[QUOTE=starpluck;23569874]God bless the 1st amendment.[/QUOTE] Garrys from the UK so screw the constitution. :smug:
So is racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, homophobia now allowed under the pretext of 'Free Speech'?
[QUOTE=Hezzy;23568196]The free speech policy came into effect a day ago[/QUOTE] That's all we need is for less harsh banning on this damn site. Facepunch was ruined in 2009 when the first wave of less harsh banning came in. The golden age of facepunch is over... :sigh: But odds are i'll never leave.
Fuck Free Speech people use it to act Gay

The bans weren't too bad, but that nazi aspect was still there enough to keep them morons in their place. Let's turn back the clock. [editline]03:51PM[/editline] And also, I'm sure if a potential business interest comes on here and see's that it is allowed to ask for child porn he WILL be scared away. [editline]03:53PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Hezzy;23568645]I think that people wishing that an eleven year old girl would kill herself is "fucked up" too and they should be permabanned for that. However, that is not the case anymore - everyone has the right to free speech.[/QUOTE] Garry's "business forum" telling a little girl to kill herself will also scare off customers\business opportunities.

[QUOTE=Mr. Gestapo;23568611]Garry has made it pretty clear from the TH89 incident, if it offends people then that's too bad I guess. I don't like it either, but he wants free speech[/QUOTE] wait so you could just say'' I hate all black people as im white'' by the way the above aint true, we cool bro, we cool
:fuckyou:
This policy seems like a mixed bag. Being more free to state your opinion is good and all, but I can see it just being used as an excuse to shit up topics/forums
[QUOTE=Benf199105;23569591]Hope you can talk Garry out of this one, pretty much the reason i like facepunch is the strictness, start taking that away and we have problems. So are you really saying we can legitmately ask for CP and not get a perma? Chris got PB for saying he enjoys throwing hamsters against a wall, we better un Perma him now in retrospect? Dunno, it seems the complete wrong direction to go in. Next stop /b/.[/QUOTE] We will still be banning people for illegal things. Asking for CP isn't exactly illegal but the person will be banned for it. I guess if they do it again, then they'll get permabanned. All bans prior to the change in mentality will stand unless the person specifically makes a Refugee Camp thread about it and then decisions will be made on a case to case basis. [QUOTE=starpluck;23569921]So is racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, homophobia now allowed under the pretext of 'Free Speech'?[/QUOTE] Yes, as long as it is expressed in an appropriate manner. Hate speech is not acceptable. [QUOTE=gerbile4;23570027]Garry's "business forum" telling a little girl to kill herself will also scare off customers\business opportunities.[/QUOTE] I did put this viewpoint across to garry as it was the main reason behind the moderator team banning the offensive posts in the "Jessica Slaughter" thread. These are quotes from the thread in the Gold Member Forum [quote=Mr. Gestapo][QUOTE=Kondor58;23536783]I feel that Garry's take on this is that everybody knows what she did was REALLY stupid and so was the reaction from her family, so permabanning everybody for having a go at her, calling her stupid and bringing it on herself isn't justified since everybody knows that she is a complete and utter idiot.[/QUOTE] I didn't want people permabanning for stating their opinions. I wanted them permabanned for wishing death upon an (albeit annoying) eleven year old girl. If a normal person (read: not a person desensitised to the internet) were to read that thread, what on earth would they think of this forum? Honestly? [QUOTE=Aurain;23536817]It's kind of a double edged sword. If he bans all the people for speaking their opinions, it comes across as censorship, to a degree at least. If he doesn't, then his forum is full of little shits who don't know what they're talking about. I think most people realise that posts on the internet don't represent those of the Forum owner. It's pretty much blown out of proportion in regards to the banning on here, even if the Jessi Slaughter thing is a pretty genuine concern.[/QUOTE] I think you're wrong. Posts on the internet DO represent those of the forum owner. You get the same reputation as the people you associate with - if garry supports people saying that the eleven year old girl should kill herself, then that is going to reflect incredibly badly on him and his business in my opinion.[/quote] [QUOTE=garry;23536997]Serious Business[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Mr. Gestapo;23537024]You're the one that has put thousands of pounds into an office, I'm hoping you're taking it pretty seriously[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=garry;23537196]Yeah some people on a forum saying "she deserved it" is going to stop people buying GMod.[/QUOTE]
Why did Gurant give himself a 12 hour ban?
[QUOTE=The Mighty Boatman;23573538]Why did Gurant give himself a 12 hour ban?[/QUOTE] PUI [QUOTE=elitehakor;23571056]What? On a semi related note, what happens in the moderator nonsense thread?[/QUOTE] Just general moderator chat, sometimes about moderating, sometimes about ideas for the forums, sometimes about random things Also in the interest of transparency, [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=975097]here is a link to the GMF thread discussing TH89's ban[/url]
Posting under the influence, if I'm correct? So, once he sobered up he banned himself?
[QUOTE=The Mighty Boatman;23574764]Posting under the influence, if I'm correct? So, once he sobered up he banned himself?[/QUOTE] That is correct. No, he is drunk so he banned himself so he doesn't write silly things
[QUOTE=Craptasket;23569852]I urge garry to separate his business from this forum.[/QUOTE] I don't think Garry is an idiot, I'm pretty sure he knows no-one gives a shit what people say here, I mean if it was featured on fox news with the notority of 4chan then maybe. Personally I think it's a bit of an old pickle, I like being about to say what I think without being nazi banned for having an abstract opinion but then on the flip side the strict moderation is what made facepunch 'fun', if you will.
[QUOTE=Mr. Gestapo;23574855]That is correct. No, he is drunk so he banned himself so he doesn't write silly things[/QUOTE] Alright. Thanks.
[QUOTE=Mr. Gestapo;23574616] Also in the interest of transparency, [URL="http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=975097"]here is a link to the GMF thread discussing TH89's ban[/URL][/QUOTE] is the gmf that much of a shithole? jesus i thought it was ok when my friend showed me but holy shit
Yeah
can someone tell me what the fuck is going on with the new raiding bans?

