Hello everyone,
I want to open a serious discussion about the increasing toxicity within the Otland community and the apparent lack of rule enforcement. Over the past nine days, I have conducted an in-depth analysis of a single user:

After reviewing over 3,000 of his messages, I found that nearly 90% of them consist of off-topic comments, personal attacks, and misleading statements—often completely unrelated to the discussion at hand. More than half of his posts contain false information presented without evidence, and if my calculations are correct, at least 1,781 of his messages violate Otland’s main rules and sub-forum guidelines.
At this point, I have to ask: Does Otland still enforce its rules, or has it become a place where favoritism dictates what is allowed? Reporting violations, even with direct excerpts from the rulebook and clear justifications, seems to achieve nothing. If the rules are not being upheld, wouldn’t it be simpler to remove them altogether?
I understand that some may dismiss this as a trivial topic. However, I am deeply concerned about the state of this community. If this continues, I will seriously consider migrating to a more professionally moderated forum. I also anticipate responses such as "Haha, what an idiot!"—which would only confirm my point that the majority of remaining users seem unable to engage in constructive discussion.
I would sincerely appreciate a response from the Administration or Moderators regarding this matter.
Trolling (General Rules, point 3)
False Information & Misinformation (Server Gala – Rules about replying to a thread)
Spamming / Repetitive Messaging (General Rules, point 2)
Off-Topic / Irrelevant Posts (General Rules, point 1)
These rules are not being respected anymore—not just in my case, but in multiple threads dating back to 2021. If enforcement is no longer a priority, then why pretend the rules exist?
I look forward to hearing thoughts from the community—and more importantly, from the Otland staff.
