Question for p99 vets

[rebeccablack]

honestly just close down the forums, or limit them to just game discussion. there is no reason to have political discussion here or any of the other off topic lunacy that gets posted here. i can't think of a worse first impression a person could get about p99 than if they googled around and ended up here before actually playing.

I’ll say the same thing about no mods here as I suggest to work during the periods when a supervisor leaves and work is trying to find a new supervisor:

“I thrive under no supervision”

Uh oh then the game might not be as big of a commercial success. What will Sony do?

Sent very similar sentiments up via petition. Made it to Senior Guide for rule inquiry review given your very same concerns. Asked for inquiry to be sent to current admin and also asked who current admin was. Was told inquiry would not be sent and was not told who current admin is.

Takeaway: Forums are currently enforced at mods discretion given time constraints rather than stated rules.

FYI: Back when that one chick posted gay porn pic spam she was banned and the posts deleted within minutes

And if I recall the rare occasions when there were RL threats those people were also banned very quickly, but since I never received threats myself I can’t give an exact time frame

But porn pics? Very quick response

What does this tell us? There are mods, that are active, that are enforcing the rules as stated in the sticky at the top which include things like: no graphic violence vids/pics, no porn (I think they called it NSFW), and no RL threats

Until there’s a new rule of: no politics and no hurt feelings I don’t think they will be enforcing that

These forums are probably a better representation of the game because end-game is far more toxic and hateful than the forums could produce. If nothing it gives them a little taste of what to expect when they hit that glorious six zero.

What was it you tried to report?

Can a chinese athlete attain the same level of performance as an african american?
Can a white european attain the same level of academic success as say a chinese student?
Can that same black family produce a nobel laureate?

So yes, while there are notable external differences in the globes races it is disingenuous to suggest one or another is less or more because of that race furthermore, thinly veiling the suggestion by profiling the black athlete, chinese academic etc is the racist bit.
That call right there is called racism. Saying its not racist cuz there are differences in races doesnt discount it being racist.

You're a full blown moron, or you're a full blown liar.

Are there differences in the races? Answer me that.

Stop posting racist content and I will cease referring to you as a racist. This is very simple.

Namely it appears the following rules and text taken directly from Forum Rules are not being enforced on the p1999 forums currently:

1. These rules, a small portion extracted from our Play Nice Policy, are in place to attract more members to the community, and assist existing members of the community.
2. Content is expected to remain work friendly.
3. ....hate speech, disguised or not, will not be tolerated. This includes slurs ....
4. Keep thread subjects clean.
5. Any rant or flame against a player or guild should be contained inside of the Rants and Flames forum
>>

Was told enforcing the rules this strictly would lead to 50% of forum members banned. I won't say which Guide because I like them. But that's why I asked it to be sent to Senior Guide and then was told rule review wouldn't be sent to Admin or given response when I asked who current Admin is.

Mods quote:

If we as a team monitored and disciplined within the standards you are presenting, half the board would be banned.
