And you need some instance above you to protect you from people over 18 who act childish?

Um, yeah. We should just beat the bejeezus out of people that annoy us... or deal with them in other ways we seem appropriate. After all, there aren't ever any "instances" above us that deal with the disruption of order.


What? Why do you wanna beat up people now? And how, face stab over the internet? You just took up the point of punish misbehavior which just proves that you see a mutilation of your personality here too. I was not arguing from that point.

I was just pointing out how ridiculous your argument about authority (a.k.a. "instance above me" is. Yes, authority exists to take care of things like this so I don't have to. This is equally applicable to police, traffic control, and Internet moderation. I have a limited amount of time to spend on online gaming, and I appreciate that someone is making sure my stay there is pleasant and enjoyable.

I just cant see the damage that is done to matured people when they read a certain word.

I don't know what to say. Check back with us when you become one, I guess? :P


Explain it to me like i am five year old, please. When you read on the LFG board that someone named "Mega_Co*k" is looking for a group to slay Brutus has any chance of ruining you day / game experience.

"You're grounded without Internet privileges, and I should never see you using that type of language again"

Sorry, couldn't resist.

In any case, my view is that anyone who needs an explanation about this issue is (1) not a "mature adult" as per my expectations and, (2) not someone I would like to socialize with. So for me, that's always a win-win. Also, see my comment above re:authority.

The only reason why I don't spend any money on this great game anymore is the moderation policy. It seems childish and stupid.

I'd really like to support them, but I just can't bring myself to give money to a company with utterly retarded policies.

But I guess it's not that bad, I can spend that money on supporting other great indies!

I read why you were muted. You deserved it.

I was contemplating supporting PoE financially when I got muted for the second time.
I promptly desinstalled and made customer support delete my account.
I'm back today but in a very different mood. Stepping on toes in chat, and feeling very distant from that company that caters to the lowest common denominator of political correctness and lawful abidance.
I miss my korean mmo... there was NO speech censorship at all. To me the chat is half the fun of a game, and freedom its most important asset.
if ya say it in the street does god smite you? GGG GOD GOD GOD
i agree that the mods should relax. saying stuff like "thats right my [Removed by Admin] i just owned Piety" is in no way racist.

its just that ignorant and weak people choose to be offended. while its their choice, they are not the only ones affected when they should be. Dont come complaining and demand that others be punished because of YOUR CHOICE of being offended.

In that case, i then demand that mods are removed because i am offended by their abuse.

Your chosen racial expletive is not permitted in any way, as it is defined as "hate speech".

This is not a democracy.

People that get offended by racial slurs are not necessarily weak nor ignorant. They aren't even unjustified in their intolerance.

Grow up and use big boy words. There are 99999999 different words you can use to refer to a friend or "bro" than the N-word.

And it doesn't even offend me in the least, I just think people sound ignorant and weak when they choose to use it in place of any number of replacement words. And, it is also against the rules (which again are not a democratically determined thing), so I make sure to draw GGG's attention to any said violations of such hate speech restrictions.

I would also do so whether or not I agreed with their rules.


What's so special about this exalted N-word?

Shouldn't calling someone a grammarnazi also be hate speech, in the same way calling someone a grammarnig*er is?

Hi everyone,

Just remember, hate speech does not need to be specifically targeted at a specific individual in our community or intended in a derogatory manner to be hate speech. It is, by its very nature, hate speech.

If you are not sure about the definition of hate speech, more information can be found here:
