Victory Long Cylindrical Tower!

16 Day 896, 14:20 Japan
I was informed that today, one of Japan's candidates for President, TheReverendSeanV, has been temporarily banned because he referred to erecting a Victory "Long Cylindrical Tower" in South Korea following the Japanese annexation of the territory. The continued arbitrary nature of the admins astounds me. "Long Cylindrical Objects" is an entirely accurate noun to use for what TheReverendSeanV was referring to. To illustrate, allow me to show you a real building in Korea.


Juche Tower, Pyongyang

Looks like a "Long Cylindrical Tower" to me! Heck, its even shooting fire out the tip, just like other "Long Cylindrical Towers" I know.

To summarize, whoever reported Sean for saying Victory Phallus, you can add me to your hit list.

I've never had an issue with worshipping the Victory Phallus until now. Whoever is out to get me, good job.

C'mon, if he truly said &quot;phallus&quot; then he is guilty. There is no definition other than of the male reproductive organ, and the way it was used could be construed as offensive. To be banned is far too harsh, and is fail, but some people have their pet-peeves about what is acceptable.

While I doubt that TRSV has ever sent up an Admin ticket reporting an article, there are lots of his supporters who send up admin tickets incessantly until some admin inappropriately takes action. It would be nice if the Admin instituted a &quot;admin ticket&quot; count visible on citizen profiles so we could see who these people are and call them out for their bad behavior.

Yes, because punishing someone for filing tickets is the right thing to do.

Better not report that multi, or people will know you filed a ticket and shun you.


Do you bother to think these things through before posting them?

KITA incessantly sending tickets to the admin is what got Kevlin banned and our Bank back. Unless you consider those inappropriate actions as well? The issue here is inconsistency and corruption in the community mod system, not your personal grievances about people reporting Peter McGoon.

i'm sorry, but if one of the most prominent catchphrases of this game is &quot;fuck yeah dio brando&quot;, then it's acceptable to say the word penis/phallus. if you can't handle tolerate those words, then maybe you should logoff the internet or report yourself for being under the age of 13.

Aogo, TRSV, and Drago all sound like people annoyed at being reported to the Admin for various reasons. The only reports I have ever sent up were about multis and pre-emptive reports of my own articles informing Admin that there would probably be a number of nuisance tickets being sent up attempting to deny free speech (heh you guys wouldn't know about those, would you?). Those are appropriate admin tickets.

Nothing in my articles has ever been written without proof or otherwise violated any eRep rule, and reporting them otherwise just the usual eNorth Korea/City Party tactic that didn't serve you very well in the past.

&quot;Yes, because punishing someone for filing tickets is the right thing to do. Better not report that multi, or people will know you filed a ticket and shun you.&quot;

I assume you're being sarcastic here, but that's not the intent of publicizing who is sending up all the admin tickets... Not surprised FoH still holds onto the &quot;oh no! no one should know what we're doing!&quot; secrecy-style of politics.
