I don't care what they think. Neither should you.

So... why can't people play X-Cards on threads at TBP? HMMMMM?

  What do you think the Reporting function is for?

Quote from: VincentTakeda;1104066I consider it a badge of honor. I'm all about open discourse, but in order to engage in it you have to have some thick skin and a spine.[...]

You stuck to your guns and you didn't pull any punches or soften your principles or sensibilities for the mod squad, which is worthy of recognition. I doubt any hearts and minds there have been moved (those that weren't already, in any case) but it was good of you to try to crack open the door to open and honest discussion and highlight the hypocrisy involved.

BTW I love their new points system.

-50,000 POINTS TO GRYFFINDOR!

But playing the X-Card is performative! Reporting a thread? That misses the whole point! LOL

Yeah, wtf is that about and how is it even supposed to work? I sort of doubt there are mods are nickle-and-diming people with single-digit penalties ("ah, yes, poor punctuation... that'll be three points!"?) considering they basically just immediately permaban anyone they feel like for any number of arbitrary reasons.

Maybe it's as simple as the big number making their peepees tingle more each time they hit their big red b& button...

  Apparently, it's something built into the board software that they 'have to use' for Permabanning, but not for lesser infractions.

That's... interesting. Odd how many limitations and peculiarities TBP's site has (according to the staff, at least).

That reminds me of a quote.

Quote from: ScroogedFrank: Claire, fire these people!

Claire: Fire them?

          They're volunteers. They're here out of kindness.

Frank: Because no one will PAY them!

Claire: It's Christmas Eve.

Frank: They're like this every day, I guarantee it!

Quote from: remial;1103978what is the problem  with gnomish kings?

Let me explain... No, there is too much. Let me sum up.

This just in: calling a HR-style document a HR-style document (and the issues it might cause) gets you an infraction.



Then again, this is a forum which has just permaed some other guy who criticised the sacred thesis of Cultural Appropriation.

That was especially hilarious. I can't wait for the next rpg.net mod to get #metoo'ed.

I was banned for spamming. Total number of posts ever made on rpg.net=1 with no. 2 causing the ban. That's spamming?

To quote the esteemed sages of Steel Panther, "fuck those fucking fuck heads."

Most especially, fuck Monte Cook.

Remember kids...you always vote with your wallet. If you support "Consent in Gaming", then keep giving your money to Monte.

But if you don't support freakshow politics being shoved into our hobby, then stop giving this asshole your dollars.

Silent Dissent = Silent Acceptance.

Quote from: S'mon;1103599The D&D table is for playing D&D, not a mutual support group.

That's way too radical S'mon!! :eek:

Quote from: Trond;1103616"thanks for filling out the consent form. Now everyone, calculate your anal circumference"

LOL!!!

Quote from: Mankcam;1103674Honestly, why does this book exist?

Because the RPG community allowed and tolerated freaks invading our hobby.

As some of these freaks had boobies and vajayjays, too many RPGers thought this shitshow was going to resolve differently.

But they were wrong. Freaks of either gender are nothing but trouble to be shunned.

Quote from: Razor 007;1103735There is no X card at my table.

I should try it out....

When a player taps it, I double down on whatever was triggering them until they break.

Perhaps SJW tears are the key to the Elixir of Immortality!

Quote from: Melan;1104124Yeah, a clever lobbying effort could easily make something like this mandatory at con games - and the bigger cons would fold pretty much immediately. A good moral panic can make it "the law of the land" in short order.

So be it.

Then "Danger Cons" could rise in direct rebellion to this idiocy.
