My Stolen Flag

22-10-2003, 07:48
Is it just me or is it becoming a little hard to breath in this environment with all the gestapo-like-zionist-masonary Mods bullying around anyone with whom they disagree.... Almost everything I've posted has been considered "flaiming" although the official rules for forum ettiqute claim that we don't have to be PC... I'm not PC and you sholdn't have to be... oh, and another thing that gets to me.... my flag was stolen by the mods for no reason at all.... was it pornographic... no, it was a nude woman, similar to the nude paintings of lady Liberty, it was black and white and showed far less than anything you would see in an art gallery.. unless it's a gay-modern art gallery...
MOD ALERT MOD ALERT MOD ALERT I said "gay"

Did we force you to create your nation? Or to even return to this site?

You agreed to the rules when you created your nation, thus, you either play by them, or you're nation is deleted. Seems fair enough to me.

Hey Violet, I would recommend changing the wording to Graphic depictions of Human Anatomy that will kinda cure this kind of stuff, while I agree it may not have been Pornographic if it depicted Sensative parts of Human anatomy, then it is in violation of hte TOS, remember to some folks like the hardcore Victorian types, even cleavage can be considered Porn,

I agree with you, seriously.... but what rules have I broken?
the rules say I can't post anything that is obscene, illegal, threatening, malicious, defamatory or spam but promises that we don't have to be PC.. so why am I getting warnings for satire and sarcasm... I love the game, but why is there such a rush to censore the more mature players who only wish to provoke thought in a free environment?

Needless insults hardly promote "thought". Not to mention, this isnt exactly a "free environment".

I just thought that we could be a little more mature than that..

:idea: to the best of my knowledge I never needlessy insulted anyone, why do you suggest otherwise?

:idea: Which violation did I break, the rule against post that are obscene, illegal, threatening, malicious, defamatory or spam... simply being impolite isn't a violation as far as the rules can say.

well. I have to agree... there is no such thing as obscenity on NS... I have not seen anything toher than nude pictures be censored... however, rape stories and gory stories are allowed... the censorship policies on NS are very unclear and have very.. umm... low standards

lol I actually had that in my post but took it out because I thought it made the post too long, and well Amish and Fundamentalist Islamics probably wont see this site so I considered the part supherphelous.

Just remember dude that there are young kids in schools who play this game in thier world history classes and Social Studies classes. and in soem states suppose a little kid sees your Boobie pic, well his mom finds out and she calls the cops who subpeopna your IP from Max, and you get a visit from the cops for contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Such things are a matter of opinion in the MODs. I would suggest responding to it as you are now, by writing a complaint in the forums. Other than that, you can't hope for much else.

well here is a proposition, post your flag image in the East Pacific offsite forum, and I will see if I can Fix it to meet the criteria to not be Smut?

:!: So why am I being harrased?you know what? i really do not know. i asked a similar question, why explicit pictures were not allowed, but explicit texts were... One of the mods replied saying that if there was a decent RP purpose behind the pic, then it would be ok, as long as it isn't tasteless spam. Your flag, as wrong as I personally think it is, does not break any rule... so it should be allowed.

Just because you fail to see the way the Mods view the rules and what is and isnt legal does not mean there's a low standard...

You might note that [violet] echoed that opinion...

:!: Bring 'em on... I'll take the case to Supreme Court.... Where I'll lose, be cast out of society and branded a sex offender... the only way I'll be able to work after that is by converting and becoming a Catholic Priest...
