The following post is in violation of forum policy:
Quote: Yeah I read that he had erectile disfunction on OOC gallery.
Name of Violation: Personal Insult
Action taken: Post Deleted by topic moderator
Comments: Six points assessed.
Uhm first of all I was responding to someone elses post about reading that comment left by Gothique on the gemstone player pic of the OOC gallery.. ??
The fucker isn't even a member of the Players Corner. So not only was it not a personal insult.. it wasn't even directed at a member of the boards.
If you want personal insults go read/edit the "bash Tsin thread" or the constant un edited insults left in any political thread.
One thing I can say about your idiocy is that it's consistent.
HarmNone
06-29-2006, 10:22 PM
Heh. I received no U2U from you. Of course, you know this.
Again, I'll remind you that you do not make policy decisions on these boards. In other words, you do not decide what is, or is not, a personal insult. The moderator decided your post was not suitable and removed it. That's the moderator's prerogative in his/her topic.
It is not necessary for a person to be an actively posting member of these boards for that person to be personally insulted. Nor does the fact that you were responding to another post (which was also removed) mitigate the circumstances.
There ya go. Public attention to your whine. Enjoy. :)

I find it funny that the only posts of mine that get deleted are about a certain GM that's is/was living with a member of these boards (who no longer posts).
But like Xyelin said, he's not a member of these boards so who's kissing his ass is the question..
Edited to add - I quoted what was posted under his picture on the OOC galleries and said that this is why his picture was taken down, I didn't even insult him.
Unless the part where I said, "Gothique is mean" is an insult
I find it funny how some people take U2Us to these boards. Thats a bitch move.

They are the only ones that are deleted everytime i put his name in. Secondly, I didn't even insult him. I said I was sad to see his picture go down on OOC and then the reason why it was taken down.

Let's put it this way, Alfster...
Were you the one to decide that the picture was to be removed from OOC? Were you the one to evaluate the reason for which it was removed? If not, any comments from you in that regard are no more than conjecture. If that conjecture is offensive to another board member, it is up to the moderator of the given topic to decide whether the post stays or goes. It is not up to you. It is also not up to you to decide what is considered to be a personal insult on these boards vs what is not.
This is how you start getting banned.

Haha, no I wasn't the one who actually removed it, I was the one who got blamed for posting everything under his OOC picture. Trust me, I know why the picture went down. I went out of my way to tell someone that I was the one who wrote everything underneath his picture because I don't give a shit if someone blames me for everything, when in fact I only posted one thing...I even apologized about 700000 times.
JiglMyJello: I did it specifically where anyone reading it would have known it wasn't actually from you
someone: But thats not the case. Not everyone knows Paul and I are seeing each other
someone: just doing it in the first place was very childish and I still dont see the motivation behind it
JiglMyJello: yah, i don't know wtf i was thinking to be honest
someone: And you did it twice
someone: the pic you posted on the PC, way bad taste especially since you werent even involved in the whole GM office thing
JiglMyJello: that was mostly a fall out from before
JiglMyJello: and i didn't even know you were dating him until 2 days ago
someone: Well as a favor to me I would like it removed
The point is, I doubt he's the one complaining, i'm thinking it's <someone>...which is why it doesn't make sense to ME that it was pulled. What happened with Peam's chick, if I remember correctly the picture stayed up because SHE didn't complain about it being up. I think this is probably the same case as I know she reads and reports shit (maybe not here, but definatly on OOC)
Issue with the staff in this case would be correct.

No where does that even say he has a small cock, I was stating that someone was dating him (at least at the time of the picture being taken down).
The only actual "personal attack" was that of <someone who doesn't need to be mentioned> being mean and that's hardly worth 6 points.

You're welcome to post just about anything you like about GS; however, you are not welcome to post whatever you like about the personal lives of the people who play GemStone. Those people have every right to their privacy, and they have every right to request that personal information about them be removed, should it be posted on these boards. The moderators have the right to remove such material if they see it, as well.

Heh. Don't worry, little man. I wasn't trying to tell you off. I was simply stating a truth.
As far as who is active and who is inactive, we have many posters from whom we don't hear for awhile. Many turn up again from time to time. They're active when they wish to be, not when you wish them to be.

To sum up the thread ...
I posted something I wasn't supposed to and it got pulled. I am now going to make a bigger ass of myself by creating a thread in an effort to "damn the man" that did it.
Please give my tantrum more attention.
Wasn't there a case against Tsa'ah about just this same thing (censorship)?
Numerous and all created by the same people over and over again. It comes with the job and stems from the belief that one can be the biggest fuck wad to walk the internet and no one should do anything about it.
While I don't agree with Xyelin's approach/tantrum I do have to agree that the editting for personal insults seems inconsistant and focused at certain individuals at best. I say seems because obviously I no longer can see/know what goes on behind the scenes.

Aside from Wezas' sex crimes ... how long should someone be able to derail, insult, and generally shit all over the forum until something is done?

