    I'm sick of seeing people using the words 'fag', 'faggot', 'gay', 'homo', etc. in a bad way.

    Yes, that is ME saying it.

    I'm ------ing tired of seeing it, because i know people use to get suspended for saying it, and i'm doing my goddamn best not to use those words, so why the ------ are others getting away with it?

    If i can stop using words like that in a bad way, anyone can.

    I don't care if you use those words in a negative way, but you mods should make up your damn mind. Allowed to use or not?

    They are words. Why don't we just ban anything else that has any negative connotation to them while we are at it.

    Idiot? How ------ing dare you.
    Learn to judge you fellow peers more appropriately.
    If you are making a move to ban words that have a negative connotation then all words that are insulting should be banned. For instance you use of the words Idiot should be banned. On top of moron, stupid, unintelligent. Anything that may demean a human should be banned from this website. That is what you are inviting by putting a taboo on people.

    Also that statement was to the Admins, but if you want a personal duel then feel free.

    The use of 'gay' is not allowed unless logic states otherwise, though you may use that word in the flame section as anything goes there...

    Well, as far as I was aware, it USED to be spelled correctly. Because trust me... if it's been spelled incorrectly like that for as long as I've had it, it would have been BOUND to be pointed out when it was first there. So, I'm under the impression that it was altered more recently, otherwise everyone here passes off as fools (including myself) for not noticing it before.

    Just to make things clear. Generally, any slurs towards race, sexuality, religious views etc OUTSIDE of the flame forum, will be delt with. Inside the flame forum, anything goes. So if you don't like it, don't go in the flame forum.

    well..
    if someone does something stupid once it's usually overlooked.
    if they do it again it's often over looked
    and if again it's also overlooked.
    and again
    and again
    and again
    and again
    and again
    and again
    and again
    and again
    and again
    and again
    and again
    and again
    and again
    and again

    but after a point the internet can only hold so much stupid.

    I do indeed call people out for the use of those terms in an inappropriate manner. However, I try to warn them about it verbally before I start taking action about it. Let it be known that, that it is indeed NOT okay to use those terms in a negative manner, they are NOT meant to be negative words. Some of them describes feelings of a happy emotion, and other things, and are more commonly used to describe a persons lifestyle, and there is NOTHING wrong with the particular lifestyle that they describe. That being said, the use of those words outside of the flame forum, can and will get you into trouble.
