Power-drunk mods

[wadi]

How the hell did this stay here so long. The forums are NOT the place to come with this, and even if they were I can not concieve of how you skipped half the board to drop this in GD when there are much more applicable forums to put it in. Your question about your ban was answered, you acknowledged it, end of story. If you have a complaint about a TW staffer, send it to complaints@trenchwars.org do not bring it to the forums.

Moved to Useless Crap.
Topic Closed.

I left pub 0 to check a couple other arenas. I came back, and something like this went down:

Oen Izan> oh great , its back
Ezor> hey
Ezor> go cook a jew and stfu :P
MODERATOR WARNING: Ezor, racism is an offense punishable by banning. -Erathia
Ezor> ban me then

Though we may have talking smack in common but the way I go about it, and you go about it are different. To be quite frank, Bill.. I would have reported you for saying that in pub chat, if I would have seen it. Which I didn't till I read this thread. If you must talk that gibberish at least PM that to me since staff has no jurisdiction over GREEN type. You see I may find alot of thangs funny but again I have a strange and warped sense of humor.
People are pushing the boundries alot as of late, on this topic. Which is why I think STAFF are so quick to do what they do. I on the other hand, have not used enthinicty, religion or country of origin as the basis of my *I stress MY* attempts at humoring myself outloud. If memory serves me correct , I have only had 1 ban in my going on 4 years in this game. For using 2 computers to hunt and kill cloaked weasels. Which btw I detest, so much in fact while I am fighting on roof, I will warn the other team of there presense.

Actually I'll just team up with Izor and bk and we'll Sharkterr to annoy the shit out of you newbs. I couldn't care less about Mexicans, Jews, blacks, any of that. I said what I said as a harmless joke to Oen, but apparently TW turned into a concentration camp sometime in the past week. GG.

[Subjugation]

when u get back, u should just say something negative about jews, mexicans, AND black people.

then everyone will think you are x-tra punk rox0rz.

[aussie]

Who cares, we've heard this before, shut the fuck up.

The first one is a warning. If you get a second warning soon afterwards, that gets you bumped up to an immediate ban. What, do you think you'll get unlimited chances, as long as you don't do anything until the mods go away?

[Ezor]

Then why bother with the warning? To make me think my previous warnings were null? You guys have no fucking clue what you're doing. GG newbs, see you on Sunday night. And don't think you've ruined my weekend. I'll cram three days' worth of hostility into three hours just for you, Spider. $$$

...sure, and it's also debatable that the word "race" is even legitimate. in the race and ethnicity class i took, they stressed the notion that contemporary sociologists reject the concept of race and instead utilize the concept of cultures. they say race is so debatable, they elect to classify it as a myth.

but the point is, it's only argument for attention's sake. he chose to play with fire and got served. he should be a man and stand by his decision to challenge authority instead of crying about it.

Heh

Ezor you deserve the ban and you know it. You wanted to be banned and then you make this big fuss? I think you just wanted attention.

As Troll King suggested Ezor was warned before. I warned him a few days ago for racism. We have a bot that logs all the warnings. I just checked it, heres what it said...

======================

(StaffBot)>Warnings for ezor:
(StaffBot)>Sun Feb 15 21:58:13: Ext: Spider (Public 1) to Ezor: *warn Racism is against the rules in TW. Making racially descriminatory comments or using racial slurs will result in a ban. This is non-negotiable.
(StaffBot)>Thu Feb 19 23:24:35: Ext: Erathia (Public 1) to Ezor: *warn Ezor: Racism is against TW rules and is punishable by banning
(StaffBot)>End of list.

======================

So there you have it, he was warned once before. The warnings only stay in that bot for 2 weeks. The rule is so long as there is a warning still listed in the bot banning is fair game. Erathia had the right.. no, the responsibility, to ban you. Tough nuggies Ezor! Cya in a couple days.

[Troll King]

No, but Jews are recognized as being a race by numerous definitions of the term. "Republican" however does not.

Here's a hint for you, Ezor, as long as you stick to the statement of getting banned without doing anything wrong after a warning, you're right. You'll come out of this the good guy. Keep on following the path of your last post and people will start wondering why you weren't banned earlier.

[Ezor]

If it's legal to ban me for demi-bashing Jews, then we should ban spinsanity for bashing Republicans. Same basic premise, right? Everyone has a hatred for some specific group out there, and at one point or another they make that hatred known. Too bad my revelation was a joke that Erathia was too power-drunk to recognize as such. GG.

[Troll King]

Dude, that's like saying "I can't be guilty of murder because I thought of my victim as being an animal rather than as a human being."

[shiftyeyesdogg]

Because he was banned on the grounds of racism, which is rather shaky wording.

I'm sure you've heard about the gay marriage thing being uncertain because there was a semicolon where it wasn't intended to be, which changed the meaning for the entire thing.

Trench Wars is ridiculous. Check my post on Veloce's board.

I'm sorry, but even if you truly believed this, how would this make things any less wrong?

[Ezor]

No legit warnings in about two weeks. My last one was for teamkilling a newb Jav who took me out. Anyway, the length of the ban is insignificant. Whether or not it's lifted before then, I'll be back at 6:30 tomorrow night and I can guarantee you I will be as colorful as ever with my remarks and demeanor. A ban by a power-tripper doesn't stop Ezor. Nothing stops Ezor. GG Erathia, you're in a power stupor.

And btw, shifty, you're right. Jews aren't a race. The dictionary defines a Jew as "an adherent of Judaism as a religion". And I'll be damned if TW is going to turn into ground zero for a religious war. Racism is one thing, anti-Semitism is another. If I had a dollar for every time someone insulted my religion and got away with it, I'd be able to retire. Defending one religion and ignoring the bashing of another seems pretty ridiculous. But hey, it's Trench Wars. What's NOT ridiculous around here?
