by the way, may i remind you the screenshot you guys are so hung about is from 5 years ago?
its a case that has already been dealt with by staff and you're only bringing it up now to help your buddy.
i dont claim to be some type of angel that has never done wrong lol
thats why im not even interested in a serious argument with you morons who cant grasp the concept of consequences, being a person who is intimafely familiar with it
LIVE WITH YOUR DECISIONS.
Okay, so… the thing you don’t understand or
don’t want to understand is that the rules are essentially being bent or changed just to get him banned.
You’re the one benefiting from favoritism here, for some reason.
I’ve read the TOS and TGB multiple times, and
nothing explicitly covers this kind of situation. And even if it did, it still makes no sense to ban someone over a private dm on Discord
, an entirely different platform.
That’s literally why Discord has a block button. Either use it, act like an adult and resolve things properly, or if it really bothers you just throw an insult back if that makes you feel better.
According to the Toribash Global Rules, it says:
Harassment
We wish to maintain a friendly atmosphere and any form of harassment in public spaces will result in an infraction or ban being immediately issued.
“Public space” is defined as:- Game - Any room that is not password protected
- Forum - The entire forum except for private boards
If it is brought to a moderator’s attention and found that your behaviour disrupts another player’s experiences; warnings, infractions, or bans will take place.
It’s even specified that private boards on the forum and password-protected rooms are not considered public spaces, so why should Discord DMs be taken into consideration? It makes zero sense.
And again, let’s be clear: EVERYONE HERE CONDEMNS RACISM.
People just don’t understand why this situation was handled so poorly. Calling someone the n word once while being rage-baited during a heated private argument doesn’t automatically make you a racist, it makes you toxic, at the very least. But hey, the good side is that it worked. The bait was successful, you got your screenshot, and now he’s banned. Well done.
Honestly, I’m not even sure anymore, but I’m probably risking my position as IF just by giving my honest, impartial opinion and standing up against what I see as an injustice against someone I don’t even know or have ever played with.
Luckily, I still have morals and enough common sense to recognize when something just isn’t right. The game is almost dead and everyone seems to be happy to ban people from the community for childish private discussions. Sorry but I love this game to much to let that happen without giving an opinion.
If the rules aren’t clear or no longer apply, then they should be revised, updated, or clarified. Not bent to fit someone’s "personal agenda". Laws are the base of any democracy, if they dont work, then nothing will.
This is my last post here, don't bother replying back because I really dont care anymore. This entire situation is just childish and pathetic. But hey, at the end of the day who am I right?
