I should've mentioned this earlier, but the chat connected to this channel will now have stricter moderation. Temporary mutes will be handed out to people using slurs, or insulting others excessively, and permanent mutes or occasionally bans will be given for more serious infractions such as posting uncensored gore, nudity, etc. Just use common sense and don't be a jerk, and you will be fine.

There will still be free-speech and people are welcome to voice their opinions whether you are Pro-Russian, Pro-Ukraine, Neutral, or anything else, but it must be done in a respectful manner. You are allowed to criticize admins, but within obvious limits.

When you have a channel with many conflicting perspectives, you need stricter moderation, or otherwise it falls apart. I aim for the chat to become more productive, but also not formal. Appeals will be in DMs.

Rules are now pinned in the chat. https://t.iss.one/AMK_Mapping_Chat/139040
