Less Leniency Options

[Renson]

I saw a guy called RKOFranklin (or something like that) coming back and being a bit angry about some racism on his profile later on this week.
Now, I've looked throughout the forums for some history on this guy, and it seems that he has some sorta overly-exagerated racism fear.
But as well as that, I've seen other people that have been causing or fueling similar interforum-wars.
And one thing they all have in common is a lack of punishment.

So I'm not making a request or a demand here, but why don't the mods/admins deal punishment to people like RKOFranklin?
And sorry if I provoke anyone to start another flame-war...

So I am surprised the staff are not held to the same standard as their members are.

Eh. Megaman is admin. This means it's ECs call what to do with him. For now just try to get used to what he posts...you get used to it after a while.

Not to sound rude, but I could care less if he/she was the King or Queen of England. You say it as if because he is ADMIN he has the right to act in such a way. But from looking at old posts if a member acts that way they get the hammer.

[Dyhalto]

Nonsense. Megaman hasn't crossed any major lines as an admin.
This idea that you have to humble yourself into the role of a politician (always saying the safe thing) is stupid. Admins are people too, and should be able to express themselves.
It's when an admin goes and starts banning people for minor offences or playing with people's personal stuff that something needs to be done.

Express themselves? So if I called you a DUMB SH!T then according to your rule this is OKAY because I am just expressing myself, correct? That makes no sense in itself since you used the WORD Offense:

Offense--- 1) A violation or infraction of a moral or social code. | 2) Something that outrages moral sensibilities. | 3) The act of causing anger, resentment, displeasure, or affront.

This is not about if a member does something BIG or SMALL, either way you say it is okay for him to act like the very people he is disciplining?

[Dyhalto]

You're entitled to call me a DUMB SHIT all you like. Just like I can brush you aside as an idiot.
I'm a fan of free speech. I like to speak honestly and concisely. If you like sugar coated dialogue in an effort not to offend the other party, then we won't be seeing eye to eye on many things here.

People who get offended deserve to be offended.

I'm not offended just saying a person who acts like the people he is suppose to discipline is no better then those he is disciplining. It has nothing to do with freedom of speech, just right vs wrong. I never see eye to eye with those who act like children Dyhalto.

I wasn't saying that he can do whatever he wan't becuase he's an admin. I was just saying that I can't exactly do anything about it. The only person ranked higher in the staff is EC, so if anything is to happen, he'll have to do it.

I understand and apologize if it came off that way.

[Allen Hunter]

Calm down, people. Stop making such a big deal about nothing.

I'm quite calm.

[Allen Hunter]

You were not, a few posts back.

[Mad Klown]

Actually I have been calm during this whole debate with Dyhalto. And as for Ndrd he/she just misinterpreted what I had said and I apologized to him/her if it came off the wrong way. Calm as a kitten. Any words in CAPS was for emphasis and not shouting.

[Allen Hunter]

It's great that you didn't understand what was actually obvious sarcasm in the first place.

[Mad Klown]

Well it's obvious you expect people to read emotions from just words.

[Elemental Crisis]

This whole issue derives from a previous incident involving RKO and Allen (Snes Player) and the use of the word "Nigger". Megaman also takes personal offense to that word because he's black as well and Allen was misspelling the word on purpose to say it which pushed Megaman over the edge.

Seeing how I thought I closed this topic I'm going to do that now.
