Did you call me? NOW your post holds water, lolol.Originally Posted by JITB
Later, QD.
I'll stop all the tip toeing right now.......
I was the one that brought it up in the mods forum. I didn't think it was appropriate for you to use the N word. I don't think it's funny, cool, or acceptable. I know that everyone at some point and time has heard jokes that included that word and found them funny. I have myself. But to call people that directly is in MY opinion unacceptable. You want to TRY and be funny by using that word, cool. Your perrogative totally. It is also MY perrogative to not like it and take action accordingly. I brought it up to all the other mods attention when I saw it, I asked what they thought of it, and it was unanimously agreed that you should get a time out for it. Matter of fact, even though I brought it up.....I didn't ban you either.
Bottomline is that if you or anyone else sees something that they deem offensive, there is a little icon on the post itself you can hit which will forward a link to all the mods in order to correct the problem. You keep complaining about some offensive posts, yet I've never ONCE gotten a notice of any posts YOU find offensive. So the only person to blame on that is YOU.
People make what THEY think are "jokes" on IA everyday that have either direct or indirect racial remarks. How many times do people not use "beaner", "chink", and now the N word???? Is it funny? Dunno. But there will always be a limit to what you can do on IA and there will always be someone somewhere that cries about that. This is one of those cases IMO.
You got banned and to be honest.....I agree with the ban. You like to say things to get a rise out of people for some reason I can't see. So now, just suck it up and live by the same sword you like to wield around.
Any more questions?
See the bottomline is, the owner said anything goes and you can't get banned for anything being said. So I find it BS that I didn't do anything, and many others have done worse.Originally Posted by Jaimecbr900
This is the WL where it is clearly stated anything goes, and the limits are pushed regulary. I don't know where you are getting this, that myself, says things all the time that offend and to get a rise out of people. Because really I joke around just like everyone else around here.
Wrong. For some reason all of you keep thinking that IA is this rosy little democratic corner of the internet where majority rules and everyone has to agree. It's not. We technically can ban you for many reasons that are not spelled out in any rule anywhere.Originally Posted by TheGodfather
Matter of fact, go over to Supraforums, CL, or some other large and hell even small forum and throw around the "N word" at people like you did. See what happens. Matter of fact, just talk badly about some "high up's" car and see what happens. Every other forum bans people for tiny little offenses and yall keep whining about getting banned for calling someone a "N---er" straight up????Whatever dude.
I'm gonna tell you straight up....you were a douche for using that word directly at someone trying to be some cool dude. YOU think it's cool to do that, fine. Then don't whine when OTHERS think it's cool to ban you for it. It's that simple.
Besides, it's over and done with, so why keep on and on about it. Just don't use that word again. What's the big deal? Can you not do that? Or is that like a bra burning Supreme court type of stand?????![]()
Really? So now you are the definitive answer as to what is "somewhat bad" and "worse"???? In other words, YOU found something offensive that someone else found "funny", right? How come someone can't do the same with you? I didn't think YOU calling someone a N---er was very funny, so there. How 'bout that? How's that any different than you not liking what someone else said???? Oh, wait, that's right.....I can ban and you can't. That's the only difference.So I find it BS that I didn't do anything, and many others have done worse.
Well I'm glad that 9/11 is funny but the n word isn't.Originally Posted by Jaimecbr900
Also, it clearly states from JULIO, ANYTHING GOES IN THE WL YOU WILL NOT BE BANNED FOR ANYTHING SAID IN THE WL.
How does what you did go along with that?
Yes it's over and done, but I feel the need to continue finding out why the owner saying anything goes in the WL means if mods feel like it they can ban, even though it says only Julio and Paul can ban in the WL.
OMG, how many times are you going to say the same stupid thing? I told you and explained clearly that YOU and EVERYONE else can very easily report ANY offensive POST and it will come directly to the mods. It takes about .00002 secs to hit that little icon at the top right hand corner that clearly says "report this post". We will be happy to take care of it the same way we did with you if they are being a douche just like you.Originally Posted by TheGodfather
Don't know how much more clear I can be about that. YOU have a problem with someone's post, then REPORT IT WHEN YOU SEE IT.......not use it as an excuse for YOU to be a douche and fling the N word. Get it?![]()
What I did? I wasn't scared to clarify exactly what I did at all. I was the one that brought up to everyone's attention. I asked them what they thought about that to see if any of the other mods found that "funny", just in case I was just being an old fart about it. Not ONE single one that replied thought it funny, so the decision was made. Period. End of discussion. Get over it already.Also, it clearly states from JULIO, ANYTHING GOES IN THE WL YOU WILL NOT BE BANNED FOR ANYTHING SAID IN THE WL.
How does what you did go along with that?
#1. You can't read. It says ADMINS can only ban people or mess around with the WL. Guess what? There's 4 of us, not just 2.Yes it's over and done, but I feel the need to continue finding out why the owner saying anything goes in the WL means if mods feel like it they can ban, even though it says only Julio and Paul can ban in the WL.
#2. Why are you still at it? Do you really want to go to the mat about YOU saying the N word? Why? Cause you're proud of your Southern Rebel heritage or because you want to solidify yourself as a racist??? Which one? Let me know and I'll be happy to change your avatar, signature, pic, whatever you want so that everybody sees what YOU are so damn proud of. Cool? Let me know.
#3. What could you ever accomplish from this? You think you'll roll back the clock and get "un-banned"????Again, this must be some bra burning supreme court issue for you, but it really isn't. YOU got banned for calling someone a N---er, period. You want to argue about the ban, but I've yet to see you appologize for saying what you said........which in turn says much more about you than even this little cry baby whine fest thread. So keep crying and whining and waving your Rebel flag. I'm sure that just makes you feel all proud inside, huh?
![]()
Seriously, just move on already. It's over and done with. You think you're helping yourself with this? Well you're not. Far more people now know that you are someone that is very very proud of calling people "N--gers". Keep at it. I don't care. When I get tired of this thread.......I'm gonna lock it.
you know i don't know why you keep latching onto this, i've already made it abundantly clear, in both words and action, that it's not acceptable.Originally Posted by TheGodfather

