[Liberi Fatali]

This gobshite has been riding my nuts every chance he can on the official forums. Apparently, he decided to get "clever" with me.

So last night I died three times in the new Teras hunting area. I was complaining because the deaths happened AS SOON as I emerged from swimming, which is shite, like. I posted TWO posts on the officials, and in both of them I used the terms "wank" and "feck". I've used those two words plenty of times on the officials before and I've never got in trouble. Today, Emeradan decided to pull them both. In the first post, which he removed at 3:57 A.M., he issued me a warning saying if I used those terms again I'd be banned from the boards. CLEVERLY, he pulled the second post 3 minutes later, at 4:00 A.M., and declared my posting abilities be suspended for a minimum of 30 days. Here are his two e-mails:

Dear TABOR21,

The following message has been removed from the Teras Isle Hunting Areas topic
for the use of a vulgarity, which is a violation of Simutronics Terms and
Conditions (TAC). The policy states that the use of certain words or phrases is
forbidden in Simutronics products since this is a family-oriented service.

Given that "wank" is slang for masturbation, coupled with the masked vulgarity
"feck", your post has been removed from the Forums and you've been issued an
official warning for using vulgarity on the Forums. Your next violation of
Forum policy will result in a request to suspend/revoke your posting privileges.

Please feel free to re-post your message with the violation removed. If you
have any questions about my action in removing your message, please don't
hesitate to email me so we can clarify the issue to your satisfaction.

Sincerely,

Subject: This Is Just Stupid (THANKS MESTYS!!11111111).

If there's one thing that pisses me off beyind belief, it's dying before you
even get a chance. Dying due to swimming mechanics is stupid. Dying before you
even get a chance to make an attempt is equally stupid.

Why is it that there's no 'safe spot' where one can emerge? I don't seem to
recall the Rift having this kind of set-up -- nor OTF -- nor the bowels. Are
creatures SUPPOSED to enter the area where you emerge from swimming? As if a 10
room swim wasn't enough? This is absolute wank. ABSOLUTE.

Even IF I had wall of force up prior to entering the swim (which, with the 10
room swim, it may have fell off before I made it), my DS would STILL not have
been enough to survive. I also have many DS boosting items, and 10x armour.

So, I posted this about him on the officials:


Unfortunately, Emeradan has decided to be a wanker. I did a few posts in the TERAS ISLE HUNTING FOLDER where I used the word "wank", and he deemed it inappropriate. I've used the word "feck" and "wank" at least 10 times in the Sorcerer folders here, and I've NEVER got in trouble for it. In Ireland, "feck" does not imply the F word, but it is moerso a term even used by little kids. I've seen 5 year olds say, "What the feck" before. It's similar to the English word "crap". Wank, similarly, is also used fairly common in Ireland. Apparently Emeradan is a racist. :(



Given that "wank" is slang for masturbation, coupled with the masked vulgarity
"feck", your post has been removed from the Forums and you've been issued an
official warning for using vulgarity on the Forums. Your next violation of
Forum policy will result in a request to suspend/revoke your posting privileges. -- Racist Emeradan.


I made TWO posts last night BOTH using the term "wank". Emeradan, so cleverly, removed them BOTH at the same time. Then, to be even more clever, he issued me a "one more chance" option for the first one, and IMMEDIATELY gave me a suspension from posting for the second one. Way to go, Emeradan, you clever wanker, you!

I thought I'd share this tidbit that you can't say "feck" or "wank" apparently. I won't be able to post for a long while, but rest assured, I'll still be reading.

Tabor, player of JD.




I seriously hate moderators.

[SpunGirl]

Le sneef. It doesn't matter what "feck" means, "mother fecking" is clearly masked vulgarity the same way "fugly" is masked vulgarity.

And I agree, that was clever of him. LOL.

-K

Yes, but I didn't actually say feck on the forums. I said feck IN MY LOGS FROM GEMSTONE, which I PASTED onto the forums. My question is: Why is it wrong to say that on the forums, but okay in Gemstone? You CAN say FECK and WANK in Gemstone -- ask anyone that hangs around JD. I've NEVER got soaped for it, or warned, or anything. THAT'S what gets me.

[SpunGirl]

Not everything questionable you say in GS will have consequences. I've said "sheet" before in GS and gotten an ESEND about masked vulgarity, but that's because it was on the thought net and someone was clearly watching.

