Subject: C'mon man....

Posted by: spartain ken 15
I have been banned for saying less offensive things in threads.

Ehh, it is not my decision to make but what that guy said was not appropriate and I hope he got a warning to not be so offensive.
That's entirely subjective, and a downside to human moderation. Every person interprets things differently. Yes, his opinion is on an entire different spectrum in terms of compassion, which is generally showed in those kinds of instances, that everybody is shell shocked that someone said it but he hasn't said anything offensive. It's not a written rule (therefore enforceable) that "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it all".

Just because you don't think it's offensive doesn't mean others are of the same opinion. Stop and think a minute before you post and think how it could be interpreted. If you have any suspicion that it may be taken the wrong way it's probably the wrong thing to say.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

I didn't see any rules being broken. I saw a guy posting his opinion. He wasn't flaming anyone. He was being a jerk by some standards, but not to anyone here. I don't care what he thinks about some video. He has a right not to like it, and say so on the forums. I don't ban solely for making controversial statements. If you're offended, fine, report him as you did. don't expect everyone to agree with you though.

If I had to ban people for being a jerk to people who aren't even on this site, I'd have to ban like a million people for talking crap about Justin Bieber (I don't care how you spell his name) or Marshal Mathers or the CEO of Activision. I know there's a difference between talking down public figures and some poor kid on a youtube video. That its a popular youtube video though, makes them more similar than different.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I thought it was offensive but whatever, it got reported, the mods think it fine, eh. I still think though that it is not cool to say offensive stuff on serious videos like that but it isn't bannable.

Why did you find it offensive?

Honestly. Do you know the kid? It just seems as if you're only taking offence to the comment because you've been banned for something similar in the past, and he wasn't - Which is obviously the wrong reason to ban someone.

Now I am saying it is not that big of a deal anymore. It is evident from what everyone is saying.

Maybe he lost someone in a similar way? Who knows, and it's pretty irrelevant.

I would have locked the thread on behalf of having no discussion value. Just look at the replies, seven pages and no one is discussing anything. There are a few RIP posts, people complaining about other people not showing respect, random stories about similar events etc. Is that what we're coming here for, to dwell in sad stories and post RIP?

So no, I don't think the guy the OP is refering to is more guilty than anyone els in that thread. Better threads have been deemed as spam so if they're going to nail him they better nuke the entire thread for being spam.

And FYI, I would have locked this thread too and banned the OP for bringing up such a trivial matter in public. I'm aware the the "no posts regarding individual members" rule is gone but since when is it ok to discuss individual mod decisions in here?

Lock this thread? Yes, I would lock it, simply because these threads going "HERP DERP WHYD U LAWK THIS" or, as elmicker managed to do, "DOI THINGS THAT AINT CRICKET", are getting annoying and really don't have a place here. We can't answer the question at hand, so there's no point in leaving them here.

I wouldn't ban the OP, though, simply because that's just unnecessary.

On-topic: Uh, erm, uh, -blam!-, I don't even know. That was a mean comment. Tsk tsk.

I don't think the comment was mean. It was his opinion and regardless of how nasty it may seem, he had a right to post it.

If you display something in the public domain then you are asking for people to give you some form of feedback, positive or negative is irrelevant.

If you don't want to hear or read nasty things, don't open yourself to the public domain.

There is a reason why our forums have rules about discussing religion and politics and things of a sensitive nature...

  • 12.29.2011 8:42 PM PDT

I agree, but I thought it was a mean comment. That's all I said. He totally has the right to be an ass in front of everyone if he wants too. I get that.

We miss you Logan.
Ask any question. I'll help with anything on site or off.

Were the any rules broken? I didn't see anything.

Posted by: spartain ken 15
Them Mythics have perks.

They can't be banned.

But, perhaps a mod didn't find it rule breaking. Sure it is a douchey thing to say but it doesn't really break the rules. But I too am surprised he isn't banned.


I don't think he deserves a ban.

  • 12.29.2011 10:07 PM PDT

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

I honestly don't see a problem with what was said. He didn't care and he shared that he didn't care. Maybe a little harsh but what rule did he break?

  • 12.29.2011 10:20 PM PDT

People can't be banned for simply not having a heart.

  • 12.29.2011 10:37 PM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Hurt feelings are not grounds for a ban.

I thought one of the rules was to not be a jerk? :)
But I agree with you, it was only his opinion.

I just noticed in my own comment that it appeared as though I was having a go at you. This was not the case :)

OT: I still don't think it was that mean though, the original comment that is. I feel my point remains valid, but I see that you also have a valid point too.

There's a reason it's not censored. Ass.

You do realize that because it is still hidden, that means the report has not been seen or handled by a ninja.... yet.

So, your evaluation is (and complaint) is premature.

But don't worry. I hear that it happens to a lot of guys.

I thought it was hidden regardless of the ninjas ruling if it had enough reports. Which apparently seems to be the case since it's still hidden and I'm sure it's been handled by a ninja by now.

Him being an ass is completely subject to opinion.

I just saw him as posting his opinion. Now please, this has already been resolved so stop bumping this thread...

This is bull. I understand Ninja's try to be fair but the fact that Recon here saw his post, and that Mythic still isn't banned is ridiculous

I didn't care for the video either, TBH. The comment about how he was pathetic was too far for me, but I would have just used a different word.

I would have said "This video is beyond retarded."

I agree it was distasteful but it's still his opinion and well, he is allowed to state it.
