Updating the forum rules.
« on: February 24, 2021, 10:19:38 PM »
I wasn't aware English spelling instead of American spelling would earn you a ban. My apologies.

I noticed that it isn't on the list of forum rules so I suggest we update them so unaware new members don't get banned for using the wrong spelling variations.

In the meantime I will set my spell checker to US English. This should rectify the issue.

I realize you're very new here but I would suggest that you take more time to familiarize yourself with the rules beyond a superficial level.

We have strict rules against racism and adopting another culture's unique variations of spelling is a form of cultural appropriation.

I'm English?

It's your forum I will spell words however you like. This is a strange place.

I'm supposed to take your word for it? A lot of people claiming to be English.

Ok. Like I said it's your website.
The rules are you make the rules.

This seems a bit ridiculous to me. Anyone else agree?

Couldn't forcing someone from another culture to use American English spelling be considered a form of discrimination and/or forced cultural appropriation?

I'm even sure how something like this might be enforced. Who are we to say what culture they identify with? Let alone is it really offensive to add 'u's to your words? I think Eren is deserved an apology.

Allow me to clarify.  Eren is an alt of D1, a known white supremacist who keeps getting banned for advocating, well, very bad things to happen to the Jewish people.

The ban that his alt got was for derailing conversations.  The wording was a bit tongue in cheek but it makes sense in the context of the conversations.  Or it does to me anyways.

I see a bit more of the context now that I'm reading through the thread on the whole Eren vs d1 thing.. I guess if no one else has a problem with it since I don't have context to say otherwise, sorry for jumping the gun.
