Oh, now I see. Sorry about misunderstanding you Geny. Okay, I'll try that and see how it goes.
Anyone else are of course still free to add suggestions should they think they've something else worthwhile trying.
Also thanks for everyones input regarding the topic and again sorry for the poor judgement on my part. I hope we can forget about it.

despite never directing my joke towards any posters which I am aware dislike this kind of humour. And I suppose just for good measure, those posters as I can remember right now are:
Adrius, Azagal, Binabak, Corribus, Geny, Kiphash, Lexxan, Markur, OmegaDestroyer and Will. I somehow expect Joonas as well, but I don't know for sure.
Troloololol? I can laugh about basically anything that doesnt involve someone getting actually hurt (unless its a video of some idiot faceplanting after a retarded stunt lol) or is in complete bad taste, from my experience the same can be said of most of the people you listed.
In humor timing is everything. And execution is a big part aswell. You are oblivious to everything when you go for your remarks. Not to mention that you are not actually very humerous about it.
Ffs people have given you plenty of chances, many of which you didnt deserve anymore. For some reason they still see fit to give you the benefit of the doubt eventhough your behaviour has not changed. You get the same replies in this thread as you got when the this was brought up the first time. The fact that that doesnt seem to concern you or make sense to you shows how willing you are to be respectful or find a place here. Unless you dont change your behaviour or at the very least start to understand the root of the problem, this will not be the last thread about this problem.
And I do sincerely hope that people will start to come to a conclusion about you to which they should have come to a long time ago.

And if it's so simple, then put yourself in the same situation, but take a trait that you think defines you on HC and then imagine you've some posters you really like that likes the way you post and some posters you don't really communicate a lot with who dislike the way you post, and a few of those will maybe even directly tell it to you, despite them not really have anything to do with the thread, etc.
Well, I never care for a minority, but you are rubbing the core quite the wrong way, really, also, the comment in my thread, I didn't appreciate much (though, I didn't really like how most people seemed to think there was a deeper meaning or how Lexxan thought I really had an uncle) Your comment was about the physical act of rape, though. And there's nothing inherently funny about my pretend-aunt being raped and I think you'd find few people who would think otherwise.
Though, I did joke about rape, too, but my humour was more about the surreality of Scythians bursting in the homes of modern-day Belgians, not about the fact that I thought it was funny that they raped people.

I think when you write how awful my humour is, it kinds of give me the impression that I am correct in not trying to address you when trying to be funny.
About the rest, I'm not interested in hearing your opinion.
@Dagoth
I just tried to give you some fun input based on what you wrote in a thread which seemed to be based on trying to have some fun. If you found my post unwelcome, then I'm sorry. I can delete it if you want.

Adrius, it's not what the thread is about, please don't derail it.
Really? What is this thread about?
May I remind you, this forum is for community feedback, not for social experiments and not to discuss whether rape can be funny.

The OP is your friend.
I believe this to be the correct forum for this thread, as it's community related. If it is the wrong forum, then I'm sorry about that and you're welcome to move it.

I think it's really quite a non-issue, now that I went back and actually looked at the thread (being the diva that I am, I didn't check back when I saw that people thought I was totally for serious or they didn't get it.)
I mean, forf was actually the one who got that I was being absolutely ridiculous and tried to play back and made a reference to... Something (Ben Crosshaw also referenced that joke once, so I know it's from somewhere, but don't know exactly from where) and someone took offence and this spilled out in not exactly the best of ways, but I actually bear no ill will towards the forf now and people shouldn't feel bad for him about that thread anyway. I honestly can't remember where I actually felt really bad when reading one of ohforf's posts, after he got that little slap on the wrist a few yonks back.
That being said, this thread is a bit redundant and more suited for tavern. Tribunal is for actually involving mods and demanding actual change to HC, I reckon, like, say if you want to ban elodin or change the interface of HC.

I didn't even see this thread until just now but it's extremely poor form to post a private message for all to see. It's obvious I posted it. If I send a pm then it's meant for their eyes only. If I wanted to post it on the forum then I bloody well would have. It's not called private message for nothing.
I find it in my best interests (and most likely those involved) if I do send a private message to the person I am disagreeing with. I'd much rather do that and have a potential fall out than to f*** up the forum and piss off a lot of people. By posting this crap on the forum, then you are doing exactly what I didn't want to do. I send them for a specific reason as I'd like to talk to the individual about it rather than make a public spectacle because of the way I act. I've only ever posted one pm here and that was only for a very good reason. Under no other circumstance would I do it again and I'd expect others to give me the same courtesy, if I insult them or not. I wouldn't do it to you so don't do it to me.
There. I had to at least reply considering this crap excuse for a thread was made about me anyway. I'm not going to stop posting pms so hopefully these threads can piss off now. If you don't like what I say then just ignore me. At least I've had my rant and you can just ignore it. I'd much rather get out what I had to say rather than keep it in especially if I really disagree with something. In this case, your rape humour is something I had to mention so I did. Simple really.

I wouldn't do it to you so don't do it to me.
Sure thing. While we're at it, since I wouldn't add adjectives associated with higly negative descriptions directed at a personal level, how about you don't do it to me as well? Or will you once again tell me that you "couldn't care less"?
It's not that I don't understand you want private messages private, otherwise you wouldn't send them as private in the first place. What you seem not to understand is that it's not a privilege you have. It's one that's granted through mutual respect by both the sender and the recipient. Your message to me, which, and this should be really really obvious to you, was not in any way welcome, did not show any sign of this wish for mutual respect.
Btw. you may find it a poor "excuse". Let me be quite clear now, so you hopefully gets it this time around, as it's not like others haven't brought it up before, there is no excuses on my part. I made this thread for the reasons stated, and I did get some useful feedback and a ton of non-topic comments as well.

If I think you're an idiot or you do something that makes you an idiot at the time, I'll say so. What you did with your joking made you look like an idiot. It most certainly did not give you a good look, especially not in my eyes. I am not the first person to have a go at you for your distasteful jokes and I will most certainly not be the last. So yes, I couldn't care less because you acted like a fool with the way you were. I just have a different way of saying you looked that way than most other people.
It's called private messaging for a reason. I never see it as a privilege. I see it as something where I can talk to a person one on one. Talk to them about something that may not be particularly relevant to the forum but will be relevant to the person. If I argue with somebody, and it's a strong argument, I'd much rather it be via private message than in public. I did not want a massive fight on the forum hence why I sent you a pm instead. You have no right to abuse the message I sent to YOU specifically and then make it public. What I said did not warrant you making it public. It's private for a reason. End of story.

Go ahead and silence me, Corribus, but I am sick of making Private Messages and because people don't like them, feel the need to post them in public. It's bulls*** and I most certainly have every right to say something about it. Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have been insulting, but posting somebodies private message in public is not on. If I wanted it public, I would have made it public myself.

Right, and you've made your point. I think you know now whether or not to send Offs private messages.
Now, please, let it rest.

You don't need to repeat yourself. Try to look at it from a positive angle. I learned that making hcm's public is probably not a smart move and you learned that you've no guarantee in what you send as a hcm stays private.
