are you intentionally trying to bring [player]Symmetry[/player] into this thread?!!!

C'mon man... Show some class for the Mods. The thread was getting out of hand, and that's why It was locked. Just move on. Seriously, are you going to get all bent out of shape because a topic got locked, that you weren't really involved in? The C&A Report had nothing to do with you. The Mods do know the rules, owen. And if the rules are in a grey area, it gets worked out. Just calm down and move on.

If you're really all that upset, you can still foe the Mod you dislike, so you don't have to see their posts ever again. There: Problem solved.

Congrats to Jdizzlefoshizzle for breaking the one rule of the thread, and for thinking that writting FAMO was a greater contribution to a C&A thread than Owen giving background on the infraction.

#EngageBrain

Congrats to myself for standing on Owen's side too often, its sickening what you lot have driven me to.

congrats to Jd for breaking the one rule of the thread!!! thank you for your effort to get this thread, ONCE AGAIN, locked and or moved, due to off topic posts. congrats for probably not even KNOWING the one rule of the thread!!! although i applaud your recent foray into heavy forum rotation, please do not tread into threads you do not understand and give the mods that "last straw", they are so eagerly seeking! CONGRATS for not following the one rule of the thread!!!-Jésus noir

p.s.-if you think that thread was out of hand, you should go back to the mod squad. they can use some more people like you!
p.p.s.-congrats on showing how little you know about one of the most regular forum goers and their policy on Foe'ing members. the black jesus has never and will never foe a member of CC. i do not believe in EDITING others words so i don't see them. that is for weak minded people, not myself. feel free to foe all you want, i think it is the worst feature on this site.
p.p.p.s.-i find it amusing that my posting actual INFO about the rule, which people were posting incorrect info about, was trolling. i find it amusing that a mod knew my true INTENT, but mods can oh so rarely see the intent behind veiled racist posts ("hey, it was on the news, it can't be racist!!" "hey, we don't know how someone calling you Nshooter is racist, we can't find any instance of THAT being racist online.")... your post is so off base, it is just laughable.

All I really hear is jibber jabber coming from you. It did get out of hand, and that's why the Mod's locked it. Jeesh, you just can't move on. Idk why. Congratulations.

p.s.-yes, that thread did get out of hand with a MOD trolling, baiting and flaming a member for what her perceived INTENT was of that users post. odd that this mod can find intent where there was none. even odder that this mod broke almost every forum rule in that one epic post. congrats again, to the intent enforcer!!

Congrats for not being able to read. My last post, I congratulated you for not being able to move on. Seems you hold on to too much. Just can't let go. What a tragedy... Congrats.

Congrats to certain mods on their idiotic consistency.

Congrats to owen on some beautiful sleight-of-hand, pretending that his comments about the word GAY were somehow relevant to a C&A case where the word GAY was not mentioned at all.

Well played! I'm sure almost 20% of the people reading your "helpful" comments will think they were somehow relevant!

Congrats to Owen for bringing this thread off topic with his own comments about horrible mods, then crying that it is off topic. Genius. clap clap

Congrats to Duk for, apparently, not realising the topic was about a homophobic slur and therefore rather relevant to the word gay.

Congrats to Shannon again for being wrong, again.

Clap clap.

Congrats to Caffeine for either completely failing to understand the situation, or doing a real good job of pretending to.

Should I waste my time explaining? I suppose I have to, just in case your misunderstanding is genuine.

The Awoodness C&A case in question, was about AW's use of the term "a asexual fag". Quote unquote. Personally, I think the statement is a nonsensical stringing-together of words. If one takes "fag" to mean homosexual and not a bundle of firewood, then how could one be homosexual and asexual at the same time? Obviously, it's a pile of rubbish. Personally, the most offensive thing about it is the grammatical crime of using 'a' instead of 'an' in front of asexual.

Be that as it may, it's in C&A, I'm not a C&A mod, and I don't care all that much what happens there.

Now, owen comes prancing into the thread. Subject: Awoodness bigoted comments(SN)

There he says "the ruling on the word "fag" has recently changed"
In fact, that is not true. It has not.

However, in this thread, he gets it right: Subject: General Congratulations

owenshooter wrote:congrats to me for having to give my man Symmetry props, for being RIGHT!!! clearly, people don't know about recent rule changes regarding the word GAY...

The second one is correct. The policy on the word 'gay' has changed. The policy on the word 'fag' has not. That, first and foremost, is why owen's comments were irrelevant.

A little bit of background on this. The word 'gay' used to be one of the taboo words that would result in an automatic warning/ban under the bigotry guidelines. However, the zeitgeist has changed. It used to be that the word 'homosexual' was considered a value-neutral term, and 'gay' was considered a slur. However, the gay community has appropriated the term, and now the word 'gay' is considered value-neutral. It is therefore no longer considered a slur, and no longer results in automatic punishment.

The change was brought about by Symmetry's campaign, and as we all know he is still basking in the glow. He has good reason to be proud, because it was a very dramatic event. Former Admin blakebowling created a special thread to announce "Gay is not a derogatory term" in the mod HQ, and every mod had to come and sign the statement. In all my years as a volunteer on this site, that is the only time I have seen anything like it. Normally every mod has to sign a Volunteer Agreement with certain policies in it at the beginning of his tenure. After that, it's almost never mentioned again. Once in a while a policy changes and there's an unspectacular announcement about it. Other times it's even less spectacular -- the policy changes and there's no announcement at all, you just find out eventually through the grapevine. The unbanning of the word 'gay' was the one and the only time that I've seen this bizarre spectacle of mods being dragged into the front office to sign their names to a policy change. I objected to having to sign the thing (not because I disagree, but because I thought it was a stupidly trivial thing to have to sign) and was threatened with dismissal.

"Gay is not a derogatory term" is now the law of the land here at CCville, and everybody knows it. You cannot be banned for calling someone gay. This protection does not extend to synonyms which may be considered slurs. You can still be banned for calling someone a 'fag' or a 'poofter' or a 'fudge-packer'. Gay is considered value-neutral; those other words are not.

So, you see, when owen stormed into the C&A thread to announce that the policy on the word 'fag' had changed, he was completely wrong. And later, when he congratulated himself in this thread for doing so, he pulled a bit of sleight-of-hand and substituted the word 'gay'. On that word, and that word only, the policy has changed, but it was completely irrelevant to the C&A thread because that's not what Awoodness had said.

Furthermore, by naming Symmetry in his post in the C&A thread, owen was clearly baiting, and if the old rules were still being enforced he would now have a ban coming for baiting, but enforcement has gotten very lax and he knows he will probably get away with it. Owen is a master of playing the mods; always has been, and he is pretty good at knowing when he can pull it off and when he can't.

congrats to the foe feature for cleaning up and streamlining my forum experience!!! the black jesus has spoken!!-Jésus noir

The fact he's too stupid to form an insult doesn't mean he isn't using the word fag in a homophobic, bigoted way. I called someone a fag and received a warning. Personally, I know at least four different definitions of the word. I rarely say it, but even when I do it's not meant in a bigoted manner. That was apparently irrelevant to CC and so should be again. The funniest part is that Shannon was on the side against me in that report (as always) but here is arguing against Owen; it's pathetic.

Congrats, btw.
