Re: Do Admins actually play arcade?
You missed responding to my point about Twitter. Twitter is "farther along the slope" than sc2mafia. Is crusading for a small time game more important than defending the rights of the former President of the United States of America?

This is just a stepping stone in the big picture. If you can allow racism in sc2mafia, anything is possible! It will set as an example for everything to come.

Edit: him ignoring all your abuse and grief is him "not being anti mods for the sake of it" - ok, cool mate, whatever floats your narcissism.

Little things add up. The world isn't black and white. Or "Important/Not Important". I never claimed censorship on Blizzard was as important as censoring the president, but it is all connected. The same type of person who would censor someone in an arcade game is the same type of person who would censor the president.. they know what's best for everyone else, and that's the end of it. Maybe those people at Twitter or FB learned to embrace Orwellian censorship at a young age while interacting with different companies online. Over the years we have cultivated a culture of censorship, and its only getting worse.

Re: Do Admins actually play arcade?
So... you're crusading on sc2mafia.com to stop the next rise of some Orwellian state. Major kudos.

Too late, we're already in it. It wasn't too long ago people were losing their jobs simply for typing #FreePalestine. If you do or say anything that goes against what the big brother deems is socially acceptable, the full force of the PC police will come down on you. That is the world in which we live now, and little pockets of the internet like this only perpetuate the problem.

I have taken it upon myself to ban all staff members that take inappropriate actions against players who type #FreePalestine. You're welcome.

There is a difference between israel and jews. I am not sure how "Money-Grubbing Jew" or "im a filthy money grubbing kike" has anything to do with israel or palestine

And you attribute that to censorship, and not the fact that school is out and more people are on during the summer? Interesting.

you claimed there was, or would be, a decrease in activity. I am not even trying to prove an increase in activity, just showing that you're objectively wrong

Re: Do Admins actually play arcade?
Maybe I'm tinfoil hatting too hard here but, you said the thought police doesn't let you say FreePalestine? I'm confused, the Democratic Party in the US is a known Palestine supporter (as is the UN), so uh... if anything I think it's the other way around lol

You'd think so, but the Neoliberal Democrat, PRO WAR party doesn't give a crap about Palestine. They would sooner see it burned to the ground than freed. Just look at what all the establishment types said these past few months. Just look how pro Palestine voices have been silenced in the liberal media. CNN contributor was fired for it a couple of years ago.
Both parties are horrible but the Democrat party is probably the worse. What did Biden do his first 60 days in office? No covid relief, but he made sure to send bombs over to Syria. Its ridiculous... but I'm not going to get into politics here. I don't want this post shut shut down and censored for going off track. There appear to be quite a few admins who are upset by this thread as it stands.

I didn't vote for Trump. I voted 3rd party in 2016 and I voted Biden in 2020 to get Trump out. You don't know what you're talking about... but isn't it just like a neoliberal to respond to criticism by saying "TRUMP BAD"?
EDIT: But lets not get off topic. This isn't a post about politics. I only said what I said in response to Oberon's mention of the Democratic Party.

Isn't there a possibility that less players = more lobbies?
Like, if there is always only 1 player and he keeps reconnecting.
Or if people keep creating and cancelling upon seeing none's there.

im just glad mods can punish you (even if stealth and unknown, who are retired staff, went psycho mode). this discourages me from turning on my oops switch
voss you don't need to argue with this dumbass or be a bitch to put him down. you've a ban button, right?! tf is wrong with you.
tbh, this will just make the forums that much more different from the mod. it isn't just racists that are a problem. it's ppl being homophobic, transphobic, and sexist, things i all forgot.
if you're REALLY going to clean up the mod, then it will probably die

Re: Do Admins actually play arcade?
if i was a mod, i'd MUCH rather be seen as the dictator who bans ppl for slurs instead of someone who just makes them feel bad about themselves without actually doing anything.
it's less fun for me, but being self-indulgent shouldn't be part of being a mod. in ur defense though, i think i'd just snap after seeing several ppl explain why spamming the n-word is okay.

Thank you for reminding me why I ban you from my lobbies.

Re: Do Admins actually play arcade?
While I don't agree with this person's ideas, I think banning someone for asking whether the current policy will kill the game is a draconian. And if I can't laugh about the "but mah freeze peach" threads here, it'd probably drive me to leave the site.
Are you making the case that staff in general is too soft on bigoted content, or...?

Do we have any data over prior year for this time?
Hard to find comparables but even the holiday season was included in the prior period.

Honestly, that much is clear. You are obviously some power hungry neoliberal with too much time on your hands. Nearly 4000 posts in 2 years tells me that you don't have much of a life, out side SC2 mafia. But do go on and tell us more of your fantasies about how you would moderate this community.

i actually think you're being too hard by not just banning the dude. i thought banning would be easier on everyone interacting with this thread. veli will get pissed, but this is just a freaking game site. just DOING something will make us all move on.
however, it looks like you genuinely want to create discussion here, so--although i find this very hard to grasp--maybe ur not trying to be malicious

for example, comments like these are extremely easy to ignore. although this kind of manipulation SHOULD be punished.

Idk which one you mean, many here seemed to be just here to scorn you for amusement. Not everyone can be as honest and forthcoming as aamirus and Helz.
However, I'm not asking about them I'm asking about you. This is your thread.

Honestly, If you do not like what I have to say then you are free not to post in my thread. You're welcome to talk about the topic, but talking about how I need to be banned and how you would ban me if you were a mod is not the topic of this thread... but something tells me you came in here with the purpose of stirring up drama. You have absolutely no interest in talking about the topic, as is evident by every one of your posts thus far.

Could be but I was too lazy to code a bot to count only the started games posts. I think ceko’s evidence of the game being in the top 10 is a good support though

Btw, technically speaking, only the Serious Discussions and Debates subforum is protected from trolling. (Though not particularly enforced)
I feel like it's a question of just years for that to change? Maybe not, who can tell..

He's free to say whatever he wants. I don't need my thread protected from trolls. I just thought that I should say my piece once and get it out of the way. That way when I ignore the rest of his posts he'll know why.

It did look like this thread turned into a brawl though.
Tbh, you behaved yourself well in my opinion.
For some odd reason, some who feel like they can make good arguments also feel like it gives them leeway to shit on others whilst doing so.
I'm just interested to see if this thread is still salvageable tbh.

Honestly ceko I get what you’re saying but taking immediate moderation action against a thread about admins being power hungry nazis just isn’t very tenable. So I personally tend to just let these threads play themselves out. Veliaire helpfully buried himself with that post Voss infracted and we probably should have just closed it there but now people are having some other interesting discussions so why kill that?
