...don't get me started on South Park... I was fine without it for years until my b/f decided to introduce me to it... I'm now an addict. The only thing that sucks is knowing something about myself I could have done without... I'm a dreaded ginger kid.

Does that mean we can look forward to seeing the posts complaining about bad players on the server forums deleted? Those are certainly hateful.

Or the "lolXjob" posts?

I miss South Park, actually. I used to be a huge buff of the show, but little by little, drifted off. Not because of anything of the show itself (though, I'm peeved the guy who played Chef left), but it's just one of those things that happened.

I only see a random episode from time to time now. >< Last one I saw was the World of Warcraft one, which I fell out of my seat laughing.

Well, we've actually set a filter to lolXjob. Smiley: laugh

Oh, and by hateful, I do mean within the topic at hand. As in. Racial/Sexist hate speech type of thing, though, I did expect someone to inevitably take anything I say out of context.

Though, it wouldn't be the first time we get a PM that a user is being wrongfully accused of something on a forum and someone looks into it.

I'm only one dude, after all.

My ban finger twitched that day. Then I remember who posted it and where it was posted. More so who posted it, whom I'm not fond of.


Now that I think about it, that particular poster confines himself to the Asylum, even though, there's a particular point that even in there you can't cross. His average score is sub-default anyway, but we still keep an eye on him.

You can find the uncensored version(which is much more offensive without the original censors) on BG forums. Or my blog(which has the original censors), if you can find out who I am.

I don't really care, but whoever edited it really lacks creativity. Moron is a boring word. You are a boring guy. And you took out something important from the story.

It's already been pointed out why I made them black and why the character is racist. This isn't a story about moral development. There are no likable characters in this story. Everyone is a douche. The thugs are your typical stereotypes and they are 2d, and that's on purpose. Same with the character being a void of common sense and decency. Sounds like a train wreck? That was the point. You are suppose to feel awkward and disgust, and shock.

There had to be bad guys to provoke the crazy Summoner in the first place. There needed to be racism to get people to dislike the main character. If you don't get it now, you never will, so it's really hopeless. And you took things too seriously. Like I said, it's a train wreck. Like seeing someone get hit by a car and doing a triple back-flip. You don't want to laugh, but you do.

You should of be a bit ashamed that you edited it. I mean, you can disagree with it, but it's been considered a piece of "art" by some. It's no different than being a school teacher, taking out a passage from a book you are teaching and replacing it. "Anne Frank doesn't die in the end! Superman punches the ***** in the face and saves her! YAY!". I guess you have the will to do something I never would.

I figured if people didn't want a story with word negro, they would have rated me down and the thread would have died. But the majority of people didn't mind. The word negro appears quite early, I'd suggest whoever got offended just hit backspace and not ruin it for everyone else. You knew what you were getting yourself into once "Plan B" appeared. People wanted to be offended if they kept on reading.

But again, I don't care. I'm surprised people rated me up. The last time I did this(it involved a noob Galka DRK complaining about not getting invites, who at the end got tricked into someone's sick Galka underwear party, and finally, ending with Bel-Air) it got nuked to oblivion within an hour. This was originally a troll post anyway. And it won't be my last.

In closing, if anything comes from this, I hope the next time someone posts a thread about meleeing SMN, everyone will just spam the thread with "I'VE SOLOED TIIITAAAANN!!". Because at end, that's what is was, calling Melee SMNs stupid.

PS. Mind of Mencia sucks. If you like me or the story, don't compare me with him.

EDIT: Oh, and they were all teenagers. It's quite clear.

And the race of the Summoner doesn't even matter. When I wrote it, I didn't even put a face of him. The only time thing we learn about his appearance is that he's fat, as he is called that by one the black kids.


I'm a melee'ing SMN, and it cracked me up. I'd like a link to your old Galka story, I'm clearly a fan of your style of writing and your sense of humour, one can hope the Galka adventure was as equally as enjoyable.

RACE WAR! RACE WAR'S ON GUYS!

You know... this thread will just end up being cyclical... and it's a no-win situation for the admins too, you really gotta realize this.

Keep the original racist part in - You offend the over-sensitive .

Take it out/Change it - You offend the people who are obsessive about freedom of speech.

Oh yeah, and to the people who are up in arms and go about saying "OH NO! HE TOOK OUT THE RACIST PORTION?! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS >:[ . WHAT'S NEXT?! THE ADMINS ARE GONNA TAKE AWAY OUR ABILITY TO RATE IF WE'RE NOT PREMIUM. PREPOSTEROUS *takes a sip of pretentious 7.99 Cappuccino*" You're the exact same as the people who are saying "This thread offends me... Racism DSFARGEG".

Whoa whoa whoa there, lets not start having any of that crazy common sense mumbo jumbo here, that's just rediculous. It's funny the freedom of speech was briefly brought up, well, not really more predictable than anything, but the other freedom I enjoy is rarely brought into these types of arguements, freedom of choice. If I open a topic, I read it, and it bores me, is troll bait, or totally pisses me off, I mark it as read, and *gasp* dont open it again. Stop, stop, I know, again with the common sense, I'll quit now.

You would think that, but the fact that it isn't common sense is why I moderated in the first place. Bout it. That whole "just don't open the thread" argument has never worked in this (and most) forums.

Someone had made a sock and reposted the original in this thread. That got him a bann.

Existing non sock account reposting will get nuked and prolly bombed.

Just sayin'.

Clearly I don't spend enough time on here because I haven't a clue what a "sock" is aside from the things I put on my feet every morning before going out to hit squirrels with my Grim Staff.

Also, I'd like to know what exactly got that person banned. Was it the fact that he reposted something you had already determinded to be inappropriate, or was it because he undermined your authority?

The reason I ask is I've been an online Moderator for longer than I can remember, and I fully understand the desire to do the right thing only to have turn around and bite you in the *** once you've done so. Watching someone rebel against your authority, especially when you felt that your actions were justified, is definitely something that's tough to ignore, and the knee-jerk reaction is almost always going to be the Ban Stick.

Doesn't mean the Ban is justified however... if the vast majority of the viewing public disagrees with your decision to modify content... perhaps you should take a step back and re-evaluate your actions as an unbiased third party, instead of continuing to try and defend them from your perspective.

It should also be noted that the "Mods" here weren't responsible for what happened in this thread, only one was, and you stepped up and claimed responsiblity for it. At the very least, you should be applauded for that.

But that still doesn't make your decision a valid one.

A sock is a dummy account. Which, by any means, you aren't supposed to make on this site anyway. That alone is bad.

Then he reposted the story TWICE, one after another, in this thread.

I'm justified.
