The following is a warning which has been issued to you by an administrator or moderator of this site.

This is a warning regarding the following post made by you: viewtopic.php?f=68&p=1652066#p1652066 .

FS ya gay (litterally)


RL insults

i ve herd all around forums ppl calling names like Ignorant stupid continuosly whithout getting any warning.

also telling to smone y r gay isnt a RL insult its a fact or not but not an insult.
Gay is the official word used in media.

you r abusing mod powers

[Skunky]

unlucky mate
but if your saying FS is he gay.. and the mod is saying its a RL insult
then the mod is homophobic :S
damn

[Huntalaar]

Yup Jack banned me for posting once in a spam thread.

Discussing other user's sexual orientation whatever it might be, is neither wanted nor tolerated on this forum. It is simple.

[Clarkey]

Why did you feel the need to post saying 'you're gay'?????

Was it necessary to the thread? Could you not live with your guilt if you did not post it?

If you are finding it difficult understanding what I am getting at..... was there any relevant need to post it?

did u made that rule now

it needs 1 cell brains to understand that discussing needs two ppl to make it work.

Gay isnt an insult , its used on media, try to watch some TV , cnn euronews etc

for more knowledge

The term gay was originally used, until well into the mid-20th century, primarily to refer to feelings of being "carefree," "happy," or "bright and showy"; it had also come to acquire some connotations of "immorality" as early as 1637[1].

The term then began to be used in reference to homosexuality, in particular, from the early 20th century, a usage that may have dated prior to the 19th century.[1] In modern English,[citation needed] gay has come to be used as an adjective (occasionally as a noun) that refers primarily[citation needed] to homosexuality. By the end of the 20th century the word gay was recommended by major style guides to describe people attracted to members of the same sex.[2][3] At about the same time, a new, pejorative use was visible in some parts of the world. In the UK, US and Australia, this connotation, among younger generations of speakers had a non-sexual derisive meaning equivalent to rubbish or stupid (as in "That's so gay.").[

read the first post , freespirit switched sides of war and in the contest of the war i used the gay word.

now if smone want to make another use of that word he should at least know what "gay" means b4 taking it as a RL insult.
cos it has never been a rl instult and it ll never be.

The only funny things lately is having people complain about every little thing mods do. But you are right, let the ombudsman decide. Good luck

i need the 3 one to get those precious 2 weeks

deni the its not what mods do but what a mod is doing.

1 time i got a warning was ages ago when i duno what i said , it was my beginin in this forum then i got 4-5 warning in less then 2 months , 1 give by u.

a mod that see the word Gay as a rl offensive should see offensive this too : ""Watch your mouth or I'll rip your tongue out"

[Mordack]

I think it depends on the context in which you use the word.

Considering you clearly used 'gay' as an insult directed toward FreeSpirit, I find it laughable that people in this thread are accusing the moderators of homophobia. Deni is right. Slurs about someone else's sexual orientation aren't tolerated, and in my opinion they cross the line. Even the new, line which the GC has now. I support this warning 100%.
