Site member deficiency

over 9 years

Lots of players that I use to play with no longer play here. When reviewing the rules, I realized they seem to have minor alterations here and there which I must have missed before. This is when I came across a subjective rule near the end of the rule list

which states-"Excessive insults against one or more persons/groups based on slurs/comments against race, sexual orientation, religion or other similar personal circumstances. More likely to issue the violation if a person being abused has asked the offender or others in the game or thread to cease."

Then I continued and read this-"Posting a hidden link or using scripts in the forums, in game, on a player's wall, through private messages, etc."

Apparently my notes and punishments where from in game. The ironic thing is if you get punished for them, you get forum banned until a set amount of time, giving you no way to report the information. I remember being on a server that did the exact same thing, it was ran by 10 year olds on garry's mod and it was DDOS'd and its admin to user ratio was complete garbage.

Sandbox has never enforced these rules when I played and was known for having no rules at all other then harassment, which was never taken seriously. This site obviously either doesn't belong to Lucid anymore and I just didn't get the message that this game has been tainted by a third party, or Lucid has made a terrible mistake giving people admin simply because experience and no warnings. Just because you don't break the rules as a user doesn't mean you don't break the rules as an admin, especially if you know that the host is stupid enough not to cross check everything they can in such a low populated game.

Let's talk about the hateful comment rule. This involves generalization's that are derogatory. What about generalization's that are not derogatory? What about the words communism and capitalism? This game was addicting because it allowed me to see how tricky people could try to be and how gullible people are even when shown evidence. This was one of the best formats for a social experiment I have seen on the internet. Now I guess because the user base has shrunk due to other games who don't ban for saying something that could easily be ignored by someone with self-discipline and tolerance, Lucid figured to let some random group of people take over the left overs of the user base. In real life, even reporting something like that wouldn't be taken serious in most places as a common folk, as only children act this way, and I mean 12 year old's and lower.

As for the script thing, didn't sandbox have no rules? I guess no safety zone for the people who actually were members of this community anymore to come back to. They will come back here and tell themselves," This site went to the gutters". Actions should be more important then words, as they actually effect people. I don't know what sick planet you guys come from that thought any different, but, ya'll should have stayed there. I'll come back to this site once Lucid snaps out of it or whoever took over the site decides to give the illusion that the site was what it use to be, again. Till then, time to play real games.

ive been playing this game for 5ish years and i miss some of the old players but their absence really has nothing to do with the fact that the mods are trying to be decent people, im sorry you cant repeatedly call someone racial slurs without consequence anymore but frankly this place is better off without you if thats your primary bone to pick with how EM is run

i took a long leave of absence from this website myself and i can safely say that the inability to threaten other players didnt make me think this place "went to the gutters" and quite honestly that supposed rule isnt even all that heavily enforced, i was called a "fake blonde basic b*tch" and fat sl*t and one of those was said by someone who outright said their excuse was that they hate women and nobody gave a crap. so man up or at least learn to change your own diapers you baby

Otherwise no difference.

what world did you come from where words that shouldn't be said in real life can be said on the internet instead? listen, people in the real world who possess far more tolerance and self-discipline than those found on the internet find certain derogatory terms offensive, so why on earth would people on the internet be ok with those words?

derogatory terms shouldn't be used on or offline. they are simply not okay at any point in your life.

You talk about people on the receiving end of the harassment as needing self discipline, but wouldn't it make more sense for the people who are doing the harassing to actually have self control instead? If you can't abide by simple rules then you should have to accept whatever punishment is set.
