As for the Graveyard, signups, post-game, etc, elements that to not affect the game-state directly, bad behavior will earn the offender a bad reputation, and as such it will be up to the mods as well as everyone else that will host a game whether or not they can participate in their future games. If it's a question if something needs immediate attention, then the game mod should have final say.
Empirical evidence shows that no game mods ever bar a person from playing in either the optimistic belief that their game will be treated different or the naive assumption that no player would ruin their game. Or indifference, I guess. This lack of action on the game mods' behalf must be rectified then if you find it an objectionable thing to better police the Mafia Environment and punish offenders based on the judgement of a presiding Moderator rather than the Mafia Runner.
Running into a graveyard full of rage and insult when you were feeling pretty good about your play can only potentially weigh you down
When you feel you played a bad game, I doubt you want others to affirm it by calling you a gigantic, incompetent moron who they don't know what the fuck he's smoking. Just because you're thick skinned doesn't mean others need to be.
In Popcorn Mafia IHNN and LSD found it important to state that I was "the most useless confirmed Townie ever". This adds nothing whatsoever and is designed only to attack someone and bring them down. People make mistakes, and people have games where what they think is the best play does not match what you think is the best play. There is no reason to attack them over that, and this behaviour must be curb stomped.
And (although that frequently happens) that does not necessarily mean you think you'd do better were you in his position.
By calling someone a retard you are heavily implying you'd do better than him. After all, a retard calling someone a retard would be hypocritical, and it kinda weakens the insult.
"Goddamn you couldn't see Huh What Scum, you fucking retards. I mean I thought he was Town too but GODDAMN you guys couldn't even see it! How stupid can you be?"
Haha. Yeah, no. If you thought that it was reasonable for them to be fooled by the same acts you were you wouldn't call them a retard.
All this touchiness about a bunch of letters written by people you've never met is pretty strange.
"It's the internet so insults magically mean less." Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. The medium through which insults are delivered does not take away from insults. That you hardly know the people is a flimsy excuse as we have established rapport with almost everyone here, and for newcomers they usually want a community to accept them, not to call them raving idiots whose heads are up their goddamn arses for not spotting the fucking obvious scums you mental retards.
Whatever happened to brutal honesty. :/
Society still considers it an undesirable trait when delivered to people who aren't your friends.
