody sees it, unless they explicitly want to partake, not much harm is done in my opinion
I let you have your own opinion, your standpoints, and your way.
I am just stepping back.
I am stepping back because I don't need to threaten a community which is based on a forum by saying if I don't get my way I will destroy huge parts of that forum.
Like deleting all my posts which I gave in with consent of my free will at each time of posting to the community.
If I'd delete those not only my posts would vanish but also all discussions and a whole lot of featured threads would get utterly unusable.
You can use that cannon as you want and point it at anyone you want, it's your good right.
Just don't expect from me any more time or energy.
You can build and restructure this forum the way you want and you can do for the community what I did the last years to the best of your intentions.
