MIRAK'S PROFILE

author=BowelMovement
@Mirak: If I've misconstrued your intent, please let me know. Just sounds like you don't wanna be called names but yet expect to be able to do that, which is just as bad as being a SJW who wants to silence slurs and keep being able to insult people themselves.

Well i guess i should apologize for not being cleared about what i mean. That's not how i wanted what i wrote to be interpreted as. I'm tempted to choose the easy way out of my mistake by blaming my idiot-tier understanding of english that makes it really hard for me to extrapolate my points of view into this god damned language but yeah.

For a second i thought you were serious.
I even went to the wiki to confirm that since i have not played link between worlds.

I find catering to absolutely all kinds of people's sensibilities site-wide is an impossible task. Someone, somewhere down the line, is going to get offended about something, and having situations where a person can get punished because the offended party got their way at all times by calling papa moderator is going to become quite unfriendly to people who are (or should), at the very core, be free to express themselves however they please without fearing reprisals from others, even if their ways of expressing are not tasteful to some and downright offensive to others.

Making individual threads that are policed though, could work. As in, make x thread about y discussion and place a little tag or disclaimer appointing certain rules that should be followed inside the thread in order to participate in them, with moderator cooperation for that thread to be patrolled. This way people can get their happy places and people with malicious intent could be rightfully punished for wanting to intentionally start shit with someone.

But site-wide? Pls no. I already had quite my fill of forums that used to be active but which activity slowly dyign until it completely dried up because the place became a complete minefield or sensibilities, where you couldn't take two steps without something blowing up or stepping on a mandragora and getting yelled at in protest. I'd like to continue my freedom of being able to make games where i can call someone a faggot or a retard without people assuming i'm doing it because i hate gays or because i'm an ableist piece of shit.

EDIT: Whoops, looks like my teeth are compromised!

All image hosting websites go to shit eventually though, i haven't seen one that hasn't with the passage of time. When i started going to internet forums i used imageshack because there was no "make an account or we'll burn your family" bullshit like photobucket, and then when imageshack started deleting stuff arbitrarily i moved to tinypic until they did something that made the website load so slowly for me that i didn't bother.

For the present i use imgur.

I wonder why they dropped the fabulous purple link.
