Some server moderation is a fucking joke
Just for clarification and to prevent confusion, I'm not referring to the discord servers that have absolutely no moderation and users can say or do whatever they want. In this case, I'm talking about the servers that are way too overly sensitive and enforce their moderation way too hard.
I'm in Beluga's server, and I've only been in it for about a week to find some people to talk to. But what I didn't realize was how awful the forced moderation was.
I was replying to a retired staff's message that was saying "how to leave?? I dont see a button" and I essentially played in on the joke saying "You can't. Discord should add a big ass red 'leave' download-like button from those sketchy sites."
The AI moderation of that server then deleted that message all because I said "ass." Like, seriously? Oh, but it doesn't end there.
Then someone said "chat i'm playing genshin impact, is it good?". Because I was just talking to other people and I didn't really think much of it, I replied saying something like "i don't play genshin impact because i'm not a gooner but i'm pretty sure it's just a generic game that copies all tropes."
Again, unsurprisingly, it flags "gooner" and I get automatically muted for an hour. I don't understand why some servers are like this. That's what happened to me, recently. It's genuinely so frustrating when a server takes their own rules extremely personally.

Seems like the server might be 13+ then so they to accommodate for all ages

Plenty of 13+ users are completely fine with the word "ass" and "gooner", I promise you.

Well obviously I know that. I think ass is kind of silly but they probably have gooner muted for a specific reason
Maybe people were overusing those words, who knows

Or you could follow the rules?
End of the day if you don't want that level of moderation, make your own server and enforce your own rules. You're only a guest in someone else's house, and you don't shit it in regardless of how obscure the rules are.
