Also since when does it count as a personal attack calling a thread gay? I didn't hear shit from you when they were giving Zura and Stormhowl the 3rd degree in here =/, and those WERE personal attacks.

I didn't like that either - but the moderators aren't paid, so I doubt we can complain to their Customer Service department and get satisfaction.

You are looking at the wrong rule. R&F is the place for personal attacks IF you can't resolve them any other way.

However, you used the word faggot and then added that by faggot you mean gay. So you basically shot yourself in the foot by admitting that you were using the word in the derogatory sense as opposed to just using it as slang.

The posts were never reported. Generally, the person being attacked would be the one to report it, so either they didn't care or opted out of R&F (good for them if they did).

Contrary to what you might think I don't read every post here and I tend to stay away from R&F for the most part. If things are brought to my attention and they break a rule then I do something about it. If they don't then I leave it alone. You could contribute a hell of a lot to the community by doing your part and reporting things as they occur. Or you can just fly off the handle like you're doing now.


This could have been handled as a private message but since you insisted, there you go.

Reporting people in RnF for doing RnF things would make me a hypocrite. So: hell no. Were this any other forum section I'd have shut up, but it makes little to no sense to enforce the Fisher Price Play Nice rules in a forum section specifically purposed for gross misconduct. People can opt out of this place so why not make it No Man's Land already?

These are not my rules.

There are plenty of ways you can get your point across without sounding like a bigot while doing so. Use your imagination.

This debate is over. If you don't like the rules you don't have to stay.

I don't hate gay people. I hate gay threads. It's hard to state an opinion or a fact when certain useful words are being censored, but whatever. Here, I'll try again:

Quote:
Electing we change the title of RnF to Retards and Fags, because lately these threads have been dumb and full of cancer.
"Fag" is also a a colloquialism for cigarette, you see. Hope this helps.

I totally agree with you which is why using either word independently from the other isn't a big deal.

Using one to describe the other negates the likelihood that you were referring to a tobacco product.

I did my best to be subtle because I knew what you meant. Hence why you don't see a deleted message and why I didn't even bother to give you a warning. The last thing I expected was for this to get blown out of proportion like this.

But you got your message quoted like 2 times now in the very same thread as well as an explanation. Not sure what else I can do for you.

Join in my push for an unmoderated RnF?
