Pretty much releases like that one guy that kept doing a char mocking ilu

It's necessary because it's being done right this moment in the thread that was linked. And it still antagonizes and makes it look like we condone it.

If it is as harmless as being suggested then there should be no problem removing it either. There is no good reason to knowingly belittle a person in your releases, read mes, or anywhere else for that matter.

Ohhh? Well that's interesting, I had no idea the forum was going that way. In fact I assumed it was going the other direction with leniency.

Vans put it better, the outside communities look at us negatively, and this doesnt help at all, when you can look in a project thread and see a merry bunch discussing which people to tell to fuck off , someone posting a video telling a creator to go fuck himself, or how many monkeys should represent the mgbr in a stage , you got a problem.

You're going to start... deleting releases until they're made sanitary? Nothing to stop a user providing 2 links, one here, one off site and the one off site continues to contain said list. The drama will come here still.

I don't agree with this, that's far too controlling. It's also not that common. You're making a rule for 2 people. That's bollocks.

Joking aside I don't really see why is this so needed, the
Notes like the "fuck you" lists inside txt files aren't so

Stuff for it. You can also just hide messages without being explicit.

I'm pretty sure that's a form of violation toward freedom of speech but since this isn't a US only forum that goes out the window or whatever.

Overused memes ftw.

Yeah, I've grown tired of it. Fuck Niitris has a better ring to is anyway.

The only thing this conversation reminded me about so far is that the mods are willing to create even more guideline rules just because of one person who did something like that years ago.

I'm honestly starting to think that this has more to do with JZ than whatever happened in the thread itself (And don't bring that "he's not that important/ we don't aim at him/ he's just one more user" excuse, we all know that's not true, especially for some of the staff and ex staff). The issue died so fast it didn't really need something like this thread. If it's a rule you all kept in mind since forever then why even talk about it?

Do you think the one or two people who would do this will stop just because you told them to? If anything it makes them want to do it even more.

Koopakoot, someone calling out JZ with malicious intents after he 'cleans' his readmes is a different scenario. That'd be standard thread derailment and we would split/delete/give a warning or whatever in said scenario.

The difference is that when he willingly releases anything with his fuck yous attached he's throwing the first jab. Don't want people to reply to, or inquire about your ramblings? don't make them public then!

incredible. Massah being an old racist word doesnt go away because "oh its a joke you just dont understand it" which was what you told me yesterday.

Jnp is even saying that we will only start actively enforcing moderation over those things in a week time.
How the hell does that turn in a "we will search every crook and cranny of code and ban creations that are insulting long gone persons" ?

Wasn't Bluestreak out since 2012? Why does that suddenly matter now?

Because this is exactly what I'm reflecting right now.

as far as i can tell it's not going to be any more enforced than posts. it's not going to cause an instant permanent ban. it's not going to cause instant thread deletion. you're all forgetting that staff here are for the most part very lenient and bans are usually not handed out without several warnings and dialogue. all this means is that there's no difference between me posting gbk is a cunt and me releasing a character in which i include a readme that calls gbk a cunt. if gbk reports the release thread then a moderator would have to tell me to stop that shit, because "don't be a shithead" also extends to things i release. i can't believe this thread is still going at this point.

You can all go back to pretend any of you would give a care in the world about this if it wasnt about a buddy.

One other thing, you all seem to think that pointing out very public behaviour is some kind of rude offense, but the public behaviour that causes the situation is not. Can you not see how wrong this is?

if someone gets actually offended, yes, if not, no.
If  you say , tell jz to go fuck a goat and he is mad at you for insulting him, moderators will tell you to cut that shit out, we would also do it if you were telling jz to go fuck a goat in a post.

Who is the recipient to all this "offence?"

Cmon Arpa, seriously? Thats like saying that the shithead rule that exists right now prevents you from posting male pronouns because someone might get offended that you are not considering the ts movement.

If this is a "just in case" rule then whatever.

I've explained my reasoning, what I plan to do, what I honestly am doing, and that's final.

All we ask is to simply remove the offending portions from the readmes for future releases.
