If a rule put in place by the mods is only abused to try and get people banned/punished that they dislike then the rule is not very good and should be removed completely.

Harassment covers it's own clause and if someone wants to say any words not covered by the censor outside of games then the post should just be removed or then punished if they continue, but moderating HC in games is ridiculous and epicmafia shouldn't be a battleground where mods act as a shield for someone who feels offended about someone using a slur.

you have instances like the report i linked and the example given in this very paragraph where the issue arises. it's honestly ridiculous that 3 offenses of using predetermined slurs can get you the same type of ban that notorious users like ABC who spam on the forums. you can't really make people play nice or even really want to follow your rules and trying to force that where people who are either 1) unaware of the rule 2) don't hold the same social views as you are being banned or violated left and right is not the answer

instead of fitting every case scenario into one poorly written rule under a policy that doesn't work, you could work as mods instead of just being lazy and slapping a violation everytime sometimes says a slur

Revenge reporting is quite literally the root of the report system. No one on this site actually reports someone because the are being good samaritans. They are reporting because something happened in the game that resulted in something that pissed them off and they go off to report because that is the one punishment that has a possibility of sticking.

Granted it pulls the stinger out of the point you're trying to get across, but the meaning's the same.

i dont think you should be so fickle to what some internet stranger thinks or says




i, a not gay man, am telling you, a gay man, that you shouldn't feel bad when you see a word that invokes very strongly negative feelings within you

didn't terry post this quote

"To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize"

does that mean what I think it means about what he thinks of the mods? can someone ban him?

I personally like the HC rule because it means I get to cuss out less people. It's greatly improved my quality of life on EM.


Not really?

You've just got to rephrase it to 'The R Word'.
