View Full Version : Public announcment concerning people's choice of nicknames
Myself and other staff members have noticed people registering using obscene/vulgar nicknames.
Since profanity is not allowed here, such nicknames are not tolerated. If you register using profane nicknames, that nickname will be permanently banned from the site. The only way you will be allowed back is if you re-register using a non-offensive nickname.
Repeat offenders will be dealt with harshly. Thank you for cooperating in keeping CMGSCCC a family-friendly community.

Bound to happen eventually I guess, duder. Good thing yawl tellin potential members about it. My original handle was the female body part that rhymed with "Mulva", but I scrapped it cause it was dang yucky, and I like "pizza dude" better. heheh.
PS: I got an idea, dudes. Maybe instead of this sticky, you could place a small, bold-lettered message like this at the lower top of the index page:
Forum Content Rating: PG-13
Keep it clean, dudes.
This may catch on with other boards, too. Then I'll know what I waidin into before I start waidin. You know?
PPS: Personally, I'd like CMGSCCC Forum to be PG only. But that just Pizza Dude.

It's PG Mostly,
What do you think of the idea though, duder? It would let dudes/dudettes know as soon as the page loads that this is an Age 13-friendly site. At a few other forums I have visited, I often have to register, and look through sometimes several threads to actually find or get a quote from a moderator that says how green they are there. That blows, you know? Others may feel the same, if they care about the ratings.
If anything, this kinda message below the title of the page'll always be there to remind people to keep it clean, or go someplace else cause you aint welcome here unless you a good dude.

I personally think having to register for something I buy is just pathetic, You don't need my name and email address, and it just means I wont be buying any other products from this company
Oh wow. It takes all of 3 minutes to register. If you don't like it, go buy a competitor's product and not waste our time.

I dunno know spanish, so here is the translation for the ppl who want to know what bluevue talking about. Like me :)
http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr, translate that into:
"it is worth to me nor cereo that knows espaniol.. or if?"
Strange translation, maybe that sentence isn't spanish, others ppl feel free to correct that.
Okay, now back to the topic, i think profanity musn't the only reason to restrict a nickname, all type of nickname that against the 'good' ethics also have to be restricted.

What I said has been a standing reply to everyone who feels like complaining about the way things are done here. Been that way for the 7 years I've been here and the only way that'll change is if CM tells me otherwise.

No more questions, people. When these guys put out their rules, it's permanent and final. Now hush about before this whole thing turns into a series of stupid questions. Now, I'm not backing these guys up, and I'm not speaking for them... but really, do we need more pointless complaining and arguement about this crap? It's done, sealed, final, and over with. Neo, might want to close the thread already.
No, I do actually, but I don't t;hink the situation is serious enough to warrant a closing. There will be no overturning our decisions unless CM or Tab does it. Until that time comes, we will continue to make the rules in a manor that we feel will uphold order here at CMGSCCC.

Yeah bud, I guess an internetworked messages board is different from a commercial establishment in the world. And I figure if you been treatin every dissatisfied dude who visits here like that, for as long as you say, you must have earned alotta trust and respect from your seniors at CMGSCCC. Either that, or they just sore afraid of ya like Pizza Dude is. heheh. Who knows huh? Later!

Registering is not so bad, I'm not sure why people complain...It's not as if other companies don't ask the same thing. You want support for your device? Register it...at lest the mods don't send you spam mail about new stuff you could care less about, nor do they sell your info to other companies like say... *cough MICROSOFT cough* does... :p I may get flamed for this, but I think Neo was well within his rights to say what he did...this isn't a department store, the customer is not always right...(I know, way off topic, sorry dudes) As for the vulger names, good idea, but man I been away too long....if I recall, we never really had that problem a few months ago...

There are two problems with this. One, you didn't HAVE to register for this site for 7 years, this is a new rule. Nobody can tell me I didn't view the codes less then a year ago without an account here (Hence my post count). Be that as it may, I have no problem with it. I created a Yahoo account I never use for things of this nature. However, another problem is that the box said nothing of this when I purchased my Codebreaker, and that was a long while back. But again, it doesn't really matter as there are free ways to obtain an email address.
But you are right, the customer isn't always right. But the customer should be satisfied with their purchase. And not telling people about a key feature, function, or even terms of service before they buy it (Located on the box) is bad business. Then again, I feel that not releasing codes for a game (Which includes limiting/delaying them) just because it goes online is stupid. This has no relation to "Hot Coffee" and GTA. This has to do with the Socom series, and some other games. Sony, along with Microsoft and the big N (Which has as many online titles as I have hundred dollar bills in my pocket) have means to prevent cheating online (DNAS, Game Moderators, etc.). So to sum it up, on the back of the box, and located somewhere in this website should be two key statements, which are:
"To obtain codes via the internet (Non-preloaded codes), you must register with http://www.cmgsccc.com and agree to the TOS of such."
"We do not endorse online cheating, and being as such we will either limit the codes created for games with this capability, or release none at all."
Again, I have a semi-warped view, but I feel it is the correct one in any case. Realize that as time goes by, more and more games go online. In probably around 10 years or so (Possibly even within the PS3/XBOX 360's lifetime), the majority of games will have the ability to be played online, and codes will be limited to an extreme extent, hindering this market. We all know the reasons for cheating. You can use it just to cheat, to get past a hard part, to enhance your gameplay experience, or my reason, as a means of extending my games life. Remember, the customer has nothing to be thankful for, they bought the product. But I will thank you for the codes, and at least keeping the site I must register for a clean one.
I fail to see what that little rant of yours has anything to do with the topic at hand.
Neo

