2 pointsHis point is that there are so many staff members that play on surf that he wouldn't really provide anything that isn't already there, as it is already so heavily staffed. Much like how I was denied staff as a Discord moderator because we already had plenty. The entire point of my post, although poorly conveyed, was that Skelly is known to have a rather short fuse (see "Goodbye for now" thread and read my logs with him) and if given staff should definitely be on thin ice and/or under constant surveillance. Just staying neutral still since I haven't really been on to talk to him, my posts only act as a warning.

Because of context. I don't call people faggots and neither do I call people niggers, but let me try to give my opinion on this subject. I'm also going to refer to the "n-word" as "nigger", since that is the word we're talking about and we're having a reasonable discussion where I'm not using it as an insult. As far as I know, it's not like the word "faggot" is allowed no matter what. The word is allowed in a certain context in which you are not harassing someone. For instance, if someone were to call QueenofHeart [or any queer person] a faggot because of the fact that she is transgender, that would be punishable. However, in my opinion the meaning of the word faggot has kind of changed. I'm definitely not denying that awful people are still using it to be homophobic, however, there is a certain episode of South Park that illustrates this situation. To briefly summarize the episode, a ton of bikers start annoying the city and people eventually start calling them fags to the point where everyone just refers to them as fags. At some point people got concerned because of the apparent homophobia that someone did a TV report showing a child a picture of a gay person and a biker, asking whom of the both they think is a "fag". The child pointed to the biker and completely ignored the actually gay person. In other words, in this and in many other instances the word "faggot" is not being used in a homophobic context. If someone on a tf2 server is like "shut up, faggot", in 95% of the cases he doesnt use the term "faggot" to insult gay people, but instead to insult an annoying person. Does that make it better? Kind of, I think. While I'd agree that nobody should say it, people always will and I don't think we, as a gaming community, have the power to stop people from doing that. Our regular players, yes, probably, but literally anyone who ever joins the servers? I don't think so. People have already started to describe generally annoying people as "faggots", way before this community was even established, I believe. However, the meaning of the term "nigger" has not changed. People still mostly use it to be intentionally racist. There is basically no context where it would make sense to call someone a "nigger" simply because they are annoying. People haven't started doing that and still aren't. Again, I'm not condoning the usage of either of these words, I'm just trying to explain why there is a difference in my opinion. Not to mention the argument @Elcark made last time, that we'd have to basically start banning everything from here: List of disability-related terms with negative connotations - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG If people intentionally use the word "faggot" to discriminate against gay people, then that should be a no go, but using it in a relatively "harmless" context which doesn't relate to discriminating against gay people is something different. Also, you should watch the episode of south park I was talking about if you have time, it's called "The F-Word". -

1 pointI can see where you're coming from but imo I don't think it's going to affect him like you think it is. Arthman is a DL for minecraft first and would be moderator second. He's on cs all the time right now anyways without mod and him gaining isn't going to change his hours.

This. I personally don't mind the usage of the word, but i understand why other people do. I wanna add on, the reason why the word "nigger" is still used with the intention to be racist or seen as more offensive is because of the past surrounding that word which a word like "cracker" wouldnt share, along with the current public opinion and politics in the U.S regarding racism, everyone knows racism is bad now, and people know there are extremists who will hunt you down for using the word "nigger" in any context, therefore want to avoid using it, while homophobia is seemingly more common, as two men kissing is just very unappealing to most straight men. Its also the reason why on a platform like youtube or twitter, you can be banned for using the word "nigger" regardless of context, while if you call someone a faggot as an obvious joke or an insult that has nothing to do with gay people, you probably wont face any repercussions, or at least nothing as heavy. If the media and US politics wasnt as touchy on that topic as they are rn tho, your argument would be completely valid @james8470 Also id say "nigga" should be fine, if it isnt already that is, as its generally known to be a term of endearment and almost never used in a geniunely racist and hateful way, and even then its not as aggressive -

-1 i feel like division leaders should not really be staff in other divisions so they can focus on working on the division they are in charge of. (exception being the case of those that work on the servers of other divisions to help like lithium working on tf2 because of his server knowledge) -
1 pointHonestly this goodbye message touched me and i'm not even from csgo.. Farewell @Roy and you see you next time once you return hopefully.

