[serious] Off Topic Moderation Input - Part 2

[MikeH]

I don't really want to ban anybody but sometimes things just get too much or people go too far.

[Lorizael]

You don't want to be ban anybody? What? That's pretty much the only reason I signed up for this gig.

[Elok]

Hey, if an offense is bad enough to actually make you move, I trust that it was pretty bad. And, in this case I saw it; multiple posts full of "stupid homo ****** crybaby" or something like that crosses the line.

[MikeH]

Yeah, we've been having people report stuff DFG has said for months, some of it really quite bad. If this had been a one off I'd maybe have been prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt and a chance to apologise.

[Nikolai]

So what will the reaction be to the death threats made by Sava, that is now deleted? Is he banned too?

[SlowwHand]

Docfeelgood banned for 6 months for his totally unacceptable personal homophobic attacks on MrFun.

I've had lots of recent reports about him for racist stuff as well. Runs out April 17th.

DFG responded over the top, but Mr Fun runs his mouth to the point that it's a struggle. He does it on purpose and you can tell that's a fact by his response in the thread.
DFG probably should be banned for a bit, but it irks me that once again the little swish hips comes away unscathed.

[Guynemer]

You might want to stop posting for a while there, champ.

[SlowwHand]

Why? I didn't post anything untrue. "My work here is done." Is that not gloating over provocation culminating in a banning?

[Guynemer]

"Little swish hips"? Really, Tex?

You're better than that.

[Elok]

"Little swish hips" is just a liiiiiittle bit derogatory.

Although accurate. Asher, for instance, has a life outside his sexual preference. Mr Fun doesn't. That's all he is or has in life. Along that train of thought, it would never occur to me to call Asher by that term, because he's not. Mr Fun is.

[Guynemer]

Yup. Should definitely stop posting for a while.

[self biased]

The difference is that BK's hatred is thinly veiled, which is better.

in all fairness to Ben: I've never seen him use such blatant derogatory slurs like doc did in that thread, so it would appear that Ben has at least a modicum of class, despite his ****ty opinions.

[Elok]

That's not even accurate, anyway. Only half the stuff MrFun posts is gay. The other half is liberal "news" so blatantly slanted it makes Dinner look almost nuanced.

Xpost

[SlowwHand]

Yup. Should definitely stop posting for a while.

Why? Because you think so? I don't like men to be crass around or about women; why would I find it more acceptable for a flaming gay?
