If you were ever banned what would most likely be the cause?

[DragonMals]

Trying to educate someone something that they shouldn't be doing in order to make them learn from their mistakes, except if I remotely be "strict" or tense, the mods would think Im hurting the person and would warn me for harassment. This happened to me multiple times, and at this point, I just resort to reporting cause if I cannot solve it, who else would?

Sorry but red flag spotted.

Yeah, I think that it's natural to not wanna get lectured by someone you barely know.

Teachers are paid for that and have at least some diploma to tell they're qualified.

But

Trying to educate someone something that they shouldn't be doing in order to make them learn from their mistakes.

Which mistakes btw? Because "something that they shouldn't be doing" can vary from one to another.

Yes, I am the first to say that alcohol and tobacco consumption is bad but they're adults and responsible of their own lives. It's not my job to tell others what to do nor my responsibility if they get issues later in life.

Gamer words and crazy conspiracy theories. I'm trying to avoid a ban so I will not be sharing any.

<spits out coffee>c.c..c...Conspiracy theories, why it's not like we are watching you..

Gamer words

I'm sorry but what kind?

Talking about being careful of the wipe from mobs that inflict DOT so you'll have to cast AOE magics and heal your friends?

My drawings were too lewd

Not lewd enough.

Do such posts help the staff make paragraphs about possible behavior from members?

Younger me got banned for trolling and a hell lot of trolling and maybe sarcasm.

Maybe even standing up against what's wrong , well at this point I lost interest in trying to tell people "you know that's not the best of action?" I just don't care anymore whether you want to drink whatever you wanna drink or whether you want to take harmful chemicals and pills I could give a less of a damn......I only care about wellbeing of me and the loved ones and maybe 1 or 2 internet friends.

Also for trying to break the rules now im a bit respectful to the rules set by sites....as long as they don't go overboard to the point where it feels like you can't express yourself in a good way where you are only engineered to say X Y Z where it feels too restrictive.

I say ignore topics you know that will get you in trouble unless its necessary to do so.

You don't have to react to everything even if you disagree just don't lol.

 

[Num]

this just serves as a foreshadowing thread so that when the people here get banned it doesnt end up feeling like unexpected plot twists out of nowhere

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

Sarcasm like irony is hard to properly do when it's written.

But sadly it's also when genuinely mean people are using sarcasm as an excuse to retract what they've said... So I understand why some aren't liking them.

Yeah, I'm for rules to prevent harms but I'm also against turning a place into an "echo chamber" where everyone has to agree with only one thing told by the people managing the place but thankfully it's not the case here. Subreddits on the other hand...

Yup I just give up on trying to explain what I meant when I say something let the people understand it the way they want to trying to explain more often than not leads to making the misunderstanding worse assessing the situation and seeing if the person is an understanding one can result in positive outcome.

Yeah I hate it when I have to walk on thin ice to say something it feels robotic and usually leads to these "too wholesome" that it reaches the point where it feels very fake.

And trust me yeah silence works wonders.

Yep, that's why it's a no no. I've seen too often people wanting to "educate" someone else because of a different opinion, not because the perso actually said somethingand objectively wrong (like saying that pineapples don't belong on a pizza, wtf is wrong with some people ?).

Usually unless an opinion is asked, or the person does something really troublesome for the sake of the forum, I don't see any really reason to "educate" someone you barely know, that don't care about your opinion because he barely knows you as well, aside from the motivation of virtue signaling and patronizing because of an (often wrong) sentiment of superiority.

Just my 2 potato cents, not me educating anyone.

The other issue in the "no politics" rule is that some are telling that everything is inherently political, especially art forms (games included depending of the person you ask).

Yeah but people know the difference between discussing a game's political context and making personal attacks or assumptions about others on politics.

A game like Final Fantasy 7 or 10 is inherently political and talking about its themes and how it handles them isn't disparaging anyone. Meanwhile calling someone a capitalist or a communist in some sort of disparaging/confrontational way isn't discussing the themes or context of art, its just otherizing, reducing and attacking people.

