Definitely not. Descriptions are much more painful than names. I called him a pretentious kid that needs to grow up and that clearly caused way more damage than the honestly innocuous word "dumbass."

Him being a dumbass isn't proof that your method is superior, it's just proof that he was a dumbass, dumbass.

Ever since the new ToU, I've never once said the swear word that we are allowed to use.

I'm too much of a gentlemen to indulge in such behavior

True on that. I'd like to see descriptive insults instead.

I've actually started swearing less with the new ToU. Having to still star out one letter is so undignified.

People are offended by anything. The only reason someone might not get offended by something is because he is dumbass enough for not knowing what it means.

Kid, immature, bot, drone, fanboy, troll, ignorant, dumbass, etc. All this nonsense could win you a suspension with the old rules.

If you could get it up and running in time for the year-end awards, that would be kind of perfect.

Racism, sexism, death threats, and hating based on religion is what I'm pretty sure is defined as hate speech. They may be more, but those are the ones I know for sure are not going to be tolerated.

Slashkice

Stevo posted the details a few pages back, but it's basically as it sounds: you make a prediction related to System Wars and get bragging rights/shame on your entire family depending on the outcome. You also sign up for a faction, to which you contribute any successes you make on your own.

So for example, say you sign up for the Hermits and post "Diablo 3 will get AAAA!". If you win, you get points for your faction and rep for yourself.

But the review comes out, and you see Tom McShea gave it a 7.0. Clearly, you did not win. At that point, you'd have to do whatever the terms were for losing - anything from leaving GS for a period of time, changing your avatar to homosexual fanart of anime characters kissing, or displaying your failure in your sig. Basically anything you can do in GS is a-okay, but absolutely nothing of monetary value is allowed.

That's the gist of it I think.

I guess just like Hype thread but not covered under anonymous polls and people careing what other people say

I also must add that it feels sooooo damn good when you win. And that it's soooooo embarassing and pride killing if you lose. I was out of SW for 2 weeks when MP3 flopped. I can't remember my winning moments, but I remember being in heaven when Lair flopped.

Ah I see. I thought they were actually bets with money where people would bet eachother what a certain game would score. If that were the case I would never bet with that McShea guy around here. Way too unpredictable

Stevo I'm in agreement with you that my old Topgear sig was better and avatar. Could you if it's not much trouble use the pic I did have in my sig and work your magic on it? You can use my name in the sig and give it a good makeover.

Would appreciate it since I lack the skill to make anything interesting.

Hell you even make me a sig with the Stig and the TG trio in it and do your own thing.

Here is one I found you could play about with as a base.
