Ban Culture of 2024/2025

So you want a cookie for a gotcha or something. My original post was regarding the bans and silences. I said people are soft. I was quoted to no end and people attacking what I was trying to say. So yes some of the people on here are soft. I stand by that statement and your continuing of engaging with me with trying to have a gotcha moment its kinda cute really.

Best rule out there

I think a better life guideline is to check the rules or laws where you are going. If you can’t follow them, don’t go there.

If you do break those rules, don’t act shocked or hurt if you pay the consequences for that.

It is like someone doing shocked pikachu face and pretending to be a victim after getting a speeding ticket. What did they expect to happen if they were speeding? Eventually they will get pulled over and a cop is not going to just “ignore” it.

Just don’t do the things you agreed not to do! Keep that stuff in your private spaces you own/control. This is what private clubs exist for you know. Why they have existed for thousands of years so that people can behave in ways that may not be acceptable to the public at large.

Bro, I love Ban Culture. Banning bots is the best. Do you know how many bots I’ve gotten banned? I make that one youtuber look like an amateur.

I simply pointed out what I was originally replying to so that we were on the same page with the conversation. Particular reason you’re acting offended?

Which was not the conversation I was replying to.

Can you quote for me where people are attacking you?

Because they responded to you to point out rules and hypocrisy? Interesting.

There is no “gotcha.” Merely clarifying the conversation that I was referring to.

But you sound very bent out of shape that I referenced it. Why is that?

Well for one thing its really what you are trying to do here. You are cherry picking things out of my plethora of posts on this. Seems more like you are bent out of shape for me having a different opinion than you

To be fair, that’s quite common. Saw that a few times today alone.

I’m still shaking my head at the “just follow the rules and you’ll not get in trouble” baits. I have some swampland for sale.

Nothing was cherry picked. Not one single quote. I asked about your definition of soft and how it pertains to this thread. You then claimed you weren’t talking about the thread. I quoted where you were discussing the thread and forums so that you understood what I was referencing. You then chose to attempt snark and change the subject.

Can you quote for me where I am upset in any manner?

I’ve been asking you questions to clarify your views and you have yet to give me one single answer to any of the questions. Instead opting to act defensive and snarky.

How is it bait? I follow the rules. I’ve never once been sanctioned in game in nearly 20 years of playing.

One of my strongest opinions is that if you’re banned there should be a public record that states exactly what you were banned for.

But that’s mostly because I live for whenever people are like “I got banned for doing nothing wrong :frowning_face: I’m just a little guy” and then a mod comes in and says “no, you got banned for calling for an ethnic cleansing”.

I have managed to never get in trouble in any game, ever. Not on any forum, website, or anything else. I am certainly not perfect, but I don’t let my fingers type things that I know are an issue. I try to be polite, or at least civil.

The only time I ever got a forum suspension was an accident because the Mod here meant to remove the flag, and hit the wrong button. It was quickly fixed.

Seriously, if you don’t do anything they don’t penalize you, even if someone reports you. Then if they do mess up, that is what the appeal is for. The CS forums certainly have their share of appeals that were granted for things. Esp some of the spam/advertising stuff. That has been overturned on occasion when it was not actually what it seemed to be at first glance.

I have zero fear that I am going to get in any trouble either…and I do talk in game and on the forums.

Absoluety

Those last two are from somebody who doesnt understand context and cherry pics without knowing what the conversations is about and what is actually being said. I never once said that its ok for anyone to be verbally abusive racist or anything but yet some on here like what you are doing pick little bits out without reading the whole thing.

You said ignore is the best method. I recommend it. If you see bait, don’t reply. I sure don’t. Makes it a lot more enjoyable.

Yet I have clarified myself numerous times and you keep asking me to clarify I really don’t know what else I can give you friend.

That’s been the jest of what I have been trying to say just ignore people move on and play the game you pay money to play

I was referring to here but in-game, it can help but doesn’t always.

I don’t see how this is an attack against you.

Snarky? Yep. Insulting? Yeah, possibly. An attack? Nope.

I’d call that more of an insult than an attack. Probably because you were the first one to toss out the insults.

Sounds more like you got told how your behavior is coming across and not attacked.

I think you’re misusing “attack” here.

Seems like they understood just fine. And nothing they quoted was cherry picked either.

You seem upset and complaining that they pulled the same thing on you that you claim others are acting soft about.

I don’t remember anyone replying to you about it being okay to be racist or anything. So I’m not even sure where you got that from.

You are playing victim for some odd reason though.

No one carry picked. No one claimed you said it was okay to be racist or anything. No one attacked you. Did they give you attitude back when you insulted people? Sure.

But somehow your insults are okay and people are too soft… yet you’re the one offended and playing victim.

:thinking:

You have not. 99% of my questions have gone unanswered and you deflect.

You and I seem to have a difference in opinion on this one

I wasnt playing victim to begin with I was making a point people started insulting me. I didnt really care I was point out where they were as you requested you can tear my reply apart all you want
People are soft. They get offended easily in every aspect of life as it goes without saying/ I dont know how many times I have to repeat this, you continuting to engage shows that something either offends you with anything I’ve said or you just troll the forums for the gotcha as I was talking about earlier.
I explained to you what softness is the inability to handle disagreements by resorting to slander/attacks.
All of what I have posted started as a response to the OP about people getting banned. I responded because people are soft and cant deal with a difference in opinion. Sound familiar.

Is this the new boogeyman
