MOG May 2, 2006 Share MOG Member May 2, 2006 I just would like to know how "Morbidly Obese Girlscout" is offensive to anyone who would be playing CS? Pretty sure we have no actual girlscouts who would be playing. Thats all, simple question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX May 2, 2006 Share NOFX Member May 2, 2006 My Great Great Grandmother Edna was a girlscout as a kid and then became a leader, she always had a weight problem and one day in Late June she passed away from eating 40 boxes of girlscout cookies.

MOG May 2, 2006 Author Share MOG Member May 2, 2006 Seriosly, don't you think political correctness has gone a bit too far when you are banning for a name that you can't honestly say is offensive to anyone. Bad taste? maybe. But not offensive. People have merged the two into one category it seams. It's like banning someone for the name "Jerkface" Could it be offensive to someone with a face? If you take it waaaaay to the extreme, i suppose so. the world isn't all puppies and bunnies. If you protect your children from the real world they will not be prepared for it when they get there and they will fail at life. I RL people make bad jokes, they poke fun, they laugh. I don't know what else to say i guess. I understand the rules, but man, there's much more offensive stuff to worry about than the name "Morbidly Obese Girlscout" I mean really, have you been on the internet?

stutters May 2, 2006 Share stutters GC Alumni May 2, 2006 maybe that's not why you were banned. maybe it was. but if you're here to get the ban lifted, we need more info. if you're here just to complain, we don't want any girl scout cookies.

stutters May 2, 2006 Share stutters GC Alumni May 2, 2006 I didnt actually get banned, just got threatened.kudos for coming to the forum to discuss instead of making a scene ingame. nice touch personally, i don't find your name alone to be offensive or warrant a change. but i also wasn't there. it's entirely possible the admin saw something else you said or did and the name put it over the top, or maybe he was just busy cleaning the rest of the server and you were just part of that process. either way, thanks for not throwing a fit ingame. if it comes up again in the future, take note of the admins name and send him a private message through the forums and see if he can fill you in.