I have been guilty of being an insufferable bitch/cunt when I first registered, as well, and have probably two posts pulled, that I didn't really agree with but hey later realizing he/she was right in pulling it.
I just think of it this way. No one is perfect. Not everyone will agree as to what is offensive and what isn't. I mean, cmon, thats just life. Can't please everyone all of the time. If you want to play in someone's sandbox you gotta play by their rules and basically suck it up, or simply not play there anymore.
While, I am a bit ashamed to admit that I often find Xyelin's crass humor funny at times. (I don't know if its the shock value that I find funny, or what he's saying?) He has caused me to inhale soda through my nose a number of times and for this I hope he rots in hell. Anyway, though, he has gotten away with some good zingers, I think. I think there is probably quite a number of his posts that should've gotten pulled but didn't.

As a Admin for the forums of the game I play and a mere member here, I can understand both points of view
But as an outside person looking in, how i feel on the matter is
HarmNone is a moderator, and has been for quite some time, She was appointed the power to delete/remove post
ban people if she feels it's deemable
who are YOU to question, what she can or cannot do, that's for the other moderators or forums admins to do.
you may not like what she does...get a clue, GROW UP accept it and move on, your world isn't going to end, obviously she knows what she's doing, she's a moderator YOUR not, if she wasn't doing her job properly, i'm sure she would have been removed a LONG time ago.
and I can tell by your attitude, maturity and lack of any respect for your admin/monderator, that your post probally deserve to get removed.
I don't post here that often, I stop by when i can, but from reading this thread, your making yourself look quite dumb, Making a case of u2us that you never sent? then complaining about them.
your a little boy that needs to grow up, and you are getting laughed at by your stupid antics and post, and your 12 year old attitude

We're not perfect, things get missed sometimes. You are very welcome to assist us in doing our job by using the REPORT POST feature. That makes our lives easier and it means you are doing something useful rather than moaning about it.
Regarding the issue about selective moderating of personal attacks, let's bear in mind that some folks bring on these personal attacks themselves and then have to deal with the consequences. I'm not here to babysit that kind of idiot. Others are lurking in the background and do nothing to provoke such attacks, they don't even fuel the fire once it has started burning, as with this case. If an attack comes out of nowhere, you can bet your life it's going to be dealt with.
Oh and puhlease... If you're one of those people who has come running to us for help in the past yet still have the audacity to comment in this thread, you can fuck off if you expect sympathy from me in the future. I think Skirm had it right.

For the record, only a couple of posts were removed, not the whole thread. They were personal attacks that were unwarranted.
Tsin, on the other hand, I don't see any personal insults aside from his merchanting ways. If he feels he was insulted personally in any way, he is free to report those posts and tell us why he feels that way and then we can take action.
If we don't know you're insulted, we can't do anything about it. Just because many here can take it, doesn't mean everyone has to or should.

3) References to my political affiliation
4) References to my large penis size
5) References to any misspelinggs I may have.
You can be sure that these and any other personal insults will be met with the quickest response. Don't be that guy.

Your penis isn't large... sadly I saw it in the Asian pr0n camera pics. Scarred for life now but I suddenly have a craving for a roastbeef sammich.
:rofl: @ PB's post.
Adding my two cents:
Common insults are fine with me as long as they do not divulge personal information that I have not already disclosed publicly, I can dish it out as well as take it.
I'm all for freedom of speech until it brings my privacy or my family/friend's privacy into the mix. Thats when the line is crossed, and when action is requested and taken by the staff of the PC.
For those that dont like it, there's always other boards to infest with their immaturity.

Hey Ganalon,
Your mom told me to tell you to give her a call later. Her number is (555) 123-4421
The real board professionals learn how to offend and mock in ways that are veiled just enough to not break any rules.

If someone wants to keep their private life private, they have every right to do so.
I'm calling bullshit on this one. I asked for IMs regarding me and others to be deleted, and I was told no way.
Fucking ridiculous that some are treated like that, yet others are not.
And you can bet I'll respond in this thread, because it's pure bullshit.
If you really wanted that information kept private you shouldn't have shared it with people on the internet or you need to get better friends.
They can remove or hide your screen name at your request. Removing an entire IM conversation has never been board policy for as long as I can remember.

back to the actual topic...
my beef is that the dumb broad in question TOLD ME she was dating Khaladon. Why censor out her name? Why delete a post that refers to HER telling me this?
Unless Khaladon's embarrassed to have people actually know who he's dating, I don't understand how that can be taken as a personal insult.
Let me quote this for example. An IM was removed because they complained. I complained, something of mine wasn't deleted.
Moderating seems quite biased.
Edited to add: Yes Dev, the whole message was deleted, as I read it yesterday.
As far as mine, they wouldn't even fuzz my name out. They simply said to deal with it, that it wasn't divulging personal information.
Theres a difference between complaining and spaming mods u2u boxes with reports for just about every single post on the board.
PS: If I recall correctly we didn't edit out your name because it was supplied by YOU in your profile... dumbass.

