please either ban the term: <69 or make the ignore list unlimited space so that I may proceed to ignore EVERY single person in EoS :) ty
>.>

Aww you all are so cute <69

So what's going to happen to the 'Sixty Nines' guild? My favorite guild <69

Nice thread title, it really conveyed what was going to be discussed and I knew immediately what the main topic was as soon as I looked at it.
You could always delete people you haven't seen in awhile...

You weren't here around 4 hours ago. Serious stuff went down on these forums, regarding this topic. Lots of arguing.

Eury locked and graveyarded the thread from all what was going on in it.
But please don't bring these sort of threads to the suggestion forum without a clear title and content. Suggesting a personal filter knights could set up client sided (already client functional - see the filter options) would be a good, neutral suggestion. I would recommend changing your first post to something of that sort, and changing the thread topic to reflect the same.

The definition is in my thread. Please join in there.

See, you corrupted yet another innocent soul there AKD.
By the way Arkode, if you could lock and graveyard this thread yourself you might save GM's the effort so they can continue doing what is their actual job.
You know, keeping these forums in check.
It's what you're trying to do here but you fail so miserably at it, that the people actually doing a fine job at it have to interrupt it to clean up your mess.

So you guys not only target other players, you actually feel happy about it as well? How long will this go on I wonder......

this is the part where i would snap my fingers and go "drat, i've been had!"
except the OP kind of shafts that argument by stating his issue is more with us and not the actual <69, which doesn't even have anything sexual about it like you've claimed countless times but, as i've said to other people who did have the gumption to ask, i just enjoy watching people flounder about with it at this point instead of dislodging the stick from their @*( long enough to ask why we use it

Why do you use it Ret? I've asked already.

Ok then. What Sleepy-Hollows has said.
Why do you use it even when you know it has a disgusting meaning to it?
Quickly answer before this thread gets locked too.

before guild updates, we used it as a way to symbolize we'd never go over 69 members, but then after the guild update we decided to just keep it around for old times' sake and it eventually spread from there outside of the guild, and for those who don't have a history lesson on why we use it, it ends up getting seen as such; and as a result of the aforementioned jumping the gun and blatant lack of research before fingerpointing, i didn't see the need to volunteer the information when it was frankly more enjoyable just watching you all make idiots of yourselves for no reason
at the end of the day, it's not our fault it picked up the double entendre you all gave it, but at this point i kind of like how much it's grown
this must be what a parent feels like
but yeah, that's pretty much it - hence why i also said i'd take the warning/ban for it, because assuming OOO kept logs from that far back of guild development, such as member registrations, removals, additions, promotions/demotions, and the like, they could go verify it themselves
so are we done beating a dead horse for no apparent reason yet, because i'm starting to feel like this is the only apt way of describing what's happening anymore

That is the most lame reason I have heard all day. Ok so now that you know 69 means something sexual will you stop using it?
Do you follow sport? Have you seen the gesture made by a french player in the English Premier League. This situation is in a way similar to that.
If something means something offensive to others. It is respectful to not use it. End of discussion.

Okay so tell me why this is relevant to why 69 should be used in an inappropriate way? So you guys don't use it to mean something vulgar but that doesn't stop others from using it that way. I know it appears as if others may be using 69 as a way to attack EoS, but in all seriousness, despite the origin of 69 it has spread to be something vulgar. As I said in the original thread, how would the issue of 69 itself be brought up without it make it look like EOS was being attacked? I myself am not targeting EoS, so please stop the in game torment.

So people are harassing you in game? Have you not reported it to 000s
You do know what they are doing is cyber bullying?
96>

I guess mostly it was making fun of how we don't approve of 69 by talking about it in the same Haven I was in. I'm assuming it was intentional. I guess the real harassing was someone (I'm assuming someone from EoS because it happened right after the Haven incident) made a knight named Sixtynine-Hollows and mailed me 69 Wicked Idols. Though it shows badly upon their character, I don't consider it cyber bullying.

the wonderful thing here is, this isn't the french premier league. and i'm not going out of my way to intentionally expose you to it any more than you already have been, so as it is it's not even remotely close to enticing hostile responses from anyone. for the most part, we keep it to ourselves outside of the occasional public chat where we're amongst friends. on that note, i think we've ventured far beyond "respectful" given the direction you tend to steer all of your discussions, either by labeling someone's way of thinking as "unreasonable", "lame", or going a bit further and labeling the person themselves as something they're not based solely off of your opinion.
i will not stop using it, and i will not be asking anyone else to stop using it either, either within the guild or outside of it. if you're offended by it because of a label others have attached to it, take it up with the others. if you think our reasoning for using it is lame, then that's on you and your inability to think beyond the scope of your own experiences, which apparently must be pretty chaste considering you're offended enough by two numbers to try and get an entire guild warned/banned just off of the suspicion that we're up to no good.
go enjoy your signposting, best of luck in getting two numbers being censored - in the meantime, my suggestion is to go ahead and add people to your ignore list. it'd save you the trouble of having to find a doctor for the anal obstruction, and it'd save me the headache from the whining over it. and by all means, let me know how it goes.

