If anyone cares to read the rules, you can essentially see that our forum rules cover the HBG content guidelines (or the ones that apply to this forum) anyway:
[spoiler]
Here Be Games Content Guidelines wrote:- Here Be Games is not for pornography or sexually explicit content.
Code: Select all
d. Pornographic and criminal content.
Posting anything of a pornographic nature is not permitted on the SGW forums. Pornographic being defined as: Sexually explicit pictures, writing, or other material whose primary purpose is to cause sexual arousal (dictionary.com). The SGW forums are not the place for discussing or facilitating criminal activity. This includes arranging to carry out a crime or the posting of illegal images (including copyrighted property).
Consequence:
This will result in the issuing of warning points. Very serious comments will be given more warning points. This will be judged with input from the Forum Administrators and Moderators. In cases of criminal activity the Administrators will not hesitate to contact the authorities.
- Animal abuse, drug abuse, under-age drinking/smoking and bomb building are not allowed.
Code: Select all

- Graphic, gratuitous violence, dead bodies or similar live action content are not allowed.
Closest I could find was this:
Code: Select all
b. Profanity
The use of all profanity on the SGW forums is prohibited at all times. This means swearing, cursing, and vulgarity. This includes the use of masking. Profanity in images (such as in signatures), videos linked (such as YouTube), or in articles linked is also prohibited.
Note:
Masking is using characters, HTML tags, or anything else to express a word that would otherwise be filtered; in other words, it's bypassing the filter. Profanity not a part of the main focus of the page being linked (such as advertisements or comments) will not be policed as they can change quickly and easily.
Consequence:
When only minor profanity is used, only a Verbal Warning may be issued. In all other cases a Board Warning will be issued. In the case of Masking a Board Warning will always be issued.
- Respect copyrights, only upload content you created or are authorized to use.
Fairly obvious, the law will get you for that - Hate speech (speech which attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, and sexual orientation/gender identity) are not allowed.
Code: Select all
c. Abuse / Racism
Members of the SGW community are required to speak courteously to others. Personal attacks on other members are not tolerated. This includes comments about one’s sex, gender, skin color, religion, or cultural heritage. You may not post personal information about another user regardless of how it was obtained. This includes their address, phone numbers, names, or any other detail about their real life status that they have not already posted on the SGW forums themselves. For exceptions to this rule please see the role playing section (section 6).
Consequence:
Minor infringements such as throw away comments may be ignored. If not, a polite note from a moderator will be issued requesting the user to tone it down. More serious cases and repeated breaking of the rule will result in the issuing of warning points. Very serious comments will be given more warning points. This will be judged with input from the Forum Administrators and Moderators.
- Predatory behavior, stalking, threats, harassment, intimidation, invading privacy, revealing other people's personal information and inciting others to commit violent acts or violate our Terms of Service are not allowed.
Code: Select all

- Misleading descriptions, tags, titles, thumbnails are not allowed.
Pretty much a given.
Repeated failure to follow these guidelines violates our Terms of Service. Anyone caught violating our Terms of Service may be permanently banned from Here Be Games.
[/spoiler]
Pretty much the only thing that needs to be decided is whether:
yellow eyes wrote:Blow up all muslim that then ends half the worlds proberlems
and this:
Aisar Saqib wrote:honestly as i am a muslim i wanna kill that bastard who direct that film...
are against the rules?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
yellow eyes wrote:Blow up all muslim that then ends half the worlds proberlems
would fall under the Abuse / Racism rule.
Personal attacks on other members are not tolerated. This includes comments about one’s sex, gender, skin color, religion, or cultural heritage.
Not to mention
Pornographic and criminal content.
The SGW forums are not the place for discussing or facilitating criminal activity. This includes arranging to carry out a crime or the posting of illegal images (including copyrighted property).
Consequence:
This will result in the issuing of warning points. Very serious comments will be given more warning points. This will be judged with input from the Forum Administrators and Moderators. In cases of criminal activity the Administrators will not hesitate to contact the authorities.
Aisar Saqib wrote:honestly as i am a muslim i wanna kill that bastard who direct that film...
I would say this one also falls under:
Pornographic and criminal content.
The SGW forums are not the place for discussing or facilitating criminal activity. This includes arranging to carry out a crime or the posting of illegal images (including copyrighted property).
Consequence:
This will result in the issuing of warning points. Very serious comments will be given more warning points. This will be judged with input from the Forum Administrators and Moderators. In cases of criminal activity the Administrators will not hesitate to contact the authorities.
The only possible defence for saying you want to kill someone without it sounding like a crime ("intent to kill") is in the context of killing someones units ingame. The context is obviously not that in this case.
So Aisar should have his post modded, just like yellow eyes has, and appropriate action should be taken, correct?
Problem solved?
