Okay... since Discord's Clyde bot decided to actually censor me on MY VERY OWN SERVER, I'm going to say it here and paste the link to the thread on my announcement channel. In fact, what I got to say should be public anyway.

Throughout the entirety of 2021, I’ve been getting countless—quote-on-quote—“suggestions” to play games that I have little to no interest, time, motivation, or reason to play. When it comes to games that are trendy, cost the same amount of money as another game I’m better off buying, or whatever as long as it’s the exact same one, I’M SICK OF IT!!! I’m beginning to (45%) understand why the developers/mods of the Pokémon Crystal Clear’s official server are more strict than the Miiverse Admins to the point where they made a stupid statement saying “suggestions and requests are the same thing,” and I hate to end up being no better than them; but since a similar situation happened a few years prior (speaking of Miiverse), it looks like I have no choice now.

I’m officially going to resort to adding a new rule that on my server saying if someone is going to be so desperate for one to get a game that’s not in their interest, they have to give them the money or download code first. If it’s something people can get for free solely because it can be emulated or it's on Game Pass, then paying them isn’t necessarily; but regardless if the game is free or not, if someone (like me) has to say no to it over 5 times no matter where they are (IRL or online) only to continue hearing people say anything along the lines of “you gotta play it,” and if their reasons are the equivalent as why Pokémon fans love these guys so much, then that is by definition peer pressure, and it will result 2 strikes! So I don’t want to hear phrases like:

-“Because it’s good.”

-“Because I say so.”

-“Because it’s mandatory!”

ENOUGH ALREADY!!! I want to hear ACTUALLY reasons! It has happened before with Super Mario 3D World, and it’s better to spend my already-destroyed reputation than my own money to prevent this peer pressure from happening again! Sorry if I sounded like an a$$hole, but this year had been the overlord of stress!