Um, posting a log of something you said onto the forums is the same as posting it on the forums. And as I said before, I'm sure it was MOTHER FECKING that was the ultimate problem.

[Sean of the Thread]

Just be glad you post on the officials.. the PC is becoming more facist than the official day by day.


Dear Sean2,

You have received an infraction at The Gemstone IV Players' Corner.

Reason:
-------
Signature Rule Violation/Instulted Other Member(s)

Seven points have been assessed for violation of the Signature Rules. It is not acceptable to insult another member in your signature. I'd already removed a post with this exact statement in it. I removed it as off-topic, and overlooked the fact that it was in violation of the Hostile Posts rule. No points were assessed for the original removal. I was hoping you'd get the point. Obviously, you didn't.
-------

This infraction is worth 7 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire.

Yes, you're probably right. However, I left it on the log as for emphasis to how pissed off I was for dying to something stupid. The second log I did not include, which I will do so now:

Jeez....pleeze nerf the new area...an area that supposed to be harder than OTF.....die, get rezzed, decay or whatever....but damn...take your deaths like a man at least.

[Asha]

Like others said, muther feck is masked vulgarity and wank is slang for friggin yourself off with a crab claw.
You posted both words on the boards wether it's a cut paste from game or not. If you insist on being on the edge of what's allowed and what is not then you have to accept getting nailed from time to time.
But the warn, then ban, when you should have had a chance to heed the warn first was weak. That would have pissed anyone off.

Wah.

[Satira]

The mother fecking mickey mouse bull squash was a bit much to post on the officials, in my opinion. Maybe next time just say, "Yeah I was really angry about it," and leave that part out of the log?

Jeez....pleeze nerf the new area...an area that supposed to be harder than OTF.....die, get rezzed, decay or whatever....but damn...take your deaths like a man at least.

I didn't ask for a nerf to the new area. I'm quite OKAY with dying there. I'm OKAY with an instant death charge to my head -- I'm OKAY with being vaporized -- I'm OKAY to being drown by a maneuver attack -- what I'm NOT okay with is dying BEFORE I even enter the hunting area. That's not even 'hunting'. Dying BEFORE you even get into the area is STUPID. If an Illoke falls on me while I'm hunting and I die, that's grand. I was engaged, I was hunting, it's fair. My case was not fair, and it was just stupid.

Feck originated from Ireland and was put to great and hilarious use in the excellent show 'Father Ted', mainly by Father Jack. It is an excellent way to swear, as you can express exactly the same amount of frustration that you would through using 'fuck', but you don't get in trouble.

[StrayRogue]

He reminds me of Quabu, the way he treats people. I used Badname a few months ago for some really shitty name. Andraste got involved, like she would, saying how it didn't break policy. I said, via report, that naming policy is in the eye of the beholder simply because there is one category that says "silly names". She wouldn't listen (neither would feedback for that matter), She kept saying it isn't silly, like there is a clear, definitive line. Then Emeradan's pipes in, claims that Lucene's name is close to Lucian, which is a character (apparently) from Underworld, and basically tells me to stfu. Gives me the whole Report is used for emergencies only thing. Get over it.

Basically he has the customer relations ability of Brauden.

[GuildRat]

puh-leeeze....you're someone that aspiring sorcerers look up to. If you're not willing to die in the areas that are considered the most direst, then who's to stem the whining?

Yea, from what I've seen... a few GMs can be rather tactless. To err is human and all that

Simu customer relations is appalling at their best of times. This is reflected through the actions of the most recognised GMs, I've noticed.

puh-leeeze....you're someone that aspiring sorcerers look up to. If you're not willing to die in the areas that are considered the most direst, then who's to stem the whining?

Yes, I look up to Tabor.

He reminds me of Quabu, the way he treats people. I used Badname a few months ago for some really shitty name. Andraste got involved, like she would, saying how it didn't break policy. I said, via report, that naming policy is in the eye of the beholder simply because there is one category that says "silly names". She wouldn't listen (neither would feedback for that matter), She kept saying it isn't silly, like there is a clear, definitive line. Then Emeradan's pipes in, claims that Lucene's name is close to Lucian, which is a character (apparently) from Underworld, and basically tells me to stfu. Gives me the whole Report is used for emergencies only thing. Get over it.

Basically he has the customer relations ability of Brauden.

Agreed. What happened to Quabu, though? He was here last year, I think -- and then he mysteriously vanished?

I believe it took you so long because your fingers are so fat*, you were having difficulty in pressing the correct 24 keys.


* Chris always calls me skinny, so it is my duty as a synthetic English citizen to call him fat, despite him not actually being fat (save for in the face). He is my 'friend', not my friend, so I reserve the right to call him the such.

I thought the swim from the back entrance into the bowels landed into a non-safe room. I seem to recall dying immediately upon traversing through the spring/pool whatever it was once. ???

Also, in response to Sean2's post. Funny, I was told explicitly by Harmnone in a previous thread that you could post whatever you wanted in the signature, this was after logging a complaint about Keller's signature.

Which also lands you in a non-safe room, and depending on whether you do it right or not, can also land you in the room stunned for like 5 rounds.

Today, Emeradan decided to pull them both. In the first post, which he removed at 3:57 A.M., he issued me a warning saying if I used those terms again I'd be banned from the boards. CLEVERLY, he pulled the second post 3 minutes later, at 4:00 A.M., and declared my posting abilities be suspended for a minimum of 30 days.

The same thing happened to me on these forums a couple years ago. I made 2 threads within seconds of each other, one called "This tattoo is just....wrong" and the other "This tattoo is just...right," and basically got the same deal from Kranar, along the lines of "Oh, I had to give you points for this thread. And then the one you posted 5 seconds after you got more points for, which is enough to put you in for a ban, bye." Really lame.

But to stay on topic, yeah I agree Emeradan is a huge douche, at least when it comes to the forums. I don't really know him outside of that (I met him at Simucon a few years back but fortunately I was too hammered to really remember anything), but he definitely has a big a stick up his ass with forum modding. I've never had to deal with him in-game, but I can only imagine what he'd be like in that respect. I've had posts pulled by him for incredibly stupid reasons. There's probably threads somewhere around here I created about it, but I'm too lazy to search for it. I think he takes his "job" just a bit too seriously, due to the fact that he probably has no life, and this sense of power and authority makes him feel good about himself. That's all I can really think of as to why he's such an ass of a forum mod.

Emeradan reminds me of a school hall monitor....like a big pussy version of Cartman's hall monitor role in last week's South Park.

[Stretch]

I was never a huge fan of Delyorik, either.

Sean2, did you get warned for posting that thing about the D100 roll and keeping the kid? Jeez. That is pointlessly strict.

He's not.

Heh, obviously. I'm betting there's been quite a few since way back then.

[Sean of the Thread]

I was being facetious... I'm sure the dude that just posted a link to porn last week got points. Not counting him.... can't come up with an example.

I can think of a few including Tabor on his mission to gain points every third second of every day.

Hah! I don't know where you get the idea you're the only one to do anything at all, much less the only one to be assessed points on these forums since Stanley got banned. You couldn't be more wrong if you concentrated on doing so. Oddly enough, we don't report to you when points are assessed against others. Go figure.

[HarmNone]

Hah, actually, if I remember correctly, I've NEVER got any 'points' on the PC. If I have, I've never got a message indicating.

You will get a message if a post is edited/deleted for any reason other than off-topic. If the post is off-topic, no points are assessed so you may, or may not get a message depending on the moderator. Some send. Some don't.

You will be notified of accumulated points once your point total reaches ten or above. If you have less than ten points you are not necessarily notified; although, you will get a notification of the edit/delete if it's for other than off-topic. At least, that's how it was. With the new boards, notifications are sent out when an infraction is given, and the points associated with that infraction are a part of that notifications. The old boards had no infraction system built in.

I thought it was pretty nice when you were banned. As far as I can tell you've never contributed anything positive to this board. But you do have a lock on "That guy who posts pictures or videos that aren't really funny."

On topic, as I said to JD on Psinet. I think that was a pretty slimy trick to hit him twice for the same post like that. I wouldnt want it done to me.

[Asha]

Probably right there. :)
But if you only take note of the shit Methais posts why would you know who Drew was?
Now if you'd been more interested in contributions regarding Gemstone mechanics, roleplay, politics and in game weaponry you'd probably not be laughing up everything Methais posts and instead be wondering who the fuck he is.

[Sean of the Thread]

rofl he made a Bruce Springsteen blast.

