Yes, it is people like this I am talking about, not Hosie.
The interesting thing, which I would suggest you think about for a while, is that when people like that get closed, the posts condemning the closure read almost EXACTLY like your post directed at me - i.e. "OH MY GOD, THIS IS THE INTERNET, HOW CAN YOU BE OFFENDED BY MY HARDCORE PORN GALPIC?!"
What then happens is someone like Hosie comes along, makes a relatively inoffensive fleet name, launches it at someone who is a bit unhinged and soon there is a MH closing them because well, we cant have people called poofs on the internet.
Tietäjä: regarding your reply to me, I think that both the forum and the game are pretty vague with regard to what is acceptable.
I think the attitude of the forum moderators appears to be that the less moderation that is done the better. Having said this, there is very obviously a line which must not be crossed, and a much more consistent approach to the task as compared to how the MH work.
For the record the phrase "soccer is for poofs" doesn't offend me, and I am pretty sure that it wasn't Hosies intention to offend or discriminate against homosexuals - although Im pretty sure he was trying to offend and discriminate against fans of association football.
I strongly suspect though, that if there weren't so many people (as nolezy rightly points out) making GENUINELY racist, sexist, homophobic comments on forums and in game, that this thread may never have existed...
