But [Redacted]? Definitely NO. I always see his posts as a scientific and truths, haven't saw him go personal. 

You know what? I've decided to forgive him for it. And to believe in him. After all, he could very well be a victim to it as much as I am. Also because of how bad the game has gotten, I understand the frustration he might be having.

As the moderation team have been restlessly implying by editing out player names in this discussion so far - it's not really permitted to name drop individuals in these types of discussions as it may lead to provocation. So, please refrain from doing so (or inciting it).

I think they were talking about me.

I'm sorry.

I completely agree. People often tend to forget the fact this is a game and the majority of the player base are underage, with the demographic vastly being centered around the 13-16 year old area, AKA middle-schoolers. So I'm hardly surprised - much less phased - when I find myself in a toxic scenario, where the main goal of the person is to berate whatever doesn't quite go their way.

Moreover, I'd like to say that I've thankfully managed to avoid the toxic end of the community by simply carefully picking my friend circles, and not going anywhere I'm not comfortable in. Keeping a keen eye on who I'm spending my time with and generally keeping a perspective that, most likely, the person being toxic to me is a child - it's much easier to overlook and get over such circumstances without leaving a bad taste in my mouth and/or ruining my gaming experience.

Lastly, I'd like to mention the fact that Tanki's community is by no means unique in its toxic attributes. In fact, our community is actually quite lovely when you take in other communities that are so toxic, they've essentially become memes in the gaming industry, such as CS:GO and Rust communities.

CS:GO can be a funny toxic but it's also a major problem. People will throw a 45 minute game 5 minutes in because of one small thing.
