Are you a mexican? Why are you so insulted by the word "ese"? Can't you see I meant it as a joke sorta like a digital nudge to ribs/no hard feelings thing? Can I get a mexican witness that's offended by my use of the word?
What a day, what a chuffin day...
I don't think GAF is as strict as some people make it out to be. I've said a bunch of stupid shit in the past and have only been banned like 2 times - once for port begging (petty reason to ban imo), and the last time was a voluntary year ban. I once got banned for making a risque joke about KFC and Africa, but it quickly got reversed when it was proven to be a reference to another thread.

I think port begging is kind of inconsistent, I don't see a lot of bans over this lately when people in some threads keeps complaining about no PC ports, or maybe I interpreted the term "port begging" wrong.

I thought it was "we're ass fucked"
SteveWinwood did you lose an avatar bet or something?
Just because nobody from a certain group may be around (unlikely, because NeoGAF has almost 100,000 posters and has been viewed from every country in the world + Antarctica) doesn't mean you should say anything that might be offensive to that group. Don't talk smack behind anyone's back.
If you accidentally said something that was offensive and you apologize sincerely (no jokes), then you will likely be forgiven, like the poster who recently created a thread about "ladyboys." He explained, everything went OK.
No I am not, I am Native American. I am often mistaken for Mexican though. I also grew up in New Mexico, around Mexicans. And saying stuff like 'Mexican sensibilities' comes off as condescending, even if that wasn't your intention.
The rule has been a lot more lax lately. During the reign of Dragona though, you could be banned for a month for so much as suggesting you wanted to see a game on another platform. I think she had a chip on her shoulder though - current mods seem much more lenient and understanding.

I wish Bish set up a live stream camera at his computer when the public execution happens.
The Creep thread had plenty of questionnables posts, it's been what 2-3 days?
I posted in the mummy thread, but just about the state of a near intact mummy. Pretty safe there, but again...
And apart from Kagari (who doesn't post in OT) I dont see any female mods. When Red Scarlet/Dragonna were there, they'd crack that whip on some of those comments that some think are "funny"
red scarlet was awesome, I don't really remember any crazy bans from her. She seemed really reasonable from her posts.
Didn't want to open a new thread, but would it be possible to request a ban? I've been reading GAF way more than I should given that school is fully underway. I know it wouldn't stop me from reading it, but it'd help deter me a bit. Next May would work for me.

In the post I quoted, you asked if I was Mexican.

What happened to her? She was before my time here.
Scarlet gave private information about a member to Costanza, which Costanza then used to try to manipulate that member (by pretending to have full access to mod information, and using that one piece of info as proof). This member knew Kagari and when she found out about it and investigated it got back to me, and Scarlet allegedly called her a snitch for telling me (that bit is second hand though since I wasn't present). Regardless, I removed her for providing Costanza with private information about a GAF member.
I was about to request a ban last week. Have it be for 6 months or something... but then I crawled back into the crack den which is gaf...

I liked her and her ever changing game playthrough tags![]()
How is banning yourself going to stop you from lurking?
Thanks, guys.

Block GAF from your PC instead.

Perhaps, but it I still find it an odd decisiosn to ban people for admitting to their bigotry outside of GAF. I don't see the issue if they can keep that shit to themselves on GAF, as they've probably learned to do in public.Uh, one word is universally offending as hell to a group of people while the other is offensive in one country. It's not quite the same.
I don't see anybody using the word 'faggot' as a term of endearment.
I was pointing out that the apology came off as condescending. Does one need to actually be Mexican to be offended?
EatChildren gave me some info on you Dennis onthat info will allow me o become a mod, preserver of justicewhy you don't have a Thane avatar

You know what I'm going to stop talking to you now, I feel you are making me walk around in circles. The apology wasn't aimed at you plus it was sincere. The joke wasn't aimed at you either but you took it upon yourself to come at my neck based on your interpretation.
Make what you will of my posts, its your mind.
I avoided both of them until now, I thought the creepshots was about creepy people in photos or something, but its much worse than that.
Your duty to be respectful lies in the level of absurdity or unconventional thinking being indicated in the post you're replying to (or again, quote-on-quote dog piling). Miscommunication is completely at fault of one party in that case. If they're being more collected with their articulation, then you're completely right that a respectful dialog is to be expected from all sides.The onus of respectful discussion should lie on both parties. Of course posters should consider their words and try to be clear, but communication is a two way street. To say that miscommunication is the fault of one party only is ridiculous.
