personally, I think this is a reasonable crashout... Dude has a point. ​:blob_hai:​Screenshot: everyone Member we need to have a serious talk. Some of you members are saying [that] you like Petra and Maili and younger characters and then say "You're 14, 13". That's still not ok. No one wants to hear your weird jokes about how you would fuck Petra or take her as your wife and for all I know half [of] y'all could be 36 and lying about your age to get away with it. This is enough! Stop!Some of you might be joking, but [the] others, [I] don't really know, and some don't even know your age and will call you pedophiles.@animemes@ani.social

This person needs to learn about punctuation and grammar.

I don't know if I agree with the "we don't know so we are just going to call everyone pedophiles" sentiment. I understand they need to be careful to comply with the law, but that could also easily backfire as if it is false it could be considered slander (possibly libel depending on the specific legal definition).

I don't really know much about this particular situation, but I think if I was the admin of the server here I would caution the mods against just blanket labelling people, especially when they aren't certain of it. If the server is 18+, then anyone saying they are below 18 should just be permabanned, joke or not. Otherwise just says in the rules "No sexual jokes/comments about characters under 18," and ban anyone that breaks the rule. Pretty easy solution to whatever is happening here, I think.

    Slander is spoken, and libel is written, so this would be libel if it is either. "There's libel in the library."

    Well I wrote it that way because the applicable laws may be different depending on where in the world that server pirmarily operates in.

    Due to the nature of Discord, messages posted on it could be considered permanent or temporary, and libel almost exclusively applies to permanent writing such as a blog post or news article in the USA (but may be different in other places).