Right right, and it was also my fault that the whole thing started. I told them to put up a picture of me that was against the rules, and everything that happened after that.
Right.
Yea because my post definitely implied that rather than implying that:
A.) you need to learn to differentiate between complaining about an issue and spamming u2u's
B.) your SN wasn't edited out of posts because you had it in your profile at the time which was available for public viewing.
I was going to mention here how you really need to work on your reading comprehension but you know I didn't want this post to be flagged for a personal insult for making fun of your learning disabilities...

Wouldn't it be much more constructive to keep your mouth shut about that whole incident? Rather then bring it back up as often as you do? Holy bat shit I don't read this board more then maybe oncew a month if that yet each time I do there you are larger then life whining about something other people would just hope faded into oblivion.
You obviously haven't figured out that the majority who post here couldn't give a flying lepords ass if you feel you weren't treated with the respect you THINK you deserve. You must enjoy being ridiculed maybe it feeds some deep set emotional BS and lets you sleep at night.
Lesson number one don't turn on your fucking webcam in your over the shoulder boulder holders that have lost their ability to hold them up. Second lesson sure as fuck don't give any ammo to people because it will bite you in your ass. Thirdly LET IT DIE........think what you may want to think but think it don't post it.

Right.
Um, the picture is in no way against the rules. IT'S A FUCKING SCREENSHOT YOU DUMB TROTCH
Technically, you know it's not against policy. You're whining over and over and over finally got to the people in charge and they decided to remove it. IF ANYONE HAS NOT SEEN THE PICTURE, SEND ME A U2U
Let me quote this for example. An IM was removed because they complained. I complained, something of mine wasn't deleted.
Actually, that's not at all why it was removed. The IM in question references two people, one of which does not want people to know he's dating a fat whore. I can sympathize with his embarrassment because well, that would suck. Your IM however, only referenced yourself and the gay porn you enjoy which you told me about. Your case is different because you're the only one in volved and YOU told me.
Off-topic. Move to new thread.

Actually, it's on topic. We're discussing something that happened recently that is, in some ways, similar (but definitely not the same) as other things that have happened in the past, including the incident that Leetahkin is braying about.
This whole subject is a sticky wicket, and is rather intricate to deal with. There are a lot of things to think about, and it's not always easy for posters to understand all that goes into the making of a decision with regard to information that comes to light here.
In a situation that involves more than one party, it is perfectly possible that one party does not wish information to be revealed while the other party has no compunction about revealing said information. This can result in a person who feels his/her privacy has been breached through no fault of his/hers. They're right. It has. Said information is not publicly posted, nor was it made available by the person who feels violated.

So uh, how does Khaladon's not complaining about it a lot cause you to want to protect the information more than Leetah actually complaining about it, and from all reports complaining about it a heck of a lot?
Kranar
07-02-2006, 01:51 AM
Because when Leetahkin complains about it, she is giving away all the information she claims she wants to have protected. She is also drawing attention to herself in doing so and making it very hard for anyone of us to take her seriously.
As for consistency, I've said it before, I'll say it again and you can point the finger at me all day long and blame me for it as much as you want. We are not consistent when it comes to enforcing the rules, we never have been, and the bigger we get, the more unlikely it is we will be consistent.
We really are not police or any kind of law enforcement. Just a group of folks trying to run a message board the best way we know how.

Hopefully, this thread has served to clear up some misunderstandings without further invading anyone's privacy. I'll be glad to explain anything that happens on my watch to anyone who asks me, as best I can without releasing MORE personal and private information. I'll try to correct misinformation in the same way.
Kranar has said it like it is. There will never be complete consistency since we're not all the same person. We're individuals, just trying to do what we feel is right and fair for as many as we can. You, as posters, can help by thinking before you post something that could be intrusive into someone else's personal life.

It's cleared up my problems for sure, I hadn't thought about the third party aspect of things.
And no, I don't blame Kranar for anything, nor do I blame Harmnone. It was a situation that made little to no sense because I intentially posted something vague (that only one person picked up on originally...at least someone who didn't already know).

I think the mods here do a fantastic job of making sure things run smoothly. However, the true credit is in the creation of the TOS of the board. You've done the hard work by giving the mods a set of attainable standards and parameters in which to do their job, while also letting the participants of the boards express themselves freely.
What the posters need to learn is that the mods exercise a type of power called "discretionary authority"; much like what can be seen with local law enforcement. Those in power have the discretion to act or not to act based on their interpretation and view of the bigger picture.
Of course their [the moderators] actions are subject to review, and the more aggregious mistakes can be corrected; however, on the whole, the mods for this board walk a fine line between allowing posters to be candid and even cheeky at times while protecting the privacy of everyone who posts or does not post here involved, and they walk it well.
If you want an example of discretionary over-authority then one has not to look further than the official forums. However, because of the liabilities involved in being associated with Simutronics, even that degree of moderation is understandable.
