The Moderation Complaint Thread

[HalfSwiss]

The internet is getting too serious for me. That's why I like OFT so much, you get to be a little immature and it's fun.

There are rules for a reason. Attacking and insulting members causes a hostile environment which turns many people away. It will not be tolerated.

WOAHWHAT, Now I actually do care.

What if he actually is being an idiot though? C'mon, it's Ienzo.

Stop, now.

Yes, VGBoxart isn't the only forum that exists on the internet. Back to OFT with you.

But I've been on here four four and a half years, I'm physically dependent on this site.

No not really I just don't want to leave. Because idk why.

No brainer really, you've got friends and memories here, not that easy.

[Spiderpig24]

I think the arguing about derogatory language has gone on just about enough. It's been established several times that the rule has been in place for some time and will always be in place, only now the rules will be enforced. Any other discussion about this topic can go to PM's, end of discussion here. Just don't use racial or flagrant terms and you won't have to worry about anything. Only reiterating what stevencho posted above, first are warnings and then there are further actions.

Exactly

You're right in saying that this rule has always existed, but even with mods, it was much more lax. It's being reinforced a little TOO heavily. LK or Drakxxx or whoever used to not really care if you said fag, they were much more chill. @Cho, like I said, stop being so uptight about everything, it's just the internet, no need to be so serious.

You're rewriting history. Drakxxx most certainly did not allow fag. He was also against the use of the term 'retard'. Nothing has changed. Me and Spider and just enforcing the rules again.

I don't know, maybe you're right. It's been so long since we've had mods that I don't even remember. Well whatever, for the purpose of not contradicting my previous statement about the internet just being the internet, I'll just drop it. I'm sorry if I offended anyone, including you Cho. It won't happen again.

Who's up for a rousing game of "How Far Can We Push the New Mods?" Oop, looks like everyone's started without me!

Reinforced too heavily? You mean, reinforced at all, dontcha? If we didn't need to enforce rules for the sake of the entire group, we surely wouldn't need moderators. And we have been in need of moderation for some time now.

I don't think stevencho or SP are acting too seriously. They have just now taken on the jobs of moderating a forum full of mostly teenagers, who are generally rebellious and unruly in nature.

Is it too much to ask that you give these two gentlemen a chance to get settled in before you start in on their moderating styles?

We can all see who edited that Maxx.

This is still going on? Okay...

Don't drag me into this, Mario! -moonwalks away slowly-

[tmrd]

And @tmrd, or those who say they're offended by it, grow up. Stop being so emotional.

I'm sorry if I get offended by a word that almost drove one of my best friends to suicide.
Seriously, you need to learn that just because you dont get offended by something, doesnt stop it being offensive.

I think they understand that, at this point they just want to know what makes it offensive, and this simply isn't the place for that. Google is.

I think a debate thread would work. But, Google, what?

You can Google why that word is offensive. It's not even up to debate, it is for a fact offensive to someone. Whether it should be is another thing entirely.

Here is a link that was provided on the very first page while Googling for all those who truly want to know why it's offensive to some: http://www.mabeltalk.com/2011/01/why...d-even-if.html
