The mods say there's a PG-13 rating at the hype, yet WompuM had the avatar for quite awhile. Why didn't any of the mods tell him to take it down when they saw it?

Matt, you have a rule no? No simulated sex pictures which goes into avatars, correct?

His avatar clearly was 2 AT-ATs having sex.

That is simulated sex picture.

That's against SHH rule regardless if it wasn't voted upon. It's not open for interpretation.

Since AT-AT's cant have sex then it's a gray area.

And he didn't get an infraction because he's not a problem user.

Okay, that part I'm making a assumption on, but that is clearly an assumption based on passed experiences.

Well ppl only become problem posters when they ignore friendly requests to tone down their aggro, since most of us had not seen Wompum before, he was starting with a clean slate and to reiterate, was not breaking the rules in a black and white fashion.

But again, it's semantics. I mean, what other choice did he have honestly? Come on Matt, don't be glib.

No it's not, he could have said no and we'd have informed those complaining that he was not inclined to unoffend them.

Honestly, you really would have done that? I find that incredibly hard to believe.

I'm not in the habit of saying things I don't mean Darth, Ive been in Wompum's position on the other end and Dew never made me feel I had to change it.

No it's not, he could have said no and we'd have informed those complaining that he was not inclined to unoffend them.

But he would've had to take it down anyway because of the no simulated sex in avatars rule, correct? So why did the mods just ask him politely to take it down because it offended someone rather then tell him it was against the rules. I'm not trying to start an arguement here, just want to clarify what the situation is.

It's pretty cut and dry Hunter, from where I stand. I don't understand how it's a grey area. It seems to me you are arguing semantics.

I'm not trying to get Wormpum in trouble. Not at all. Just little bit of a double standard here.

If I get banned, this close to 4k, you're going down Erz.

B/c as ive said it's a gray area, they are vehicles not ppl so technically they can't have sex, it was one of those deals where we felt the best we could do was ask the poster to respect those offended.

Don't break the habit Hunter.

The point I am making is that Wompum could make enough of an argument to make the call a stalemate.

Where is the double standard ? He hadn't done anything wrong so why would he be infracted ?

 

[Star]

I want to see this avvy

 

[Erzengel]

The point I am making is that Wompum could make enough of an argument to make the call a stalemate.

And my point is just to call a spade, a spade. Not really trying to be obstinant here. If I had an avatar of Barbie on top of Ken, regardless if they are dolls and can't have sex, it's still a simulated sex act.

Where is the double standard ? He hadn't done anything wrong so why would he be infracted ?

Since you disagree with me on the point of "it's not a sex act because AT-ATs can't have sex", then the point is moot. However, if you agreed that it was, then he did break the rules and could be infracted.

I don't want worm in trouble, but it's not hard to imagine any infract happy mod giving him one is all.

So much ********* over humping robots.

Heh, I remember when they took my Bill Cosby rump shaker avvy. I'm still kinda pissed about that one.

Fixed.

Damn you jag.

God, that one put mine to all sorts of shame.

The rule makes sense to me Show. I don't agree with the whole no simulated sex acts especially when it's humor based but if you want to do an iron blanket law, it's not a democracy. But to start using reasons like some people complained, yadda yadda. No. In the end, you have a rule, poster broke rule, poster informed of rule. Done.

The reason action was taken was due to several complaints we received as a staff. These were acted upon, thus enforcing the rule. Should the poster in question have been asked immediately to remove the avatar once we saw it, I would say yes. It violated the rule. Since we didn't do that, and we received complaints a different approach was taken where the user was asked to remove the avatar. I understand what you're saying, it is a rule, so therefore he should have just been told to remove it. So I understand your case closed argument.

But again, it's semantics. I mean, what other choice did he have honestly? Come on Matt, don't be glib.

What is this really about though Darth, are we talking about this one incident here. I kind of feels like we aren't anymore. I mean all of this debate over this one harmless exchange in which the user seemed to have no problem obliging. I mean I understand your point, I really do, but where are we going with this.

 

[Anubis]

God, that one put mine to all sorts of shame.

I can't really understand why a big ole booty shaking right next to Bill Cosby's pudding pop lovin' mug is somehow too lascivious for the pg13 masses. Course I do watch a lot of porn.

Well I've been saying that it has to do more with just an avatar.

 

[WompuM]

That was a legendary booty.

 

[Hunter Rider]

But they would be human modeled dolls, what I am saying is if Womp wished too play semantics he would have enough of a case. It sounds like you feel we should have told him to remove it ? or are you saying the rule in general is wrong ?

Since you disagree with me on the point of "it's not a sex act because AT-ATs can't have sex", then the point is moot. However, if you agreed that it was, then he did break the rules and could be infracted.

I don't want worm in trouble, but it's not hard to imagine any infract happy mod giving him one is all.

If we areed it was a simulated sex act no mod would infract him without first asking him too remove it.
