So while that freedom of speech has been tested over the years, as long as you keep a modicum of respect for each other, and keep that shit in the appropriate forum or thread, you generally won't have any trouble from The Management™.
He said bad words to a dev, and in the process of made the forums look like they are full of uncouth degenerates. same reason the wall got the hammer.
feel free to ask about warnings, rules broken, etc. you’ll get no answer, it’s arbitrary - except for one unifying principle. It preserves a certain admin’s provledged social status amongst devs and publisher marketing teams.
These bans aren't arbitrary, they follow a pattern. Kike-mocking is banned, pedophilia is promoted.He said bad words to a dev, and in the process of made the forums look like they are full of uncouth degenerates. same reason the wall got the hammer.

You made a thread begging for arbitrary bans.

Edgy, Anti-Semitic, racist, every post has at least one ethnic slur?He was pretty edgy, Anti-Semitic, racist and every single post of him contains at least one ethnic slur but did he break any Codex official rule?
I appreciate that, I think infinitron does himself a disservice by not actually engaging in these questions. He just mashed buttons and goes back to posting marvel update videos.
It probably does annoy him when the natives leave GD and screech about kikes at some unsuspecting gamedev. It's unproductive for no real reason.
I can't say I even entirely disagree with him. We should exercise some degree of diplomacy and common sense. He doesn't care at all if you write the sequel to Mein Kampf, as long as you keep it in its lane and don't try to ruin the few scraps of legitimacy the Codex gaming news section manages to retain
Yes, and in regions far broader than the Codex.As it stands, capricious self-interest seems to rule the day.
Hey, I do things.DU does not do things
I own (i.e., pay for) and "administrate" (i.e., let people who work for free moderate) a forum with traffic similar to the Codex's,
Nah I called the dev of that fag game a slippery kike.Kike-mocking is banned
The dev in question decided to mix in Africans with Romans and Celts in Britannia, for "immersion" purposes of course. No real reason is a bit of a stretch.It probably does annoy him when the natives leave GD and screech about kikes at some unsuspecting gamedev. It's unproductive for no real reason.

I said bad words to Chris Avellone (specifically, naming the Jew), and received an award for it.
I own (i.e., pay for) and "administrate" (i.e., let people who work for free moderate) a forum with traffic similar to the Codex's, and we too have a "we reserve the right to exercise our own discretion" clause. The reason is simply that some people are excellent at placing their toes right on the line of the official rules, causing the maximum (technically) permissible chaos and disruption to the forum while at the same time generating a gigantic burden of additional (unpaid!) work for the staff, all while very carefully avoiding the slightest actual rule breakage... and often contributing little to nothing of value.
I should know, because I was an absolute grandmaster and genuine trendsetter of that gimmick for years. A master rule-toer is a problem in and of himself, and since it's difficult to create a rule that covers toeing the rules comprehensively, transparently, and forthrightly, we reserve the right to exercise discretion.
Every time someone is banned, people always ask why. The biggest reason I don't care to explain is that I'm too lazy and disinterested to explain; but it's also vaguely amusing to watch people come up with conspiracy theories.
agris Containment of problem posters creates a lot of work for the staff. There is a huge issue with any suggestion that requires staff to do actual work, because they aren't paid and don't want to do any, especially for the sake of some shitposting asshole online. It's actually just that simple. Most people who don't run a forum don't ever consider the staff workload that would be created by implementing X or Y suggestion.

I actually do appreciate the shit out of what he does, but his tendency to shill things that the community has no prolonged interest in *combined* with an apparent self-interested motivation in banning some posters who contribute to the free flow of ideas here… idk man, the codex is kinda unique for 2022. I hate to see it degraded beyond what just the influx of new users do to it.
