It starts with the nose though
Yea I think a week is way too much 24hrs if anything. I said "niggas" when people thought I was white and only got 24hrs.
You got banned for rubbing people the wrong way in here with it. For whatever reason, you think that being black means you can't offend other black people - just like Zero Tolerance from a long time ago. If you're not sure how you're coming off with certain things, then feel free to follow up about it. I mentioned this again in another thread where you had similar comments.
"But I'm black" is not good enough and never has been for certain stuff - especially not in this thread.
Edit: and not all bans are the same. unless there's something we have to be clear about going forward... Harassment, image policy, repeat offenses, emphasizing certain lines, etc

Well fuck at least I finally got an explanation. Honestly thanks. Cause I asked for one in an email when I was banned and got fucking nothing back.
And thanks to this thread I've come to understand that Black Americans have a vastly different experience from me. Cause here black people were not subject to no where as extreme structural economic discrimination so I had a hard time understanding your plight.

By Lunatic Go To PostYea I think a week is way too much 24hrs if anything. I said "niggas" when people thought I was white and only got 24hrs.24 hours seems fair. Ninjafridge is never an ass. He banters, but it's always harmless.
Questioning the poop ban shouldn't have lead it to being one week. It's a disagreement than anything else.

By Hitch Go To PostWould it have been a week if it was a different game? ¬¬yes
Hmm...Maybe I should change my name to Destiny Reasons. Cause ninja wasn't wrong and that's my thing now I guess.
By Kibner Go To PostOn the same page, multiple mods said not to be a dick. What did he do? Be a dick to another poster. I'm not playing anymore.Sorry but I disagree. Ninja has never been a dick and that's saying a lot considering the amount of banter in FootballSlaent.
We make fun of each other's choices in games all the time. That was one of them.
Every mod that was online today explained where that line was.
And it's obvious what we'd been doing in the past just wasn't effective anymore either. I think there's been enough suggestions, warnings, and edits already.

The tribunal added that witnesses, experts and investigators had told of how Falun Gong practitioners continued to be killed in order for their organs to be extracted. It added that forced organ harvesting was also being performed while victims are still alive, killing the person in the process.
The statement recalled how one witness, Dr. Enver Tohti, told of how as a surgeon in China he had been required to perform organ extractions. Referring to one instance in which he extracted an organ from a living patient, he said: “What I recall is with my scalpel, I tried to cut into his skin, there was blood to be seen. That indicates that the heart was still beating … At the same time, he was trying to resist my insertion, but he was too weak.”
Several survivors of prison camps told the tribunal of how they were subjected to physical examinations including blood tests, X-rays and ultrasounds, the statement said. “Experts report that the only reasonable explanation for these examinations was to ensure that victims’ organs were healthy and fit for transplantation,” it added. A healthy liver, for example, can reportedly be sold for some $160,000, according to the statement.
The tribunal concluded that it was "beyond reasonable doubt" that crimes against humanity had been committed against the Falun Gong and Uighur Muslims but that it could not prove that the killing of the Falun Gong amounted to genocide — because of the tribunal's inability to prove ‘intent’ to commit ‘genocide.’

We have taken the approach of moderating different threads differently maybe it has been too vague but it gives people more freedom to have a better experience in each thread. What flies in a sports might not fly in poli because of how serious people take it and rightful so because their lives are affected by laws and politics...
I would rather not moderate all threads the same and I kind of assumes nobody wants that because that's no fun

I think that's fair actually, but could have been better explained. If you want to have more discourse and less banter in the politics thread than I'm all for it, with more freedom in other threads.
Hell, I'm pretty sure Ninja is as shocked as any of us from his ban. That was pretty light banter elsewhere in this forum.
Reduce his ban lads. That is very light for a week long ban, not to mention how confused we are with the new policy.

But in all honesty Ninja got banned for wanting to step that line after being told dial it back. There was a whole conversation about what not to do in this thread.
Also want to make it this is not a blank cheque to do anything for any threads but poli or whatever just we do tend to tighten down on these type of threads

By Laboured Go To Post(He's talking about Trickle Down / tax reduction economics for those that aren't aware.)Despite it's ignoble origins, the Laffer curve is generally accepted to be true. Just because US Republicans use it as a universal argument for lower taxes doesn't mean that the idea itself should be thrown out.

There was a rash of articles after your initial thread. I remember reading them thinking how crazy this shit was.
I mean you know shit like this has been happening since early medicine but it seems more plausible as a profit scheme with more advanced medicine. Watch the cartels move on to this.

The GOP acts like it’s not a curve but rather a linear plot on the graph. Including laffer himself
By Fenderputty Go To PostThe GOP acts like it’s not a curve but rather a linear plot on the graph. Including laffer himselfI’d say the biggest issue with is that no one actually knows what point on the curve maximizes tax revenue. Most tax economists put it at 70% but you’d never see that rate in the US these days lol.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostI’d say the biggest issue with is that no one actually knows what point on the curve maximizes tax revenue. Most tax economists put it at 70% but you’d never see that rate in the US these days lol.
It's may be a bug, but it's an exploited bug. IT's not like we're trying for optimization of the curve anyway, and I would assume different economies may handle different levels better or worse. These mother fuckers, though, they know more tax cuts aren't going to generate more revenues with where the old rates were. It's not like they were pondering the effects of a 50%-40% fall. We're way fucking past the drop off on that curve. Didn't stop them from selling that to the hordes. BOOOM goes the deficit.
Which just enrages me over a different subject. None of these motherfuckers actually care about deficits cause they're mostly all educated enough to know that inflation is the more important metric of health. So blow it up for rich guy tax cuts but continue to sell deficit fear so they can cut entitlements and welfare.
Doesn't matter to me how many taxes Trump cuts on the rich, as long as he doesn't raise taxes on the poor (i.e., middle class) via Supreme Court specials either.
Now that's a true moderate right there.
Now that's a true moderate right there.
Imagine thinking his many trade wars aren’t a tax on the everyday man
Imagine thinking your bullshit is for the everyday man when you know the plan is to starve the beast when giving rich people tax cuts

I don't think anyone is ready for what we'd have to do in order to 'beat' China at this type of thing either.
Imagine thinking that NAFTA wasn't the first shot fired in taxing the every day man.
