at 4:51 PM, Friday May 9, 2008 EDT Well I just thought after sitting in a game with a moderator where I was being called a dumb fag with nothing being done about it.....maybe public announcements still needed to be made.
Is that not that bad because the word fag doesnt negatively affect everyone as well? |

at 7:43 PM, Friday May 9, 2008 EDT So why wouldn't you put that conversation up instead? People who say things like "fag" don't deserve any place in society, however if just-do-it was banned for that then i should have been banned a long time ago... Some people express themselves that way (like me) most of the time its not realy personal or as bad as it sounds and they will forget about it by the time they start the next game, so don't let it ruin your day, brush it off.

at 7:46 PM, Friday May 9, 2008 EDT by "that" i was referring to the conversation you posted, not saying the word fag. It was a little unclear so i figured i should clarify.

at 7:58 PM, Friday May 9, 2008 EDT I think you have to be open to a certain amount of disrespect on the internet - and especially from a game with a degree of luck. I certainly take my share of abuse on this site but I expect it.
There is a line that can be crossed however. I don't know what happened in this case but if it was just a few lines its acceptable. I draw the line if the abuse is persistent over a full game or between games - when it comes down to someones personality rather than a reaction to bad luck. |

at 7:59 PM, Friday May 9, 2008 EDT I should add that if there is someone that is consistent with this type of abuse, please report back so I or one of the mods can do something.

Way to go thought police....some might say that people who objectify women don't deserve any place in society as well. Anyone have a Dunhill? |

Ryan, perhaps you posted it and I missed it - who are the moderators? I'd like to know who the Death Eaters are! |

at 3:52 PM, Saturday May 10, 2008 EDT 1) I would have posted the previous conversation but I thought the fact that the moderator was in the room would have done something about it. It wasnt until later that I played the guy again that I realized nothing was done. Trust me, if i had that game recorded I would have been much more proactive about that incident.
2) I guess im just confused as to why someone needs to call me a dumb fag a certain number of times before it is considered inappropriate. My sexuality doesnt determine the way I play (most of the time, that I am aware of) so I dont see why I should expect to receive some abuse specifically attacking it "every once in a while." Your answer to moderating is employing a handful of people that have the ability to do who knows what. I like the idea, I just dont see the specifics of what is actually being done. In any case I feel that the line is crossed each and every time that I am called a fag for the way I play this game. 3) Thats one Kehoe, once I figure out how many times you have to call me that before its considered inappropriate abuse, I'll get back to so you know how many you have left. |
