hello i am engineer player
took a break last season, played like 4 or 5 seasons of advanced/invite before that and I’m in the mood for “team fortress 2” once again

GGGGGGGGG help yall better own

1. old forums were for highlander only, these forums are intended to include 6s and PL as well (just acting as a central hub for discussion about competitive more or less)
2. old forums ran on ridiculously old software, these are newer, more resilient and way easier to use (esp. with regards to admin tooling)
3. new forums are way cleaner overall, a lot more features that will make stuff easier, and because the forums are trying to grow in scope they’ll help a lot

and like markers said yeah it’s nice to have something more modern if we care about growing the scene

GGGG NKB that was one of the closest matches ive played in a while

the issue at hand here has literally nothing to do with free speech. imo there’s just no reason to moderate/make decisions based on private discussions because
a) logistically, there’s going to be a lot of shit to sift through
b) there’s going to be a lot of shit to sift through because this is ultimately a culture problem within the TF2 community, partly propelled by a relatively small amount of problem users

@Papaya said in Addressing Racism/Anti-LGBTQ Speech on Off-Platform Media:

@cyclowns But you also have to remember that the actions refrenced in the original post would disproportionately affect the high level players in RGL, which the surveys do not take into account.

would they? open players definitely still say le funny words. besides, you can just filter the surveys by adv/challenger/invite so it doesn’t really matter

@Kastaling said in Addressing Racism/Anti-LGBTQ Speech on Off-Platform Media:

@cyclowns I agree with this. Let’s put it to a vote. See how many people would actually support such an overreach like policing private discords. I guarantee the amount of people supporting this would get pummeled by the amount of people voting “no”.

sure, after discussion in the forums, which is the whole point of this thread

Then maybe afterwards we can have a vote to relax slur restrictions. After all, they are just words.

tf2 players be like

if you say some stupid shit that a group of people don’t like they are under no obligation to associate with you or give you a platform for said stupid shit

there should literally be no argument about free speech here. you do not have a human right to participate in a TF2 league. being barred from the league does not “silence your free speech” it just means you have to go elsewhere to voice it. Jesus Christ

@Papaya contrary to popular belief RGL is not a totalitarian Orwellian 1984 police state government. it’s a tf2 league

cant believe RGL is being influenced so heavily by the Big Bliztank lobby

@Savageness06 this is a Looking for Team post, not a Looking for Players post–go to that subforum if you’re trying to find a team to play on and don’t spam random peoples’ LFTs

king, great player/alien, great teammate
