Yes, but the point you and your buddy’s are missing, is the fact that public figure actions have lead to multiple wars, millions of people life’s being affected and people dying. In that case you just can’t neglect the truth and just say “I feel sorry for the guy”. Knowing what this politician did, common sense dictates that I’m going to express my opinion and make other people aware of his actions.

 Yes, talking bad about a single person can be considered hate speech as much as talking bad about a group, but the moment that person is a criminal, it’s not hate speech. In fact, your attitude undermines the freedom of speech.

 

Also, the fact that my history here, influenced my ban, it shows that I’m right. You ban people selectively.

 

 

Oh please.Just because YOU think he is a criminal and deserving to be hated, its ok to be harsh with this person?And who dosent agree with you is going against freedom of speech?lol

Imagine if everyone felt the same way as you.Every single foolish idea would be accepted, because its "freedom of speech".

Only me? Ha , ha , ha, it looks like you’ve been living under a rock, the guy is considered to be worse than G.Bush by a lot of AMERICANS, but yeaha, continue with your life, it’s all good.

Thats the whole point, Im not an american.You are in an international forum.I dont think that even 20% of the users here are americans.So yes, I dont know that man(Which I would bet Im not alone in this), nor I even care.What I do care is that you are being, to put simply, being rude and very very agressive.You need to remember that the US is not the same as the whole world.I consider many people to be far worse than Trump, and certainly than this guy you are angry about.

And I will continue with my life, but thank you for worrying!



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

In my opinion, the site either needs to disallow political posts, or lighten up with the moderation on political threads. Political discussions by nature are contentuous. There's going to be harsh language and vitriol. To expect otherwise is unreasonable.

It is also unreasonable to expect people to keep politics out of a discussion about a politician.

The problem is people's lack of self-control on the topic and not the topic itself. It's not being treated differently by the mods. I know of some users who are very nice and can give reasoned opinions on alot of topics but with politics, they lose their shit. That's the individual's fault for losing control and making a choice to say things in a post that will get them in trouble. 

It's the same with other non-gaming threads. People seem to get moderated more in those threads than the gaming ones from what I can tell. Should only gaming topics be allowed? No. People just have to learn how to behave themselves regardless of the topic.

That thread was exclusively about his health and not politics. If I'm not mistaken, the thread creator said that in the op. It actually takes a little bit to write out a post, a person has plenty of time to think about their post and cool down. It's not fair to the people who can behave and converse about these topics if cetain topics get banned just because of a few people who can't behave and regard others with some respect.

Decided to highlight that point, as I often find people getting angry with moderations we hand out to one person, but not another, and they don't realize that this is often the biggest reason why. Your history follows you, and as long as you aren't changing what's causing you to be moderated, it will continue to play a role in how we deal with infractions. It's not selective, it is realistic.

That is actually a very blunt excuse for creating an environment where admins can abuse their powers. You pretty much say that is acceptable on this site for an admin to ban an individual that had previous bans, just because they have opened their mouth and stated an opinion. So you pretty much say that in order for me to coexist here in peace, I should just keep my mouth shoot and keep my opinions to myself. That sounds like this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh6_gzY1W7k

 

Well, it does depend on how you go about doing it. I've promoted communism/anarchism here before, but I've never been banned for it. However, much like you, I'm not a fan of John McCain, but I decided to mainly keep away from the thread for that reason, instead of risking saying something that could get me in trouble.

I wish we could just get rid of toxic, poisonous users without having to go around an old and silly rule set that's easy to manipulate.

Just think how good that would be.

You moderators need to stage a coup d'etat, and seize power from ioi.Then VGC can live in peace once again!

He's referring to me. Personally I wish they would clamp down on posters taking other peoples posts out of context to push their agenda. Rol knew what i was talking about in the MC thread but he knew he'd get a good laugh of posting a graph which didn't accurately represent what i said. In that very same thread i had another poster having a go at me because i said 1 of the reasons 3ds still sells s because kids who are now old enough to get one do. I also provided another reason. I was replying to a guy who couldn't believe it was still selling so i provided some examples. 

 

Anyway this guy took it as i was saying only kids are buying it and had a go at me. Basically taking my post out of context. And the thread suffers as a result. Same with the rol thing. At least people like me are having some serious talk in there whereas as others just love to jump in and post something like "haha kerotan" and leave it like that.
