The moderation team is chosen by efficiency and merit. We are capable of judging what would and wouldn't be harmful for the community and the database with our actions, constantly nagging with moderators and administrators to reconsider your rejected input will only bring further unnecessary strife. While you're free to protest, we are also free to refuse explaining ourselves over and over.

:Once approved, the comments will be displayed publically in the character's page, be mindful with what you write. Over sharing with strangers isn't fun, try not to make others uncomfortable.

Try not to make mods and admins angry, we are the ones with full control over accepting or rejecting your input content, as well as revoking privileges and banning.
