Left is the rules circa December 2020. Right is as of this morning.

Figured I'd post that since not all changes are immediately obvious and do involve word choice.

The Guild does not tolerate behaviour which incites hatred against, promotes discrimination of, or disparages an individual or group on the basis of their race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or other characteristic that is associated with systemic discrimination or marginalization.

Irony.

You know, I might be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure you were banned because you started going off on some weird rant about race and nothing to do with gun control. If I remember correctly even, you started ranting about how quote "default skin color was white, now it's black" in rpg or some weird shit like that.

I'm also pretty sure you were the guy who went into CA or somewhere on the rpg discord and told everyone covid wasn't real, but sure. Gun control I guess.

because preventing people from making derogatory comments about protected groups and getting away with it because it wasn't individual harassment is totally the same as saying "we are never going to ban black people ever".

there were lots of deliberations in the past because the guild rules only ever covered targeted harassment of individuals; nothing was ever said about groups of people. that's why the change was put in place.

I'm pretty sure you making up lies to smear my name. I was waiting for someone to come along and try to paint the issue for what it was not. I expected you to have some honor and decency to not go after an obvious reply, but you did it anyway. An applause to you.

I was kicked cause I spoke in defense of guns. Don't try that smear campaign on me. I'm too old to tolerate childish antics anymore.

@crocker

You're right. It's only now allowed cause the mods really learned their lessons!

[Ammokkx]

dear god just lock the thread at this point

EDIT: oh shit you can still edit posts in locked threads. That's funny.

[POOHEAD189]

Hey you know what's funny? Keeping your conflicts private hasn't changed, so speak about the rules and not each other or I'll need to step in. Thanx

[mickilennial]

POOHEAD! Do the thing!



Seriously. This thread has outlived its purpose and it would be best archived.

@silentmusician

I only said something because I remember reporting you to the moderators about your behavior. I find it hard someone was banned for just simply saying, I like guns, or being an ardent 2A supporter.

Considering that there were people who were not banned for saying that the Rohingya deserved everything the Myanmar goverment was doing to them, yes, I feel you are lying severely about what you were really banned for.

If it really is true that they banned for for being pro 2A/black then why don't you provide some evidence? Surely this would be a bombshell revelation and it would only be beneficial to you to release such evidence.

Remember, he asked for it:

Oh they're still going. Imagine that.

See: COVID-19 part of the message.

Also, like I said. Just lock the thread.
