Ruling please

"Going over into Pond territory is like heading into the Ghetto, there's a lot of abandon cars some burning, all the buildings are condemned there was a group of Mallards huddled around a metal barrel with wood burning in it trying to keep warm. You see their eyes peering out at you from in between the plywood slats that board up the long forgotten tenements that these ducks call home, it's sad you feel pity for a moment but then you remember you're at war with them and your heart hardens as the feathers and blood start to fly."


This post has been accused of being racist and a verbal warning issued. I disagree and would like an official opinion please.

God you TJP guys sure are desperate to complain about any little thing you can. First over a minor edit, and now for a verbal warning? Getting quite pathetic really.

I didnt realize there was a campaign against you Jack. I saw one of my members get verbally warned and I disagree with it. Not to mention the way you posted your warning is out of line..

I agree with REK, that does sound almost racist to me. Watch your mouth or I'll rip your tongue out.

[Jack]

I never said there was a campaign against me, just a bunch of sniveling, whiny TJP members crying over spilt milk.

There's nothing wrong with the way I worded my warning, if people can't behave they will be banned(have their proverbial tongue ripped out).

[Manetheren]

"Watch your mouth or I'll rip your tongue out" sounds like a real life threat to me. No proverbial tongue mentioned. And now you call me sniveling and whiny simply because I asked for a clarification?

Yeah, well now you know different.

How else should I interpret the actions of those making mountains out of imaginary molehills?

[Manetheren]

So you believe the forum rules should be changed to: "THERE WILL BE NO REAL LIFE THREATS/BOASTS/INSULTS UNLESS YOU SAY AFTERWARD THAT YOU WERE SPEAKING PROVERBIALLY.

Regardless of the way you posted your warning, I simply am asking if the original post is considered racist?

[Jack]

I never said it was racist, if it was racist I would have warned him, I merely stated that he needed to watch his mouth.

Then why issue a threatening verbal warning at all?

[Lithium]

the power that admin has given to you Jack is being abused very often, you verbally inappropriately threatened a forum member.

u didnt said it was racist but u seconded Rek opinion, where he claimed that post as a racist.

I can read quite well thank you for insulting me again.
I still would like to know why you threatened my alliance member?

[Jack]

I have already explained it to you, not my problem you lack reading comprehension skills.

Thanks again, seems like insulting people is your defense mechanism. You threatened a member of this forum and my alliance. You can try to spin that however you want but if anyone else had done the same and later claimed they were not really threatening the person, they would have been warned and/or banned.

My original question was whether the post was racist. You have stated that the post wasnt racist yet you issued a threatening verbal warning anyway. Why?

Wasn't an insult, was an observation.

Yes yes, I threatened to ban them, such is my job.

I'll say it again for the third time, you question has been answered you just need to read.