Its more of less an extension of "don't be a dick". There is nothing inherently wrong with a gaming forum allowing overt political discussion, but the moment you do that you tend to force your community on the whole to encourage and disrespect certain viewpoints. Inevitably the userbase will decide amongst itself which ideologies are generally agreed upon and which are ok to bully and it creates a sort of hugbox.

Obviously this place wants to be more relaxed and devoid of that kind of tribalism and othering. There are plenty of gaming spaces online if you want to openly talk about stuff like that on either side of the aisle, but you'll quickly notice that most userbase have already picked a side and while you might not get outright banned for disagreeing with people there, you'll certainly be met with hostility for not agreeing with the tribe.

Besides, there are threads talking about extremely political topics like veganism that haven't been locked. Clearly so long as discussion isn't becoming too aggressive/personal the staff are at least begrudgingly ok with discussion. Obviously when you can't give your 100% unfiltered thoughts on that sort of topic the discussion can only go so far, but its a sacrifice I can understand making to keep the forum inclusive and relaxed.

"Oh, is that a topic that says that SOR 2 is the best beat'em up ever made ? Oh its 'ooooon !!"

Thankfully there are a couple topic to vent frustration here to avoid that.

I didn't expect that alimentary regimes could be remotely political but I've decided to ignore this topic because of where it was going.

I wish everyone on the net could...

I know it's a divisive topic but I don't really see it as political.

I have no idea how it's going since I didn't have any reason to go there aside from my "sorry, I enjoy too much the taste of death in my mouth", but I'm guessing it's not a topic full of love and wholesomeness, but that comes more from the lack of respect for other people's opinion rather than being a political topic imo.

Even though I admit that a lot of things are weirdly considered political as soon as it generates some, let's say, "friction".

People get regularly banned just for having the "wrong" avatar. And I don't about inappropriate, offensive and provoking avatars. I've been banned just for having a cute, SFW anime avatar just because the admins/mods have a huge hate boner for anime to a schizophrenic level. I also got banned just for having an anthro animal avatar because of schizo admins/mods that will call you a creepy zoophile furry just for having a video game avatar like a Sonic one.

Also for some reason twitter treats avatars and banners with Felicia from Darkstalkers as "porn" even if it's official art or SFW fanart. Yet SOMEHOW twitter has no problem with actual porn avatars and banners.

There was a stigma against anime pfp (especially on Twitter).

Yikes! I'm not sure why there's that shortcut when anthropomorphic animals predated furries. What kind of mental gymnastic it needs to associate having a Sonic character with harming actual animals?

Personally I think even cropped nsfw avatars (showing 0 suggestive area) is still potentially risky as they can reverse image search it or that bots would assume it's the full nsfw picture.

To be fair the furry fandom not only is full with creeps (zoophiles, pedos, rapists) but they also try normalizing or defending them. Still treating ALL people who like anthro animals drawings as furries creeps is ridiculous. Even furries hate the furry fandom for good reasons.

I'm wondering where that came from.

Judging someone by their pfp is quite a prejudice in a way (like if you would act differently depending on the person's name).

Then what's the best pfp to have? Not an irl picture I hope.


I think that someone posting themselves are risking their privacy too much.

Meme pfp can be fine but I think one can get easily dated.

It mostly comes from insecure Western people (mostly Americans) that are jealous of anime's popularity that often surpass Western media's popularity. It's for other reasons too I won't mention to avoid being off topic.

Remember when it was common sense even for normies to not share your private info at the internet? Now they treat you as a suspicious person for keeping your anonymity and privacy at the internet. Well EXCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSE MEEEEEEEEEEEE for not showing my name and face to a bunch of internet lunatics that will harass and dox you for the stupidest reasons!

Probably but this is just being paranoid.

I remember some refusing to release Akira in the West because "it will kill the western animation industry" (despite having people animating in Asia for several American shows).

I remember once that there was a Doom megawad disc where they put the personal info of the wad maker (because they filled a form) to tell where to contact them if you were interested in hiring them after seeing their mapping talent.


Even resumes nowadays don't ask you to put your face on it (to avoid judgement or discrimination) thankfully.
