If you followed the challenge thread you would realized that my intent was the OPPOSITE of mysoginist behaviour. But yeah, it's easyer to condamn than trying to understand what's behind the apparances. Also, what does the second, the third, the forth account have to be with mysoginism? They didn't have anything about what you said.

My argument is that others have REAL RACIST ACCOUNTS not banned, not fakes, not troll or whatever. Real people that played 100 200 300 games with those nicks and still are there.
The second argument was that i haven't see any rules about that WHEN I GOT BANNED AND THERE WASN'T ANY REASON SHOWED UP.

Read what i SAY, not what you would like THINGS TO BE. If i was the mod and ban you witHout specifing any reason, any rule broken, nothing, how would you feel? Would you ask any explaination? And when you post something with an account referring to censorship (so nothing near racist or misogynist) that is deleted without any reason, how would you feel?

Those are the answers i want. I don't critique the fact (any site may have its own forum rules), i critique the ways things happened. Like "i don't like you so i will censure everthing you says about my censorship policy"

I saw it briefly, and what i remember was a fake account with a snarky name pretending to be a female, challenging males. whether you would win the challenges or lose them, and whether you are indeed a female behind the account is irrelevant. you started the thread on the premiss that genres are unequal and challenge for proof of the contrary. you are inciting people to take sides and either troll along for the lulz or raise the gender difference discussion. and you are fueling the thread further on. that is inciting misogynic behavior.

Perhaps i am wrong in some of my claims since i don't know what your 4 accounts are and what they did.

My argument is that others have REAL RACIST ACCOUNTS not banned, not fakes, not troll or whatever. Real people that played 100 200 300 games with those nicks and still are there.


I believe all racist accounts should be duly warned and banned when reported, and that if you see them you should report them. Fizzer not acting on those is a cause for concearn. I for one do not want to play in a site allowing racism.

On the other hand i also believe most of those accounts are made by dumb, and probably spoiled, kids with a poor taste in humor, trying too hard to be controversial because they fail to stand out any other way. Giving them more attention then they are worth only plays into their trolling. It's not our job (as strangers on the internet) to educate them where their parents and teachers clearly have failed.

If i was Fizzer i would warn and ban them as i see them. But i'm not in charge of the site so i just ignore and blacklist.

If i was the mod and ban you without specifing any reason, any rule broken, nothing, how would you feel?


I would feel like i did something the mod didn't agree with, and either stop using the site or change my ways that got me banned. You seriously can't see you did anything wrong there? The mod clearly disagreed. Perhaps you should try think about the reason why instead of getting all high and mighty with reason. You might even have a point, but they are the mods and you are not.

And when you post something with an account referring to censorship (so nothing near racist or misogynist) that is deleted without any reason, how would you feel?


I would feel like the mod caught up with my smartypants way to anonymously complain about something that happened to my other fake account and banned this one aswell because it's only boiling down to more of the same.

Then again, i don't much see the point in being master of the funny clones and duplicate accounts. It's mostly noise mascaraded as internal jokes. Most of them not even funny, and not bringing any value to the threads.


Don't get me wrong. I'm all for the right to free speech, i am anti-censorship and pro the right to anonimity. But this site and forum isn't about that. It's about playing games and having fun. The mods and admins have a role to play in making it fun and free of prejudice for everyone.

I seriously doubt your fake accounts were assisting their work in that department.

I guess you can say you don't care about making their lifes easier and that you are just doing what you thought you were entitled to, and that's fine. So are the mods, and that's why they banned your trolling accounts.

As far as I have been able to read, the only power Fizzer said the moderators have is to create notable forum posts. I can't find any mention of Admins having powers to ban players. This shouldn't be taken as a moderator using their power aimlessly. Also, I don't think multi-accounts should be allowed onto the forum (although this is impossible to police; relatives etc.). I think the rules should be stated much more clearly, and new members should be directed to them after completing the tutorial.

I don't even mind too much that racist's accounts aren't banned merely for what name or profile pic they choose. I also appreciate that the forum, too, is relatively free of moderation (by and large). Yay 'free speech'.

But 'rules' that are made up on the fly or interpreted creatively on a case-to-case basis would bother me too if I were to receive a ban or suspension or whatever. With fuzzy laws there's always the problem that it sometimes looks like a sanction was imposed on a whim. Of course, Fizzer has set few and vague rules on purpose. I don't think this is really the best way to do it.

@AquaHolic: Yeah, sure, he can do what he wants. Doesn't mean any sort of critique on what he does when he does what he wants is automatically illegitimate. I don't see any harassing either. Just a bit of butthurt on Red's side (which appears to be at least somewhat justified - to me).

ps...just drop it. IF you want to understand what i said (even if my english is not the best possible ever) do it, otherwise don't even lose your time analyzing and interpretating every single statement from a personal view. I explained what/how/why i acted and also i said what/why i'm asking explaination about what happening.

If you see idiotic behaviour first and "victimness" than, it's YOUR own interpretation, and sincerly, it doesn't help me to get my answers.

What Red is trying to say it that he is deeply and personally upset that his accounts that have not broken any rules are being banned. Whether his accounts are morally correct or not in the first place is irrelevant, because their are no rules against it.

The KKK was a racist organizations that killed black people. The KKK still exists today. Who are we to insult a group of people by saying their organization can not be put into usernames on a video game website? The KKK today is actually just a white power group their are plenty of black power and Asian power groups as well. In fact, saying that the KKK is racist and shouldn't be allowed is actually a racist comment.
