For the people who say it's just the internet get over it, or its just a forum and internet is serious business, how many meets have their been and how many real life friendships have been made due to rs? I'm sure quite a bit so it's not just some online forum.

Personally I've been banned twice or maybe three times. I felt it was unjust and bullshit. I corrected skinnypup and he edited his post and mine to say I was wrong but luckily I had screenshot both his and my original post. I posted it up and got banned. That shit shouldn't be allowed.

Thankfully he hasn't been such a nazi and just fails people for no reason but doesn't ban them.

Just to be clear, I didn't ban you for taking a screenshot of my typo, I banned you for being a cunt about it ;)

But yeah, that was stupid of me, and I still feel shitty about that and the other shitty things I said to people back then.

This is exactly what others are talking about with "confusing RS and real life". Being banned from a web forum does not stop you from continuing those outside friendships or attending meets. ALL it does, is stop you from communicating on the forum. If your relationships formed through the forum are real friendships, you should have email addresses, phone numbers, Skype handles, Facebook/Twitter/Pinterest/whatever ties with those people; it's not like being banned from one forum is going to cut them out of your life.

So yeah... it's just the internet; get over it.

Edit: BTW, SkinnyPupp, why is your avatar dressed like Chad Greenway??

Here's a little bit of a different take on it:

Some people have made some life-long friends on RS (I am one of them) and I am grateful for that. The difference between reality and your example of "It's just the Internet" is a bit more than that. What it means to some people is a community of some common interest, be it cars, audio, food, sports, or computers. The list goes on. When you take away the ability to log on or to become a part of the community, that "face" or identity if you will, loses its credibility. Sure, we can all create a new account, but as far as the "community" is concerned, it's just not the same face behind the username.

That being said, I respect your opinion and perspective. I understand where you're coming from and the point you're trying to get across. But to outright dismiss and to impose that "it's just the Internet" isn't very fair. If it bothers you or any one else that people get "butt hurt" over being banned from RS, you have every right not to have to share your opinion on the matter simply or be on the website because, to you people, "It's just the Internet" right?

Perhaps it's easier to say that some people have and know no shame.

How is this clearly racist comment when the user even admits it not ban worthy? Link below leads to Nsfw forum.

i skipped the first 2 pages.

here is a simple question, where was this so called racist remark made?

and why the fuck was the fight club and NWS sections created?

fightclub was made in an effort to create a section where all this bullshit and negativity can go to, away from the board.

NWS section was created for the same reason.

not a hard concept to understand.

!SG 02-26-2013 09:41 PM

if you cant handle the fight club or the nws section, then dont participate.

RFlush 02-27-2013 04:07 AM

Ok !SG, thank you for your in depth response into the matter and your calm help in solving the issue. It's great to see the CFO to chime in and help us out to define the rules.

As for the racist comment, it was towards people from mainland china and to "white people".

It's good to know that in nsfw and fight club we can be as racist as we want. Are we also able to discuss non sponsorship companies there as well?

Again, thank you for your time.

go ahead and try.

if i dont ban you, ive instructed others to.

soliciting and poor taste and 2 completely different entities. you may not be able to tell the difference, but as owner, i have to.

and again, i have no reason nor willingness to go into depth.

again, us chinese invented racism. racism is everywhere. but something must have hit a nerve with you. if you cant handle the comments in fight club and nws, dont participate.

actually, is this thread still on topic, or is it on a new thread but relative to the same topic?

in an effort to be less confused, ill close the thread, you can feel free to start a new one.
