People complained to Hedgehawk about politics and police issues dominating the status bar yesterday. 

That's fair. We asked people to take these discussions to more appropriate places like a thread or a Discord channel. Also fair.

I was unaware this turned into a new rule Hedgehawk was actively policing. That, in my opinion, was a mistake. I've talked to Hedgehawk in the last few minutes, the result:

There is no ban on current affairs/politics in the status bar.

If people complain about seeing too much of it, if the issues discussed result in conflicts in the status bar, expect staff to tell you/whoever to move the discussion somewhere else.

Questions?
