According to the survival book, we should resolve situations with a bit of aggresiveness

If the situation does’nt resolve, call friends to explain or be more aggressive or be the ” magnum ” ( a guy who proves everything wrong to everyone )

If you break the rules, you deserve the consequences received from breaking the rules. It is honestly that simple. It doesn’t matter if people don’t like him or not. That isn’t the official punishment, just something that happens when someone breaks the rules and it affects others.

It’s like someone stealing money from a bank and the police decide not to arrest the robber because the public already hates that he stole from the bank.

1. People have indeed tried befriending JoShtick or at the very least tolerate him. He still continues to spam and clutter up the feed. People do try to create their own posts, but those get swarmed up with his. I’d understand why anyone would feel unhappy if they decide to post something funny and nonsensical and someone decided to rip into it. However, JoShtick has continued to constantly post such things and clutter up the feed. They rip on his stuff not because of the stuff he has, but because he constantly spams all of it all over the place and breaks the rules.

2. I do understand ignoring a problem can fix it. There’s been multiple cases where that has occured for me. In this situation, where it is an online chat room, however, such an option isn’t as easy. At least in the real world you can try avoiding the person you dislike. JoShtick consistently posts spam in the feeds. It’s hard to ignore because he alone takes up a good half of all the activity due to his constant spamming. Something like this shouldn’t be something we just “move on from and make do with.” He’s breaking the rules, he should be penalized for it. We shouldn’t have to get used to his behavior when he’s breaking the rules. He should have to be required to cease such behavior.

3. People hating isn’t a punishment whatsoever, it’s merely an effect resulting from a cause. If you call someone an idiot, that causes the person to dislike you, which is the effect. If you break a rule, you will receive consequences for it, which is the punishment. In this case, JoShtick’s actions have resulted in both making people angry and breaking the rules. It doesn’t matter that people don’t like him, that isn’t an actual punishment.

4. JoShtick was not just posting on his backstory. He was constantly posting on random topics in posts that could all be combined into one. His activity shows that he has just been cluttering the feed with random messages as well as RHG backstory stuff.

In general, I don’t think rules and consequences should be disregarded for the sake of friendliness and avoiding conflict. By breaking the rules, it is required for some form of consequence/punishment to be inflicted. I don’t believe the consequences are aggressive, I believe they are both necessary and appropriate to the situation. His actions warrant a punishment according to the rules. So he should receive one. Simple as that. I believe that punishments should be appropriate to the action, and the rules state what the punishment should be, therefor I will stand with that punishment. It’s upholding rules, not trying to get everyone to be friends.
