My first warning?

[Liquid Blue]

Err... I think you guys are conflating two things. Money wasn't banned for the deleted thread.

What did happen is that said thread was what tipped him over into ban-territory, and considering the tone of the warning he received, it's ironic that DG banned him.

Shit I'm not complaining about the faggot being gone but this situation just makes everything that much sweeter.

If flagrant homophobia and slurs are allowed but talking about pussy isn't then it's not a problem of unclear rules it's merely a problem of unclear and biased enforcement.

And don't get me wrong, I have no problem with unclear and biased enforcement if the enforcer is generally accepted by the population of the forums, and the bias isn't personal, but rather, for the good of the zone. What's weird is that we had an admin that did that, and he was axed for doing something very similar to what DG did with that thread.

[Galleleo]

We are talking about DG here, after all.

[Liquid Blue]

Now to make this situation perfect is if she permbanned him.

Irony for everyone!

Let's not beat around the fucking bush here. DangerGirl felt it was inappropriate so rather than delete the post and close the thread she deletes it. This is obviously just something personal for her and nothing grounded in any sort of rules. If flagrant homophobia and slurs are allowed but talking about pussy isn't then it's not a problem of unclear rules it's merely a problem of unclear and biased enforcement.

DG probably has a problem because she is the "Meh Whatever Pussy."

Yeah, but they didn't delete your posts.

They took down that positively lovely picture of Xog and his I'll just say..friend.

[Facetious]

Yeah, but they didn't delete your posts. I guess what I'm really asking for is that when someone gets warned, maybe make a note of it in that post. "Money posted this (of course you don't have to use the words, Money's post could be summarized in a better way) and he got warned because it violates this." Just deleting the thread doesn't really provide us with any information as to what the rules are. If you could explain to me the benefit of hiding the rules from the population, that would be nice, I guess.

[Pummel]

Damn! My name got dragged into this!

Oh and Facet, I did get warned.

[Dameon Angell]

I can see if money actually posted pictures of the vaginas to accompany the words. But .... that whole "porn or disgusting shit" seems to be used in a very personal way (I thought it was disgusting, so I am deleting it), rather than a public way (Everyone thought it was disgusting, so I'm deleting it for everyone).

Which, then, as face said... if you enforce a rule like that .... there goes about 49% of all the forum threads

edit: also with you guys banning money, I cant figure out the mystery of where he was at in HL2, so thanks.... now I gotta wait until you guys feel like unbanning him.

[WuTang420]

i suggest we all make "FREE PUSSY" sigs lol

[Facetious]

It might have been something to do with the homophobia. But I dunno


EDIT: In fact...

Hi Money, posting about the "different kinds of pussy" is not appropriate for the Trench Wars forum and community. Please refrain from posting anything of the sort again.

Warnings serve as a reminder to you of the forum's rules, which you are expected to understand and follow.

All the best,
SSCU Trench Wars Forums

Yeah, I had read that. My point was that it seemed like an off the cuff warning due to something the admin took personally, as opposed to equal treatment for everybody.

[Cylor]

They're just trying to do a job nobody wants to and let's face it, Money being banned isn't going to piss off a lot of people. Yes it's a double standard and yes, it should be corrected in the future but I doubt anyone on forum staff is deliberately trying to pull one over on anyone. Very astute point, though, top drawer.
