It is sad. And I think bans are richly deserved. It's the kindest thing. Since these 'gentlemen' clearly spend far too much time indoors.

Malcador Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 It's stupid more than anything else really, pointless jawing and just coming across as foolish. Not really finding it funny, myself, just got a laugh reading them as if some chav was saying it (Use of '****' mainly leads me to think it's a UK thing). The insult involving his family being raped by Hindus is just so random though. Why has elegance found so little following?

anubite Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I find myself hard to agree with any sort of "internet justice", it's a bit too much of a mob mentality with a lot of potential for wronging innocent people. That said, I am also totally against censorship on the net. That's why I find attempts to control the behavior of communities an affront to the web - they might be well intentioned, but any sanctioned censorship is going to inevitably push people away. Everyone has a right to speak their mind. Personal attacks have no grounds, of course, and game developers should establish clear policy for that sort of thing, but to some extent, you have to let players express their frustration. Too often, I see people downvoting unpopular thought, censoring it, and preventing it from being "upvoted" or brought back into the discussion. It's kind of a negative feedback loop. I made a 2 hour rant video about dragon age 2. It's not the greatest... but if you want to watch it, here ya go: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
