So what, in a mods eye, constitutes hate speech? It's ambiguous in the ToU, considering I've been getting modded for insulting someone yet not even coming close to hate speech.

Of course I don't expect a response to this. I doubt the mods themselves even know.

[QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"]

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]So nothing specific about what constitutes the new ToU...or didn't it change. I'm so confused...(m25105

It only applies to hate speech. One warning. One temporary ban. One perma-ban. 3 strikes and you're out.

 

 

Seems pretty fair and reasonable, so long as they don't start playing fast and loose with what qualifies as 'hate speech.' I'm guessing it's in response to the GTA 5 review which, while really dumb, was not an excuse to launch into personal attacks on the reviewer's life choices.

 

Huh? The game got 9.0, last I checked that's a pretty good score.

Yeah it's a great score, anyone complaining about the score being too low is being way unreasonable.

No answer? What, did I say something mean to you at some point in my infamous posting history? If so, I apologize for nothing. I'm sure I meant it and I'm sure you deserved it. ;)

You can continue to be mean to me, if it makes you feel better.

It doesn't make me feel better. I'm a human rights lawyer. I make sure ALL people don't descriminate against each other on the basis of sex, gender, sexuality, color, race, ethnicity and religion. I don't descriminate. Do you? I think that's what Gaza meant. And yes you do have an infamous posting history. You might want to start deleting hehehe.

This TOU is a mix between that TOU and the TOU that was just discarded.I don't think you will be modded for the things you were modded for under that tou, but this TOU will be harsher than the previous one.

I don't think this will be as bad as the old tou. I imagine GS has had a problem, especially with comments, where discussion is full of childish insults and obscene remarks like youtube is loved for, and it makes their site look bad to the public. Same problem at IGN. Looking at what walt said I think they're hoping to find some compromise that will make it easier to flush out people who are on here just to be asses and still allow discussion that's decent and civilised without being overly moderated.

I'll be honest, I didn't read or watch the review (probably cause I don't care about the new GTA), so I just took a quick peak. Is it cause the reviewer is a tranny or something complaining about homophobia or whatever?

Basically new rules to protect them from criticism when they don't do their job properly, so they can come out in support of a colleague who doesn't do their job properly, but then use these bs changes to silence any decenting voices.

Not fond of their constant flip flopping on what is and isn't allowed. You let the rules go....it's kind of silly to try to reign them in. Yes...it's fine to deal with people that personally harass other people which is I guess the issue with the review. But it's not right to expect people to keep up with constant ToU changes. On the other hand, when they did remove the rules....people got harassed here but it wasn't a big deal to GS because it wasn't an employee. Interesting indeed.....

It doesn't make me feel better. I'm a human rights lawyer. I make sure ALL people don't descriminate against each other on the basis of sex, gender, sexuality, color, race, ethnicity and religion. I don't descriminate. Do you? I think that's what Gaza meant. And yes you do have an infamous posting history. You might want to start deleting hehehe.

What in god's name are you even talking about?

If you're actually going to take the time to go back through ALL of my posts in order to report me you are a very sad individual. I'd suggest getting a life. Perhaps a dog, or a boyfriend, or girlfriend, if you swing that way.

[QUOTE="ShadowsDemon"][QUOTE="Nengo_Flow"] no we dont. OT is fine. SW on the other hand... IDK why the let the trolls go on for so long wven tho the mods themselves hate some users they know are trolling 24/7Nengo_Flow
No, OT is not fine. I'm glad we have this policy now. Hate speech shouldn't be tolerated; end of discussion.

. The reason they want to have stricter rules is not cuz of the forums, its becuz of the reaction/comments people have been posting in some of the reviews of games and in some of the news shows GS has.

 

Believe me, I've seen plenty. It might not be "hate" speech, but it comes close to it. I havent really seen hate speech around here
