NOTICE: Guilt Tripping and Guilt Shaming

It's regretful that this post needs to be made, but after recent events on these forums I am left with no other choice but to state what should have already been blatantly obvious, and create a rule:

Attempts to use Chester Bennington's death by suicide as a means of guilt-tripping or guilt-shaming people for having critical opinions of the band, or critical opinions of albums in their discography, will absolutely not be tolerated.

Many of our members on this forum struggle daily with depression and mental illness, and the loss of Chester has proven to be incredibly difficult for many people to handle. Attempting to shame people for not liking a certain album due to Chester's passing, is not only extremely harmful, but can also be potentially dangerous and/or triggering.

Let this be the first, and final warning. Infractions will be handed out for violations of this rule.
