As Any one familiar with me will know, Iām a work in progress, just like you Bih . (you know who you are )
Iām vulgar with words and these stones, but Iāve been here long enough to have toned my go etiquette to the bridge of OGS tolerance. Iāve seen many with offense speaking habits.
That said Iāve been banned now for cussing at a Troll (25kyu so I maybe wrong) and I wunna say I said sorry for the reason of rank. But the guy was obviously placing stones where he just died to piss me off. It wasnt far into the middle game so he couldnāt have broke the rope out that fast. Or hoped to time tesuji me.
If I should find the game for debate I will but yo, Iāve said way worse things in chat to ppl that were new to OGS and provoked a game to settle the dispute, as it should be.
Im probably just an arrogant fool, but why do we have profanity filter options if ppl will get ghosted, was sure I was the āunspoke behavior lineā, OGSās very own bouncer for ppl as rude but less funny.
the GOAT scat spatter, a matter of the politically offensive, sincerely Defensive, the unapologetic, the unappreciated, verbal moderator, of OGS haters, sites first frontline hitter, ok Iāll stop that shit, not <š¤¬ though Turn your fucking filter on. cuz I never had one! Hehe
But really think I should be banned from chat? I could care a little less but Iām bored now and losing to all the puppets playing today.
P.s this moderator never told me I was about the wonder why my friends arnt responding in game, how nefarious
Hi RyukBaduk. The mod notes show that you were chatbanned for using the word āgayā as a slur, and not for your chat in the recent game. We noticed other not-great chats that were blocked between those two incidents, as well.
I think you summed up your situation pretty wellāyou tend to chat on the brink of OGS etiquette, and youāve had a lot of mod interactions because of that. Weāve discussed your case extensively in the mod chat because we do think you have good intentions more often than not. Iām sure weāll discuss it again since you posted here. Iād wanna talk to the others before lifting it, however.
Mostly I would ask that you donāt take up too much of our moderators time. They are volunteers and they do an excellent job of keeping OGS a friendly, welcoming place for as broad a community as possible.
I kinda like being a ghost too tho, I really posted because I think the ban should have a notifications on OGS, some players may think all his friends are assholes. Also gay is not a slur, as words like that have other meanings including and literally āhappyā or like slingblade says āfunnyā (queer not haha), also included in your mod home work by, 6pm 8,10,2019 is ban option for other players to view game comments in review mode only, first moves say some gay stuff like jolly good game, or plz handle my stones with care, and or for a bonus trust/cool points for OGS appeal a cool color coating for the 18+ type of players. Ya know one for them ppl with thin skin, just incase they leave the site instead of playing SNITCH.
Just FYI, the guiding principle for OGS is to be āthe best place to play Go online.ā To meet this objective, we strive to be the most accessible to beginners and also the most welcoming. This is part of why we have low tolerance for phrases like ā(Thatās so) gay.ā If you mean āthatās so dumb,ā you should say āthatās so dumb.ā To someone who is gay, itās degrading to hear āgayā being used as the new ādumb.ā It may seem like a small thing, but itās part of maintaining a welcoming atmosphere for all players.
Dumb wasnt even the context idt or isnt when I say it playing go, itās usually more like, frustrating.
Slur is a slur in itself and btw although it says different, on my page, I thought I was living in the states, where speech was free until the internet movement unintentionally, I hope, started influencing that
Haha, I hear you. As a lawyer, I can tell you with some certainty that free speech means the government canāt punish you for politically incorrect speech. We can, and do, to further site objectives.
Free speach means we canāt take you to court for anything you say, but this is a private server and our duty as moderators is to make it an enjoyable and safe place for all to play go.
A guy drives on the Autobahn in the wrong direction and when he hears on radio that thereās a ghost driver he laughs and says to his companion:
āOne ghost driver? Thousands of them!ā
See, what youāre doing here clearly is demeaning anybody āon the other sideā ā¦ I see little chance with such an attitude. I mean, you could just as well ask yourself, āGosh, what is it that Iām doing right that everybody else is doing wrong?ā
Like, āSorry I peed on your precious carpet, but I couldāve pooped on it, wouldāve been worse, no?ā
I think (hope) I know what you mean, but as an anarchist of some kind I must say that maybe you confuse āfreedomā with what many ppl in the USA seem to think of as ālibertyā, which latter, it seems to me, is always the liberty of the stronger to do what they want ā¦ while āfreedomā is freedom for all, and my freedom ends where another oneās begins. Anarchy is not āno rulesā, itās rather āno rulersā, and it definitely does NOT mean āchaosā (as many people sadly believe).
I hear what youāre sayingā¦ I guess to me pure anarchy is as idealistic as pure communism; when you focus on the beautiful parts of humanity it makes sense, but there is invariably someone who ruins it all for the rest. I think youāre right, I did falsely extend no rulers to also mean no rules, and I see now that was a mistake, and perhaps anarchy was the wrong choice of words. I think freedom can have both meanings, and I suspect you were once again on the money, I think myslf and RB were using opposing definitions for the term āfreedomā (I falling on the liberty side, he on the entitlement side). Thanks for the brain food to chew on nothing like long internet discussions to challenge your choice of language and expression
