SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

TBP, hungry to ban users, is banning users for off-site behavior.

I don't doubt it, but which post?
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Yep yep. Well, they're welcome to their message board of ash. I'm only in it to see how Lord of the Flies it gets before the site implodes like the house in Poltergeist.

I wouldn't hold my breath: NeoGAF has been going for ages.  So has SomethingAwful.  RPGnet is going to be the sick man of RPG gaming forums for a long, long, long time.

  I could be wrong, but wasnt Black hat matt one of the white knights for all things female?  i suppose over there all the mods may be, I just remember having a contentious discussion about Gary Gygax being a raging sexist (because he had human female ST limit at 18/50) with a mod where I did make the mistake of mentioning women are in fact not as physically as strong as men.  I got invited to leave the thread after not accepting his example of a really strong woman, a weightlifter, that happened to be born a male and competing as such for years before becoming a woman.  If that is the same dude....I guess it figures.  Sad for his victim, but I am also curious as to the details, it seems odd an accusation from 15 years ago can carry such weight when no authorities were ever involved.

But if they did that how would everyone what good and righteous people they are?

This sort of thing, by the way, is why I'm looking at changing the name of #rpgnet, the chatroom. My chatroom is completely apolitical. RPGnet has become actively partisan.
