Exaclty Lloyd. Nazi is as offensive as it gets.

Whats going on with political correctness, its gone too far on these forums can't people take a joke and poke fun at people anymore without getting sued/banned/infracted. Like i said....i would like to know if chunky reported my post, or was it purely Qball coming in and deeming it offensive. I thought the rules were only if the user attacked finds it offensive i could be infracted.

I agree with Panda with the post deletings aswell (though at times it does shit me)

Simple fact is in most cases ive seen Panda delete a bucketload of posts its appropriate and the spam is shit (no topic keeping attempts i.e Posting a picture in the lol pic thread aswell as adding a comment to it)

But Tai its not necessarily a fact of people cant take a joke and or love political politeness/correctness, its just the rules...(though some cant take a joke/shit stir)

Other forums are alot worse.

Well it simply is.

But the thing is that the word "Nazi" or "g00k" or "ch1nk" (etc etc words that are filtered) get thrown around so offen here its nolonger funny *searches spam thread for "Nazi" "Moderator" and "Panda"*

I dont find the word offensive but then again i am not Jewish nor of German decent. (shit i have a somewhat sick and twisted fascination with Nazi's and the whole WW + the back story)

Im sure if one of the moderators here were to have German heritage and i were to call them out as a 'Nazi Moderator' they may take offence to it on multiple levels. (but then again in reality in order to be a moderator you need to understand rule #1 its just internetz *inserts Cristians pic*)

Sei gwai lo !

i see where both parties are coming from
Q was just following the rules by giving out the infractions for racist slur and 6 points default for personal attcks
truth be told i never saw the posts until the scrren caps were posted
the fact that it was from viet to viet or asian to asian etc doesnt change the fact that it was racist, but personally i didnt find it that offensive at all, quite humerous actually
perhaps 6 points is a little too harsh?

tru sh*t rofl.
dc2dc2dc2 *shakes head* ;)

for the record I'm of German heritage and if I was to be called a Nazi I would be offended, if my close mates called me "that" just mucking about I don't mind, they're mostly Italian & Yogoslav so they get it back lol, but on a public forum it's there for everyone to see and it wouldn't exactly promote this as a friendly environment.

I agree with Q Ball here.

dc2dc2dc2, stop wasting space. You always make noise when you cop an infraction eventhough you know that you are about to get one for any offensive post that you make. And that doesn't even include the other times when you PM to get someone else infracted just because you copped an infraction for a similar offence. Double standards are silly, but didn't expect you to enjoy dishing it out, but yet not being able to handle copping the same.

sorry for not really contributing to thread properly, but... once a kid, still a kid. time to grow up and stop peddling all your time on OH (applies to the obvious individuals)

get a life.

Sorry Jeff.

We all can't be perfect human beings like you. Don't jump to conclusions about people you haven't met nor know.

Thanks.

it sounds like everyone is telling dc2dc2dc2 to get a life.

get a life dc2dc2dc2

I see where the mods are coming from here but then that means that any racial nickname could be taken as an offense

For example saying to greekwarrior "your such a wog" ect

also there are times when people say take your 1 1/2" or 2" elsewhere... isn't this yet another racial stab at someone?

As chunky has stated he took no offense, but i'm sure if a newcomer that had just joined today said it he would. As you spend more time on the forums you learn who can take a joke about heir nationality and have a laugh about being hacked on

Just my 2c

this shit is gay. close it. if u get an infraction deal with it. even if its not ur fault. if you dont like it, join another forum or better yet make ur own. ill sign up but yeah too many cry babies imo

roflol

just to get this thought across, panda is doing a good job deleting spam

he does it every so often, and for all the times i have witnessed mass execution of spam, i feel it was an appropriate course of action

i can see Q is just following the rules, but maybe 6 points is a little harsh...

just delete the post and infract 2 points

its all about tolerance and having fun, yes racism is inappropriate, but it was in good humour in the lounge, in a less than serious thread, so deletion of post and a 2 point infraction would have been better
