There's apperantly no complaint section, so I'm assuming it goes here.
A couple of days ago, some stuff went down in the 70-79 section, more specifically, the (now deleted) old Ante Amanthe recruitment thread. The stuff that came along with it is what this post is about.
Let's put it into perspective by making it a simple multiple-choice question. Sounds good, no? Here's the question:
Of the following posts, which would you rather ban?
A) "Go fucking die."
B) [post with nothing but inflammatory and offensive text]
C) [funny video to lighten the mood]
Well, it seems like a clear cut case, doesn't it? I'll give you a moment to decide, there's no time pressure here.
Alright, you've decided? Great! Let's hear it.
Oh, you choose answer A) "Go fucking die."? I'm sorry. That's the wrong answer.
Alright, alright, maybe you chose B) [post with nothing but inflammatory and offensive text], well, you'd be wrong. Again.
Clearly the right course of action here is to ban poster C) [funny video to lighten the mood]. It is obvious that this post in specific deserves to be banned. Not just any ban, by the way. A permaban.
That's right. Posting a video is apperantly seen as far, far worse than posting what comes as close to a death threat as possible without actually making a death threat, and certainly worse than being an absolute cunt towards a player in a large amount of your posts.
Don't give me the ''well you should've reported the post then!", because that's exactly what I did.
I'd love for you to explain this to me. I'd love to see you defend this course of action and tell me with a straight face that death threats aren't as serious as posting a video.
Go ahead, I'm waiting.
