I hollaed (Come meet you new POTUS!(if you want to discuss politics please be over the age of 12)
He muted me for how ever long with the only thing being said, "-This game is for everyone. So please keep those nonsense outside the game thanks"
I never cussed, or did anything worth muting, just a little joke..
I'm not asking for the mute to be removed, I'm just bringing this attention, a friend said I should cause this is pretty unfair.
Also temoraily is misspelled.
Alot of people were saying "F--- Trump"(Before Super/Delta was there) and yet I was the muted for wanting a civilized discussion.

I dont think muting me was the right way to go, muting the realm was the appropriate thing to do, I'm not trying to say how to mod, just seeing a mod popup means 'alright stop now' to me. I had no intention of hollaing anymore after that.
In my opinion, issues like this only really become a problem when people start getting mean and vindictive.
But I feel that anything Donald Trump related will try and be censored by the community because not a lot of people agree with him and his methods. To say something like that is what causes fights and for the conversation to turn ugly.
Damn was expressing his/her opinion in a non-violent and civilized way, whereas you saw fit to use a more uncivilized approach as a counter to his/her opinion. And that's why people cant have civilized discussions in this game, because one person doesn't like the other opinion and decides to get mean.
But why even warn? What's wrong with inviting a little debate? Well... it's fairly clear that there's no way you could holla what you did without inviting a lot of craziness/strife/anger etc...
I don't think it should be that way, but that seems to be the climate we live in for better or worse. In politics lot of effort is made to slander the other team. So you've got people out there that really hate this or that president or politician and who simply can't discuss it reasonably. They're really polarised one way or another. And it's not just anti trump. It's anti whoever...
We've limited political discussion on the forums because there's a lot of places on the Internet to discuss politics and we just don't feel this is the place for it.
In-game I guess people can talk about whatever between themselves, but when you start to holla it, you're basically inviting a public game-wide debate. I think that probably is best left elsewhere. CC is just not the place for it.
Gonna close this down for the same reasons.
