put down the mirror.
Well if you can't get a week ban right off the bat for anything then what's the point of following the rules at all?!A couple days, like I said, is so utterly useless and insignificant.

Well given the situation I would say these spoilers as a good example. It's obvious how much trouble it's caused so quell that by showing it's not tolerated. By letting someone get off with something like this shows weakness and cracks in the rules.

Also, you're not really in any position to judge, Alex Jones.
Quote from: SecondClass on August 30, 2015, 12:50:45 AMReally, months for spoiling a video game? You can't be serious.Absolutely.Don't break the rules, don't be an ass. Simple as that. You won't need to worry about the ban if you don't break the rules.It's called deterrence.

The fact that suicidal people can told to kill themselves without consequence is fucking retarded.

By letting someone get off with something like this shows weakness and cracks in the rules.We are not going to ban a user for one week for spoiling a game - namely because the concept of a spoiler is so damn objective to people.In the MGS thread at the heart of this, they want zero discussion on anything beyond speculation. Do we take that concept as a spoiler, something that would limit discussion on any number of games or movies?Spoilers are going to face a punishment, but it will not be a week, or a month, or a permaban as I'm sure someone secretly hopes. I can assure that, and if you don't want to take my word for it, you're more than welcome to wait for Cheat and LC to return.

Quote from: Frigid Farts™ on August 30, 2015, 12:55:30 AMWe are not going to ban a user for one week for spoiling a game - namely because the concept of a spoiler is so damn objective to people.Spoilers are absolutely objective. If they post something that happens in the game, that's a spoiler. Period.I'm not asking for permabans on "THE ENDING IS SOOO GOOD GUYS" even though they annoy me.
The staff does attempt to assist people with mental health problems. We have in the past, and if talked to, we will in the future.
If you can call out members, spam, and harass people without even getting a three day ban, spoiling a shitty game franchise shouldn't garner a month long ban. That's ridiculous.
does that HONESTLY impact your impression of the game?

Depends on each individual case.

It. Won't. Happen.
Quote from: Frigid Farts™ on August 30, 2015, 01:01:48 AMDepends on each individual case.I received no assist in my thread, despite repeatedly being told to kill myself.I explained multiple times in that thread, that I've been suicidal for years.
