    Remove #shitposting from discord

    As long as there aren't little dweebs who bleed out into the other channels (ex: #general), then I'm totally fine with removing or archiving #shitposting. I'd like for shitposting to be initially archived, just long enough to see whether or not it causes any repercussions. If all goes well when we archive the channel, it would be nice to finally rid the server of NSFW channels. I totally agree that the violation of TOS in NSFW channels is an incredibly big problem, I guess we kinda asked for it when we added those channels tbh.

    I admire your determination to be here. A fresh start is always nice, but here's a few helpful tips, just so old mistakes aren't repeated: 1) Don't Spam Forum Posts This was instantly a red flag to us all and became very irritating very quickly. Think about what you post before you post it, think: - Is it necessary? - Is it a post that people would enjoy or could discuss about? - Am I better off just making a discord post about this? Always think about those three questions before posting a thread. Which leads onto my next suggestion... 2) Think Before You Say Something Sometimes, what people say can really cause a negative impact. If someone says something negative towards you, contact a higherup and tell them that you don't like what they're doing. THEY WILL ACT ON IT. If someone is being rude, it's always a better option to alert a higher member of staff. If you insist on saying something, make sure you think about whether it will further cause a negative reaction or not. The main thing trolls want from you is a reaction. Always remember that. 3) Doing Controversial Actions Doing controversial actions may lead to huge backlash. One of which is when you left with a storm to become admin on a different server, then come back a week later and expect us all to open with welcome arms. Stuff like this is what will give you a bad name in the community and sometimes they can be extremely difficult to escape. But lest we forget that there have been people who have made it very far here despite being previously permenantly banned. TL;DR: Welcome back, nice to see a fresh start, helpful advice is to think before you act because actions can result in serious backlash.

    There is a huge disagreement on whether or not "aged up" shit is allowed, and sometimes it's pretty hard to determine whether or not it's loli/child pornography. Basically impossible to tell without a huge fucking poster behind their head saying "I AM OVER THE MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENT!11!11!!!" e Still annoying for staff members to moderate something that is 100% up to their discretion unless it's 100% obvious that the girl/guy is too young. (Usually only possible with anime characters that have been given specific ages, and don't have child-like features. This means that the "I am a 1000-year-old dragon girl. Despite me having the physique of a 10-year-old, I am legal" argument doesn't exactly work.) You keep making the exact same point over and over. "It is easy for staff to handle these situations." No. It. Is. Not. Server rules don't apply to the shitposting channel. That is why spamming and other things are allowed there. The most I can really do is give the people who like shitposting my sympathy, but when people are constantly violating the TOS on our servers, it doesn't exactly look too good for us. This is a pretty damn good point.

    +1 it offers nothing he beneficial and breeds toxicity. If it's not allowed on our servers why our discord?

    Okay, so besides the fact that this is some of the worst formatting I have ever seen, your story is false. I was watching you as you went into armory, and just sat there looking at where a T would come from. You have been CT banned multiple times, and never seem to learn your lesson. Also, as far as telling you good luck, I meant it, since you have no case whatsoever.

    Basically what I mean by this is that archiving is playing it safe, while just deleting it is more efficient. I'm 100% for removing the shitposting channel as long as we don't have our brony/furry/other fetish children bleeding their discussions into other chats. I don't specifically hate people who have fetishes (feet, furries, bronies, etc.), but I have some moral gripes with people who are interested in shit like actually fucking animals or children. There is a *huge* gray area when it comes to determining whether or not something/someone is too young in a pornographic picture, which then leads to incredibly long and pointless arguments. In my honest opinion, I don't think we're half as mature as we should be when it comes to allowing NSFW channels. If people can't accept that their porn is against TOS / not favored among the rest of the populace, then we shouldn't have an NSFW channel in the first place. Just having this thread posted sparked an incredibly long argument that should not have to be discussed, thus proving that we're nowhere near where we should be on maturity regarding the subject. Now, I'm not saying those involved in the argument are immature, but rather it just shouldn't have happened at all. Evidence and claims were provided for at least one argument, which is pretty good for a gaming community. tl;dr - Arguing over what is or what isn't against TOS is stupid. If something is constantly causing problems and breaking the rules of our platform, it should be extinguished, no questions asked.

    Remove #shitposting from discord

    It just promotes people to shout at each other or question whether the said image is against the Discord TOS and is just a hellhole. If people don't want to see it, they should mute it of course, but all this channel does is cause controversy and I don't particularly see a reason why we should have it if members are constantly questioning whether something is allowed or not, followed by the arguments and spam to 1up each other just makes this channel do more bad than good.

    Remove #shitposting from discord

    I personally have not used the #shitposting channel much, but it seems to be the stem of a lot of drama and toxicity nowadays, and it's honestly getting annoying. Honestly I don't think it's fair to compare this to that spray situation. We have several rules in place for sprays because we don't want porn or gore on our servers, and sprays didn't end up getting disabled because in the end, we can all be mature enough to choose proper sprays, even if there are a few problems here and there. The shitposting channel however, has very few rules or regulations, and pretty much serves only as a place to be immature and toxic. The channel is literally called shitposting, after all. With the spray situation, sprays were going to be removed because of the actions of a bad few, and that was unfair. But this time, the bad few is the majority. Again, I don't use this channel much, so maybe my input has less value. But I personally don't like the idea of a shitposting server in a community like ours. We have a lot of rules set in place to against immaturity, toxicity, drama, and explicit gore/porn. Yet, we have a channel on our discord where none of those things apply, and people can do everything they can't normally do, like post explicit things, spam, and start drama. I don't like the behavior it encourages, and I don't believe it falls in line with the rest of the server's beliefs. If you really wanna shitpost, talk about drama, or post gore or porn or stuff like that, then you should really keep it off our discord, and make one of your own. +1 for its removal.

