Earthly Madness

Hungry Cancer··1 votes·1,170 views

Please explain to me like a respectful human being (which you have not been thus far) how my comment was suspendable and not just you trying to eliminate discourse pointing out the flaws in your system that you brilliantly displayed by suspending me for something that was NOT at all bannable and is generally ignored in the forum culture.

Hey there, Hungry Cancer.

While we don't expect everyone to fully agree with the Universal Rules on the boards, we do expect everyone to follow them. We may not catch everything 100% of the time, but the rules are enforced for posters, moderators, and Rioters alike.

Your specific comment had a few offensive lines it it, specifically referring to a "rotten sheep's dick" and calling the moderation team "power hungry SJWs". While we accept and encourage constructive criticism, this doesn't qualify.

Further, comments like "it wasn't honestly insulting unless you have an SJW/Liberal definition of insulting and offensive" don't open up the door for meaningful discussion, as they set a hard line in the sand, and further violate our rules about bringing politics and social issues into conversation.

You're free to disagree with the action taken but, upon reviewing the situation, the removal is absolutely appropriate. If you want to voice your displeasure with moderation or the universal rules that's fine, but please do so in a more constructive, less politically-charged manner in the future.

Also, please note that you were not suspended in any way -- the comment was simply removed, and a warning was given against similar behavior in the future.

I'm sorry but this wasn't directed at you so your comment is totally unwarranted, and frankly rude, as I made it very clear that I want to speak to the mod that did take action, and frankly if people can't handle common phrases like "rotting sheep's dick" then they shouldn't be on the internet, and Liberals and SJW's are proud of what they are and self-define by those phrases so if you have a problem with me using a phrase that they use to describe themselves then you're the problem, which I expect from Riot's ~~jokes ~~mods at this point but it certainly doesn't make it right by any means. All I did was tell the truth, just because someone doesn't like it doesn't make it an insult, try looking up the definition of insult sometime, because if you actually read my comment, which I don't think you actually did based on your comment, then you'll realize that I was pointing out the two definitions of insult and the fact that those who self-define as SJW and Liberals (which is more than a political distinction, it's a philosophical one) use a very different one from that found in any reputable dictionary and unless you use their definition of insult then nothing the OP or I said was insulting. Just to further drive this point home to you as I think you really need it, I was not making a political distinction, I was making a philosophical distinction based on the philosophy that the group I was referring to adheres to, and there is honestly not an accurate way of phrasing that other than what I used, and it needed to be said as the discussion was about insults on the forums. Please do not blatantly lie and claim that all posters have the rules enforced on them, I've been playing the game and using the forums since the beginning and the fact that you suggest equality in deletions is absolutely fucking absurd, and I'm sorry but you couldn't actually delete a red comment if you wanted to since you don't work for riot nor have any actual control over the site with the sole exception of people below your caste, and Rioters are most definitely above your caste. My primary problem is that due to this removal if some child decides to report one of my comments solely because I disagree with him then I WILL be banned or suspended, and before you try to deny it, I'll point out that it has happened to me and several of my friends in the past and the mods SOLE reason for why I was suspended was because even though he didn't find my comment offensive or in violation of the rules, I had had a comment deleted nearly 6 months prior so that means that I'm automatically in the wrong, despite the fact that the instigator had no action taken against them solely because he'd never been suspended, deleted, nor banned before, despite the fact that the mod started off the conversation claiming that the vast majority of the blame fell on the instigating shit bag. I know that you have the urge to defend your comrade but you are not the person I want to talk to and you are only exacerbating the situation, so I respectfully ask that you not respond, since this isn't your business. The bottom line is if you're only going to pick and choose whom you apply the rules to then you are a part of the problem and need to be removed and replaced with a more efficient system as there are multiple. Consistency is key and despite your lies the mods do not apply the rules consistently.

As a Herald, internal investigations of moderator actions is precisely what my business is. I understand you may disagree, and will respect that disagreement by not commenting further on your post, but if you are seeking agreement that the action was improperly performed I'm afraid you will not find it.

I never fucking asked for agreement that it was improperly performed I'm a respected professional in this field and you're a volunteer without proper training, your opinion is literally worthless. I do this kinda shit (setting up PROFESSIONAL systems) for a living, I know it was improperly performed (I even ran it by some I/O professor colleagues so they could use it as a classroom example) and that if I found this system in place with any of my clients I'd have a Goddamnned field day, but I also know that you will never agree because he's a member of your group and you feel a biological need to support him no matter how obviously wrong he was, and possibly even because you weren't actually trained for your job either and therefore have no more idea what you're doing than he does. I was obviously looking to speak to the "mod" that deleted my comment so your excuse of being a "herald" and investigating is straight up bullshit and you know it, I make my living off this shit (and have for years) you're not gonna sell that kind of obvious shit to me.

You escalated that really quickly without any need. No I'm waiting for the system to "perform properly" and ban you for such a behaviour.

Go for it kiddo, I honestly don't give a rat's shit. I didn't "escalate" a Goddamnned thing, I simply stated facts because everything I stated was indeed true and relevant to the conversation at hand. He inserted himself where he didn't belong and knew he didn't belong there and all I did was use a VERY minor amount of "vulgarity" which is a massive part of language where I'm from (I'm from the only state founded by pirates and it seriously affected our linguistics which is why we're the only state that uses language derived from pirates that is quite regularly considered "vulgar" in other states despite being an integral part of our language) and not considered even remotely rude; get over it, it's just words. This wasn't even remotely your business to begin with, so your insertion into it is rude by any culture's standards. BTW according to the "mods" and the U-rules your comment is in clear violation. You also can't report me for something that happened weeks or months ago (you are talking about reporting me in the future after all), just read the rules mate, as you quite obviously haven't.

BTW if you're going to use a quote it needs to be something that was actually said, otherwise it's just your words in quotation marks. You're welcome for the first grade English lesson.
