"- Flaming. It has been removed but we'll moderate this if it's hate-speech, death threats and such because we get involved with it when it gets bad.

- Vulgar language: We wont be stripping the automatic censor and it will still work as intended but people will no longer get moderated for censor bypassing. However we haven't thrown the rule totally out of the window. We all know that there are certain words as well as contexts that not be condoned on the site, racial slurs being one of them."

Don't like it. Pretty sure there isn't a way yet, but if they remove this from ToU then I wish they'd give us an "ignore" button.

Oh dear. This might be then end of my lurking days here...deershadow

I'm half expecting to come back to the forums a week from now and see dead bodies of security guards littering the floors and profanity and memes written all over the walls with fire exploding out from the windows.FrostyPhantasm

[QUOTE="rawsavon"] Under the old TOU, you had to call stupid people stupid in such a manner that they never really understood you were calling them stupid.

[QUOTE="gameguy6700"] This. The one thing I hated most about GS is that I had to dignify stupid people's stupid opinions with an actual argument (which they often couldn't understand or would just ignore) instead of just being able to tell them how stupid they were and move on.

I think that this is a TERRIBLE changeDan_Bodger

So we can jump on the furniture and stuff finallyRobboElRobbo

Quick question: When it comes to vulger language is everything except slurs fair game now? And what constitutes a slur? Will I still get modded for saying "retarded" in a context where it doesn't mean "clinical diagnosis used to identify a person of below average intelligence"?gameguy6700

xaos you are stupid for your idiotic views on physics -Sun_Tzu-

I really like these changes. Some people are so utterly obnoxious that it feels good to call them out.

Are these changes all ready in effect?

Will hopefully make things around here more lively and fun. I'll drink to this.

Not drink to a Jandurin extent, but still enough to be merry.

gamespot will never be the f*cken same

Depends on how brazen the person is.

If a person is just being an idiot, then I won't call them one.

But if somebody is being an idiot with a condescending attitude or if someone is being a hyprocrite, I will absolutely call them out on it.

The people who try and bait people into insulting them or otherwise hide behind the rules will be devastated by these changes. :lol:
