  1. If I may respond, my own response is incorrect looking back at it. I had not acquired all the information and had made a reply uneducated to the topic at hand and I apologize for that, it was an incredibly mistake on my behalf. But don't let that discredit what Rose said. Her statement is the most accurate one here, and I recommend you trust and listen to it. Additionally, from what I believe, there haven't been any accusations or threats made so I ask that you take a moment to calm down and look back at this later when things have settled, as this situation has festered and everybody, auth included, have emotions running high. As Rose said, none of this was intended to oppress anybody. I apologize if anything said came off that way. We as members of the auth are also prone to mistakes, and this will and has been one of many. Once again, my apologies for any confusion, offense, or harm brought about by previous statements.
  2. Well, to assume that a simple one-day suspension is going to ruin your life from here on out is a bit of a hasty assumption. I wouldn't think too far into that. Secondly, I will say I've struggled with thoughts of suicide, as have many people. Although I can't say I'd like to recall the situations in which I felt it was a necessary course of action. Just know that suicide is most certainly never an answer to scenarios like this. Being able to get up and prove you can overcome these struggles is incredibly impressive to most people and I believe you're capable of doing it too. No one comes into this world without purpose, and by offing yourself so soon, you're leaving the world without offering what you are obligated to. So here's my approach to it, as is the approach of Tyler Joseph, the lead singer of a band called Twenty Øne Piløts. Make something, whether it be writing something, creating a new word, singing a song, composing a piece of music, sculpting something, creating something that has only significance to you, and don't tell the world about it. Keep it a secret. You are the only one who knows about this, and you are the only one who understands its significance. By ending your life early, no one in the world will ever be able to know its significance, and you will have left the world without offering up the purpose you found in what you created. So every time you think about committing suicide, think back to what you've created, and how it will never be appreciated if you don't live long enough to tell the world.
  3. I'm sorry if the example seemed irrelevant. My overall point was to explain that this isn't exactly a new thing, and the discomfort has been around long before the announcement, and just because it wasn't reported all the time and is just getting attention now, doesn't justify the past actions of it. While I admit it was a bit of a rough example, I was also trying to get the point across that bringing conversation and humor that doesn't involve sexual content is just as easy as simply bringing a pencil to school instead of taking one from a classmate. In the end, all it takes is a little extra effort from one person and both parties can be reasonably satisfied.
  4. In addition to what Ark has said, we'd rather not sacrifice the comfort of most users by allowing this behavior when we can put a tighter leash on the behavior and those who are offended or disturbed by it can feel comfortable once again. While we do also understand that people more prone to this humor may find this change not as appealing, we truly believe that every member here has more to bring to the table in forms of communication and jokes than merely sexual content. To put it in perspective, imagine a situation like in a school. A student is constantly taking pencils from their fellow classmate, and the classmate whose pencils are being taken obviously isn't happy. But because it doesn't seem like a giant problem, the student doesn't speak out. One day the teacher sees the student taking the other's pencil without permission and forbids it. The student who has been taking pencils complains that they've always been doing it and that it's unfair that they suddenly are receiving punishment. Just because it's been done before, and has become habitual, doesn't make it any better to do. The best course of action is for the student to start bringing pencils to class so they don't have to take any from others. The same can be said for this announcement. Member's must simply bring another genre of humor or conversation to the table than just sexual content. And we truly believe every member here is capable of it. I don't think I could look at a single member on the forums and say, "Yeah, this person's only distinguishable quality is how everything they say is sexual." My point is that this action was never 100% beneficial to everyone to begin with, and just because it wasn't recognized before, doesn't mean it was ever any better to begin with.
  5. I'll be honest that I don't 100% know all the information considering the fact that I was not at the meeting when this was decided, but I'm fairly certain it includes jokes involving sexual content at all. While the joke may not offend the feelings of someone it's said to, it doesn't change the fact that for some people, discussion on topics such as that can make them squeamish and uncomfortable. While I don't spend much time on the server, it's commonly understood that main chat is a place for everyone to talk and have fun within reason and within the boundaries of the Community Rules. The topics discussed in main shouldn't be only limited to sexual content, and it doesn't seem fair for behavior that could easily be rule-breaking on the server, to continue in real-time and make other members uncomfortable in lobby. That's the whole reason we have this abyss. We're not restricting you to bottle up every sexual thought or idea in your head. The abyss allows you to release these ideas and thoughts without being a detriment to the members of the lobby who are discomforted by that sort of talk. While it may be inconvenient to move the conversation into the other room, it's more inconvenient for it to continue in lobby chat and disrupt the conversation as well as put other members in an uncomfortable situation. Now to give you sort of an example, let's say the discussion has managed to shift to eroges. If the topic remains clean, perhaps only discussing what you enjoy about the game, or your lack of enjoyment, and no one seems to be complaining, you're in the clear. But if you begin to go into detail about the content of the game and the sexual events occurring, regardless of whether or not a report has been received, there will be reaction from the server mods. I hope I was able to clear this up for some, as it's truly the best I can do despite my absence from the meeting.
  6. Hi there firewidow! Glad to see you're familiar with the game already and that you're joining us here on the forums! On the left, you can find the Community Rules as well as the Reborn Showdown! server. There you can learn about the rules of the community and access the server, a great social outlet for the people of Reborn respectively. If you have any further questions, don't be afraid to ask me or any other mods here. Enjoy your stay!
  7. You're not around to see this I guess but happy birthday Winter!
  8. Happy Birthday Shia! Hope it's a good one!
  9. I don't give a fuck how far behind we are, I will rep this 100% win rate jinx in ranked as long as I possibly can.
  10. A change in hairstyle is so refreshing sometimes

  11. So I might be a little bit obsessed with my new hair right now
  12. Also, additionally for the ult, if you flash correctly, you can pull of something to the same effect as a lee sin insec just without the damage of one person being knocked into another.
  13. I think that's because everyone's expecting it to be some insanely powerful tool to fit his theme, when they're not considering how simple it is. It's either a disengage tool, an extra burst of damage, or the slow can be used to make a pick. It's not something meant to be insanely impactful like a bard ult.
  14. *Spontaneous joyful squealing*

      The world needs more of this.

  15. Considering you went back to 1, I'm pretty sure "sustained" would be a better reply. 2
  16. you know, I'm ashamed to say how I managed to forget how absurdly strong Jinx's two item spike is. My main is back to sleeper op, just like she was before season 5.
  17. Weeks later and I'm still hooked on these mashups
  18. Before someone asks, yes, I was at -3 lp before this match. Most damage to champs boys
  19. Could you possibly post some screenshots because I'm not sure I'm following?
