Epicmafia

Homophobic Abuse Of Mod Power

almost 10 years

This image has been approved by the previous admin (bronto) and it was no vio'd and approved in at least 5 reports in the last 3 months. It was removed with no reason given by "oliver". I told him that it was already approved, and I reploaded it. He then banned me for 24 hours and removed it again. He said the precedent has changed because this time they reverse image searched it and naked pictures came up. SO?! I'm not using those pictures. I've been using THAT one. The censored one that shows nothing.

If Google was going to take down Epic Mafia over a censored picture they would have done it in the 3 months that it's been my avatar. This is clearly an attack on me and my sexual orientation. Nobody would know these men were nude below the waist unless they reverse image searched it. And why would they do that, unless they WANTED to see them naked? You literally had to SEARCH for a way to give me a violation. oliver and gennehfarrxD should be reprimanded and my ban should be lifted, as well as my violation. This is a clear abuse of power and it's a personal attack against me and my sexual orientation.

We believe this violation is an abuse of power and that the avatar is NOT inappropriate and does NOT violate the rules of EpicMafia.

rutab thinking abortion is wrong =/= telling a woman that to do with her body/expressing it personally to someone who's getting an abortion

yeah, and also equal pay wouldn't be an issue if women were as good at their jobs as men, lmao

he does not think that though. thinking abortion is wrong is completely different

much like it's unacceptable to disrespect an entire gender, race, or sexual orientation, with your bigoted opinions

but hey who's keeping score

Please avoid posting images that are borderline inappropriate images as well(The ones that almost show their willy), I'm trying to avoid giving a violation for a harmless mistake and you should at least respect that there are mods trying to discuss about the situation instead of attacking everyone in the team.

Another bullsh*t violation. What's new in mod land? The process needs to be changed for appeals I think

I didn't repload it to cause controversy. I reuploaded it (one time) because I literally thought this had already been taken care of three months ago by the admin and that oliver would be told off by the rest of the mods for making a mistake. Instead, he 24 hour bans me and genneh swoops in before anyone can say anything in my appeal and sustains it.

That's fair enough, but why not being proactive and speaking to genneh/oliver about this first?

As a fairly new moderator who has no past experience with modding I don't know much about what does or what doesn't violate google ToS, and I wasn't around for the first time Bronto approved of Mikey's image. I personally have no problem with the image at all, I'm just saying there could've been a much smoother way to deal with this. Your sexuality is your business, and whether or not you're gay or straight is not my problem. I'm sorry if you took this thing the wrong way, the mods who dealt with your report have no ill-will towards you or homosexuals.

That being said, we're discussing this issue atm so please, again, I implore you to remain patient. Thanks for taking the time to make this thread. Ciao.

i wouldn't want a 13 year old seeing that.. please don't post pictures like that guys

but if it was a 16 year old it would be totally okay, much like skype sexual harassment, right?

ediz can't overturn it by himself, jill. it already got sustained so now it has to be an admin or collective decision

yeah no I get it. he just HAD to avoid the report and get whoever sustained it pick it up and make the wrong call tho

i think mikey needs to step it up after this is all over. he should upload hotter topless men instead
