Hi Lowtax, I know you're under no real obligation to tell your modmin team anything at any time, but it'd be cool if you could give us heads up when you do things like this so we don't find out about decisions that directly affect the rest of us via weird mass avatar purchases, apparently.

Thanks,

Yesterday a 4 year old had to share a bed with me.
:) Airborne, you're wearing shorts, right?
:v: Yeah.
:) Good. I don't want your penis touching me.

I really have no idea where it came from, but is that close enough?

Half the mods got bought bizarre WINDOWS 98 BEAT HIS FRIEND WITH A SHOVEL avatars. That wouldn't bother me, but Windows 98 is apparently a controversial enough mod/IK choice that somebody decided to drop a few hundo on buying the mod team avatars expressing their incredible fury. The assumption that every mod knows every time Lowtax makes a controversial decision is what could lead to doxxing and real-life harassment over a situation we didn't know anything about and had no control over.

It is very much worth emphasizing that nobody, mod or admin, knows when or why Lowtax does things. Certainly not in advance.

to be fair, thats more of a profoundly mentally unwell person problem moreso than lowtax's mod decisions. i mean they could have done that for any sadbrain reason or just because
