RE: Banning Bad, Actually?posted in Game Gab
@Faraday said in Banning Bad, Actually?:
I just think that’s excessive. I also think it’s their right to do so on their games if they see fit.
I think this may be another crux (can an argument have more than one crux?) of the argument. The difference between something being right and someone having the right – and in this instance whether there’s a difference at all.

It may be worth stating that this type of ban doesn’t have to be representative of who the player is as a person. As opposed to like… a sex pest ban or banning one of those people qualified to teach a masterclass on toxicity and manipulation. It’s okay for a place to just… not be right for you.

RE: MU Peeves Threadposted in Rough and Rowdy
@Yam I mean, earlier in the intro to mu*ing thread it was mentioned about nuerodiverse our community is. We’d be just as well served by a masterclass on how to communicate a clear boundary instead of relying on hints and easily misinterpreted social cues. But I know that would give plenty of people panic attacks, too. This stuff is all just part of the beautiful mess.

I’m not going to sit here and argue with you about it, like I just said. if you didn’t think he was in the wrong, okay.

I just didn’t think Warma Sheen was being a shit in the text provided.
you’re in the minority there for a reason that I’m not going to spend pages and pages spelling out for you. how much of a shit we’d all probably disagree on but it’s generally just bad form to get upset (“made me feel a certain kind of way” does not translate to anxiety, it translates to frustration, as he explained himself. it’s just a passive aggressive way of saying “it pissed me off”) about tiny delays.
if you don’t get why that’s bothersome, you’re irritating more people than you’re probably aware of.

just stating for the record, that the two views ‘we don’t ban enough’ and ‘having a hair trigger and banning the first time someone comes off rude might be bad (in the sense that you might miss good people)’ aren’t fundamentally opposing views.

@Lemon-Fox said in Missed Settings:
Exalted Battletech. When your mech is destroyed, you leap out with your sword.
I would only play Exalted Battletech if I could use Call the Blade to pull my Mech to me in the same fashion that the charm works for weapons. So I hold out my hand and my Mech just Kool-Aid Man crashes through a neighborhood to scoop me up and deposit me in the cockpit.
No. Mech is armor, so you have to use armor-summoning charm, silly.

I can’t really get behind this concern that all the people will leave if their friend is banned. Maybe they will, but maybe that’s just the price you pay to save yourself months of headache.
Maybe their friends are also kind of problematic too.
Sometimes games are small. That’s okay. I have a similar banning policy on CC as Ada does. I am one GM. I work more than full time. I parent. Unfortunately, this means I’m not in the position to uplift people who aren’t able to play nicely with others.
But I want to tell stories, so I will.
