There are a lot of words here but I'm not sure what the argument you're trying to make with them is.

• Rules covering obvious crap are irrelevant 
  
• Throwing warnings at people for useless things that made some babby angry will likely be abused and end in unnecessary bans.
  
• I just flat out don't trust a majority of the mods whatsoever, not like it matters at all. 
  
• This is stupid and people should just not get all whiny over dumb things. Like what I'm contradicting myself with right now.

I threw money at a forum hoping to be able to discuss anything freely as so long as it falls under reasonable rules and guidelines and from what I read this is turning into the next Gamergate. Under what circumstances would posting in your signature another means to contact the user be wrong or even questionable. Especially when you can flat out put it in your profile. Triggers are just a means for sheltered folks to stay more sheltered and penned in their little safety box instead of accepting that there are things on the internet that they don't like. It's depressing and an unhealthy way with coping with what makes you uncomfortable. In addition, if there is a link to something like say, a five second audio clip related to the user's character (I'm obviously talking about my sig link), is that illegal? Do I need to tag it? Don't even try to disregard anything I say as argument bait either, because I'm actually pretty rustled by this and would want to toss in my five cents before I pop out to browse the less self-destructive threads on the forum. Serious shame for not going a week without some thread that will rustle some chump's tailfeathers. That's what the moderators should focus on. Get tighter on threads that erupt into things like this, because it just turns into a big shitstorm that causes users to quarrel among one another. 

But what do I know? I'm just a stupid teenager, right guys?

I think you've confused several arguments for another thread. The only real thing to talk about here is about what the moderation policies do, which is simply outline that, effectively, someone can't just be an ass to someone. Passively or agressively. This isn't an automatic moderation thing, as in the end it's up to the mods to make a verdict on any post that is reported.

As for your whole point on triggers. Not - really sure at all where you're coming from here. Because there's a huge difference between trying to censor conversation, and not wanting people who have yet to recover from scarred events to feel like utter garbage. Because, you know, that's also part of the whole 'don't be a dick' in the rules.

There are a lot of words here but I'm not sure what the argument you're trying to make with them is.

tl;dr

• Rules covering obvious crap are irrelevant 
  
• Throwing warnings at people for useless things that made some babby angry will likely be abused and end in unnecessary bans.
  
• I just flat out don't trust a majority of the mods whatsoever, not like it matters at all. 
  
• This is stupid and people should just not get all whiny over dumb things. Like what I'm contradicting myself with right now.

• Rules that were there from teh get go, that you agreed to follow and abide by. That aparently need to be there to stop certain groups of people from being assholes, as aparently some people can't help themselves.
  

• Report=/=warning. As has been stated many times.
  

• If you don't trust the mod team, why are you here?
  

• You don't get to decide if the thing someone is whining about is dumb or not, they may very well have a legitamate concern that you are unaware of.

• Obvious, and what people refer to as being an asshole is objective, some people have paper skin.
  
• Likelihood of being misused is the concern.
  
• Key word: majority
  
• Objective again.

• If you ever run literally anything ever at some point in your life, you will quickly discover that you absolutely, positively have to write rules covering "obvious crap" because there are people who can't tell the difference between "telling it like it is" and being a "tryhard edgelord douchebag" and those people will turn up their nose and complain about being oppressed or somehow having their First Amendment rights stripped if they're held to unwritten rules of basic etiquette.
  
• See my first point because wow.
  
• Then leave.  This is not a public forum.  This is a service provided to you at the leisure of the people who manage it.
  
• See my first point.
  
• Just quoting you for the last point:
