Doing IT work at peoples homes on accasions too, I get ask to protect computers and install monitoring and tracking software too.
PArents check and see in a later stage the seriousness of such jests, and will actually go through quite lengths to see who said what.

And yes, some would definatly judge the entire forum like that without giving it a second though.

haha very funny, this makes me laugh (nothing personal Thamuz), but i have always disagreed with people using the term "I raped you ingame". People associate it with raiding people ingame. Yet the majority of the community are happy to use this term.

I don't agree with anything on this forum that insinuates certain sexual actions to minors or non-consenting adults.

Re: appropriateness

I think the GC is the only exception ( i don't know why tho, if a child would play the game he'd fight ). I also agree with Clarkey's last statement.

Re: appropriateness

I love how easy it is to ignore context. Do you think parents will make an exception for General, the GC, Misc? They won't. Parents, in their infinite wisdom, are like kids who would like to see someone get a warning. Oblivious to context. Anyway, I have asked for the warning certain parties would die for to see me receive, and made sure Andy is, in fact, okay after that horrible ordeal he must have gone through. :) He's fine, by the way. ;)

I also love how the first moron sent me a "Paedophile" PM already. You know who you are, and you and your disgusting boss/lover will learn what that gets you, as soon as my Albanian contacts come through for me.


And with that, I bid you a fond good day, see you in a few hours.

That opinion would lay in the eye of the beholder ...

The people involved may laugh ... a parent reading his kids activity may see the jest, and simply block.

Cos psyko, when a parent would see and understand its a moderator talking like that, they would simply deem the entire staff might be the same ... and block the site pre-emtpively.

Parents tend not to argue with people involved with disputable behaviour online when it comes to their childs upbringing. They simply prevent any further riscs of further involvement of their child.

I would.


And julliete, you and Andy might not be offended, parents might definatly think otherwise.
Mind you, the parents are the legal gaurdians, their childs personal opinion of a grown up women appraoching them like that, is of no concern to them. They will do what they feel is right for their child.

Someone getting offended on another's behalf when he/she/it is not offended him-/her-/itself, is more wrong we'd say.

Mind you, these are personal opinions of ours, not official admin decrees.

Those are your personal opinions too zera ;)

You obviously dont have kids.

So because Z does not have childern his opinion is instantly invalidated or is it because he does not agree with you? Maybe it is both? Because that is exactly what you just said. :roll:

Thank you Paul , I saw it and agree with you. Her statement was very inappropriate.

Juliet is a mod and should know better. A simple reprimand should do as opposed a burning at the stake.

Juliet ... a plea of temporary insanity maybe , because honestly I have never witnessed you posting like that before and am a little surprised and concerned about your original intent albeit in jest or simply to test or jest ;)

Thank you for Modding it Haz.

No-one has said it does break any rules (unless I skipped that bit), that's why the thread is titled appropriateness because it was felt the comment was inappropriate as opposed to breaking rules.

I admit it breaks no rules, however, I stand by my statement that I disagree with anything that suggests or otherwise (even a sick joke, because that's what it would be a sick joke as opposed to a joke) any sexual act towards minors (boys or girls).

Discussion of illegal activities (sexual activity with minors). Not a rule, but it is still illegal, and should not be on the forums.
