If you haven't already noticed, I made a post talking about the plot Sputt time, which I labelled as "Toxic" but didn't give any context as to what really makes it toxic. I suggest you read that post to understand the points that will be made here as this is a follow up/continuation of that thread.
I would first like to make it clear that while it isn't possible to control the toxic levels that have become of diamondfire, it is no secret that the levels of toxicity have been on going. In saying that, I'd like to say that I believe Sputt is right; toxicity is apart of PvP games, people get mad and you cant control others. However, It is also brave that Sputt acknowledged it and took accountability. Furthermore Refrizor had commented on that thread stating that toxicity has been a multi long issue that is on-going and is like a neverending cycle. Sputt had no intentions to make a toxic game, but the downfall is that PvP does tend to bring out the worst in the player, it isn't what anyone wants.
Secondly, while Sputt cannot be held responsible for the playerbase and their individual actions, I believe that the moderators and those who can, have the ability to help the conversation move towards a positive and solution-thinking direction, instead of saying, "There is nothing we can do, end of discussion." There is something you can do, if you at least try and take matters into your own hands and make something of it. Whether that be acknowledging a fellow player disrespecting another player, we as the player could try and supress the situation temporarly until a higher up handles it.
Finally whether it be a joking matter or just a normal thing for you, it is easy to offend someone without even knowing it. Words speak clearer than actions. I believe that DiamondFire is and has been toxic and while not many people seem to care much for it, it is like cleaning the world of pollution. You can't stop it, but you can limit it.

Sputt Time has become something it shouldn't
(WARNING THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK NOR HATE IN ANY WAY IT IS ALSO QUIET LONG) Greetings, I am Retro. Whether you have played the plot "Sputt Time" or heard things about it, then you are probably aware of the dark side of it. Before I begin this discussion I want to make a few things clear. This...
