That stance is that the word "rape," as it is most commonly known, defines the violation of an individual's body by an assailant. This experience is more emotionally and physically tormenting than any of us could ever realize, as this is not your morals that are being violated... not your beliefs, your ethnicity, your character, or your honor.
To Coldfury, Sure, it may have seemed as a joke to You.

Seriously, I mean it, there are plenty of centres in your country that deal with the issue. If a harmless joke such as this (one that is repeated throughout the western world quite frequently) is enough to offend you, seek help! While I'm at it, since it's been made clear in a previous thread that it is acceptable to say such things; y'all need to stop being such bloody wankers over stuff like this.
You said it was distasteful to you, yet you seem to make such an argument that it's a 'harmless' word?

NOBODY should ever make offenses like this and 3. IF YOU TAKE OFFENSE, YOU ARE PROBABLY TAKING THIS GAME TOO SERIOUSLY (its only a simulated world, so thats just simulated harrassment) 4. your all children
its just a game. they have no right to say the trash they say, but you dont have to listen to it and if the admins see it, they'l get banned, anyway. the trash coming from them is NOT worth your time. look how upset you've got yourselves. im not saying your a bad person, im just saying you need to rethink WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW. why are you all wasting your time on this? im wasting my time on this because the MV is down and im bored, otherwise i wouldnt waste my time enlightening you all.
this is just like al qaeda. yes i will compare mere harrassers to terrorists. because when you think you're winning the war on terror, but your so scared -Edited- theres even a chance that there could be an attack any time of any moment in any place, and you have to take such massive and ridiculous measures of security in all major public areas, monuments, transportation, etc., the terrorists are really winning. take that word appart: terror+ists. whats that first word, thats what americas experiencing right now (just an example b/c most of us are americans here)
the harrassers are winning here, too. you're all stupid for letting them win by making a big deal out of this. they're not a big deal. actually, no. i guess they have succeeded in becoming a big deal through your reactions, though if you want to see a big deal, PLAY THE GAME. destroy the earth or something. SHEESH. they cannot stop you from just ignoring them. it happens to everyone, not just women. -Edited this sentence..-. or whatever the hell is it is thats getting everyone so crazy right here.
oh yeah and i realise i used some swear words. if the hallway patrol wants to delete/edit my post, go right ahead, feel big and important. your all idiots and this thread is a monument to that. i dont really care, though. those harrassers are scumbags, and you guys have a lot of free time on your hands. thats both very annoying, and they're just taking advantage of you
oh yes but ofcourse none of this applies to real-life sexual harrassment because that can be dangerous and should be taken care of. no, theres probably just some 12 yr old kids laughing their -Butts- off that they made you so sad and so upset and so angry that you had to start this thread and whatnot. theres like 3 or 4 pages here, holy hell! and yeah, im not upset, just speaking in generalisations and trying to get your attn.

I have no clue, but if you can, find moderators who are willing to enforce the Rules of Conduct. -Crim

First off Crim, My choosing your post to quote here is nothing personal. I get find it to be the perfect post for my response and I have heard just exactly this type of " Find Moderators who are willing to Enforce the RoC" comments.
4. I have seen with my own eyes what kind of reaction it gets when Mods "Enforce the RoC" in the manner that people seem to now be requesting.........We tend to get called Nazis, and Ogres, and mean and overreacting etc etc. blah blah blah.
6. While I love my friends here dearly, and I love this community as a whole EVEN MORE........YOU ARE NOT MODERATORS! Yes I understand you are just trying to help us out, and we the staff generally never say anything about it to stop you, but in MANY Cases Your "helping" tends to inflame the situation because of the wonderful, and almost predictable response from the "Offender": "Your Not a Mod! I don't have to listen to you!" Etc etc.
Me personally I allow NON-Mods to take a shot at Handling a situation. MANY times this is actually taken a lot easier by the offender than any "Official" action, and the situation resolves itself. However if they continue PLEASE Step aside and let me handle it.
8. I do though allow the "off color" Remark or two slide......allow (and even sometimes Participate in) some "Borderline" banter.....For that I may very well be wrong, I don't know. I like to think That I only allow that sort of thing when the lobby is at a point in numbers that everyone is of an adult age (There are those times) and that I do NOT allow it when I know that Minors MAY be present.
9.The same goes for any comments that MAY be offensive to some people. The mere fact that YOU!!! do not find it offensive matters NOT ONE BIT AT ALL PERIOD If anyone else finds it offensive then it IS INFACT so to them and THAT my friends is where I have to draw the line.
