Why was my RP locked? It was titled "15 year old Wigger to be executed." There is no reason to lock it.

It was titled "15 year old Wigger to be executed."
I think you just answered your own question. :p

Someone took extreme offense and thought you were insulting them?

It was an RP 3 or 4 pages long. It wasn't threatening, it was a reflection of my nations views...

Also it wasn't threatening anyone.

Perhaps instead of speculating, ladies and gentlemen, we can wait until a moderator responds?

It would probably be helpful if you posted a link to the thread in cases like this so people can see what you're talking about and so the mods don't need to search the forums to get the thread in question.

you retard maybe, i dont know some one took it offensively, and its a pointless topic :headbang:

What are you? A racist prick? (sorry bout the language)

A simple way to be "sorry bout the language" is not to post it in the first place. Flaming in the Moderation forum is not a great way to make points.

Because I like my own culture?

You can "like" your own culture while mainaining respect for other cultures.

I know. I read it. I was going to reply at one point, but couldn't come up with anything besides the standard "We condemn blah blah blah" that would be more spam than actual RPing. And as my nation has no legitimate RP reason to be interested in you executing someone for the practices mentioned beyond a simple condemnation, I did not reply. It was still an interesting RP, though. Sad it got closed.

Tuesday, this was is more fun.

Why was my RP locked? It was titled "15 year old Wigger to be executed." There is no reason to lock it.Unless there was some OOC flaming going on I'd rather not speculate. I might have responded ICly but it would have just been one of those "we condemn" messages that don't really add to an RP.

I think it's sad when people can't see the line between IC and OOC when there IS one.

I think it's sad when so many people can't see :Perhaps instead of speculating, ladies and gentlemen, we can wait until a moderator responds?Or work it out, right from the start ...

Or maybe they chose to ignore what he said?

What she said. And I suggest you take her advice. This thread is quickly turnging heated, and it is in the worst of all boards for heated discussions.

Please don't post unless you're a mod telling me why it was locked.

I would assume because of the inappropriate title.

I understand that the title is offensive to some, but it was the best way to describe it.

If it would be offensive, then you shouldn't be describing it at all.

I'm sure there could've been several, more creative ways to go about describing the situation in the title.

For example:
Execution sparks racial tensions

Kahta asked that only a mod post in this. Please respect that.

He only asked that a mod post if they could tell him why the thread was locked; that has happened, we are now entertaining how the thread title could've been one considered not offensive. That is allowed.

Stop talking like a mod.

I have every right to post here and make suggestions just like anyone else; if you don't like it, ignore me, there's no need for snide comments.

Should i have named it "15 year old white kid that dresses and acts like he's black, to be executed"?

"15 year old white kid that dresses and acts like he's black, to be executed"?
That probably would have been more acceptable, yes.

I think that would've been more acceptable per NS guidelines... but personally, I didn't see what was so offensive about the first title.

Thanks for pointing that out, but I'm perfectly aware of that. ;)

Darn. I was feeling so smart here :headbang:

bump...

still waiting for the mod that locked it to explain the reason...

The Forums don't record who did what, but as I said earlier, it was locked for the title.

Personally, I include why it was considered offensive to be in with why it was locked.

Oh, well, difference or interpretation. :cool:

Hmm. Maybe we need a ruling on interpretations...

You can't have a ruling on "interpretations," this is a case-by-case scenario, because rules against interpretations predicts event, in which case, is bad for everyone involved.

Sorry, I had a shitty Christmas and am pissed at the world.

I just got done with a 72-hour shift to create craptastic commercials to air between now and New Years which will only get derided and insulted for being stupid and earn me no respect, admiration, or honor. I've effectively wasted my entire college career on a job that produces a product most people think is worse than a group of rabid monkeys could produce.

About the only job satisfaction I get anymore is stealing office supplies and the fact my girlfriend is my boss's daughter.

Ahem.
