Regarding My Warning

[The Storyteller]

The following is a warning which has been issued to you by an administrator or moderator of this site.

This is a warning regarding the following post made by you: http://aurorastation.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=50&p=30553#p30553 .

Talking about vaginas is not PG-13 in any way, shape or form. Please read these because ignorance will not be an excuse for breaking the rules. http://aurorastation.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=20

 

I was unaware that the word was considered "rated-R," and to attempt to consolidate the fact that the implication that it isn't PG-13 is ridiculous, here's a PG-13 movie that uses the word exceedingly. Take that, #thesystem.

A thread dedicated to discussing the implimentation of sexual organs is not PG13, even if it is ment as humour.

I mentioned the word once, and said that it should be added to the anatomy of a race within the game. I have linked a reference where it is used in a much more unscientific manner, which is also PG-13.

The implimentation of sexual organs is not a topic that is PG13, even if used in a joking manner.

The implications what was suggested, which can be inferred from word choice to be erotic, is definitely not PG13.

First of all, I don't know who said I was joking. I feel like this is a drawback in the lore implementations within this server, and was making a very serious post regarding my lore idea. It was disappointing to see it moved AND locked, despite the sincerity of my idea. ((Which received resounding support, by the way.))

And, once again, I am linking you to something that has a more crude manner. I've linked a movie that is PG-13 for, and I quote, "crude and sexual content." Your problem appears to be that you are mixing up PG-13 and G ratings. If the server is to be considered G rated, then I will apologize for my actions, and I will not make the mistake again. But, until that happens, my point still stands. And, although you can infer that my implications were suggestive - which once again, IS PG-13 - you cannot speak for me, which I will say, my post was purely scientific.

You are free to make a staff complaint if you believe my actions were wrong. I was acting not only under the rules, but also orders of the headministrator. Really, it's the exact same deal as when we stop people talking about genitalia on OOC.

Edit: As per our rules, General isn't where you discuss administration action. General is only for discussing rules. As per that rule, I will be moving this to the staff complaint sub if you continue to discuss on the topic of me warning you for the rules.

I'm not a big part of anything...Like at all, and I do not wish to be.

However, from a totally metal, not wanting to start anything in any way, shouldn't the word "dick" also be excluded for the same reasons as given here?

[Chaznoodles]

This seems pretty ridiculous. You could ban pretty much all of the playerbase if you're banning on 'muh naughty words' now.

[The Storyteller]

I assume that all of these people will be receiving warnings at some point?

Along with others who have posted no-no words. ((I can't say them, because I don't want to get in trouble.))

[Doomberg]

Apparently I'm late.

Tl;dr: You were not warned for talking about genitals. You were warned because that was your third troll post in about 24 hours despite being discreetly told not to make posts like these, to which you responded by making more posts like these. The debate of what falls under PG-13 and what doesn't is ultimately irrelevant and for another place. No, I wasn't clear when I asked Tish to warn you - you're free to blame me for that, I apologize, it was a lapse of judgement. Any further questions?

[Guest Menown]

Jesus. It's not about the word. He asked about skrell vaginas being added, primarily as a joke. There's no reason for them, and of course it's for joking purposes. We've been told not to discuss dildoes, dicks, ect, on OOC, so why would this be any different?

As somebody who's been warning /three/ times about different things, I know when to learn. Just take the warning in stride, you know what you did, and you were told how to change it.

This doesn't have to be a big deal, despite people trying to make it out to be.

As for your request for lore, maybe you could have asked for information on the Skrell reproductive process. I imagine they'd have cloacas, since they lay eggs, so that would likely be your answer. You didn't have to go, "Skrells need vaginas, lore team, get your shit together. ((Also, extendable tentacles, too. That'd be fuckin' hot.))"

[The Storyteller]

Yes, I was. The warning specifically states that I am not to use the "v" word on the forums, as it is not PG-13.

I was never once warned on the forum or in game to discontinue my "troll posts" by staff. And, I don't recall doing anything of the sort. Everything I've posted has been for a reason, and that reason was - in all cases - 100% serious. Just because you find things that I am passionate about silly, does not mean that I am trolling. And, I will re-iterate again, I was NOT warned by staff for "trolling." Not discretely, or otherwise. I was warned because I was apparently not remaining PG-13.

 

The debate of what falls under PG-13 and what doesn't is ultimately irrelevant and for another place.

 

I am aware, and it IS taking place in another place, under a complaint. I was simply responding to the last post made on this thread.

As I previously stated, I am very passionate about the lore of this game, so at the time, it felt right to word my suggestion in such a manner. As I have had time to collect myself, and dry myself off after the ordeal that was the request I made, I would like to apologize, as I didn't mean to sound brash. I simply think that rather than laying eggs, Skrell should have the "v" word thing.

This was the post you made after I asked Ryfer to relay that you should probably delete your previous post, which was in a similar vein.

As for the warning being mislabeled: That is purely my fault, I have explained the issue, the reason will be adjusted, etcetera.

You clearly elected to ignore the spaghetti in that post, otherwise you would have been enjoying some delicious hospitality. There was no ill-will there.

Then post that seriously in the lore question. Not in the most not-serious way possible in the general board. You'll get nowhere with a joking tone to your posts, if you seriously want to know or have something done.

Yes, I understand. It was a mistake in tone at the time, and it won't happen again. I am a serious role-player, and I know I should act like it. Thank you for setting me right.

[Doomberg]

Alright. Since you have nothing further to say in your defense apart from a vague attempt at humor, I'll be locking this and addressing the complaint later.