#2 You're also forgetting most big forums have a WL or off topic section that will alow that kind of trash talk in a joking manner. As far as the bashing "higher-ups" that doesn't really go well here either, lolol. But most higher ups on other sites have a huge stick in their ass and a chip on their shoulder. Like i said, if there's certain things you dont want us doing, just let us know.. we'll be happy to follow the rules. But when a post is made by the OWNER of the site stating "do whatever" and then we get banned for it, we have the right to raise some questions about why we got banned for.. doing whatever.. INSIDE of our "limits" ( whoreslounge ).
#3 Correct me if i'm wrong, both of you, but i'm pretty sure what godfather is saying is, why did he get banned for the N word and someone making a direct attack towards him with 9/11 jokes didn't get banned? In a matter of opinion i'd say a personal attack on someone using 9/11 is far worse than a racial slur. People lost tons of friends and family in that... ****** i just a word.. :\
And i'm not here to argue or start **** or blah blah, i'm just saying, if you're going to ban people, at least let us know what's a bannable offense, whenever you guys set rules the majority of th IA follows, there are the 5% of jackasses that don't and they're banned usually for good within the first week anyways. lol. This is a fun forum and the WL is for entertainmentn purposes.. you gotta know you're gonna get joked on if you step in here... I can see how you could ban someone for saying "f uck" in another section of the forums, but that's because it's totally public and sponsors might want to see how this community is without all the joking. Anyways, just my.
So if you realize it's not some Democracy, then why complain when a decision is made and done? You want a vote? Too bad, you don't get one. That's life. So if a decision is made, then it's made. Get over it.Originally Posted by willum14pb
You're supposed to be an adult just to be on this site. I know that doesn't say much for the majority of you since that only requires the passing of a date on a calendar and not an IQ test. So if you have to be told every little tiny word, action, or pic that you can and can't use.....then maybe you're NOT an adult. Do you have to be told when to go to the bathroom and brush your teeth too? Well then why is it that all of you want a super definite list of every word you can and can't use? What happened to common sense? You have none??? Then use it.#2 You're also forgetting most big forums have a WL or off topic section that will alow that kind of trash talk in a joking manner.

Because neither he nor anyone else reported it. If you report it, then a decision can be made. If you don't, then it gets globbed in with the hundreds of other threads. Mods don't see every single post. It's impossible. So that's why there's a "report this post" link. Next time you or him or anyone else sees something they find offensive, then report it. We'll handle it based on the same criteria we used to ban Godfather.#3 Correct me if i'm wrong, both of you, but i'm pretty sure what godfather is saying is, why did he get banned for the N word and someone making a direct attack towards him with 9/11 jokes didn't get banned? In a matter of opinion i'd say a personal attack on someone using 9/11 is far worse than a racial slur. People lost tons of friends and family in that... ****** i just a word.. :\
If you can think of a fairer way, let me know.
You do realize that sponsors, both current and prospective, can see every single thread, post, and link posted just like you? Julio made the WL a free for all in order to keep things lively and light and not so super serious. He didn't make it to be a haven for people to express their messed up views at someone else's expense. It's one thing to relay jokes with racial undertones like laughing at Mexicans, Orientals, BlondesThis is a fun forum and the WL is for entertainmentn purposes.. you gotta know you're gonna get joked on if you step in here...

, women
, Blacks, etc. That's one thing. Fine, funny....ha,ha. But to just come out and flat out call someone a N--ger???? That's different in my book. That's directed at someone specifically and therefore different. You don't get that? Then you and Godfather have a lot in common.

#2 I dont have to be told how to live my daily life, but you guys keep makin up new **** to get banned for left and right every other day, so how is somoene supposed to know what's restircted when it says anything goes? Again, you're clearly not following me on this.
#3 Agreed, i know you guys do your best, but, according to him he did report it and nothing happened, but i have no idea.
# 4 I'm not saying it's funny to flat out call someone a nggr. But it clearly says you can say whatever, if you wanna update the rules to say "don't call a black person a nggr or a mexican a **** and so on or you will get banned" then just put that. Because if we just READ THE RULES AS POSTED it states nothing about that.
Relax, i'm on your side, you don't have to get all uppidy about it, im just stating the obvious from OUR perspective, being you're a mod you think we should just know what you want us to do and not to do. I can understand a "common sense" rule outside of the WL, you obviously dont burn someones ride or call them a nggr or post porn in random ass sections, where the rules are in place NOT to **** around as if it were any other forum. However when you make a section a free for all expect it to be that way. All we're asking for is a heads up as to why you would ban us, and we'll stay away from it. Thus, making your job easier because you won't ha ve a bunch of **** heads running around breaking your "rules" and you having to ban them and deal with idiotic threads/pm's such as this one.
