I remember getting an infraction for this kind of insult once and never did it again. This user, however, is a habitual offender. I know the rules have changed in System Wars, but I was unclear on whether the guidelines on these types of insults was set by the Gamespot forums as a whole or not. I appreciate any clarification on the matter as I don't want to be seen as flagging posts needlessly.

Sorry Shewgenja, could you give me an actual post number in that thread? I'm not seeing anything like what you're asking about.

For reference, discriminatory language should be brought directly to our attention, and it's best to use the PM all mods feature. Discriminatory language is less about calling somebody stupid, as it is racial slurs or derogatory terms (examples, retard, aspy, ect.)

@darkspineslayer: I had actually deleted that comment, which may be why you are not seeing it.

@Shewgenja Comments like that are not tolerated, even in System Wars. If you see any more that aren't being dealt with, please let us know.

Will do. Thank you for clarifying the rule for me. Hope you're having a great day!
