Moderation Complaints Megathread v.2.0

I'm about 30% Shawnee and I'm dying to know how he's being racist... How does that name portray "me" as stupid? Chief peepookaka is as offensive as rabbi *****?

and please, dumb it down for me a bit so I can understand...

No need to dumb anything down.

If you think that a game character called Rabbi ***** or whatever is not offensive, there's nothing I can say to make you see the light of day.

If you don't think that playing a Native-American avatar called ***** or whatever, but written in some sort of racist approximation of some supposed Native-American language, and using broken English to express himself/herself, is not an issue, once again, there's nothing I can say to change your mind.

I'll note, in your favor, that calling a black character Mr. Monkey didn't need to be explained as racist. So you're not a lost cause. Congratulations.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a life to go back to. It's now pretty clear to me that Salem hasn't changed and will not change thanks to the maturity of its devs and moderators. Adios.

I haven't broken any rules. That is why you expanded the rules in both cases to suit you. I wish you the best in your journey from a novice and bias mod to hopefully a competent one.

I tried to tell you how terrible your posts were but of course you continued to be overzealous in your attempts to troll in threads where others were actually trying to voice their opinions and ideas. You ended up getting warned and for some unknown reason decided that you'd edit the warning out. I called you out after further trolling towards me specifically and you were banned for it.

I too was warned for what I had said, the difference being I didn't whine about it or edit my post.

Cry more.

My mistaken ban had nothing to do with you. Are you stupid?

She hadn't noticed your edit on her own so why do you think she would have noticed the edit if I hadn't brought it to her attention? I'm pretty sure that makes me the sole cause of your "mistaken" ban.

Well actually he asked you how Chief PeePooKaKa is AS offensive as Rabbi *****. In my opinion I'd say it's not but that doesn't mean I disagree with the point you are making. I'm almost certain if you were to read back when the Tribe and Chief first started becoming more relevant within the game and the forum, many others voice the same concerns as you are right now. However, Jorb and Loftar were even less likely than the new developers to care about such matters and most likely encouraged it.

Yes, sir.

I thought so.

[Kaios]

Damn I go to edit my post to actually add something constructive and neoretard is still posting.

***** off dude.

This post has been judged to be a little too hostile. Tone it down now and if any of you continue to escalate, there will be bans.

Pretty sure this is not the right place for your quarrel.

For the record, it's not that jwhitehorn was always racist in his portrayals, but you'll also find he made many posts like this:

Ah Yes! Rumors of you have made it to our tribe. We refer to you as "ManyLetters" based on our scouts returning with information that you will soon be circulating your thoughts on paper. Our tribe finds this to be a facinating concept. Both the fact that the White Man is capable of thought, and the concept of WRITING their history. We employ a much more sophisticated historical archive known as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_tradition

Tell me how that isn't offensive. The guy played both sides of the fence when it came to culture bashing and that's another reason thrown on top of the stack as to why he deserved to be banned yet never was.

It sure is nice to see that the latest strains of American liberalism are about as generous, tactful, and forgiving as one might expect a totalitarian ideology with universal claim and ambition to be. Let me take a wild shot-in-the-dark of a guess: you are all WASPs? Either way; You certainly have that pathetic, crybaby attitude of the late English puritan -- the kind that brought us Cromwell and prohibition, and that gasps in sheer terror at the mere thought that someone, somewhere might be having fun -- down to a tee.

Your alleged concerns for minorities are nothing but a desire for power and patronage over them, and over others that never asked for your "help", wrapped in the thinnest veneers of protestant guilt and Weltschmerz.

You are a blight upon Christendom. Please remove yourselves from my civilization.

The new rules really did bring out the liberals and turned the forums into a carebear heaven.
