For example I asked in admin chat if anyone's going to gag specific people for harassment, but someone (I don't even remember who) said they'll start watching out for it BECAUSE the victim had asked the group of people to stop after a while. Why not take the initiative to simply !psay them and ask if it's making them uncomfortable if you can't tell if it's harassment or not?

I wish I could upvote this more than once. Speaking up to a staff member if you don't like how people are talking about you/treating you is very hard.

Problem is that so many people, certain groups, within the community talk to each other like trash commonly. Remember the whole fiasco where we tried easing up on language? Same theory, you give an inch and some idiot takes a mile. This is why preemptive staffing and discretion are so important for staff. A lot boils down to managing people which not everyone knows how to do. 

Still not sure if I’ll type of my own response since I’ve been preaching the solutions for years now. Eventually it gets old to repeat yourself, which I only have so much patience for.

You are right about this Matt. I’ve realized that people myself included trash talk one another on the server mainly because we are friend and we don’t usually mind it because we know they aren’t being serious. I do think that we could probably tone it down some but I don’t know if everyone would do it. However, if a person is trash talking to someone they barely know this is most likely where a problem can occur. I also think other users probably don’t like us trash talking each other even if we are not being serious. Like I said in my previous thread I would try to lighten up on it but it will be difficult since most people are still doing it without rest and It’s easy for myself to respond back. I still think I’m a fault for that for responding to them anyway.
