I always enjoy the folks that start whining about their 'first amendment rights'.... on a private forum, based in a country that doesn't HAVE a freedom of speech. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or rather does, but it's more restricted in some ways. And yah, private forums in either country can still decide what they will and won't allow, much like most other privately-owned spaces. Just like it may not be illegal to throw insults at other guests in someone's house ... but don't be surprised if you're not invited back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, some seem to struggle with the concept of countries having different laws. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah, I've seen stuff like that on Quora before. Even if most of those are trolls, there are still bound to be at least a few people that dumb.

Guest deleted156886133 Posted August 28, 2024 Share Posted August 28, 2024 I believe the majority of folks in the USA misinterpret what it means to have freedom of speech. They say something foolish then punctuate it with, "I have freedom of speech." and act like that's the end of it. Sure, you're free to say whatever the hell you like but if it's deemed unacceptable by any means, there will be consequences. So, keep flapping your lips but don't be surprised when someone shuts you up. And yeah, expecting that right to be respected on an international forum just makes them more of a fool.

If you say things the people around you don't like, don't be surprised if at least some of those people use their own freedom of speech to criticize it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted156886133 Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 Another pirate goes off the deep end. This one really needs a lesson in how to employ euphemistic words and phrases. The first rule is to not include the word you're trying to downplay. Here's what I'm talking about: One of the latest banned users said, "I use the Pirates of the Caribbean version... ". Now, if it were me, I would've said something a little different like, "I use the less than legit version" or "I use the poor man's version". Anything but what that guy said! The Pirates of the Caribbean version. Hah! Not so subtle, kid! Off ya go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHeadAngel Posted September 4, 2024 Share Posted September 4, 2024 After spending quite a bit of time reading the Formal Warnings and Bans thread, I've deduced something. If you want to avoid being banned, follow these three steps. 1. Don't harass others. 2. Don't try to steal other people's content. 3. Don't try to pirate games. Moral of the story: Don't be that guy. You know the one. That guy. The one no one likes. He walks into the room and acts like he owns the place. He talks smack, steals your food, and then makes a mess without cleaning it. Then, when everyone tells him he's a jerk, he throws a fit. Yeah. That guy. Don't be like him. No one likes that guy. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk as much smack as you like, try to steal my food and you may get punched and then we move on. But intentionally leaving your mess for someone else to clean when you're clearly able to do so really grinds my gears. Even if that someone is someone other than me. It's disrespectful on a couple of levels for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
