We have some members of the board who have, for years now, consistently belittled and demeaned other posters on the boards. Specifically, the term "ant" used soley in a derogatory fashion. The pair of offending posters is obvious, but it begs the question: when are you going to stop allowing this type of harassing statement. It's extremely rude and would not be allowed in game, why do you allow the offenders to transgress thusly on the boards? Please feel free to explain.
SmokedAlmonds2 votesI definitely agree with you about people getting away with stuff on GD even though they sorta have their own rules. But it seems to me that GD is what it wants to be. I think it makes everyone look bad but if that is what they want who am I to say they shouldn't have it.

And its fine and all to have a different place for those of us who started there. I mean, I'm about as old as the oldest oldies of GD, and its a cool place and fun and what not. But I'm tired of that phrase. It wouldn't bug me as much probably if that entire little clique didn't also participate in other shenanigans like the report function abuse, but it's just plain time to put a stop to that particular phrase being allowed. Calling some one an "Ant" is just as reprehensible as calling some one a "fucktard" or something similar. If any one were to post the second word it would be cause to have disciplinary action taken against them. Why is the equally harassing offense of "Ant" allowed? Time to do away with this double standard and remove those board members or at the VERY least have that phrase, when used in a derogatory fashion with intent to insult and demean, be cause to receive equal punishment as the words its used as a substitute for.

Yes, we have !
In my opinion this very thing should be addressed..but so should all the comments that get past the mods on GD because So Few are willing to stand up and say that isn't right.
I used to post there and before the boards switched over, let me say I am No longer proud to be associated with most of the people there anymore. Even some of the best of you are becoming up-vote trolls...I can think of a large # of good GD posters but mostly it is has been taken over by double and more accounts that pick on any ideal. anyone disputes !
Saying this pains me: especially as one of the most respected poster on GD added me as a friend and dumped me when I one time called them out for something :) The first step to exclude things we don't want on the boards are to say so as OP did...Thanks OP !

I'm sorry I ranted on your thread ! !
I will leave it up because I believe what I said, however I may have derailed the message you put up if you feel I have just say the word and I will self-delete it...And no hard feelings...I have respect for a lot of comments you have made, OP in your hands :)

You did fine mate. I wanted Curator to see this and actually do something about the posters in question. Its annoying, and I've put up with it for years, but I've had enough of the shenanigans of a pair of widely hated trolls and the whole "ant" business is about as rude as it gets. Its so rude its become its own GD meme because we have to make fun of the pair of douche bags who consistently resort to calling others, everyone, any one at all, "ants". Its time that childishness stops, and its time the mod crew actually did something about it.

I understand, what some might not understand on this board is that GD has their own rules, seldom report and it usually take more then a few people to hit the report button to do anything there.
If more people would just speak up and say what they feel then something could be done about this...I wish that I could help you in this but all I can do is support your comment and OS bump if I can add anything constructive lol... Good Luck :)

Yup :) I believe we are still allowed to bump as long as we add content...I'm about asleep now, but Mom is in bad shape so I may be up longer and try to keep this up front. :)

Just an FYI: PB&M moves much slower than threads in GD, so constant bumping isn't quite as necessary.

True, but most of the bumps in this thread so far are just response and natural flow of conversation. The pace of conversation in PB&M is also slower.

Yeah, I noticed, I've just seen people who have gratuitously bumped threads.
Anyway, I hope you can get the issue worked out. I tend to avoid GD, so I haven't run into the posters, but it sounds like the kind of trolls who get off on dodging punishment systems.
