First off, I'd like to commend staff on taking the initiative and accountability in attempting to clean up some of the nastiest corners of the p99 community. It's a thankless job and a voluntary one, your efforts do not go unnoticed and I recognize said efforts.

While "these phrases" may be insensitive, they are subjective. There are many people in America today that are proud to be a part of the welfare community and state as much when asked. Surely anyone can see the rise in beggars on many street corners all across the country and other examples. The trend is increasing, not decreasing.

With that being said, allow me to play Devil's Advocate for a moment concerning one sentence in Ambrogio's statement above, and particularly the second portion:
"These phrases are both insensitive and have been verbalized to degrade others."

Have you ever worked or sacrificed for any long attainable goal to have some authority come along and take or wipe away everything? All of your time and efforts are instantly devalued, one feels disrespected and disregarded, discarded in fact. How would you feel if someone came along and did the same thing to you? Wouldn't those people feel "degraded" ?

If the goal is to increase empathy and lessen the degradation of others, shouldn't we utilize a scalpel and not a chainsaw?

Who is Ramal? Never heard of him or her.

Ambrogio — 09/09/2022
"Greetings! Effective immediately; “welfare mobs”, “food bank menu”, or any derivative of those phrases, as can be seen across some channels, are no longer allowed to be used. These phrases are both insensitive and have been verbalized to degrade others. With deepest sincerity; we apologize to all that have been affected by those phrases. Going forward; we will treat any continued use of these phrases as PNP violations and resolve them accordingly."

Why stop there? Let's add destitute
dirt poor
impoverished
empty-handed
indigent
flat broke
low
fortuneless
meager
hard up
needy
impecunious
penniless
in need
poverty-stricken
in want
underprivileged
moneyless
bankrupt
necessitous
down-and-out
pauperized
flat
penurious
insolvent
pinched
scanty
reduced
suffering
stone broke
bad off
strapped
beggared
truly needy
beggarly
unprosperous

I'd hate for anyone to be offended.

Furthermore, shouldn't we attempt to empathize with those players that have sacrificed and worked for a very long time to attain their goals in game?

Do their opinions and positions mean nothing, now?
