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.

God I hate the fake professionalism of mods sometimes. Like they earned a moderating nobel prize, are so qualified to do the job they wrote several reference encyclopaedias on the topic, or even better, are some types of judges with a Law degree. Makes me laugh. "We are considering your request", "your ban is under Appeal." LOL

Quote from: RPGPundit;414749Yup. Maybe it should be reported. Its damaging our chance to make all three sites now involved an emotionally safe environment.

(note that of course, I'm not bothered by the fact that Levi did this, but by the fact that another poster could not do this; that if someone who posts to theRPGsite, say One Horse Town, had done this, the RPG.net modclique would ban his ass immediately, but with one of their own they will give license to act with impunity)

What you're forgetting is that none of this took place at RPGnet, so you'd be laughed out of court.

As i pointed out almost immediately, it is rank hypocrisy on Levi's part, but RPGnet as a forum wasn't involved - just one of the mods.

RPG.net has previously banned posters for things they did on other forums.

Quote from: Benoist;414738incite people to come here and create an entertaining shitstorm for him to watch.

You read that as incitement?

Huh.

I wrote it as a kind of commentary on how twisted this kind of fighting makes us all. - "motivated by puffed-up indignation, raw spite, scorn, and some kind of ideological loyalty" - including me.  As an admission that I'm bent enough to enjoy fighting over the Forge-not-Forge stuff, even revel in it, but not so bent that I can't see how it is shitty, and how it brings us all down.  He decided not to come partly because he read as I wrote it.

Seriously, all through this thread, I've expected to be called a twisted fuck, which would be fair.  I've pretty much been saying "Hey, I'm bent, there it is".

Instead, I'm being written as a hypocritical inciter.  It's really odd.

Half a dozen one way, six the other, you are still a turd.

What lack of presence you must have in real life.

Totally. You were even giddy about it. You posted as much on this very site.
You couldn't wait for the shitstorm to come. You had the popcorn ready and all!

So yes, you are being such a hypocrite right now.
It's not "odd." It's just the plain truth.

It isn't that odd once you see the evidence posted in this thread that gives supporting proof to the hypocritical inciter charge.

Face it, you've managed to outsmart yourself this time and been caught.

And for now on, no matter what he says, everyone will always take it as bullshit because he is, clearly, full of it. That is sad. Go change your screen name turd.

Hm.  Given that you don't consider enjoying these kinds of arguments to be a weakness, that follows.

That's...   A rather different view than I have.   It also explains a fair bit, to me, about why you hate the moderation on RPGnet.  I mean, reading ugly fights and even enjoying the trainwreck, but still shutting them down when that's how it works, that's a usual thing for me, and a thing I agree with.  And if that kind of thing smells like hypocrisy to you, then vast swathes of what I think are likely going to smell the same.
