Game Development

I marked it as NSFW so if your coworkers saw you watching it then I'm sorry, but you're the one who should be flagged for being incapable of using a chatroom at work

honestly sometimes I get the impression you all live in boxes miles away from the outside world

Lasse

lol what now

what did you post this time?

Alex M.

go on 9gag's facebook feed

the latest video, the one with the woman making a painting

Lasse

I feel greatly tempted not to

Alex M.

then why the hell ask

Lasse

it's not the topic, it's the "9gag"

Alex M.

10:47 AM

that's a wrong way to look at things imo

great content can come from anywhere

but if you immediately dismiss a source you can be sure you won't see any great content from it, ever

Lasse

9gag is what's wrong in today's world

Alex M.

I wish I was able to see who flagged the video

I bet they also close their eyes in the shower so they don't see their private parts

I'll take another pause for a while

I felt surrounded by morons right there

Lasse

oh, but you are surrounded by morons all the time

as we all are

@AlexM. i was the one flagging it. it was mostly because it didn't belong here. if it was posted in pub I didn't care, but here is a different story

Alex M.

that's a lame as fuck reason

offtopic belongs here too

Ali.S

and by the way not every shit people do is a work of art, no matter what they that was just useless garbage

Alex M.

if you don't like what I post, ignore me

don't flag me

because that's not why flags are there

rolfl

Intervention required?

Alex M.

yes

teach ali s that he shouldn't flag things he considers to be useless garbage

rolfl

11:41 AM

@AlexM. - 4 people flagged it.

Alex M.

all of them in this room?

rolfl

It is a good lesson as to what people find offensive.

Alex M.

:\ it was a chain reaction because he flagged it

and other people in other rooms saw it

rolfl

Sure, it's a youtube video, it is not censored......

Alex M.

it is censored

rolfl

11:42 AM

What I mean is that it is not in the restricted 18+ area of Youtube (or is it ...?)

Alex M.

I don't see how a censored video can be rated 18+

rolfl

That's what I mean....

stop for a sec, let me get this out....

Alex M.

the point of me posting that was exactly what ali said

I too think it's useless garbage and just an attempt of that woman's to sell the uncensored version

disguised as "art"

rolfl

You post a video that is borderline.

You tag it with NSFW, so you are doing it willingly/knowingly

Alex M.

uh not safe for work

because if you are at work or in a public place

rolfl

11:44 AM

@AlexM. - that's the problem.... is that, StackExchange should be safe for work.

and, some people have the expectation that it is, and that is OK.

Alex M.

yeah, which is why I said it's nsfw

like, if you're at work, don't click on it

rolfl

If you want to sit at the edge, pushing the lines of what is acceptable for others. then you will get stung.

Alex M.

I can't know what is acceptable for others

you can't either

rolfl

Stack Exchange is not here to keep you entertained, or happy.

Stack Exchange is here to communicate ideas in a Q&A forum that is accessible to many, many people, and you have to ensure that you don't offend others, whatever their tolerances are.

If you don't you get suspended.

You are not going to adjust the attitudes of millions opf people single-handedly.

Alex M.

I'm pretty sure you don't spend this much time on a chat if it's not entertaining

rolfl

11:47 AM

@AlexM. - the key to being on here remains "Polite".

Someone thought you crossed the line.

Alex M.

but the thing was polite damnit

it was not offensive in any way

rolfl

I agree that it was reasonable for people to find it offensive.

Alex M.

I just can't see any way, and ali s is just one prime example of a clueless user who flagged it w/o it being offensive

rolfl

If you insist on being 'on the line', where 'the line' is what you consider to be kust short of offensive, then, you are undoubtedly crossing someone else's line, and you get stung.

Alex M.

he flagged it because he thought "it would go better in the pub since it's useless junk"

what kind of reason is that

rolfl

11:49 AM

@AlexM. and ali s is just one prime example of a clueless user who flagged it w/o it being offensive .... That's not fair, and it's wrong.

Alex M.

wrong or not, it's true

rolfl

No, it;s not.

This is where you are wrong.

Alex M.

how can it not be true, he admitted it

rolfl

For a start, you arew the clueless user... not him... you have not learned a simple system of what is appropriate or not. I am done with letting you push the limits, teaching you that chat is about everyones, not just your entertainment.

Alex M.

you keep talking about my entertainment

rolfl

11:51 AM

Your leash has just been shjortened a lot more.

Alex M.

everyone here is for their own entertainment :\

rolfl

I asked if you wanted me to intervene.

You said yes.

Alex M.

I remember, it happened a couple of minutes ago you know

rolfl

You posted a video of a girl 'crapping' paint balls from her vagina.

That's offensive.

How, in your world, is that to be considered "Politely" off-topic.?

Alex M.

it's just as offensive as a song by 50 cent

and that would have been fine

rolfl

11:54 AM

So?

If the 50-cent song was flagged, It would get removed.

YOU are the issue here because you are repeatedly getting flagged.

and not changing the way you interact.

Alex M.

that's mostly because I talk the most, but that's another story

rolfl

Since you are not learning, the appropriate response is suspension/

Alex M.

not talking at all doesn't mean you talk appropriately

rolfl

4 people flagged that.... it is not an 'edge case' ..... its a pattern of behaviour from many people.

You are wrong... and repeatedly wrong.

Last time I try to talk about it.... done.

Alex M.

don't bother, I'm sure I'll get flagged in less than a week again

you can suspend me in advance

make it long enough so that I do get a benefit out of it

rolfl

11:58 AM

If you want me to.....

just say "please suspend me now".

Alex M.

how long can you make it?

make it as long as possible :D

rolfl

the current minimum setting for GameDev and a few on here is 1 week.

(for non-automatic moderator suspensions)

Alex M.

can you make it 10 years :D

rolfl

Yes.. I can.

Alex M.

is that the maximum?

rolfl

12:00 PM

Nope....

Alex M.

I want to get the maximum please

I'm curious to see how long that is

rolfl

I take that as a yes?

Alex M.

eyup

be sure to not remove it

because that would make it pointless

user92578

Hey!

rolfl

Seems there is a limit.

Ali.S

12:07 PM

how long?

Blue

12:30 PM

Hot diggidy, burgers are awesome.

Well well, what on earth did I return to...

@rolfl Am I right in thinking he's been suspended?

I just had a brief skim of the convo

Goodness me, why did he push it so far.

Almo

12:47 PM

@rolfl WTF? Really? That is offensive.

Some people have to do that

I saw it time and time again at the Randi skeptics forum.

certain people just HAVE to push the rules because they think they're unfair somehow, and think that by pushing them they show the Powers that Be how unfair they are.

It's "change the rules or I leave, but only if you kick me out".

He had some good things to contribute, but it was always weighed down by the offensive things he posted.

Blue

^

@Almo Couldn't agree more, he was a smart kid but his common sense and demeanor let him and us down.

Almo

:(

Blue

He did contribute some fantastic posts, starred links, pretty funny for the most part.

user92578

So AlexM is banned for a looooooong time now?
