I can see it now, eh?

Please note that the word "gay" itself isn't what's causing the issue, at least in my opinion. It's other pejorative terms that people have been using.

In other words, I myself (and probably most of the other mods) would likely not vote for an infraction for someone that just said, "That's so gay". Especially since I moved to Utah 3 years ago I've noticed many people use that phrase in contexts very unrelated to homosexuality.

Reading between the lines it would appear that Kicky is the lone crusader against using the word gay in a pejorative manner.

My own damn self, I don't see that between no lines, eh, Marcus? Ya could be right, but all I see is that Colton don't see it that way. But he's only one vote, if he votes.
 
I would say that we can't really know until, in an ex post facto kinda way, someone gets an infraction. But, truth is, even then ya aint gunna know nuthin. Word is that Bum just got an infraction for "runnin afoul" of the "crackdown" demands, but just how he done it aint never revealed.

Not necessarily. I'm just saying that (in my opinion) the phrase "that's so gay" probably wouldn't result in an infraction because it doesn't carry homosexual implications any more. Again, in my opinion.

However, the third strike for Trout's recent suspension was calling Hayward "Gayward", so at least three moderators voted for that one. (I myself didn't vote on that, but would have likely voted in favor of an infraction or warning, if I had.)

Well, there ya have it, then, eh, Marcus? Ya just about gotta conclude that they word g*y is now taboo.

Would it have been the same if Bum had called him "homosexualward?" I spect so. It's simply an insult, however ya phrase it.

Just put the "g" word in the filter and get it over with.

I'd be totally gay with that.

I'm with Bordy on this. Any and every word which could possibly denote (I won't say it, but you know....) should be inserted into the filter to protect the unwary from fallin into unforseen traps.
 
...or, how about you just don't call players or posters homosexuals in an insulting fashion (using the word "gay" or other worse epithets)? How about that idea?

Wouldn't help me none, eh, Colton? I'm too stupid to understand what an "insulting fashion" is, as I think some of my prior posts have demonstrated.

Truth be told, I didn't understand what "homophobic" was supposed to mean, from the git-go.

I'm so stupid that I might have thought that the suggestion that callin sumthin "gay" was an "insult" was an example of extreme homophobia. It suggests that there is sumthin "wrong" with bein g*y, don't it? I'm sure I've said it before, but for the record, let me say it one more time:

"Not that there's anything wrong with that....."

this might be an east:west thing...

out here...i would be embarrassed to say 'thats so gay' in public.

but maybe thats how places like utah get the reputations they have...
 
Suspended for "Gayward"? Why couldn't it be the "stupid" definition. Just like "That's so gay" which is acceptable on the board? Then again, maybe it was just a typo. G and H are right next to each other ya know.
