  1. Yep already done! I also added a clarification to what happened (that you were repobanned in error). Sorry for all the inconvenience, we've had to deal with a lot of harassment/hate in the last few months so we're still a bit quick on the trigger when it comes to dealing with things that look like they might be anti-LGBTQ. Also, a lot of our core staff team are not from the US so they aren't fully informed on what's going on the US LBTQ/Pride space. (I had to do a bit of Googling to find the context for your joke)
  2. Hello! Sorry about the ban, we were a bit hot on the trigger these days and some of our staff didn't get the reference so we assumed that it was a dog-whistle for LGBTQ hate. In retrospect, it's a pretty good joke but it's something easily that can go over someone's head (and might lead to wrong assumptions). I've reversed the ban, so you should be able to contribute once more. I'm assuming since you're making these sort of jokes you're probably involved in some form of pro-LGBTQ activism, and if so I'd personally like to thank you for standing up for people like myself and others right to be themselves. If you aren't directly involved, that's fine too since you are clearly an ally that cares enough about LQBTQ rights to be making references to Stonewall :P Appeal accepted.
  3. Part of the issue is that players in the round would be unable to understand what is being said. It might be work rewording this to be less of a zero tolerance thing and more of something that should only be done when it makes sense in RP. (IE: if your character is a Polish engineer and swears in polish when something breaks). Something we have thought about is the possibility of adding a clientside translator to allow people who have difficulty with english to translate their messages before they send them. Idk, but I agree with you. We should try to accommodate people who have a different primarily language more. Edit: Got ninja'd by an admin :P, also yeah admins need to be able to understand what you are saying in the moment because people like to use different languages to try and get away with yelling slurs and such. Having a built in translator thingy could help but it would be a bit of work to implement and it's kind of a "When You Code it" feature
  4. Hello, looking at the conversation in context Sloth was referring to your username being a larger issue than being unable to be called princess in the game. No one was threatening to ban you over your username or your complaint. You are wrong about succubi though, they are inherently sexual demons and in most media are depicted in an NSFW manner (But they have occasionally been referenced tastefully in cartoons before, usually without invoking their full context). As was pointed out in the discord discussion, titles are not permitted in names. Although there is the possibility for support being added for titles in the future but mainly for roles. (This is primarily done to prevent abuse and keep player names shorter). In regards to your complaint about Sloth, none of this exchange was unprofessional or unwelcoming. Sloth was simply bringing up that your username *could* be considered not safe for work and could cause issues. No one is going to kick you for your username without giving you a chance to change it or explain yourself and to be honest I personally don't think it's a major issue. The shrug emoji in particular is a common and inoffensive way to signify that you don't really care either way and isn't unprofessional in the slightest. As someone uninvolved in this discussion (Who is also Trans, so please don't try to weaponize your identity like that) none of this conversation reads as threatening or unprofessional and I'll be honest you seem to have some preconceived notions about Sloth.
  5. is natively supported in Windows and Mac (with some Linux distros featuring support too), so I don't think it would be as difficult to implement The closest thing to voice chat I see us getting is Voice-to-Text dictation support (as an accessibility feature). Like Moony said it's effectively impossible to moderate. It's also expensive network-wise (sending encoded voice is more expensive than raw binary data), and it's effectively impossible for admins to store and review logs later (unless you want 100s of GB of voices recorded for logging, which would be hell for GDPR or COPA enforcement...). Voice-To-Text is something that is natively supported in Windows and Mac (with some Linux distros featuring support too), so I don't think it would be as difficult to implement it as an accessibility feature (for those who type slowly or have a typing impediment). I could see a feature like this ending up on upstream sometime but like always WYCI.
  6. AutoTranslation: This is a really complicated one and it would probably require connecting to and using an external api (maybe google?) WYCI Moving while typing: You could create a user option to just enable arrow keys while typing (you would have to disable moving the cursor with them though) WYCI Selectable Text: Pretty sure this one already exists if not WYCI Clickable Links: If you mean clickable hyperlinks, that's a major security vulnerability. Since people can use malicious URLs to download files or phish for info (such as logins). Maybe with some link masking and warnings but still, kinda risky. If you mean linking to the wiki or ingame items like WOW or some MMOS? WYCI Text to speech + Sounds To Text: We'd need to use a library for this but I don't see why we couldn't add this for accessibility. WYCI TLDR: Most of this is definitely doable but no one has been actively working on any of these. If someone wants to give it a shot some of these could be an easy-ish first code PR.
