Your Steam ID: doesnt matter

Name of Staff Member: Toxic

Summary/Details: He got upset about my very minor comment "Where's your god now?" and warned me to 40% for 'disrespect towards an user'. First of all, if it was disrespect (which IMO it wasn't), it wasn't aimed at any user in specific, it was aimed at religion. It may seem as some shitpost but it had an actual valuable point in it. Also, 3 warning points, are you fucking kidding me? People have done WAY worse things and received 1 warning point, and also, if it only was 1 warning point I wouldn't give a shit tbh but the fact that you put me to 40% for a single sentence that doesn't even contain profanity or isn't directed at anyone is really pathetic in my opinion.

Evidence:

I'll be honest as someone that was viewing your comment, it was very inappropriate and I'm surprised you didn't get 100%/ I felt your comment was a lot like Rocks when he posted on the Las Vegas shooting. It wasn't funny and was extremely disrespectful as the situation cost over 20 people their lives. You didn't add any input, other than something that would obviously offend users and I believe you expected that.

I can understand if I could be uninvolved with this in another view, and I apologize if it seems this way.

Yeah, unfortunately not involved. Otherwise we might end up with every single person who read the thread commenting on this.

Good morning, please edit your post to include your Steam ID and steam name, in order to better comply with the staff report posting template. As for the time, I warned you at approximately 1259 GMT.

The post you were warned for:



Your post was both inconsiderate to other users, and inappropriate for the News thread. I warned you accordingly.

Quote:2.Do not flame or provoke flaming.

I believe your comment could quite fairly be deemed a violation of the above rule as it seems to have no purpose other than to provoke and "trigger" people on the thread in question.

Just because you believe it had no other purpose doesn't make it true. Also what is the point of a forum if I can't be entitled to share my opinion? I obviously didn't direct it at a person.

As shown above, there are rules to posting. I acted on what I, a staff member, saw as a violation of that rule, and I have yet to see how my decision was gratuitous.

It was abuse of your power as I do not think it fits the rule violations you describe, it was neither disrespect nor inappropriate.

Merely enforcing an existing rule, which has been quoted to you above. I'll await HR's decision regarding the matter.

I wasn't provoking flaming. I was simply spilling out an honest truth. You are also being very hypocritical when you never punish your NA friends for saying disrespecting things about Islam, for example Religion of peace and so on, but you punish me without a verbal warning for saying Where's your god now?. I honestly mean it when I said I weren't provoking anything. Also you can't really prove that I was provoking flaming, you can only really guess as I am the only one who knows that's going on inside my own head, yes?

I talked to Toxic about this briefly. I said the comment "God blessed Texas", prior to Razz's comment. The reason you were warned was "disrespect to user" (or something along those lines), which at the time I assumed the 'user' was me, since I stated the comment that had to do with 'God'. I did not feel disrespected what-so-ever, which is why I contacted Toxic. He told me there was no way for him to input a custom reason for the warning, so he just picked the most fitting, however the reason that you received the warning was for inducing a flame war. Just to clear things up a little.

That thread Turned into a massive flame war which was fanned by people like you Razz. You deserve this warning fully and personally after the way you acted I'd be glad you didn't receive a forum ban.

My intention however wasn”t to flame, and the flame war started after Toxic abused his power. If Toxic never warned me i”m pretty sure nothing would have happened.

So you blame an officer when a traffic stop causes an accident? He was doing his job. The only reason this started was because of the comment, not the member of staff that had to deal with it.

This is on you, not Toxic.

i mean everyone's entitled to an opinion but i disagree with yours.

Personally regardless of your opinion I think this is more a thread for speaking forum warning less an abuse case as toxic hasn't actually abused at all.