    Remove #shitposting from discord

    -1 keep this channel, its the only nsfw thing about xG and its a place of freedom to some, if the channel disappears ill probably just leave the discord server all together, I like to steal the memes and be myself without getting judged horrifically even though it doesn't stop normies from judging anyway, I like to shitpost, whether its porn, somewhat offensive memes, or just saying whatevers on my mind, all within the servers rules and guidelines, if you take the channel away people are just gonna start posting their offensive memes in other channels or just complain all-together, if people can't handle looking at #shitposting they can fuck off and mute the channel, i have a right to post whatever i want in the channel as long as its not against the servers rules, or discords TOS, keep the channel and crackdown on the stuff that shouldn't be posted, you cant please everyone, especially in a server and community of this size. I do however agree that if anything against the Discord TOS is posted, it needs to be addressed and handled accordingly, if the admins can't handle seeing that stuff, are they fit for the position? I can't blame anyone for not wanting to see people fucking animals, or gore, or child related stuff, that stuff should automatically be blacklisted by general consensus and knowledge and should be dealt with accordingly, and the people who post it should be dealt with accordingly. tl;dr this is just my opinion, i could care less what happens honestly

    Considering you have no evidence whatsoever and multiple staff members are saying you were actually armory camping, I'm gonna say this slay/ban is valid. Actually, since you've been banned several times recently, I'm going to extend the ban to 3 days to give you a chance to learn the rules a bit better before playing CT again.

    I'll leave this thread up for a bit more before making a decision, I'm happy to remove it though if that's the consensus as I personally never use the channel and hate getting notifications in it lol.

    What's against discord tos is pretty obvious, and even if you aren't sure you should be erring on the safe side and not posting it. There's literally only three limitations on what kind of nsfw content one is able to post, and while any system of categorization has flaws and outliers, that should make it insanely easy to avoid ever encountering this issue. If what you're posting looks like it's part of a gray area or could be interpreted as breaking tos, even if you personally don't feel it is, you should be doing the rest of us a favor and not posting it. Ultimately we are not the final arbiters of what is and what isn't allowed, we aren't the final jury or the judge, so anytime anyone posts anything in a nsfw chat they should be considering whether whatever it is would look incriminating if discord staff had to make a call on whether to axe our server or not. I really like the idea of a channel where none of the rules apply because for the most part it contains all the sh:tposting and spam and questionable content to a single channel, and i think it's quite the jump from 0 to 100 to immediately try and delete the channel rather than just dealing with the offending individuals with our standard punishment system. What confuses me is that this is exactly what's been done with individuals who've posted hentai that breaks tos, but now that it's furry stuff it's no longer about "individual responsibility" or whatever, it's the collective fault of the whole channel and everyone participating in it. I've mentioned before that while we've been pretty good at immediately catching and removing some questionable content, and while that deserves commendation, there's been a load of questionable furry shit that's made it past either because nobody wants to look at most of those image dumps, or possibly some kind of implicit bias.

    Honestly if people wanna shitpost then they should use 4chan or some place where furries, bronies and that all gather. I personally dislike the shitposting channel and only look in case people are breaking TOS. However I feel as though removing it could people off and I really don't wanna see MLP in the discord general. Sometimes the posts can be pretty funny. Leaning towards remove but gonna stay neutral because I think people need to learn what is shitposting, what is just not shitposting and is just annoying and finally that there are posts that go against the Terms of Service. If things do not improve from here, I will be voting to remove it.

Tekage summed up everything I was going to say. Just make sure to do your best to be polite on the forums and in game. Overall I am just glad to have you back. If you ever want to talk or if you ever need help feel free to contact me. I'm always here for you pal. Just do your best to stay optimistic and to stay positive. I wish the best of luck for you in the future, I looked forward to seeing you online more often. Best of luck for you in the future of xG!

    Be back November

    School's been fucking me over lately and some of the more often seen people on the cs jailbreak server have been pushing me away. I've become sort of a junkie when playing on the xG servers and its seriously hurting my mentally and psychically. I've gotten back into other games and into new games (e.g. Overwatch, Call Of Duty BO4). I'll be back sometime around November once i get a better mic and people finally shut the fuck up about it. but all I can really say to end this off with is goodbye.

    I believe everyone has the potential to change and improve. However, saying that you'll change is easier to do than actually changing. I think Tekage hit the nail right on the head, follow what he said and I think you'll become a much better member of our community. I know you can do it!

    Whether you think it’s a good thing or not, I’m choosing to leave xG, I feel that I’ve screwed up everything to do with me on this network and I don’t plan on returning, thank you for this opportunity to play and I hope you all can at least give me a farewell.

    Remove #shitposting from discord

    -1 I don't really get what's the big deal here, it's not that hard to watch the channel or interpret if something is against tos or not, especially from how straight forward it is. I don't see that much controversy over images and when there is it's handled pretty quickly since the rules are so simple so I don't really get how the channel is as bad as you are saying it is. Which is why it seems to me that you are jumping the gun a bit here over a few people breaking rules and posting lolis or whatever like yesterday, which like what others have said before, you can just punish them and move on like we do on the servers. This reminds me a lot of the whole spray controversy thread where someone went on saying how we should just remove sprays in general to avoid controversy over if a spray should be allowed or not, which just like then I don't think it's a good idea to just remove an entire thing just because of a few baddies which the staff can easily handle. Plus we don't even need to edit the rules here as the tos rules are simple enough. But yeah I honestly don't really use the channel, but a lot of people do like to use it so I'd rather just keep the channel and let people have some fun their when their bored while continuing to punish people accordingly for when they do they break tos.
