Quit making up bullshit rules then trying to drop the banhammer for them

[Ricko]

I see no issue with boobs banners, and IMO they are the only boobs people like Renzi will ever see so we should allow them. The obvious banners to me that shouldn't be allowed are ones with the N word or as stated the swastika. Us going HAM over a boobs banner is just too much.

Nobody was banned or "almost got banned". Yes, a warning was issued over it but I cancelled them out before I went to sleep. I didn't want to ban anyone and made that very clear to you and others. I was doing what I could to avoid it and ultimately did exactly that. The stated policy up until Demonic made this annoucement here was that those types of banners were in violation of our Pornographic Policy, which is an umbrella term that encompasses a variety of material, including female breasts. It's not a question of being "offended" as I could care less; however, because of directives I had received from my higher ups in recent months about these situations, I was acting pursuant to that, and in good faith.

I've told you over a thousand times now to use fukin discretion on a case by case basis instead of strictly interpreting the rules. The fact that you even warned the guy to begin with is the problem here. You removing his warning is not relevant at all. Knockers hasn't played this game in years and right after he decides to log on he gets harassed by a mall cop like you over a banner. Retarded decisions like this from staff is the main reason player activity has digressed throughout the years. This is a prime example of it.

I do not recall this decision being made anywhere, nor a memo to staff about it being sent.
So by that, pps can have a swastika bajner if its not obviously a swastika? Like using a nearly black on top of another black is perfectly fine then, as long as its not obviously there?
What is the TW staff definition of Obvious? Because whats obvious to one isnt obvious to all. So are we just leaving this to subjectivity then?

Its a matter of common sense. If you truly understand the community then you wouldn't have to even question these things. Guess this is what happens when random faggots from dsb become staff in TW.

demonstrating right here staffs' inability to implement common sense in their decisions. 13 yr old retards.

[renzi]

need to start having a minimum age requirement for staff

This reasoning from shadow also shows why hes not fit to have any power on the forums as well. Remove them please dem.

[kthx]

Lol I was still logged into that account on my phone, oops. I am the one who wants shadows forum powers removed. Goid ban btw.

If I really cared, you wouldnt have been posting.

[idkidc1233]

If zone staff were shit then they would be abusing their powers for what they want. That's 13 year old shit.

[Izor]

If I really cared, you wouldnt have been posting.

And if I really cared you wouldnt be forum staff. You shouldnt be anyways. But you couldnt stop me from posting either way too many friends who have quit for you to really do much unless you want to try banning all incoming connections from proxies which wouldnt be good anyways so.

mall cop sighting

[Wazzaaa.nl]

at least shaddow is always fair
he never sucks higher staff dicks to get higher up
he's always objective, which is hard to find these days
never seen this guy powertrippin or something
and makes his judgement based on what is right and the rules
so hes prob 10x a better staffer than most of the idiots on staff atm

[Crescent Seal]

isn't really saying much when looking at staff looooooool

Considering even our most advanced nation-states are unable to come up with working, objective rules, I am pretty sure that yes, some things will have to be left to subjectivity.

It seems like the less TW needs alot of rules, the more TW keeps trying to rewrite and reimplement rules.

However, the problem isn't with rules. Because if there's a rule banning "offensive or discriminatory behavior", a BAD moderator will abuse or misinterpret that rule to their own ends. A GOOD moderator will enforce the rules and if he's a good moderator, the community will generally stand behind them. Bad moderation leads to threads like this.

The missing element here is trust, and TW staff severely lacks it. We can't trust TW staff to enforce rules in a manner consistent with the will of the public and higher authorities.
