View Full Version : Apology About Immature Posts


Matt Holme

As the person in charge here at Soccer Gaming, I was abolutely embarrassed and ashamed when I came to read all the immature threads that were posted here about gays.

Its not that I have anything against people who are gay, it isnt even the gay topic that made me ashamed, it is the fact that these topics were being run by our mods and had the maturity level of a 5 year old. They are the type of conversations I can remember having when I was in the first grade.

We want to attract new and interesting people to these forums, and posting immature topics that look like they're being started by 5 year olds is certainly not going to attract the type of visitors we want.

So to anyone who was pissed off with all the stupid "gay threads" please rest assured they won't turn up again, and if they do, our mods will get rid of them.

It all took off after Hugo made a quite humorous post replying to Gareth's somewhat less amusing post. It did go too far...but don't crucify anyone over it..

Sorry for the one I started. Won't happen again, even though it had nothing to do with gays.

And you missed one http://www.soccergaming.tv/showthread.php?s=&threadid=45226

Take those kind of topics elsewhere if you feel so strongly about wanting to talk about them, just don't post them on these forums thanks.

And of course I won't crucify anyone over it... it is no big deal.

What have you got against gays? Why did you delete the topics! I think he has something against the gays!

*HERE HERE*
Aye, the mods say anything about gays being bad?
*NAY*
Indeed sire! We only claimed that certain people were gay.
*AYE*
In fact, for those of you unfamiliar with American English "gay" is slang for anything that is "stupid."
*AHOY*

:jambo:

I figured this thread would come sooner or later. Just checking up on old Matt anyway. Took him about four-five days. Yea, so delete the Homosexuals are Gay and the Lesbians are Communist! FREEDOM of speech. Damn, this is gay. :kader:

Yes, so we could discuss guidelines involving "Signature Text" if you'd really like. But, I'd just say be reasonable--4-5 lines of text at the most.

Well, that's a little short, mine was a little longer than that for a while, but yeah, even if you post a one word post, it takes up the whole screen.

It's buttkissing cause you didn't do/say anything against those threads until the forum owner made a PUBLIC statement about how he was ashamed of us mods who stood behind this.....and the fact that you use the word "gay" to describe the threads that were made, shows that you probably never even read how Matt wrote that the use of that word in THAT SENSE is childish and shameful... :rolleyes: :kader: :monkey:

What Dragan and Matt are saying is that you should try using the term "sexually-impaired" instead of gay.

I think that Matt just wanted all those threads that had the word GAY in the title stopped, although I believe that most people didn't take in offence to it and found it a lil funny it was still IMMATURE :rolleyes: and CHILDISH :rolleyes: :jambo:

If all they wanted was for us to use the word "sexually-impaired" then I am sure that it would be ok for us to start up some new threads.

How about:

Doctors are "sexually-impaired"
Girls are "sexually-impaired"
We are all "sexually-impaired"
etc..........

See what I mean?

All they wanted was for every to stop the "GAY" threads. :D

well mate, how about some expression eh??

It would have sounded a bit better maybe like this:

"I think they are trying to get us to use the word "sexually impared" instead of gay :D"

I mean, who honestly thought u were being sarcastic except yourself??

Completely agree with Matt. I came back from holiday and saw something like 5 of these gay threads. I read a few and they weren't really offending gay people but I was thinking what they were for. One is ok, but 5 is a bit pathetic if you ask me.

I'm just gonna say one thing in this thread.

I agree with matt. Although, half of the time it is not the members who commit these offences. Some moderators are instigating them in certain ways, and then arguing that other people start arguments in the forums.

I dont have to mention any particular name. You know who you are.:f***: :$

And you know what? I am expecting an argumentative response, because, I know that one particular mod just wouldn't be able to help himself.

So ban me if you may, but you know I am right. And if you do, it would just show that you's can't handle the truth. I dont care if the administration goes "gasp, batman", because I dont *** lick like some of you's and I don't backflip on my statements.

Regards,
Lui

the reason why your expecting an argumentative response is because probably trying to start an argument with someone, maybe u cant help yourself?:confused:

I think everyone should just ignore this post because it is only trying to start an argument if you cannot see already.

I also think that this thread should be closed because a lot more immature things are starting to happen. What do you guys think?
