im a member of the titsrp community, ive been playing for several years, i have a depth knowledge of the server and the average gmod player psychology, instead of playing regularly i play to understand the community a little bit more for my study of the average internet gamer and how they got to be so toxic. this community is such a cool and niche community and its problably the reason why ive been apart of it for so long.

they just added an official rule permitting minion cocks and strip clubs as public bases and you're recommending a change to make it so that people can't talk about charlie kirk's hairline or whatever

No one gaf it’s gmod let people talk about whatever they want as long as it’s not illegal and not against the current rules. Seeing people argue about politics in ooc is funny asf because you know how sad they must be to engage with 14 year olds about trump ice or what ever thing they are choosing to argue about for hours.

i understand where you coming from, but just because its funny doesnt mean its not hurting the community and driving players away. the owner and moderators make changes to the rules all the time, modifying them to keep the in game chat about the game and not letting it derail into political arguments is just simple moderations, not censorship. and if we just let everyone say whatever they want in chat then we might as well as remove chat restrictions as a whole, other games ban spamming, disruptive behavior, harassment because having a unrestricted game chat makes things worse. people join gmod dark rp to play gmod dark rp, not to spend hours reading political arguements in chat, they tend to take over ooc and ruins the experience. if your wanting titsrp to become twitter at least twitter has some guardrails for what can be posted.

political discussion that is not allowed in garrys mod dark rp out of character chat. 

There is no rule stating we can’t have political discussions, just as long as they remain civil

it makes me uncomfortable when children are playing a game that has "meth, kidnapping, murder, vaping, players that say every slur in the book, players who joke about ****, players who joke about hate crimes, etc" 

now when there are minors being exposed to stuff like this its really weird. im not going to pretend like this is normal behavior, letting minors hang around the bottom of the bin weirdos of gmod is not good. 

This would be the parents responsibility to allow their children to play games like this btw.

do not bring political debates or discussion into ooc or rp

do not talk about offensive topics such as: nazi's, racism, pedo accusations, real life topics, religious debates. 

Political debates are not inherently wrong, also the offensive topics you listed, half of them are not allowed by default.

just make this server a 18+ server

Not enforceable in a way you think it is. We can’t age verify people w ID’s, so if a player gets reported for “ sounding underage “ we have to investigate and ask them how old they are and only trust their honesty, it’s not our fault if a 10 year old lies and says they’re 13.

my questions is why is there people preaching Christianity in what is essentially a kids game. gmod darkrp is a kids game if you allow children in it, people under the age of 18, you need rules that reflect that. 

Religion is not a 18+ thing? I grew up in the Bible Belt of America and I still hold my Christian values today, but then even it’s still up to the parents to monitor the child’s activity online.

so i already discussed the whole "its the parents fault" arguement here

saying its up to the parents to moderate is like saying why need to remove speed limit signs in roads because the parents should have taught the kids how to drive better. you dont have to be the parent to children you just need better rules and to implement, saying "we cant tell who is old enough to play the server we would have to ask" its the same agreement with enforcing the TOS. how do you know if a player is below or above the age of 13.  this isnt just  a game, its a community that has a experience for everyone, if your allowing toxic behavior and saying "its the parents fault" hurts the greater of the community. i just dont want to ignore the problem and instead look for the solution for the issue.
