Hi @Vastha, a general steer is that we should do our best not to derail threads, which includes not using them to query or challenge moderator guidance. You can always PM us (which is recommended as the best way to make sure a moderator actually sees the question) or in some cases it’s appropriate to start another thread.

In this case, for now I have taken your post out of the other thread into its own.

Our forum rules (linked at the bottom of all forum pages) say:

“For the time being, the Moderator Team have been asked to close any new discussions or debates involving Astarion's character ending (Ascension vs. Non-Ascension). This measure will be re-evaluated at a later date. Discussing the character and the general narratives surrounding him is acceptable as long as the discussion remains civil and respectful of all forum members.”

As moderators, we would assess any reports about new posts or threads and take a view whether they breach any rules including the above one, and when it comes to guidance on what’s permissible or not on these forums those rules are your best guide. But if you’re not sure whether a particular thread or post would be in breach and want additional guidance, you are welcome to PM one of the moderators with what you want to post and ask us for an opinion.