First, how about your apparent disregard for customer satisfaction? Second, it wasn't a "little rant"...it is just my opinion. Ranting is done when you want to complain, I commented. Second, what it has to do with it is I commented on reandn's statement, and the replies toward that. The additional information wasn't really needed, but included just as my opinion, to possibly show you my outlook overall. It was semi off-topic, but conversation has a way of getting off-topic, and as many rules as you may want to enforce, it is impossible to stop this. Such as my saying it is weird I even came back to check this because I am not into the forum scene outside of making some suggestions for the main site, or asking a question or two.
Disregarding what I said about what codes should be released, it still stands to reason that readnd is correct, and registering is useless as you stated in a FAQ that an inactive account is subject to dismissal (Being erased). And if I have no intention of chatting on this board (I believe it said 5 posts total, and 1 per month, but I am not sure) I will have to create another account just to view codes. And there is no further support you will receive, because if I am in need of support I will then register. Until then, I don't need it. But again, I will state I really don't care how this goes, it is still nice to know the board will remain as close to PG/PG-13 as it can, seeing as I apparently have to be here.
PS: Some of you might want to jump on the moderator's and admin's unmentionables, but the bottom line is he is right, and many people (Again, disregarding kiss ups) will agree, along with me. I just don't care as much, so it doesn't bother me.

Alright, the registering to view the codes came AFTER the devices you are purchasing was printed. You don't know this because you wasnt around, but how can something be printed on a box after it's done left the printers? It creates a much stronger system of code support, that you'll probably be glad is in place if you ever encounter a PS2 code problem and need it resolved. It's not something that requires you to give blood or sign over your soul to use, just a few letters and a mouse click away and you're done.

I think Haro just wanted the minimum 5 posts cause thats what I did when I got my 1st name... but I like the fact that you have to register but I dont like the new system, it used to be you want a code you click on the game then it shows the code and now it's click the game then click another button saying view codes... the no vulger names thing I like because (i said in an earlier post that was deleated) if i were a parent i wouldnt want to see my child seeing that stuff...
i dont spell the right way all the time but.....
you wasnt? done left? hmm....
maybe a parental lock on the games rated over teen too would be cool...
yahoo uses the same proceedure using the date of birth as a verification to see the profiles marked as an adult...

Sorry to post here so late. I never come here. If you still wanna know what bluevue said, it was:
"I don't care if you know spanish... or should I?"
That was my conclusion, he had some misspellings, so I think he's learning spanish or he just doesn't go to school.
About the nicks, that should not be allowed and I'm glad you are doing this. I remember that guy, mamameloelpene (from the times when the shoutbox was up and running, what a times, *nostalgic thoughts cross through my mind*), that means in spanish "s*ck my d*ck". And worse yet, when I saw in the "today's birthdays" section a guy called S*ck My D*ck (long time ago too). We have to get rid of all this obscene names, and we're making it. keep up the great work, Mods!

God, this reminds me of the olden days, back when we were rivals of those GS dudes. Why was that, oh yeah, it was because they wanted to prove they were better then us code wise. It lasted for a little while, but then CMX took over and brought the two of us together. As you can see, no more rivalry. Sorry for getting off topic.
Anyways, I'm glad that you finally set your foot down and are now staring to punish people for using those sick usernames. Happy days to all.

That's right, but some of them keep re-registering and re-re-registering and so on. That needs some drastic measures.
Drastic measures are simple: They'll keep being superbanned.

Won't you ever get tired of that?
Bann this one, bann him again, bann again, bann once more, give it another bann, did I really mention I banned him?, why was it that I banned him?, guess I'll bann him, banned again for re-registering, no matter which user name you choose you'll be banned, and sooooooooooooooooo on. Banning the same person over and over again, even more than 10 times a day must be utterly annoying, isn't it?
It does get boring, unfortunately, there's not a whole helluva lot I can do. If there was a way to censor nicknames, we would've done that long ago.

Whenever someone is either desperate for attention or simply need a good spanking.......they will re-register at a board after being perma-banned..and they will keep re-registering for a few days...but every time I have seen this happen...they do get bored from doing it and finally leave for good.....the only thing to do is keep banning them until the urge to re-reguster gets out of their system....
