Honestly, I think Splat gets a lot of leniency BECAUSE of how mean people are to him. Like that one kid in school that does something bad, but the teachers see him getting picked on every day so they kinda just ignore it and let it slide because he has it rough enough already.
Of course, this isn't helped by the fact that when he does do something against the rules everyone sits in his thread insulting him rather then just pushing 'report' and getting on with their lives.
In sixth grade a bunch of kids were doing stuff to me when I was doing quiet things, reading a book or drawing, so they got in trouble. But as soon as I called a fat girl fat, I wasn't allowed to go to the ice cream party later that day.
