Custom CC Games are way better than Ranked

[Calmlamity]

My problem with communities is that I never know which one is sanitized and which one isn't. Revival for instance tries to be welcoming which I appreciate, while fostering lightly moderated channels (opt-in) for DC centric post game malding and toxicity. Before this it was just public DC specific channels where moderation was supposed to happened, but never did. This sends very mixed signals to me.

It's a change of signals. If you've been around Revival for a bit, you know that ranked conversation used to dominate the DC channels, and it made for a pretty uncomfortable environment for the people who were trying to do anything else. It was also uncomfortable even for some of the people who were doing ranked, heard from multiple consistent t-100s, who just didn't want to deal with criticism against their will if they made a mistake.

So the opt-in section is meant to funnel that ranked PvP intensity, give them a place to exist within the server, while keeping the rest of it cozy to the people who don't care to be a part of it. The sweaties have their home, and it unlocks the rest of the server for the frontliners, and the rival wingers, and the duelers, and the people looking for mentoring, and the people who wanna share cat memes, who don't want that bleeding into their preferred spaces. It's not that the sweaties have their opt-in section and the entire rest of the server. They have that one space, and the rest of the server is cleaner for it. And while we're still getting comfy with how to moderate it, it is still moderated.
There's an expectation of personal respect that everyone who opted in agreed to, and we've pushed back against people who have gone too far.

There are a lot of volunteers who put in a ton of time and effort to make Revival a cozy place, and I absolutely mean this when I say that, if there's something you'd like to see different, don't hesitate to let us know. Open a ticket or put it in the suggestions channel. And if you don't want a the entire admin and mod team to see who you are but you have something on your mind? Feel free to DM me. They're always open, and I try my best to be a teddy bear. I've put years of effort into trying to make Revival a better place, and the majority of the improvements we've made have come from people who don't have any staff roles.
