what puts people off modding are the insane humorless freaks in this thread who if they got hit with a 6 hour probe would lose their minds and send 5 million PMs, who blow up absoluite non issues into rage filled nonsense, generally just a drag to the forums and are at best white noise no one notices or cares about. this feedback thread was extremely quiet and plesaent until very recently and now its filled with people who have never told a joke, wouldnt be able to identify one at five paces, and seemingly exist to be misery elementals. no idea why anyone would care about what any of you have to say, or why they should.

I do like the part where everyone that quoted me just conveniently left off the part where the admin defended them.

Also, holy poo poo why are slurs allowed anywhere on this site? Which I guess isn't a games question, but Jesus Christ.

I guess where I'm at is this: You're perpetuating if not encouraging lovely posters to drive away good posters on a site that admits its' user base is dwindling. Why would you do that? Why does one poster's "fun" supercede lots of other posters unfun?

I'll leave it there because if you can't see how that negative feedback loop turns the site into a poo poo place, I don't think there's a magic combination of words to get you to.

Admins: Yeah mods can set their own rules in their forums slurs aren't banned in CCCC because each thread is it's own little community and they can decide for themselves


Posters: drat THE ADMINS SAID YOU CAN DO SLURS???

To not be a dipshit for a second you're misunderstanding what was said -- slurs are not against the site-wide rules, moderators are able to come up with their own rules for their own forums and enforce them as they see fit, for the large part. Within that wide leeway is the ability to allow or not allow various language. Slurs aren't allowed in Games right now, it's that simple. Admins will absolutely back mods in stuff like that. Where the confusion comes is specifically with CCCC which is kind of a middle zone that's not really a real forum just a parking ground for lonely threads. The admin position is merely that "they are not banned in the CCCC rules or site-wide rules so they are allowed in CCCC" this can obviously be adjusted by individual thread IKs there.


Also like y'all were whinging about CCCC rules in Games no one here can help you there.

lol, he put himself on a crusade against threads he finds unfunny and calls others freaks. Really overbrimming with some weird energies.

If you believe this is a large contradiction you are welcome to make a QCS thread about it, which is the forum for having these issues addressed.

It is a contradiction. These are things that are, generously speaking, the complete opposite.

But I'm not making a thread in QCS because some lovely admin was wrong when trying to poorly defend using a slur.

im still confused on why saying "you can say this word in cccc unless your IK bans it" is being twisted into "admins love to say slurs, all the time", and especially why this discussion is happening in state of games, 3 days later

what you mean by this is you actually dont care. if you cared you would make the qcs thread and demand change, or leave rather than stick around in a place that allows things that disgust you. but you dont care, none of you do, youre all just trying to use it to win some pointless argument because your thread got moved, and thats far more offensive than arf calling you the r word lol

absolute coward poo poo, very pathetic.

Why do you think it's obscene and bad to use 'retarded' but okay to use 'insane', a word which is just as ableist and is used to stigmatize the mentally ill far more often? None of you social rejects even cares about doing anything about ableism. You're just going for some weird rear end powerplay because you've got nothing else going on.

Take the slur debate to QCS. You clearly all have a lot to say about it and this isn’t the place where it’ll do any good. Games mods already probate for that word. This fight is better had elsewhere.
