  • He'll be a great mod for the team

    For starters, OzzyUK joined us as a mod.

  • We'll make it a temporary closure, but it IS still very necessary.

  • Nor does that diminish the fact that mods don't discuss ban reasons.

    There's always a good reason for why a user has been banned, but when we flag an offensive/troll post, you guys might not always be able to see the reasoning behind what caused a user to be banned.

    [Cough]

    I appreciate your generosity, I really do, but that doesn't diminish the fact that I still don't know why he was banned.

    I'm reopening this, but please drop it from this point on. The bans are temporary, and they were only because users broke the rules. Please don't continue discussing them or the thread will be closed again.

  • Thank you very much Jennifer! I'm really sorry about earlier. I wasn't here, but I still feel bad.

    Thanks again =)

    It's against the rules to use a term that insults a foreign culture, even as a joke. As Vain said, the forum users from that culture took great offense to it so a temporary ban as a warning was felt warranted.

    Like I said, the ban is not permanent and he's welcome to come back as long as he doesn't do it again. Please drop it now, as I said it's not right to be discussing forum members who aren't here to participate in the discussion.

    I respect it, but that way we will ever know why he was banned, they should just tell us now and be over with it.

  • Understood, thanks for opening this ^^

    Yo Salty, how you feel about LeBron opting out? We can move this to the basketball thread if you want.

  • Wow. That happened.

  • Hey, is anyone familiar with Romeo and Juliet? I have to write a 5 paragraph essay on it tomorrow for my English exam. Any tips?

  • What's the essay about, specifically?

  • Some of your friends got this idea that a directionless, empty, base-lacking, gif-spamming riot would work.

    As a law student, I was getting ready to explain how that was nonsense but I figured most would take it in a bad way.

  • Wow I feel like I gave them the idea to close this thread XD. Oh well. I would have done the same thing if I was a mod.

    I don't know. She just said that the exam would be on Romeo and Juliet. I'm familiar with the story, but there's some stuff I don't know due to immense amounts of Shakespearean language.

    What's the essay about, specifically?

  • Well, it's good that you didn't get involved. No need to have added fuel to the fire.

    I'm glad it's over with now. Finally we can return to normal. >.<

    Well... How would you feel if Carmelo joined Lebron on the Heat?

    Edit: never mind :D

  • Well, I agree with you. But if Melo goes to the Heat, I'm going to fucking jump out my window. If he's going to leave, he's got to go anywhere but the Heat.

  • it is posible to , one day, obtain happyness ?

  • Nah. Its was probably me. :/ Sorry people!

  • Yup. Most of these people were on edge anyway, and I wouldn't want to get anyone banned.

    I just hope you don't mention names you're not supposed to be mentioning.

    Well, it's good that you didn't get involved. No need to have added fuel to the fire. I'm glad it's over with now. Finally we can return to normal. >.<

  • I don't want him on the Heat anyway. Nope.

    I just need some role players. These old guys still got us to the Finals this year so imagine what we can do with some fresh legs.

    Nah. Many got involved. I said "I can't believe they haven't closed this thread yet." (Something like that) a couple minutes later the thread got closed :/

  • Well, there's this website that you can use to help you decode some of the passages, since sometimes Shakespeare can be a little hard to understand: http://nfs.sparknotes.com/romeojuliet/

    It's basically like a modernized version. She'll probably give you some more information on what the essay is about tomorrow, but I would just do a quick read through, just to get a bit more comfortable with the terminology.
