He says it is wrong making fun of a religious figure because of the atrocious attacks on a french satire magazine. The reason they attacked the magazine was because they made a mohammad caricature. He is saying look what happened in France you should not be making fun of religion. That is what the exact message the terrorist where trying to send killing innocent people. I don't understand how this person can come in here, support Islamic views on censorship, and you're questioning me? So you are accusing another member of supporting terrorism. Wow. That's a report. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Sam 42 Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 So I was reading through the forum rules and I noticed this at the bottom of the first post: On 1/11/2015 at 0:22 PM, Static Veins said: Disclaimer This site is owned by Phil Burnell, a.k.a. DarksydePhil, and operated by himself and his moderation staff. It is an integral part of his business and as such the running and operation of the board is at his discretion. Sometimes judgement calls must be made. These rules are here to ensure the forum remains a fun and friendly place for its members, but they are not the be-all and end-all of ensuring this. DarksydePhil and his moderation staff reserve the right to amend the rules at any point and reprimand members who act in an uncivilized manner not otherwise stated in the list above. The bottom line is if you are making this site an unpleasant experience for others, you will be dealt with appropriately. Above all; please be kind and civil to one another. And most of all, have fun! Doesn't this disclaimer invalidate all of the forum rules that were just talked about above it? Link to post Share on other sites

I'm asking why after laying out some standard but good forum rules, is there a disclaimer at the bottom that effectively nullifies those rules. This sentence specifically "DarksydePhil and his moderation staff reserve the right to amend the rules at any point and reprimand members who act in an uncivilized manner not otherwise stated in the list above" translates to none of the rules mean anything because the staff can amend(ignore) the rules at any point, but don't even have to cause they can also punish you for anything they feel like. This is very confusing. I hope you can understand why. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I believe the meaning is along the lines of; in addition, to these rules if DSP or the mods believe you committed an act that is bannable they can ban you. Although, the act you committed was not explicitly stated as an action that could violate the rules. That doesn't mean you can break the rules, and that they are null and void.

He didn't mean nullifies as in we can break the rules. He meant it as in we can get banned because Phil or one of the mods was having a bad day and came to the forums pissed off regardless of whether we did anything wrong. In my opinion this is one reason the sections of the forums about Phil get so little activity. People are afraid to express their opinions because they know they can easily get banned for it just because someone didn't like it.

Yes, this is closer to what I meant. It doesn't even have to be a bad day. That disclaimer says you can be reprimanded for any reason by a member of staff. Basically that no matter what, you are always wrong and they are always right, so if whatever they say goes at any given moment, then having written rules, that may or may not apply depending on the situation, is a little pointless. Forum rules, in my experience at least, have always been a definitive list of the things you can't do and what happens if you do them. So long as you don't do anything on the list, you are free from moderation. The list of course can be updated as things arise, but it's a public thing that is stated and usually isn't just the whim of a single person. This is why I referred to them as void in this case. Like I said though, this is only my experience, so maybe that's where the problem lies. If the rules embody a different sentiment for anybody else, then please share. I'd be interested to hear it. Edit: Okay so I just saw Phil's post at the top of the page and I think I may be barking up the wrong tree here. Edited August 13, 2016 by Sam Link to post Share on other sites
TraditionalGames 553 Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Basically it means if the mods feel you are in the wrong they have the right to punish you even if it's not an official rule. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Borg_Tech 20 Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Not to discredit your claim Bailey but the context of this is actually hilarious since this reply tightsideviking sent you was based on the fact you couldn't understand the embeded video because it was in japanese, but you found out how to translate Japanese swear words. The definition of an oxymoron really.*BrightSideViking 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Nation 525 Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) I do find it quite hilarious that Bailey will refuse to watch a video where he just has to press a button to get English subtitles but will go out of his way to translate something BSV said if there's a chance he can report him yet again.

BrotherLono 81 Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Are you one of these social justice types bore_tech? You seem to take literal offence to everything whether it's offensive or not while having little digs at others yourself. Maybe if you, and others on this site, learned to ignore such frivolous banter there would be far less bickering on these very pages. *Borg_Tech Edited August 16, 2016 by BrotherLono auto correct error 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Borg_Tech 20 Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Ha, "Autocorrect error".... sure. Mimicry is the highest form of flattery BrotherLono, remember that. Except mine was actually an accident. I don't know how you confused me being humored with me being offended, yet, here you are confused...And Lono saying I take offence to everything? I actually said this in the Final Fantasy thread: "Is this a forum or the Build-A-Bear Workshop where everything is built to be thin-skinned and soft? Lets stay on topic instead of worrying about if someone thats not you is being insulted, and if it is you, talk to a mod about it. Most of us are grown, unless someone is getting cussed out, who cares. This conversation is interesting, don't ruin it with unnecessary domestic drama." -Me on PG.2 of [Final Fantasy XV [Episode Duscae HYPE!] thread So for the second time today, what are you talking about? And for the second time I will tell you, stop worrying about other users all the time and brainstorm some discussion topics. Stop threatening me, cause there won't be a 3rd time, there will be just a report. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't get though how yours is a mistake and mine isn't even though I said it was auto correct. tl dr please don't threaten me with a report, I'd hate that so so much.

Borg_Tech 20 Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 So your shitty autocorrect just so happen to fuck up my name the exact same thread that i made a mistake. You're clearly able to actually edit the post and fix the name instead of copying they way I have to correct my mistakes on my phone (My phone doesn't have the edit hyperlink but on my computer at home im able to edit my post) and then it misspells "offence" but spells it correctly when you turn it into an adjective on the same line? Sure, Brother. Don't insult my intelligence.*Notice my post doesnt say edited at the bottom? Cause I actually cant on my phone..... *Reported Link to post Share on other sites

KGhaleon 1728 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 I've updated the original post with a new rule, restricting discussion of drama topics from sources like kiwifarms. Due to numerous attacks and false accusations over the years I don't feel it's productive to allow malicious topics to leak over onto TKOH forums. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