[thornhappy]

I don't like Emeradan in an official capacity. He gets high on perceived
'power' like it's the best drug in existance, and it expands his ego to epic proportions. In some situations, he's alright. Others, not so much.

His PC is friends with my PC, but as people or GM/Customer we're not exactly on the most wonderful terms.

Tabor, I think you're a fun feller, but even outside of the 'fecking'.. posting that you said "Mickey Mouse" outloud on the officials... is just dumb. It sets a bad example for 'tards who're already struggling not to talk about what's on TV. :P

Emeradan is a douche, expect that from him.

[Stanley Burrell]

I liked Emeredan's old character and I have never had a problem with him as a GM.

He's fixed more buggy items for me than any other GMs have combined.

He seems sharp and likes to get the last word in on the officials, but I can think of many, many others farther to bagginess on the douche spectrum.

Ive never had any problems with him either. Seems like a pretty good guy. Helped me out of a big jam one time. For that I am forever grateful. Desian is one of my favorite merchants as well.

[ViridianAsp]

I've never had a problem with Emerdan, but uh...using other words like Fecking...when we all know you mean a vulger word. C'mon, we all know you can't use that kind of language on the officials or in-game. He gave you a hard time, because you deserved it. This is an "E for Everyone" game, which means minors play the game, while I do not believe it should be, it is. So dude, think of the younger kids who play, and keep your mouth clean.

[Sean of the Thread]

YEAH!

Definatley right, we wouldnt want the younger kids to see things like vulgarity, or what goes on behind locked rooms in game. The application of the rules/guidelines of Gemstone are somewhat of a joke if you ask me.

:lol:

I have nothing against Emeradan though. He's always been helpful to me when addressing issues I've had, or even when he's popped in to do scripting checks when I'm up late at night due to lack of sleep and script hunting my wizard in Illistim.

Your posting status would be revoked without any IG repercussions if it was a ToS violation on the officials unless you did something really heinous on those forums, anyway.

Ah, I was referring to getting banned from posting, not from the game itself. Although, when I called GM-Ophion a "malodorous pile of trake offal" (a piece of shit) on the officials, Kennesaw tried to ban me IN GAME (see also: my thread on that from a few years ago).

[Daniel]

If a kid can associate the word "feck" with "fuck" then they probably already know the word.

Doesn't mean that we need to use it and reinforce its usage.

In the end it's pedantics.
It's also a result of repeating irritating bahaviour which'll make them pick up on anything they can to fuck you.

[Ignot]

Yeah but some GM's power trip...as sad as that is.

[Daniel]

Doesn't mean that we need to use it and reinforce its usage.

Who cares?

Some kid is not gonna go "See! that guy used a word that can be associated with the word Fuck, therefore I should start using the word Fuck myself".

Some things are seriously not that important.

I used to love posting in the politics and religion folder and having the mods troll for anything that could even be construed as vulgarity to pull a post. As if some kid is going to wade through the dozens of pages of text posted there a day and be like OOOH! He said shit!

[Apathy]

It all falls under the "you know what I meant" rule. Simple grammatical errors should not be harped on since you know what the poster meant. Also, barely masked vulgarity should be pulled and considered the same as its cousin since it is quite obvious what you meant. Like when CNN publishes a story featuring a quote that says "F*ck". How many people look at that and say "I wish I knew what word that was." The only people who do that probably shouldn't be reading CNN anyways.

You obviously meant fuck. Don't act surprised.

But "malodorous pile of trake offal" is really fucking funny.

[Caramia]

You say, "GOD DAMN THIS MOTHER FECKING MICKEY MOUSE BULL SQUASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111111111111111 11111111111111111."

What people are failing to realize (or just ignoring, mind) is that I was ALONE in a room. No one saw this statement but myself. This is the equivalent to having a wank in a public bathroom -- it may be wrong, but no one knows you did it. I find this quite all right -- especially since I didn't receive a soaping, a warning, or even a GM send. My decision to post it on the boards was idiotic, however.

Uh, isnt there an insult verb in the game? Add that to the blood and gore messaging, the obvious COMBAT nature of the game. And people wanna complain about some foul language? You can't pay for the game unless your 18 or older right? You have to have your parents permission? Let us speak how we want, and keep the children out if its too much for them.

I doubt it would get out of hand, and if it did, just tell the person to try and limit their usage.
