Political Bans In Metal Gear

[Stabwound]

HAHAHAHAHHAH FIGHT THE POWER!!!!

Arguing about your rights in a free online game. Why don't you go do something constructive? I mean, seriously. What a waste of energy. Zone staff can do local bans for any reason they want. You do not have freedom of speech on a private game server.

All you do is troll. 90% of the people in the game are either under the age of 16 AND/OR do not give a shit about US politics. Spamming and fighting like you do could be (and is) considered disruptive.

I suggest you go here: www.fark.com - Pick any topic about Katrina, Bush, or politics and go to town with the hundreds of people that are just like you.

In short: this is a FREE, PRIVATE ONLINE SPACE GAME that is full of children. Go argue your stupid bullshit where there are people that care.

spinsanity doesnt copy and paste...he simply talks...just because he says a full sentence its spamming? or is it because its a full sentence or 2 about politics? there is no reason to ban spin....

btw and floydian (ex) around? heheheh.

anyway yea he isnt breaking any rules...can someone tell me what exactly they are if he is? this is ridiculous...you guys cant ban everyone just for talking about somthing they want to talk about...

[Troll King]

Unless he's toned it down recently (no pun intended), he's spammed more than just 2 at a time.

[Guest]

its still not spam though...he just responds to people responding to him.

[Troll King]

In my experience he usually never responds but continues to type more. He simply talks on and on and I'd call that spam.

[PH]

He does respond, TK. If you consider him saying your name prior to launching his spam a response anyway.

No.

His spam is not there to "enlighten" people or to present a poltical discussion. All he does is repost left wing site slogans with the hopes of insighting anger in our population, it's too much bullshit to deal with on a game in my opinion. It is spam because he is not responding to people and it isn't about real poltics, only anti-bush crap. I and a lot of people are pretty liberal but it isn't right to be doing what he's doing in game and on this forum.

The reason rules exist Trancetunes is so we don't have to deal with spam or other lines of text/actions that have a great negitive impact on the zone and on the network. SSC, MG, testtube and TW, all don't have to justify anything but don't act like he's not having a negitive impact here. The fact is Spinsanity is cuasing a problem. Whether the problem is outlined in zone or network rules does not matter, you have no rights on SSC or in TW at all, what makes you think you have the right to be annoying?


Again, the Nazi thing is over done and offensive to the constuct of a forum. Please stop.

Edit: Yes you could counter with "but if there's no rule how would he know not to do it". Well 4 months of explaining that his macros were considered spam.... if that isn't enough then I don't see what a specific "no political macros and spam" rule would do.

Iraq has lost 100,000 people, Hitler killed more, but you will find that both went after people in that same region.

Both used terrorism to kick off their campaign. In the case of Hitler, he staged a terrorist attack and blamed it on Jews that were commies. In the case of bush, the only thing for a fact is that he may not of staged it, just saw it coming.

Both used that excuse to start homeland security, and patriot act laws.

how about you get ur ami shit out of our history and get ur stuff straight first? any serious left wing punk extremist would punch you in the face here in oversea for these "theories".

I have seen two seperate studies both say that 100,000 iraq civilians died in the war(*1). both these studies were covered by various mainstream news soruces including new scientist, CNN, CBS, NBC. both came to the same conclusion. add to that the iraq body count project, which counts something like over 20,000 last time i checked, and those 20,000 are only deaths reported in the media. being that many reported in the media alone makes the 100,000 number even more conceivable.

hitler staged the reichstag fire to support start the war. 9/11 was like the reichstag fire and pearl harbor. project for the new american century (think tank that formed in 1997 and many of its members are now the current administration) said in 2000 that a pearl harbor like event was needed to support action in middle east in a paper they called 'rebuilding americas defences(*2). it reminds me of operation northwoods where in 1962 the joint chiefs of staff wanted to hijack planes and fly them into buildings in order to gain public support for a war on cuba, good thing kennedy wouldnt allow it(*3). this is problem-reaction-solution, an age old tactic that governments have been using throughout history in order to minipulate the people into their agenda.

so spin is not talking about imaginative "theories" like you make it out to seem. and people of all political viewpoints know these facts, not "punk leftwing extremeist" this is not about opinions or viewpoints. these are the facts of what is going on.

In a move that can only be construed as facist and racially-motivated, I have decided to close this thread. Simply put, it's not ever going to go anywhere.

People who don't like Spinsanity are going to continue to not do so--I don't see him winning anyone over outside of people who already think he's the bee's knees.

On the other hand, people who like him aren't going to start disliking him through this venue either. God knows why there's anyone in this group--I fail to see his saving graces, but maybe I'm just blinded by The Man's propoganda machine. Then again, I do just fine.

The facts remain (and Spinsanity, you should at least respect the facts if you truly are this "defender of freedom"):

1. This thread is about MG, and has nothing to do with TW. Therefore, henceforth, I couldn't give a shit. This forum may be called "General Discussion", but it's also inside a container called "SSCU TRENCH WARS FORUMS". In the same vein that we don't allow people to bitch about why they got banned for spamming the n-word in pub 1, we don't allow people spamming inane crap about how they got banned somewhere else for doing something that could be considered questionable in the first place. Note the wording below "General Discussion" on the main page--"anything outside the realm of the game that concerns the average forum goer". Chances are, most people here couldn't give two shits about MG (no offense Testtube, most of us are just happy with this zone).

2. If you troll these forums in the future, you will be banned here too. Start all of the political discussions you want, as long as you're the one starting them. If you hijack a thread with your stupid Photochops I'll personally dig deep into your digital rectum and do some exploratory surgery. Obey the forum rules. This forum has nothing to do with America, so none of us will think twice about shutting you down if you step out of line.

A small note for the other forum-goers: I'm assuming that since this thread is shut down, Tone, Spinsanity and T-dub (remember that thread? that was fucking genius) may start up some politicized thread elsewhere. If you don't like what they're saying, don't read or post in it. We want to give everyone here equal access as long as they're not being shits about it. There is a forum ignore button and you should feel free to use it.

On that note, THREAD CLOSED. - Conc
