Withdrawing from a League with no Honor

[Ming]

Spartan_RawB... you started the personal attacks... and to nobodies surprise here, Eyes returned fire...

But right now, I don't really care who started it... but it will stop now. So again, you can argue all you want about who sucks at the game, who whines about the game, who is a newbie, who has no strategies... but the next crack about somebodies personal life is going to earn somebody a quick restriction.

Bet you haven't been edited much before Ming.

[Spartan_RawB]

And so this discussion is over, as requested by Ming, and I shall have to take up the matter with Mark.


The rest of your tirade has been edited.

And now you are restricted for bringing it up here instead of just doing it with Mark...

[MalevolentLight]

I only bring it to a real life issue when the other guy does, otherwise everything I say is game related. YOu can always tell a loser when he starts talking about his personal life in a gaming forum.

[Ming]

Give it a rest eyes... he's been restricted. I know he started it... but that doesn't mean you should continue it

[Deity Dude]

I havnt been here for awhile, but some things never change.

Strat's loss isn't really a loss because it didn't fit into his framework. (BTW I support a limited restart rule if everyone agrees on it ahead of time)

Eye's gets in a personal battle with someone (BTW I'm not defending the other person here), uses profanity and a variety of personal insults. Does twice as many posts as the other person but the moderators edit and threaten the other person while Eyes' comments are left and he is not threatened.

Why not remove all personal comments, or leave them all in. And if someone is going to earn a restriction, why not the most flagrant abuser. I am sure if there is one thing that the Apolyton community could agree on, it would be who is the most flagrant abuser (even though he goes by several different names)

[Ming]

Hey DD... look who started it before you stand by your opinion. Eyes was following the rules of this forum, and some guy attacks him for no reason. Yeah, he jumped in afterwords, but you didn't see that the other bozo attacked his personal life as well as his sex life. I'm sure you would have responded in a nasty fashion as well if it had been directed at you.

Eyes has been repeatedly warned AND restricted in the past. He has been behaving since we had many chats...
That is, until some other nimrod starts the action.

[atawa]

You're too fast Ming, I missed that

[Hydey]

Perhaps we could set up a veiwing stage so that more people can get to the popcorn and beer stands.

[rah]

Damn, I go to lunch and miss all the good stuff

[Ming]

You all didn't miss much... Some bozo who hasn't posted in a few months comes back just to first take a shot at SK, and then unloads with a more personal attack against EYES.

But that's OK... He's going running to MarkG to tell him what a nasty person I am...

[General Maximus]

It's funny, this thread was started by SK, about SK, and no further posts by SK. Robbie picks a fight with Sean, Robbie is restricted. Still, NO more posts by SK.

Does the truth hurt Gary?

well, to attack somebodys real life is forbidden in any case, i agree.

ming, if i understand you right, all what belongs to the game is ok. e.g. if somebody says, i am a stupid kraut, play on stupid kraut ladder, im a loser, dont know nothing from the game and so on - thats not ment personal, but its only ment for the game. ok, maybe its the american way of tolerance .

besides, im proud to be a stupid kraut, as im proud to be a weasel.

happy civving

[Ming]

This is an MP forum... we have always allowed the chest beating and the mild flaming that goes with competitve games. And yes, unless it gets really overboard, people are allowed to insult people's playing style and strategies... Heck, some of the startegies demand insulting comments If you can't handle that, you shouldn't be playing MP games.

However, we draw the line at PERSONAL insults... Insulting somebodies life... carreer... family... sex life... whatever... Not Allowed.

[DrSpike]

I empathise with DD and Jes........there is a very thin line IMO between calling someone a stupid kraut and some of the things I have seen characterised as personal attacks.

But then I'm glad it's not me making the calls.