-1 I don't know what the innate attraction to surf is for some people, but I'm 99% certain that surf doesn't need more server-only staff. Only seen you on tgh once in the past several months, which isn't a great indicator of "activity." Because of this lack of variety in what you play, I also haven't been able to see you prove or disprove a growth in maturity from your last situation of demotion. -

-1 I haven't seen you on the servers unless you just play Surf which is probably the case, other than that last year when you came to stepping down you just started acting like a dick and that "you want to be spiteful" I have nothing personal against you, but I do not see a reason to give you staff other than the amount we currently have, you're sensitive enough to be bullied off the entire game, I haven't seen change as you are barely on and Surf's trash nigga -
1 pointQuoting myself from the last thread: "Can we just keep the basis that if someone is harassing someone, we punish them? Can we also keep in mind that the people are behind a monitor acting all tough; Literally ignore them. Punish them if they're harassing someone/you. How hard is that?" This thread has been made before. See here:

1 pointIt's like the 5 second rule. If you do anything gay, you'll have a window of about 5-10 seconds afterwards saying "No homo", and you're good. Though, if you kiss a guy, have sex with him, marry him etc. without saying no homo immediately, you are gay.

I understand this, I am just proving my point of your consistent lying about my behavior towards you (as in how you said I "spammed" you when none of that happened) As well, I looked at the chat logs, and I asked you why Fallen (the Minecraft town) was liquidated twice, as I didn't know why at the time. I also said "ScottNi more like Badni lmao" or something along the lines of that once as a joke. -

0 pointsWhat? Staff comes on tgh all the time what do you mean lol, the only staff I see who barely ever comes on tgh is @Owlknight_ or @ABlueSkittle123 and even then I do see them come on tgh every once and a while and they both go on other servers all the time when they are populated like ff2, there really isn't a bunch of "surf only" staff like you all are talking about so I wouldn't say that's a problem here lol. About this, although I do agree that what he did in 2017 on the forums and stuff was pretty immature and that he shouldn't have done it, I really wouldn't say that's much like what he is now. Also, I get that you don't ever really see him nowadays since haha surf's trash nigga but people do change over time which I know from personal experience and he's just been a nice guy to talk to on the servers and doesn't really start beef with anyone anymore so I wouldn't really say that defines him anymore, plus he does enforce rules and help out on the server all the time. Another thing, he isn't "sensitive enough to get bullied off the entire game" he had just been bored of tf2 and left for a month which is understandable, he did leave that dumb comment on there though later as a dumb joke which was really immature but still once again, he has changed from what he once was then and is ready for staff again.

@Sodium Ok first of all that was personal and you were kicked almost right away. Then when you were kicked you spammed me on discord and steam till I blocked you THEN you went on the servers mic spamming to get my attention. That’s why we are not friends. I gave you several warnings ahead of time that what you were doing was wrong and you continued even HG told you to stop. I don’t think this is the thread to post this because this is an issue between you and me -

+1 proved that he can activly moderate in minecraft as I have witnessed him many times enforcing rules. My main concern would be people scott has grudges with or him not moderating to much cause he has to split his time between the two servers. -

most of your sources are from over a year ago. Your other points aren't wrong. I just see a lot of times where i have to end up calling admin during the week. I understand a lot of people haven't talked to me in over a year so I see where its coming from. -

PolarCoded reacted to Roy for a post in a topic
I’m will be leaving xG for a while. The reason that I’m leaving xG it’s because I have 2 jobs now, and I will doing more work. As birthdays come and birthdays go, as our limits hold us from school or work. I’m sorry if I couldn’t done any good for the server of jb. If you have any questions, I will answer them honestly. xG thank you, you were like a family to me, even my family passed away, xG felt real to me. But there’s no happy ending not here and not now for me, my tale is all sorrows and woes, sometimes I dream justice and peace win the day, but that not how the story goes. I believe that, the new generation take my place in jb. Thank you @Brady1780 , @Dannypicacho, @BullseyeX , @Darrth , @ScottNi , @Hg2CI2 , @Genocide , and everyone else,thank you. I hope xG cs:go jb would be fine when I’m gone but I already know it’s gonna be fine. So I bid you guys fair well. Also just think about this and answer it in your head, who is the king of xG... Good bye yours truly, -Mr.Gladiator -
