What i don't support is that you are full of crap in this matter, my point is you claim that myself and the others had no right to report the incident when they had no right to post the comment yet you yourself defended someone for their issue.
You are literally preaching hypocrisy, you are stating right here and now that we shouldn't be defending the mods decision nor should we have reported what you seem to think of as a "harmless" comment yet you were willing to defend someone over the exact same thing. Like i said in this matter out of everyone that was both there and involved you have the least right to do anything
For one last time, I was asked to support last time. And here I am defending the person in question from the unsolicited attacks being subjected by the rest of you. Shaming tactics are not going to change the validity of your argument. The comment is harmless because the target was not offended and it was clearly meant as a joke. That's the end of the story. Anything else is other people butting in their personal agendas. My involvement is a response to the rest of you comin in here on the attack seeking blood. That's it. Protecting someone from gang up bullying is very different from trying to tell someone what
YOU think they should be offended about and asking for punishment even though the actual victim is against it.
You say we have no right to do this but then you dived on in here to state we had no right. Again it's you who just dived on in.
It's reason like this why people say they are fine with an issue because they don't want it to become a deal, just because the original person said they were fine with it doesn't mean others are.
If you saw someone being raped do you have a right to report it? Yes you do.
If you saw someone making comments to what amounts to a child and the child went along with it would you say or do anything to prevent it Matt?
That is literally what it boils down to here, you are saying that because we witnessed someone make lewd comments to child about banging them we shouldn't say anything even though that is called accessory to it?
These are all off topic hypotheticals that have nothing to do with the case. It is a very clear attempt to bait me to use that to say "see, now his argement means nothing." No matter how I answer any of those questions, you'd take some issue with it. If I answered your way, you'd accuse me of hypocrisy, if I answered the opposite, you'd call me a child hater who wants kids to be raped. Blatant emotional manipulation. If you want to talk about the evils of pedophillia so badly, make an MD thread. It's certainly not what this thread is for.
I'm not talking about a joke. You're ignoring me. I'm talking about a hypothetical situation where someone ACTUALLY makes sexual advances on a 12 year old and they aren't offended by it. You're telling me "well, that's just their sex life." So where do we draw the line? What if they were 8 years old, still okay as long as they aren't offended by it? I'm pretty sure we'd universally agree that's emotionally manipulative.
Furthermore, even if you think it's totally okay to non-jokingly make sexual advances on an 8 year old, this still ISN'T A SEX SITE. It's a ZELDA site, and we have rules against that.
This isn't a hypothetical situation. It's a real situation where that didn't happen how you wanted it. If you want to talk hypoethicals, create an MD thread for it.
Seriously we need to stop derailing this thread with this irrelevant nonsense.
For one last time, I was asked to support last time. And here I am defending the person in question from the unsolicited attacks being subjected by the rest of you.
Which is why you were only warned and not infracted. You don't need to break a rule to be warned, a warning just means "don't do that again". This whole thing has been blown way out of proportion and this discussion never needed to even occur.
Actually yes you do. It has to be an actual rule to get any kind of official statement from the staff. The times in the past where we didn't have that limitation, the staff abused it to create false offenses to target people they didn't like.
