That's his choice, fair enough.

I get confused who is male/female/black/white with the name changes and this doesn't help with context.
That said, since you Americans can't gamble I understand it's a fun element added to fights
I put my stats under my name for you. M/W/F. Married white female. Lol

I can understand all this. But the feature is there, what is one to expect. I have seen the bar analogy in here somewhere, don't serve drinks and expect people to stay sober. Stick with orange juice :)

Same for using coarse language, don't allow it if some of the words may sting you. Now a bad, offensive word becomes subject to interpretation. The word "fuck" can be just as offensive as the word "f*ggot" or "c*nt" or worse. To allow one over the other is hypocritical. It depends on who is reading it. We can determine as adults what commonly is regarded as a racist slur, and sexist to a point. But there is a large grey area that cannot be addressed that simply. The mature thing to do from a readers perspective is to ignore, as one would do in a real life situation I'd assume.

What really needs to be considered in all this is consistency, context, and intent. That goes for language, name changes, jokes, etc.
No one said stay sober. We said don't shit on the floor. Big difference.

This part is for the whole thread. Did anyone get singled out? Anyone? Rhetorical. No one did.

Again, this is a don't shit on the floor sign, and i'm pretty damn disappointed in some of the responses in this thread.

Nothing follows.

Soooo, hemorrhage gets a pass with racist remarks?

Because we all know he is joking? New members don't. So now mods get to interpret intent?

Wild @Wild , Splinty @Splint

(Sorry, splint. I know you are trying to enjoy life but this is a fucked up precedent being set here. Surely you can see this.)

And as far as asking for explanations of members being pinked. That's how we learn where our boundaries are. Which apparently are different for some.

sparkuri @sparkuri did, Alien. Which is the most fucked up part. He made a thread about believing their should be gender roles adhered to. Which I totally agree with and feel it is a clear and present danger for our society( especially our kids) I'm glad he brought it up. He clearly wasn't hating on women.

The biggest complaints on this thread were that we were making a big deal out of modding and should just get on with it. That's what we're doing. The boundaries are in the TOS.

sparkuri @sparkuri wasn't singled out. I think you're being over sensitive. Yes an example from his thread was used but it was quashed within the thread.

Yup, the standards are posted. Everyone knows what they are. If they don't follow them that's their choice. Moving on now.

I think this is a great thread. It provokes conversation, and that's what forums are for.

Not really. People may not realise it but we're all pretty much on the same page. Don't be racist or sexist etc and don't be a douchebag. Look at people who have actually been pinked or banned and it's for very clearly excessive violations of that principle.

But you didn't address this to those people. You addressed it to ALL of us.

Alright listen the fuck up people.

Orders from the top are as follows:
We are not to engage in further threads and warnings such as this. We are to mod according to the rules. That is the end of it.

This is correct. We state clearly in the TOS that moderating is subjective and we're never going to please everyone. The last couple of days are a perfect example of why we put that in there.

I'm off to the gym and then pick up my kids. Try not to kill one another homies.
