TheRealFluttershy Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 In the community known as HG, you are unable to say a word that in any way could POSSIBLY be determined as offensive to anyone. Using this logic, it is safe to say that words like "Retard", and "Fag", are not allowed. Being banned for "racism" when using a word that is nowhere near racist in meaning, Its kind of ridiculous. I seriously don't know what to make of this incident, It disgusts me that admins can be so intolerant to some members, but let other members get off the hook for much worse offences. Please explain how this, in any way, is fair. Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4ithl3ss Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 So we should allow people to toy with racism? Noted, thanks for the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealFluttershy Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 It wasn't toying with racism at all. If anything, It was everyone else in the server talking about knitting. But whatever, your decision is apparently final, however wrong anyone may think it is. Misinterpretation of a word leads bans. Noted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awwik Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Its not misinterpretation, they were using words that were close to the actually words instead of the real words to get the same meaning. I know its long and annoying but you cannot use that language on our servers. When you say something like that in place of the actual word you will be banned.

Why don't you drop the attitude, we've been doing this for years, we've seen what has happens in situations like this, and it's never good.

dorito^ Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 It's as simple as this fluttershy - Don't say something that sounds anything similar to a racist word. I think we should get this locked before any shit goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealFluttershy Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 This is truly saddening. The whole idea that a complete misunderstanding leads to such harsh punishment. Whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should get this locked before any shit goes down. It's not this at all, it's when people say things such as, "i hate knitters" or "dirty knitters" The intent of statements like this is clear, to be racist without actually using a racist word. If you see no problem with doing this, you must be retarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealFluttershy Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 Who said that? I know Stan didn't? Stan was banned for using a word which means stingy, He never said knitters. If you read his unban request, hes states this clearly, and if you watch the demo, you will see he didn't partake in the whole "knitters" thing.

Awwik Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 You are right he said something much worse, he said the n word blatantly and I banned him. Do me a favor and get the facts before you post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The_Monkey Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Banned. Crossing a fine line, and toying with racism, will result in your ballsack being pulled through your bowels, through your intestines, through your stomach, up your esophagus, and out of your mouth. Then, your inverted ballsack shall be lit on fire using gasoline. You crossed that line. Enjoy your charred inverted ballsack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
