This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Where's the line?

So walkerp won the ban that was inteded for me...? Wasn't the whole thing planed as banbait for walkerp...? It looks like that.

Anyway to quote myself

Bye!

So where's my fucking ban...?:confused: Do you lack the balls it take to ban me...?:pundit: What did walker do to get banned before me...? :eek:Wasn't this whole thing made in order to ban me instead of walkerp...?:mad:

I DEMAND MY BAN!

So does this count as the RpgSite's first flameouts?  (since Nox and MythusMage looked to be on borrowed time the moment they arrived)

It's regrettable, but I'm still kind of shocked they felt the need to flame out over a subject that is nearly universally reviled.  What's next, a couple of posters start posting in sympathy for holocaust-deniers?

I think Pundit tried to do the right thing here with the topic ban.  It's one of those subjects you really, really don't want your site associated with and is bound to be disruptive because it will offend half the people here.  And frankly, for those two to continually post such ignorant, and even dangerous* statements, well I just can't imagine how they weren't being a bit intentionally disruptive over it.  And the fact that both of them seemed to take the topic ban as a ticket to martyrdom seems to confirm that.

So why haven't anyone banned me...? walkerp started discussionin fucking politics subforum, because ti clearly was political issue and he go banned for that.

I am convinced, that there is no such topic that should not be discussed. That "ignorance is streng" thing, that your Warhammer 40k rulebook told you don't apply to real world.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;258408I'm with you, mate.

But on the other hand, this whole nonsense started in the roleplaying forum...

Yech don't remind me...

Anyhow I'm not sure pedophillia is really the problem.  The question was one of the difference between thought and deed.  Whether pedophillia when not acted upon is a THOUGHT CRIME.

And, I know that in the philosophical basis of our laws in most of the western world you just can't prosecute people for bad thoughts.

On the other hand I got through only two and a half pages of the Carcosa thread before being so disgusted that I changed my mind about censorship.

WalkerRP had "the balls" to post outside of this thread. Please, Fritzs, have the balls.

Unless I recall incorrectly, neither of those people is actually banned.

RPGPundit: What the fuck, I've allready broken the "topic ban" by saying "Pedophilia FTW" in this specific thread. It seems like you are bending your own statements in my favor.

So you actually like me around there... then I have to ask: Don't you fell some twisted sexual desire towards shit I am posting there? Really, I can see no other reason for not banning me. I even asked you to get banned. Ban me! Do it!

Yup, that'll do it just fine, Fritzs. Thank you, honestly, for making it blatantly obvious that you were going to keep right on disrupting this site, in a way that makes it absolutely clear that you could not be allowed to continue being here.

I am deeply pleased, giddy even, at this particular banning. You were never on here for any reason other than to attack me, you were a fucking waste of space. Now you can go back to whatever hole you crawled out of.

Quote from: CavScout;258406That you'd throw you lot in with a friend of pedophiles says something....
And this is a perfect example of what I meant.  That last RPGsite dust-up over at RPG.net a couple of months back brought over Tangency dregs like this whose only goal is to ratchet up conflict, and now we're seeing the bannings we were told would never happen.

This site is rapidly shedding what little moral superiority it has over RPG.net.

Losing walker is a tremendous blow for the forum's quality, since he was a valued, frequent poster with interesting opinions on many subjects, both RPG related and otherwise.

Fritzs' topic ban and ban were stupid and silly, especially considering that he was not advocating or praising illegal or unpopular acts, merely attempting to explain them (Poorly, but that's beside the point). The argument was stupid, but it was no more stupid than half the other discussions that happen on the site. Considering the bad blood between Fritzs and Pundit, this seems more like score-settling than a justified ban.

So are both Fritzs and walkerp completely banned from the site? Let's not get carried away here. Just let them continue posting in the rpg sections, but ban 'em both from Off Topic for a while, at least until they settle down, and come back to their senses. It must be a full moon. There's weird shit going on lately...

Edit: Oh, wait. They were topic-banned, and posted outside of it. Or at least Fritzs did. Ooops..:(

http://www.therpgsite.com/showthread.php?t=12312&page=3

Edit Number Two: I now see that Fritzs was begging for a banning, and you had no other recourse but to ban him. But I still think a banning for walkerp is overkill. He just needs to be prevented from going into Off Topic for a while, until he cools off. Well, that's my two cents...

Edit Number Three: You know what? Couldn't we just tell Fritzs to stop being a twat, and leave it at that? Maybe he'll drop this nonsense, and focus on the rpg stuff again. Or am I being naive?
