Hi, Please fix the system soon. Glad You all are trying to work on it. However, it's insane the last 2 days, especially at Othello! We used to have fun! We used to be able to kid around, flirt within limits, and talk about whatever we liked and need to! Not so now, we are being told not to discuss our friend's demerits. It's been ongoing all day, that I am here. People are being blacked mark a lot, and for only voicing their rightful concerns. In the last 6 months or so, many people are getting them. Some for a short time, others banned Plus demerited! Most of us now feel we cannot talk freely! We must walk on the proverbial eggshells or ELSE! Come on, this feels like a dictatorship now, Not a democracy as We once were. We dare not to talk about, "The elephant in the room! Please examine all of this chaos. It isn't needed and will drive some players, (Dear old-timers,) away!! We are being told that this system 99% of the time, gives demerits! And, that it is being worked on. OK. But, the least MODS and/or OPs can do, is make this right somehow. Even apologize to those so wrongfully demerited! For, having them is humiliating, hurtful, and emabarrassing and they cause anger, tears, fear, and no longer can We the People Of Othello feel free to be me/us! Please help?!! We need love, patience, tolerance, fairness, compassion, empathy... and often let us give people the benefit of the doubt! Please Dear Thor and or Goddess reply here, if possible. I have complete trust in you two, and a few other Senior Moderators. Let's nip this in the bud. Let us be FREE once more, of this I beseech You! Yours in Othello love and service, Tessa