I would try to discuss this issue but there's no point, everyone's just yelling at each other and the mods will just lock this thread soon anyway.

It is bullying so report it. If you want to make a difference don't allow the bullies to get away with it. We have done nothing wrong. We haven't directly mentioned names yet they continue to make fun of the situation by targeting players.
I'm honestly really confused at the lack of authority in this game. No other game forum I have been to is managed like this.
@ Klipik-Forum neither I nor Sleepy-Hollows has mocked anyone. I bet if we did we would get banned/warned.

Just goes to show how closely you pay attention. I mentioned the English Premier League.
And it's not my opinion of what 69 means. Your own friends have said it has an inappropriate meaning and I have have provided a link to onlineslangdictionary.com to prove 69 has sexual meaning.
I don't interpret the meaning of something into what I want it to mean. I think you should take notes.
Edit: Irrespective of what actions are taken. I am not in the wrong. I think I have made it fully obvious to everyone including 000s that the symbol <69 because of its actual meaning should be banned. Defend it all you want, you are the sinners, associating yourself with such a disgusting image. I find it embarrassing even discussing this topic.

@Arcknightdelta: Although your original intention may not have been directed at a specific group or person, you are taking it down to that now. It's easy to get emotionally involved with it especially with the opposing side has acted in the manner in which they have, but it's still best to try to remain neutral. Plus that only adds to their idiocy if their the only one doing anything direct.

I respond only to the person responding to me. If it is personal it is only with the person I am discussing it with. They are not the same. If they quote me then they are being personal about it to. I can keep directing my posts to thin air. Although I feel as if I am.
Obviously if the person mocking you is the same person using the <69 you have to direct your post towards them.
Honestly I'm completely neutral. All I want is for the symbol to be filtered. Like I said and I stand by this, if people want to sin that's up to them. No1 can say Arcknightdelta was in the wrong also because he never stood up for what was right.
96>

Well that's not really what I meant. More like you are letting your emotions show. It's what they will feed off of if you let them. It's also what you are feeding off of.

my apologies then for confusing the english with the french during my forum browsing - woe is me, i clearly must have no idea what i'm talking about since i confused one fact for another when the discussion point has absolutely no merit to what you tried to use as an example to begin with
like i said, i've no intention of not using <69 in any way, shape, or form at this point based on the last day or so of you constantly belittling those who have differing opinions from your own, nor will that change if it becomes something that becomes a new addendum to the terms of service. you can't preach values of respect and equality while simultaneously attempting to backhand anyone who offers a different mindset than you. and yeah, people have claimed that 69 a sexual reference - where exactly did i say it wasn't? i said that <69 was not, so perhaps you should be the one taking notes at this point.

I'd gladly discuss this in game or on Steam if you would like.

You're confused by the fact that YOU don't have authority.
GM/CM's have shown their authority multiple times today, just not in your advantage.
Why is this number being brought up so often? does it mean something? Let me go google this sixty-nine number.

"FLIPS COMPUTER DESK" MY LIFE HAS CHANGED FOREVER.... ARKODE Y U DO DIS??

After having a cup of tea. I have decided..........I have made a point for all to see, I can't completely respect the reasoning of why some think it is ok to use an online slang abbreviation as a joke, if it means something obscene, others have made a point either for or against my point, I have submitted a wad of emails to 000s enforcing why I think harsher action should be taken, they are in charge of enforcing the rules, I shall not bring this topic up ever again.
I pinky promise
96>

But it's such a fun symbol to use! :(
Let's start a movement to get it added to the list of preset emoticons so I can <69 some slags
<69

I find the # 96 very offensive I mean think about it wow Arcknightdelta you are a very dirty minded player posting horrible links, and now this! You sir have a potty mouth!
<69

/Defend it all you want, you are the sinners,/
Yep. I think that says it all.
AKD, I'm glad you are letting it go, it's for the best. I saw one suggestion from someone, I don't recall whom, but I agree it's a great idea. A forum ignore feature, where you can ignore certain players. Sadly, with Drupal, I don't think that can be done :C
@Rating
I think we should head down and suck some slags into your giant vortex, while i charge up and let loose a giant explosive charge all over those dirty dirty slags <69 FSC?

You know it Perro, I'm ALWAYS down to lure them slags into my shockingly large vortex for you guys to take turns blasting them with your heated charges! <69
#FSC

I agree. That argument 6 hours ago was crazy. I'm happy I didn't get involved. 69 is immature, sick, boring, and perverted. All of you who think it is funny, it isn't.
Unfortunately it's not as simple as that.
There is another way. But I'm currently in talks with 000s about it now.
