System Wars is evolving

I think promoting a positive environment is the wrong idea. System Wars should promote conflict. Entertainment is why we're here, after all. ActionRemix

This might get boring fast tho i can tell you because i used to be around IGN and gametrailers before and the negative comments were very, very annoying. system wars change will probably be fun for like a week or so but i can tell you not many will stay here. guess will have to wait and see.. o and Zelda for 5 year olds.. sorry :twisted: :P

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"][QUOTE="Slashless"] Is the word Retard still moddable? :PStaff

We can't give you every single example, but here: "I hope you get cancer"; "JUMP OFF A CLIFF" "take 50 sleeping pills and die"; "watch your back, you are a dead man". We have been known to contact local law enforcement if we believe your threat is worthy of an investigation. DONT DO IT.

i honestly see the "insult" and the "person" as separate things. ... ...and i'm on my route to be the first person to be moderated after the new rules have been implemented. yay.BrunoBRS

The term is a perjoritive used against mentally handicapped; the APA in DSM 5 which is expected to release in 2013 have already stated they are changing the naming and no longer using that term--instead using intellectual disability.

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"][QUOTE="Slashless"] Now dumbass.glez13

Until they start calling themselves the really heavy stuff and this becomes the comments section of Youtube or similar.

I hope the admins will still place some (very)defined limits and avoid the errors of the past with ambiguous rules that could be twisted easily to both sides, while avoiding to become like that.

if someone is insulting you for real then ignore it.

lol yeah happened to me once also, you know im supposed to be level 48 by now but the many times i got moded for trolling were many, trolling for saying X game is bad, trolling for posting on repeated thread, trolling for quoting more than 2 pics and so on :x. but yeah insulting friends in a joke way is pretty normal as you never take it seriously and same for them they never take it seriously but in all honesty i doubt i'll be insulting anyone on here, im just that nice :oops:

and the politically correct world makes me shake my head once again. "retarded" means "delayed", which is an accurate and not-offensive way of describing someone's mental state. just like saying a black guy is black. hell, physics use the term "retarded movement" in mechanics. and when people start insulting others by calling them "intellectually disabled", it will be considered an offense again, and the cycle of ridiculousness will go on.BrunoBRS

There is logical reasoning behind it aside from being "politically correct." There is a stigma associated with the word, and parents of the affected have complained consistently over the years because of it.

[QUOTE="Staff"] This is the first we've heard about the return of caseywegner. Advid-Gamer

lack of listening has been the root of the problem the whole time so this isn't shocking. who knows what you still think i did?

lemmings call me a hermit. cows call me a lemming. sheep and hermits know what's up. i remember the giant bomb stuff. people complained about me banning them even though there's no way of knowing who actually did the banning. most of the time it wasn't even me.

Actually that's still the light stuff and still not the kind of stuff I was thinking about when I said heavy stuff and comments section of Youtube. :o

[QUOTE="finalstar2007"]

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] i meant the funny insults., not people seriously insulting each other. have you never jokingly called your friend "idiot" or something like that? well, i did the mistake of doing it on gamespot, and the mods thought i meant it.

[QUOTE="Advid-Gamer"] Yes i do mind, it has been a while since I have had a problem with casey, like i said it has been a while since I have even seen him post here. I am not going to bother to dig up anything, you dont see it, I dont GAF, many others have at one time or another and I have seen many posters call it out in threads, if you had been around longeryou may have seen some of it when casey was more active on these boards and the acting sheriff.

Did Casey steal your lunch money too?

oh great. now jody is going to think i actually did steal your lunch money and won't believe me if i explain that you guys were just joking.

Here is what I know. A mod that contacts mods and staff to petition decisions made by our community managers is not acceptable behavior. Jody and Synthia showed me the amount of emails and pm correspondence between the 3 of you. Over 100 since July is ridiculous. Synthia alone had over 44 private message responses to you. That's not neglect son. Too much attention not well spent if you asked me.

synthia is fine. jody is the problem. she does not listen. THAT is neglect. would you like to go over what the problem here is?

Damn that was my first suspension. Apparently saying that Killzone 2 has retarted controls means that they are stupid instead that they are delayed. Result: Point loss and 3 days suspension for derogative use of the term retarded. :x

Asking someone if he is a kid or just has small hands after he states that he can grab a Dualshockwith his whole hand with no problem. Result: Point loss and 3 days suspension for trolling. :cry:

Now, hopefully, with supposedly more coherent rules, I will finally reach level 40. :)

Can we now say stuff like TCHBO or TSHBO again? Or is that still a remnant of old System Wars that may never return?Willy105

Also it's fun to see a mod being grabbed by the balls in the same fashion must of us did in the past because of all the ambiguous rules. :twisted:
