    Moving Goalposts of “Unwelcome Concepts” Cited

    Were these achievements justified to be demoted?

    Some users speak out.

    Muted for Response in the Set’s Official Forum Topic

    Well, thanks for showing why I want nothing to do with this site anymore.

    If anyone actually likes them, I have a significantly improved implementation. Message me if you are interested.

    The site mute was handed down even though the alternative was not even mentioned by name.

    A site-muted user cannot post in the forums or even respond to direct messages on the site.

    Was a site mute even warranted here? What forum rule was broken anyway?
