[charlequin]

In my eyes, the non US-gaffers are suffering in this situation simply because America have an inability to laugh at itself

It's important to understand that, first, everyone's talking in the same room here. In general, any word or expression we keep a watch out for is going to be because of how it's going to be taken by the people to whom it's the most hurtful, not the least. That isn't a US-specific rule, it's a general consequence of how we have to deal with people from around the world all interacting with each other in a big, rapidly-churning community.

But second, suffering... what, exactly? The inability to insult people with a rude name? However different the meanings of a given word may or may not be elsewhere, it's still just an insult -- something that (at best) you slag off your friends with and (at worst) you say to hurt another person. It's not gonna kill anyone to have to spend an extra two seconds thinking about how to express their anger about a football match or a pop performance.

I think most, if not all, of the pussy tags are just puns about people with cat problems.

All the ones I can think of, anyway.

charlequin is "dick" and "cock" ok, like if I call a pop star a dick or something am I going to get banned because it's kinda related to male genitalia.

it may have something to do with your obsessive wish to call people cocks...

Dicks, usually.

I call my friends dicks about 300 times a week.

you call your friends penis way more then you should.

 

[GamerVoice]

you call your friends penis way more then you should.

it's because I hate my own penis I think.

 

[Timedog]

I hate your penis too. Not really. Maybe really?

Okay, I haven't seen it or know any details about it but dicks generally aren't that cool looking (save for one or two anomalies).

 

[StuBurns]

I'm surprised I haven't been permanently banned, I've been banned a lot. And I believe I once read that getting on ten bans, they just permanently ban you anyway. I have to be close at this point.

Do you like foreskin?

I'll go in to more detail after your response.

 

[Timedog]

Please don't go into more detail, I'm drinking vanilla vodka and orange cream soda and I'm ready to get frisky. My trousers might explode off my body.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I've always wondered about that, as GAF seems pretty equal regarding platforms when compared to some other forums I've visited in the past.

They seem a tad more sensitive and fickle.

 

[Mariolee]

So what did Huelen do wrong then? I realize that it's before my time, but as far as I understand it, he just got a little bit crazy about the eyes of Sonic. Was that really what got him a permaban?

There are multiple users with active accounts that have more than 11 bans on them, so no.

That said, no time like the present to turn over a new leaf.

no, dick is something something power fantasy something male superiority, therfore not negative.

I understand exactly what he means though. The concept of completely tabooing a word saying "it's never ok to use this word in any context" and even call it by a different name like "the c-word" is definately an american thing. I've been banned twice and one of them was with the reason "you should know by know that this word is not allowed".

 

[mrklaw]

Damn dude, give it a rest.

is damn ok, could offend religious types.

this place is pretty crude sometimes though, so a little forethought with the language isn't a bad thing.

Slurs, not anything that could offend people. And retarded is probably not banned, though retard may be.

Can you tell us who has the most bans?

GAF trivia FTW.

Tingpic is filtered now so you'll have to enter the URLs manually.

To sum it up he zoomed in on Sonic's eye 300000000x to show off a pixel that was green to prove that Sonic had green eyes. Basically he was deemed too insane even for NeoGAF.

I've seen much more crazy things on GAF

Love that new avi, Cheezmo will never get banned.

Would be fun to have ban kill/death ratios.

That Sonic post was legendary. I remember reading it and thinking wtf is this guy on.

I've always wondered whatever happened to Dragona?

dont insult women

Most of the deaths on that 1000 ways to die show are funny as hell. I don't know if they're real or not but man I hope so, most of them are a result of the person's own stupidity.

the deaths are real but I hate the way the show makes everyone who dies an idiot or an asshole when they're deaths were totally innocent or out of their hands. For example, they had this guy in a wheel chair fall into an elevator shaft, that death was real, there was even a thread on GAF about it. The thing is, on 1000 ways to die they made him a pervert when in reality he was mentally and physically handicapped.

Haha wow, I wonder how they have gotten away with that. Surely their families must want to sue their ass off for doing such a thing?

That's a shame about Red Scarlet. She always seemed pretty cool.

And I thought that Dragona simply retired. Didn't realize how much of a rabbit hole it was.

I remember always doing a little sigh when I entered threads that Dragona had been posting in, she always seemed to have a 'my opinion is always right' attitude that would grate on me. Wasn't sad to see her go and always wondered what happened.

 

[Deleted member 81567]

What is the secret to getting permanently banned from NeoGAFG.com

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Don't use the word 'bitch'.

It's not worth it. That's my advice.

(That was such a ridiculous thread)

So pretty much Eggman, Blame Space and Wilbury and Ortrebor are all the same person.

The fuck are you on about

Wow Dragona seemed like an absolutely atrocious mod, pretty much a worst case scenario for a mod. Would've hated to be in threads with her or her lurking.

I have like 13 bans I believe. I better start behaving well

 

[Minamu]

I just scrolled through all 28 pages and seeing people banned always stand out in these kinds of threads. It's sort of funny to see these people tell others to use common sense xD I mean, what happened to these guys?

 

[Pranay]

I think staying relevent to the topic and avoiding to flame someone or be disrespect to a community is what i try to do.

Also try to contribute to GAF with helpful threads.

However i do into an heated argument with PC - Gaf members sometimes, so i do feel i might get banned soon if i lose my cool.

Apart from a lot of other stuffs what pisses me of is port begging. I do feel mods are quite lineant towards it. [hope i am wrong but that generally what i feel]
The only time i saw some strict action was in MH4 screenshot "where a person was banned for saying the game would look better on Vita".
However threads like Dragon Dogma their was a ridiculous amount of port begging where i felt a small warning would had been helpful ?

The above is a bit irrelevant to the thread but since mods are kind enough to reply to other posts in this thread, thought i would leave it here.

Edit - Halo 4 threads in regards to space required for HDD thread was the worst one

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

Let's just shelve it for now.
