Fenixp: What? Am I missing something here? What the fuck is going on?

Psyringe: Just some moaning about one internet forum on another one, mixed with the usual overblown comparison to North Korea (yawn), and some racial stereotypes thrown in, which happen to even miss the intended mark because Korean's don't even have the accent that the post is trying to make fun of. There may also be some legitimate concern about heavy-handed moderation on Bioware's forum somewhere underneath, but if that's the case, then this message is really deep buried under all the ... crap.
Lol, i'm sorry your mind is oh so lofty and mature that you can't enjoy a bit of crude humor with the rest of us peons. :p

Fenixp: Yea I get that, but what the hell is that video? What has that to do with anything, well other than some random gamer chick posting useless stuff on youtube as they often do for whatever reason. (Maybe it's just me not noticing contents of the video over that quite sexy voice used in incredibly obnoxius way)
It's basically someone taking the OP post and reading it in a silly cheesy way. I think.

I suppose it's for the benefit of those who can't read. Can't think of another explanation.
Some people here(I think) like to sit in their lofty castles and pretend this forum is the pinnacle of netiquette and manners and that anyone posting otherwise needs to be made example of like some poor whipping boy, or they can't take an off-color joke because being ultra-PC has been bred into their brains....or maybe they're in a bad mood. :\
Dude, you don't need a lofty castle in PC Manners alley, Pinacleville not to laugh at some chick reading aloud something that has to deal with what I guess is some moderator on some forum. Not visiting said forum is quite enough. Dramatic reading of stupid shit can be funny as seen or [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1mKb0txaE8]here, but this ain't the case.

P.S.: Although if the post is how the OP fights his DA2 induced PSTD, well...whatever helps, man. Whatever helps.

I hope I didn't put it across to mean everyone who didn't like the thread or joke, just those downrating OP is all for posting it(I of course mean those doing it because they're in a bad mood or some other bad reaosn of course)....not everyone who disliked the joke.

And I also meant(of the ones specifically outlined above) those who didn't just dislike the joke but hated OP for posting it. That's all. Sorry for the confusion or if I offended you somehow.

(Btw, I was talking about the joke in OP post not the youtube clip itself perse.)

(Also loving the Walken clip. I had it saved once but lost it and never finished listening to it.)

Aww come on, I even laughed at the Pirate Bay picture you posted the other day. ;) But this thing here I have to admit I find so un-funny that it doesn't even hit "meh" level, sorry. The best thing about it is the the next joke that crops up will almost certainly be better. ;)

Well if you just didn't find it funny that's ok. With everyone pestering roman I thought you were one of those just jumping on him for posting off-color stuff. My bad. No hard feelings eh? :)

Roman5: People here really need to chill out and get a grip
lol, where have I heard this before?? This forum consists of an international membership and you post something that belittles a specific nationality expecting none to find it . . . if not offensive . . than just inappropriate and vote accordingly . . AS THEY ALWAYS DO AND SHOULD . . . if offended.

It's not "people" sitting in "lofty castles" . . . it's the community as a whole responding to anything they feel is inappropriate. The membership is well educated, worldly, hip, mostly mature and internet savvy having moved on from 4chan years ago. If they want 4chan they know where to find it and prefer to not have it served up on their favorite gaming forum.

What do you expect the response to be when you post something that will appeal to a few members and offend even more . . . somehow only those that approve will have an opinion and +1 your post?

Why are you so surprised when the community responds in a predictable fashion?

Not trying to offend . . . just at a loss to understand why you don't. . . = )

Funny how sometimes things are offensive/spam when one member posts them(not saying me btw but anyone) and when another member posts similarly(i've seen it happen) the results are totally different.

(As an example I noticed several silly threads started here on GOG in the past week or so and depending on who the member was some were uprated and some were low rated, regardless if the content was offensive or not.)
---------------------------------------------------------------
It's not the whole community, (There are exceptions I know.) it's mainly just a small bunch of men and women who think it's their duty to be the shunning/content police of GOG.com....not many here vote.......if everyone or most voted the meter would likely break and posts ratings would fluctuate so fast your heads would spin.

And don't tell me everyone votes fairly and applies an even standard.....i'm guessing at least some unfairly rate stuff down for unfair reasons.

Also nice subtle punch at channers there. ;\
------------------------------------------------------------------
C'mon, you act as if you KNOW how many people here downrated OP's post or disliked it, or how most would respond(of all GOGgers total). You have concrete numbers to back that up?

And I think OP expects people on both sides to say their peace on the topic at hand and interact with each other or leave. Not voting down his OP solely because they don't think his type of humor/content belongs on GOG while chastising him to death.

Thanks for posting that link, OP, it lead me to see this.

Noooo . . . You think it's a "small bunch of men and women" trying to police content. You used to add "old timers" to the list of conspirators as well. The community is who determines what is appropriate by -1 / + 1 repping what they like and dislike. No matter how many time you imply a small group is hating and policing . . . it is not true . . . especially to those who are active on the GOG forum.

I can tell you immediately when a post will be down repped . . . it really simple to determine. Once the down repping starts . . . you will proceed to make the accusations that a small group is responsible and then attack anyone who disagrees with YOUR point of view.

People vote as they see fit and should not be criticized for voting neg reps when they are offended.

No, I have no idea how many down-repped the OP . . . I simply see it was down repped and now it's not . . . with you defending a post found to be offensive by the community post and ridiculing all that found it offense.

You can say noo till you're blue in the face it doesn't make it true....but thanks for possibly trying to paint me to be a complete nut in an attempt to discredit me.(I don't know if you are doing this but some here have done this in the past and if you didn't mean to do this I apologize. If you did, though, I ask why you felt the need to use such a lowball conversation tactic?)

Also I have had several PMs from people saying they police content in this forum and do such shunning tactics here, both to me in the past and others here currently. Make of that what you will. BTW I still add some old timers on the list......I just made the description basic so as not to single anyone out.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I am free to make accusations that they are doing so as I know they are, and I don't stop you from making such accusations on your opposing end now do I? I don't even attack anyone btw, I just rebutt them(currently) for the most part.
---------------------------------------------------------------
As I said how do you know all who downvote something are offended by the content and not just the poster, and want to shun them? I said not all do this but I know for a fact some do.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I was "defending" it because I saw no reason for it to be downrepped, i'd do the same if anyone's post were unfairly downrated....not just roman's or mine. I also wasn't ridiculing everyone. Read my one post on this page a bit above. I clearly stated who I took offense to and why. I wasn't ridiculing anyone unfairly afaik.

I found it funny. I think the guy reading the posts in one of the previously linked videos is the same guy who hosts "Ownage Pranks", and I just love that show. Sure he has some stereotypes that may offend some people, but he never uses them to be spiteful. It's just for fun.

This is what some just don't get.....it's all in good fun, not to be racist(If the original poster wrote it not in azn stereotype speak I bet everyone mad about the OP post would be less com-plaintive about it at any rate)....and to get back at a nasty Bioware mod as well. :)
