Nooooooo, rauper runs the place and he comes in now and again. EG isn't as massive and faceless a corporate enterprise as you perhaps think. I'm pretty sure someone in the EG offices is a forum mod.

I would imagine that the website people are a different bunch to the forum management.
Could you also not have, like, e-mailed someone? I'm sure there's a big ol' "Contact us" button somewhere. What with creating accounts to whine about being GIed usually being against the rules and all that.
I didn't know what eses to do really.
Do you see the difference? -

Yeah but he strikes me as a racist as well. FFS 90% of EG are racist in a joking manner. And as for the child abuse jokes, e.g. what's the best thing about twenty six year olds? There's 20 of them.
Or what do you get if you push a 7 year old down the stairs? An erection. All from EG. -

Plus, I have a very dry style of humour.
I love dry humour, but just not racism humour. vermin does a great job of dry offensive humour without acting like a 1950's ignorant xenophobe. -

Who, Groove?
Hang about, he got GI'd for the Chinese joke?
No, I think he probably got it for starting a thread in which he spoke about having been on the phone to some call centre staffed by an Indian chap (or some other foreign call-centre friendly nationality) and having misunderstood what the guy was saying at the end of the conversation to the point where he pretty much just hung up because he wasn't getting anywhere in terms of understanding what he was being asked by said call-centre operative, and how he felt bad about having done that.
Along with some sweeping generalisations about how they speak, I think the tipping point might have been the somewhat perjorative term he used to refer to foreigners that operate call-centres, although I only caught the first few posts and didn't see what sort of merry hell the rest of the thread descended into, nor the size of the hole he subsequently dug for himself while no doubt attempting to justify his original post... -

EG style IMO.
I was blatant and casual racism dropped into your post seemingly unaware, like you were a disgustingly filthy racist from another era.
It's hard to say what is the acceptable 'style'.
It's at your own risk in trying to mimic it.
I got called (rightly so) for a 'joke' casually racist comment too.
What did I learn?
Groove is an attention seeker

I fail to see why these jokes are acceptable and groove's clearly ironic post isn't.
If EG wants to be liberal and allow this sort of thing, it needs to be consistant - the boundaries of what's acceptable and what's not are clearly blurred at the moment. -

1. Agreed.
1. It's almost impossible to do dry humour in text form without some people not getting it.
2. There's a line. You went past it.
3. I don't think you were nasty, just fucked up to think what you posted was ever going to be deemed acceptable.
4. Apologies are only really acceptable when you actually mean you're sorry.
2. Agreed.
3. Fucked up is a bit overly judgmental - I think 'stupid' or 'naive' is a bit less dramatic.
4. How do you know he's not? That first post in this thread seems pretty apologetic. -

That's the very point, I didn't think it was ironic at all. He just strikes me as a genuine racist. -

Registered 15 years agoNow I'm just gutted I didnt get to see the original thread.
Given that most of us spent yesterday discussing how best to maim a load of five year olds with our bare hands, and some of the horrendous stuff that has cropped up in the Worst Joke thread, I dread to think what was actually said to result in a banning. -
