Poll of the Day > Gamefaqs mods tell me that having a period is offensive

(+) Yeah! (+)

As a woman, I'm sorry that it's offensive. I guess the Bible is right. We really should be locked away or murdered when we bleed for five days or more.

I'm usually "fair, next", but that moderation sounds ridiculous.

I think it falls under "sexually explicit"
---

How often were we told by other posters we're PMSing on here? Never modded.

Mods claim they're more "lenient" with the ToS until we see shit like this or coocoo for Cocoa Puffs.
---

What? Seriously? How is that offensive?

They said it's offensive to use a "gendered slur." I said how is it a gendered slur if I am a woman. Am I slurring myself I don't get it

Guys, don't take Jen seriously. She's on her period

Hey, mods.

I'm on my period right now.
---

Watch out michalecole that's a gendered slur!

Sarcasthma don't slur yourself!
---

Let me offer you the same condolences you offered me the last time I posted about an unfair moderation:

Fair, next.

I don't care about being modded tho

This one is funny

I feel a slur coming on right now, Jen.

You know, downstairs.

That's ridiculous! I totally agree with you. I don't understand it either. How is it a slur when we're women? It's a natural biological function and not designed to offend.....

That's the thing. Even if you ask "are you on your period" how is that offensive? If you moderate that as offensive you're saying having a period is offensive. That in and of itself is offensive lmao

.....and gamefaqs mods wonder why they have the negative reputation they do when ridiculous moderations like this occur.

They also describe hypnoxxing as offensive so we have to use a ridiculous word for it.

What did you actually post?

I asked ziggi if he had his period

Actually talking about masturbation is flagged, as long as you don't use it in a bad way, it's fine.

Wasn't that modded because you quoted ziggi? Fair, next. Stop responding to him. He'll leave again soon we hope.
---

No it wasn't. I disputed it and they said it wasn't modded because I used a gendered slur.

So you used it as an insult.

That dates from a time when "masturbate" and "fap" were autoflagged, which is no longer the case. Now, unless you're being particularly explicit about it, you can generally talk about bashing the bishop without needing to resort to obscure euphemisms.

yeah I hate the world we live in, had a step sister who got suspended from school for farting. which I could see if she made a huge scene out of it, but I doubt she did.

Probably modded by a misogynist

They have some really messed up people acting as authority around here

Yeah would be fair I guess if all the guys who ever said it to me on here ever got modded for it but they never did lol

But I'm not complaining about the moderation. I'm saying the moderation is comical.

mods are never consistent. I got modded for calling someone a idiot in a thread where that insult was being launched back and forth constantly. yet I got singled out mere minutes after talking bad about the mods. wonder why that is.

In my experience, anything that criticizes the mods or straight white males is quickly punished. Anything that criticizes anyone else is okay.

Probably bc people very rarely ever criticize people for being black or whatever else here. Going on "straight white male" tirades is the newest fad though and therefore rampant and more annoying

actually I got modded for calling a transexual video game character by the supposedly offensive term for them, didn't even know it was considered offensive. as i've never even met one to tell me it was offensive. I didn't use it in a insulting manner at all either, just as a descriptive term, hell if I recall in the same post I mentioned I liked the character

I can remember one. Every few months a topic about black women comes up and people jump over themselves to try to tell everyone that they don't find black women attractive. It's a bit more subtle than openly using racial slurs, but it's pretty obvious what's going on even if they do want to hide behind "it's just my preference".

well as a guy who did have a major crush on this black chick in highschool, yeah preference is a thing. hell I know people who simply don't like blondes. something as simple as the color of hair can turn someone off.

me I hate really curly hair on anyone. also hate those bangs that are bone straight across the forehead while the rest of the hair is long.

It's not that people don't or can't have preferences, it's that they're so eager to shout it from the rooftops every time a topic about an attractive black woman comes up.

fair enough, I don't go doing that so I can see your point. but I guess some people are just eager for any kind of conversation as I find myself talking on posts I really don't give a fuck about

Kek. Granted, almost any weird verb noun combination sounds like it could refer to it.

If it doesn't get reported, it doesn't get modded. And sometimes the mods are just lazy. However, I know that feeling... well, the feeling of being modded for something while others aren't, not the feeling of it being that time of the month.

Apparently having preferences is racist? It's kind of like how if straight men don't fuck an attractive man then they're homophobic, right?
