Yeah, I started the thread. I expected it to be silly. But we've had two references to rape now and I think things are out of hand.

I don't know if deleting the offending posts and issuing a warning are appropriate, or if it's better just to lock the whole thread down.

Thanks for your time.


All I wanted was a little evil...is that so wrong? :(

Thank you. :D

I guess I'll go back to being nice now. *Sigh*

I'm not sure yet if I'm going to maintain the lock or just delete posts and unlock.

If you want, I could just keep the whole thing locked; that would be simple. If oyu want to salvage the topic, though, then I'll need a few minutes.

Don't bother, Cog. It was meant as a bit of fun and it got out of hand. No need to make extra work for you. I don't mind if you keep it locked.

Thanks for the quick response. :D

From the linked topic:
Go ahead, modalert me. The mods ruled on that, and it's okay.

This is okay, too: *Burns a baby to death. It's shrieks piercing the silence.*

Describing an action in non-specific terms is okay (if I remember correctly). Describing something in graphic detail is okay only in topics with an NC-17 warning (which the linked topic does not).

The first exaple you posted would fall under "non-specific". The second example, I'm not sure of; that might be limited to topics with NC-17 warnings.

However, I have removed those posts, anyway, on the basis that the topic author controls the topic. Mezzaluna isn't comfortable with that stuff, so it has been removed.

At the request of the topic author, the linked topic has been locked.
