Is GAF too strict?

I was considering posting in that thread, but was too tired to properly construe my thoughts. Kind of glad I decided not to, but I'd like to think my opinions are reasonable enough: don't take pictures of people without consent, especially with sexual undertones.

Bringing up the topic again would be bad form, even if you were trying to have a serious discussion, It's a sensitive issue.

.....Nah it's not worth the risk.
 
35. Now think of bish didn't have the change of heart for the Egypt thread. It may have been a similar ban count. We could have had around 70 banned members in total.
 
345 people posted in that thread, 35 were banned.

Not that bad of a ratio.

Exclude everyone who posted less than 5, and we get 46 total number of posters.
Exclude everyone who posted less than 4, and we get 56 total number of posters.
Exclude everyone who posted less than 3, and we get 86 total number of posters.
Exclude everyone who posted less than 2, and we get 140 total number of posters.

Guess I was wrong then. Only 10% :p
 
Too bad about the phosphor112 guy. He legitimately seemed to be trying to make a point but wasn't very adept at making it.

I thought he was fine - people just couldn't accept it. It's just an opinion. I hope he'll survive whatever shit is happening in the meantime, last I knew people were fucking with him for being Muslim.

Once a thread becomes so toxic that it gets stickied and members get a warning to get their affairs in order, all bets are off. He would have survived in any other thread, but this one became poison. Instant death.

Which is stupid logic. "Oh yeah some other people said stuff we've decided is SUPER OFFENSIVE, so now you're going to get banned for making a joke".

I mean I don't care, I know better than to post in any thread vaguely related to race or gender, but come on.
 
I was following it as he was going through it, he stopped at the end of page 6.

Honestly? I think he's just taking a break. In fact, I'm betting on it. Like you said, it's still stickied. Which makes sense since it's about half way through.

He's swapping over his keyboard - his ban button got worn out.
 
In my opinion the thread should be kept stickied for a while, just to serve as a little warning about posting before thinking.

It'd be shame if Sentry was banned. He didn't ask for those responses.
 
This needs to happen in the gaming side.

One simply cant discuss in Vita/WiiU threads these days.

Even port begging has increased quite a bit.

Nah, I don't think that was it. If was a "Burkas for all" type Muslim, maybe, but he was fairly openminded and reasonable.

He just didn't have a good way of expressing himself; tone goes way farther than words.
 
So who got banned? Can somebody post a list or something?
What about Warios weird tag?

Quite true, but I understand his irritation.

Sentry didn't have anything to do with those people getting banned, but honestly, there really was nothing to discuss about "creepshots", they are creepy and wrong, nothing more to it.
 
Still holding my breath. maybe he's coming back for seconds or saving me for last (like a lot of you have suggested T_T)

I do think that making the argument against uploading creep photos while simultaneously spreading creep photos to a wider audience was pretty facepalm worthy. Especially considering the what, 3 times you did it? Probably not bannable though.
