I read the new rules and I call double standard. We cant talk about being gay but we can preach fire and brimstone and Jesus. This site is awful and Mourn is clearly power tripping. Im proud to be gay and the admins can deal with it.

Where are these new rules?
Are they just for the chat?
I didn't see an update in here.

It seems weird they would target homotacosuals given they censor the word, but not turkey.

No one is allowed to talk about their preferences anymore. Stop acting like you have special rights because you're gay.

Mournblade implemented new rules in the chatroom last night, you see them before you enter it.

If it isnt flirting or innapropriate we should be able to.

Oh I see. But on the forum I can talk about having sex with that chick last night at the club, right?
Just people like Gaymer and other disgusting people can't talk about the things they do in chat, but can on the forum.

I'm happy with this.

WHY? I asked this before, and you didn't answer it. Why is it any of our business if you are a gay person or not? Who cares? What bearing does you being gay or not have on the forums and the discussion of the Wii U?

It would be a double standard if straight people can talk about it, but gay people can't.

 

Besides where in the rules does it imply that people can "preach" against something when the next rule clearly states: "Discrimination is not allowed. Prejudice towards any race, gender, nationality, tacos, or anything else will not be tolerated"

 

We implemented the new rules to deter the sexual conversations in the chat, usually started by your comments or Zinix's comments.

We don't need to be giving the admin more ideas on how to censor the site.

That's not the issue, though. Saying no one may talk about their sexual preferences is not discrimination, because therefore hetero people aren't allowed to either. It's fair.

We are aslo allowed to talk about our social lives.

[Byakuya Togami]

Talking about social lives hasn't caused problems. Talking about sexuality has.

Thats just the admin's excuse for justifying it. I know who it's targeted to.

[Nollog]

I remember that thread about our sexual orientations. That was a fun thread.
It disappeared a long time ago.

It'll be one hell of a tricky rule to uphold, imo.
And almost impossible to be fair about.
It is for the best, but already covered in the existing rules indeed.

Keep it appropriate. 

Off-topic: All this talk of tacos is making me hungry.

Nobody cares if you're straight/gay/lesbian/asexual.

You still didn't answer my question.

 

You're gay. Do you want us to throw you a party or something? Again, what you do in the bedroom should be none of our business. This is a forum for the Wii U, and some basic gaming. Not about the bedroom.

[Alex Wolfers]

It's targeted towards you because you've caused problems over it.

It was other people that got offended by my self expression. Well anyway I vented. Please lock this thread.

And to address this topic, I do not have permission to change the chat rules, I had to contact several people while I was writing them up before sending them to feldo.  I feel as if they are fair rules.

 

First and foremost, this site is about the WiiU.  This site is meant to be family friendly and users who are under the age of 18, should not be coming across posts regarding porn or posts regarding sexual activity. 

With the most recent incidents in chat, it has become apparent that there are major issues caused in chat and it shouldn't be just a place where obscene conversations should take place or a place for users to troll other users.  Many situations have risen up where specific users have been targeting other users due to their sexual preferences or the way they act.  The chat has changed from harmless conversations about regular things and gaming, into a hotbed of drama, spam, and trolling.  I wanted to do my best to keep chat alive for as long as I can, as it won't stick around for forever.
