Firstly the fact that people are gonna be put to death for something they cannot control supercedes and rules. And furthermore if it was the wrong section why not just move it to the right place and not lock it. People will die as a result of this legislation. If it is in fact a choice as people claim why would someone choose to do it in the face of death. Gay is not a choice and I feel the actions of this staff put a position that they think being gay is wrong and caring about imminent threats to their well being is futile and stupid. Please consider reopening the thread and moving it to where ever the correct place for it should be. Also why are the bigots not warned when they spout hateful messages which are no different then spouting a racist comment? Just because gay rights is of the current situation does not mean it is any different than when blacks struggled for their rights or when women struggled for their rights. It is in fact worse because gay people do not outwardly show their trait since it is "mental" difference people can claim that it is a choice and not something you are born with. BUT just cause it isn't the color of your skin or the type of equipment you posess in the private regions does not mean it is unchangeable and a part of you. So please reinstate the thread and move it to the right place. I am sorry it was the wrong place I was just caught up in the moment so appalled at reading about people being put to death for who they are.

If I was a admin I would ban your ISP range.
You ignore rules and even common sense.
Intolerance is not the answer, banning me will not make being homophobic correct.
It is appalling to me that I come back home and my thread is locked and I am warned and I can't even respond to the insanely hateful and bigotted comments calling homosexuality wrong and that it is a choice. It is a service to humanity that you are not an admin of this site.
paganjames I guess I can accept being warned even though I feel the issue was important, but to lock the thread and let the bigots win and not move it to the off-topic is so wrong. The thread became infested with bigots when I left and I was not there to defend gays and their rights. It is such an insult that racist comments can result in warnings but homophobic comments don't carry the same punishment. In most countries sexual orientation is protected now under hate crime laws the same as race or gender etc.

And annoying isn't against a rule because being annoying is subjective. I have never done anything to violate a rule except posting my thread to petition uganda in the wrong section. So hate all you want god made me this way and I don't care who hates me

Oh no you did not!
Do not drag homophobia in here.
Your warn/thread-lock has nothing to do with homophobia.
You were warned because it is spam.
Thread was locked because it 100% does not belong in Minecraft beta discussion.
Ah, so violating one rule I should be banned?
And normally I see suggestions in wrong forum and they are moved without being locked. Is it fair to allow bigots and extremists to turn any thread against their beliefs into a flame war purely to ensure it is locked? I think not.

Swilzereta. One question, just one. Did the mod edit say anything at all about the subject matter? Because if it doesn't, which...it doesn't, then you have no reason whatsoever to decide that the warn/lock had ANYTHING to do with letting the "bigots" win. You posted in the wrong section PLUS your thread had NOTHING to do with Minecraft PLUS, as someone in the original thread pointed out, there is an overwhelming majority of teenaged boys who play Minecraft. They don't have the highest reputation for maturity or for accepting other's choices. (Yes, I said choices. I'm attracted to blue things, so I choose to have a blue car. Men who are attracted to men, choose to have men. For whatever reason. I have plenty of homesexual friends who've said this is their reasoning. Now, I'm done with the whole choice/born arguement, and I'm going to ignore any part of your reply that involves it.) As I was saying, this isn't exactly the best place to conquer a government's stupid decision with an internet petition. Even..if...you could...conquer a government's stupid decision with an internet petition. So, if I were a mod, I most likely would also have locked the thread. To stop the flaming. I probably would also have added in my mod edit that anyone who felt the need to go sign the petition should definetly do so, and that the lock was to stop the flaming. I would also have moved it to the off-topic section. (Yes, having locked it, the thread would die pretty quickly, but honestly, with my earlier points of Minecraft forums aren't the place, you would probably get all the support you'd get from here before it did) But what I or you or JoeBlow down the street would have done is irrelevant. Take your warning for breaking a rule and accept the punishment.
Oh, by the by, people want you banned because you take any disagreement with you as a personal attack.
And normally I see suggestions in wrong forum and they are moved without being locked. Is it fair to allow bigots and extremists to turn any thread against their beliefs into a flame war purely to ensure it is locked? I think not.
You weren't banned but simply warned. And locking the thread stopped any form of bigotry from even entering the thread :tongue.gif:

Well I wasn't spamming since I only made one topic in the wrong forum so that doesn't constitute being a spammer.
But to the naysayers it did get the bill stopped so whatever but I do apologize to put it to the wrong section, but I also find it still odd that many people with very hateful speech were able to get away unscathed from a warn themselves.

Sorry, but, yes it does. Spam, in the context of this conversation, is any non-constructive posts. If it makes it MORE difficult to find a thread or a comment about whatever a section's about, it's spam. An off-topic post is spammy, because it contributes to the amount of text without adding to content.
Another type of spam is advertisements. perhaps that's what you were thinking of, but that's not the only kind.
Edit: also, looking through the thread now. I just want to nuke humanity sometimes. Christ, what a depressing lot we all are. Can we really STILL all be that uneducated? I'm going to go through and give some warnings to the more offensive people there, even if I can't warn just for ignorence.
I agree with you in every respect, but this sort of stuff doesn't belong on the MC forums. That's why you were warned.
This is incorrect.
There was nothing inherently wrong with the content of the thread, rather the location. It really belonged in Off-Topic. Also, I'm going to have to agree with Swinger on this one - a lot of the comments in that thread were abysmally appalling.
I hate to bump old topics but I have to ask about the warning meter as well. Does it show up on everyone's screen or does it only show on people's screens who were warned?
I've never had a single warning yet the meter is there on my screen and my account has no notes issued to it.

Everyone has it, and everyone can only see their own. Mods and admin, however, can also see yours, but no normal user can.

a) In the wrong section
:cool.gif: Was going to to cause many-a-flaming
While I wouldn't warn a user for that if I was a mod here, I would've just locked to prevent flaming.
Ah, so violating one rule I should be banned?

Wait, you're posting and you're banned? wtf
No, it doesn't.
Which means you posted the thread in the wrong section on purpose. Most moved threads are obvious accidents.
Future warnings are easy to avoid - follow the rules.
I am, however, repulsed at the homophobic comments on that thread. So much failure.
