Connor's argument is that the word itself is offensive whereas most everyone else thinks it's contextual. I don't think you're gonna change his mind any time soon.

Where is connor and slow now and their smarmy comments atop their soapbox
IDK man the modding should be more focused on the game instead of HC and stuff One example is that if you go to Bug Reports on the first page (not including the stickied topics that are old) there are 28 threads, out of those 28 mods replied to 6 threads. Out of those 6 https://epicmafia.com/topic/76503 Sonrio says "rip;_;" which is at least a response so it will count. That is an average of 21.4% mod response to Bugs, yet every mod complaint thread has a 100% response rate. The focus should be switched to the game, instead of trying to prove you are good and defending yourself the effort should be altered into actually improving the site and answering questions/issues that users have. Note: Hibiki is the one who fixed the bugs that responded to so good job!
I like how none of the mods don't have a rebuttal to what I'm saying yet still act as if they're holier than thou and completely just, when they're nothing but moral bullies acting vindictive towards users.

I'm pretty sure all of the mods are allowed to watch TV-14 shows except Sonrio, so.

Tbf though slow would get offended if you breathed weirdly in his direction

Roadman won't rock the boat and unban anyone or do anything the mods don't agree with until the mods complaints and the whole ordeal is addressed by Lucid.
It isn't that it won't get done or isn't planned on getting done - just give things time. He's essentially said this several times in this thread now

I think it's really funny how many times all of my violations have silently disappeared when I absolutely 100% deserved them but Ian is banned for making a TV-14 joke

case in example is ian, actually
deletedalmost 10 years

I hate when people think that anyone who talks about HC just wants to use the r word in public. It's more about the practicality of the violation instead of the intent, in which mods are being impractical and treating people like they're perfect informed beings who have the same mindset as them when it comes to worldview or what is or isn't offensive, and those who side with the mods right now are having a heyday to get those users punished in a dogmatic fashion.
not good stuff

Sure, I've gotten myself unbanned for no reason tons of times. Apparently it's a lot easier than getting Ian unbanned.
I think the people who are "in favor" of hc misunderstand the opposing argument.
No one is saying HC shouldnt exist. Mods dont even have the power to make that decision.
It's just that 0 tolerance rules are stupid. especially when mods aren't mentally capable (pls no vio) of doing the 0 tolerance thing without their bias showing.

No, you should stop moderating it so heavily. What good does a rule do if it just keeps getting broken and nobody learns from it? You expect for the community to bend over backwards for your ideals and it clearly hasn't been working despite how hard you rally for people to do so.
