This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Ehhh.  That's kind of a strained comparison considering the first and most vocal douche to get topic banned was one of the people whining about the game.

People can say what they like and you have to believe it or you're insulting their beliefs. You're excused from the thread.

That's what, four moderator actions in five pages? What a bleedin' toilet.

You gotta love Rand's mastery of the English language. "In appropriate".

Wasn't he the one who was banning people for failing to use proper spacing and grammar?

:D

Rand has already been Reported to the Mods for Bad Grammar.

I was going to ask the same question as Patrick, so thanks for that very informative link, John. I've been trying to get a handle on the RPG Pundit's views re: story games since I got here, and I finally have some idea where he's coming from.

Quote from: Sacrosanct;556087What happened over there is that they promoted Rand to a moderator and now he's banning people for things like starting a sentence on a new line rather than continue it in a more traditional paragraph form.
What the fuck!! :confused:

I think I won't post there anymore. I have less and less tolerance for assholes.

Quote from: Marleycat;556090Thank God it got reversed I have no idea how you can ban somebody for bad grammar and expect to be taken seriously.
He still got a warning. For that.

I'm not really surprised, considering that when Tentacle Bento was first brought up during the original Kickstarter, the mods already warned that any future threads about the game would come under tightened scrutiny. And it's not even out yet.

(From the latest announcement by Soda Pop, just a couple of hours ago: "The product files have been sent to our printers, and we are in the production process right now. We are still optimistic that we can be shipping product out to all our supporters in August, and out to retailers in September.")

More like the assholes have less and less tolerance for nonconformity.

Someone got berated in that con rape thread there for having the gall to suggest that women might educate themselves in self-defense techniques, which apparently means you're tacitly supporting "rape culture" by "blaming the woman".

For fuck's sake.

A woman should be able to dress how she wants, look how she wants, act like she wants, where she wants, without having to think of being raped.  Likewise, as a cracker I should be able to walk any park at night in South Los Angeles without the homeboys and eses fighting over who gets to kill me, and they should be able to do the same thing in Chinatown, East Hollywood or Lancaster without getting shot.  This not being a perfect world, however, I try not to do that too often, and self-defense training should be something everyone considers.