[QUOTE=elitehakor;23580135]can someone tell me what the fuck is going on with the new raiding bans?[/QUOTE] People who raided TH89's youtube account and spammed it
[QUOTE=Mr. Gestapo;23580186]People who raided TH89's youtube account and spammed it[/QUOTE] Did you really exemine each and every user? I'm sure some of them just wrote 1 comment or so on his channle.
But they weren't posting on facepunch at all, that doesn't seem like a good reason for a perma. That's like banning someone because you saw them do a bannable offense on another forum.
What the hell? They're just comments. Surely you can't ban them for just that.
Who's this sam tilgan guy, and how is KMM an alt of his?
[QUOTE=Xen Tricks;23580319]Who's this sam tilgan guy, and how is KMM an alt of his?[/QUOTE] Sam Tilgan was a horrible poster and eventually almost became ban-on-sight We all knew he came back at some point but he stopped being so useless I guess so the mods didn't care Also I imagine that the KMM account would be logged onto from the same IP
[QUOTE=Jund;23580312]What the hell? They're just comments. Surely you can't ban them for just that.[/QUOTE] The majority of them were alternate accounts of permabanned users. Posting hate speech on someone's personal page is harassment and is not tolerated
[QUOTE=Mr. Gestapo;23580531]The majority of them were alternate accounts of permabanned users. Posting hate speech on someone's personal page is harassment and is not tolerated[/QUOTE] Although I may not agree with the permabans for posting a mean comment or two, no raiding is a pretty nonnegotiable rule, eh?
[QUOTE=Mr. Gestapo;23580531]The majority of them were alternate accounts of permabanned users. Posting hate speech on someone's personal page is harassment and is not tolerated[/QUOTE] I highly doubt that it was organized.
