So really it comes down to whether you take offense or not, and the key is to try and avoid being too sensitive. This is an online game and at the end of the day, any insult lodged at you fades away within minutes of signing off (or at least it should).

I agree. Responding to the insults negatively only make things worse every time.

on the other hand, ASAB isn't something you should feel so incredibly upset about. That's why people think staff have a superiority complex, which makes them troll around even more.

Exactly! I feel this is what causes much of the issues. I never have any issue with the jokes people make towards mods, as I've said, I tend to play into it just because I think it's fun. When staff react over small things like this, which can easily be written off as things all in jest and good fun, it only feeds trolls and flamers.

Asab I can understand being written off as a joke since it kinda is a meme. But when someone is calling staff members assholes with obvious malicious intent and flaming them with malicious intent that can cause problems. I don’t know why they treat staff memebers like that to be honest.

I couldn't have said it any better myself.
