Hi Ellie,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I’ve reviewed the chat logs, the staff follow-up, and your concerns.
To clarify, there was already a general directive in place for staff to limit political discussions in public chat. Staff are authorized to use /mute or other tools if needed. In this case, MechaBanditKing did allow the conversation to go on longer than ideal, and he's since acknowledged that and taken appropriate steps to de-escalate and set expectations going forward.
That said, it’s also clear from the logs that this wasn’t a one-sided exchange. The discussion became increasingly inflammatory, and everyone involved played a role in letting it escalate. While it didn’t cross into punishable territory from a rule enforcement standpoint, it’s exactly the kind of situation we want to avoid. Minecraft is meant to be a fun and inclusive space, and political arguments—no matter the viewpoint—tend to derail that for everyone.
No corrective action is being taken at this time, but we are treating this as a reminder to all involved—staff and players alike—to avoid contentious political debates in public chat. If there's ever a concern in the future, you’re always welcome to report it so it can be addressed promptly: https://forum.craftersland.net/forum/465-complaints/
We appreciate your involvement in the community and hope we can all move forward with a bit more clarity and respect for the space we share.
