I was just about to say the same thing Bella. Posts like THIS is the reason this topic was created. Things like this are rude, unnecessary and need to stop.

This is a spinoff from a DP thread where Portnoyd made the top 20 list of why NA sucks.  Obviously that was a direct jab, indicated by the #21.

But as for sfchakan, that was a poor post after knowing that it is unacceptable here.  I wouldn't be surprised if you get the boot, deservingly so.

I'm sorry to who it was done to, and don't approve of it being done to anyone, for any reason.

Check out this really awesome WTB thread that I found, I heard this guy wants games at the cheapest rate possible!  Now on the look out for Unlicensed NES!

I'd like to see that list...then again, I probably need to be a member at DP to see the thread, and I don't sign up at shittastic sites, so yeah, probably won't see it any time soon

"It's always amazing to me how some of the most worthless games from a gaming perspective tend to fetch outrageous amounts of money. But then again, it could be said that something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I'm curious if the high bidder of the $873.04 Stadium Events (cart-only) realizes that it's nowhere nearly as rare as about 20+ games I can think of that sell for 1/10th that amount?  At any rate, I wanted to draw attention to this trend: if people say it's rare, it must be true, and therefore it must be had at any price."

Hey, since you are so terrific at runnin errands, go yell yer "IRC buddy" that I balled his mother and sister on my pool table, and their vaginas are always welcome here, cause I know me and the fellas love the dirty games on the cheap. These happen to be people I converse with greatly and they are solid folks. Don't be a pud. All that crap said...this could been handled like big people.

You really think that that was an appropriate response for this topic? Honestly? Let's talk more shit about females.

Port posted that video in IRC and I thought it was very true, relevant and fitting for this thread.


Sure, give me the boot, because I was one of the douchewaffles chasing away members. Those people should be shamed and I hope Dain at least "spoke" to them directly about it if he felt so strongly about the issue. They deserve to be named if they're going to be tools.

I was just about to say the same thing Bella. Posts like THIS is the reason this topic was created. Things like this are rude, unnecessary and need to stop.

NO, not at all. The root of the issue discussed in this thread is a bunch of boys acting like they're 12 in an environment where it's not welcome.

But, sure, let's boot the guy who didn't chase away people, instead of dealing with the jackasses in the community who did.

Speaking of alienating people, let's bring back a Pick-A-Dick poll. Great reaction and timing.

You know, I've decided I don't want a damn thing to do with this place at all now. I'm retiring this account, feel free to delete or ban it, it won't matter. Since Sega Age is run by the same management and features so many crossover users, I will also be doing the same there.

I feel like as one of the few females on NA, I should definitely speak up.

I don't think Dain put this thread up to make it a bashing thread. I don't think GameBoyScotty or sfchakan should be banned for either of their comments. sfchakan, I think your video was in very poor taste - however at least it wasn't directed towards an individual person. The whole intention of this thread is to make everyone aware this behaviour is taking place and is inapprapriate and not tolerated. Posting a video which states females are not welcome, although intended as a joke, is offensive, and I'm sure I can speak for most, if not all, of the women here.

I think everyone can agree that there should be stiff consequences for those who repeat this behaviour, and possibly even consequences for the individuals who this thread is referring to. There have been female members who are now uncomfortable going to chat, campout or even the website as a whole, and I don't think that's right.

I hope the individuals who this thread is referring to man up, apologise, face consequences and are this behaviour is no longer repeated.

Dain stated this thread was not to turn into a debate ... it's meant for you to express your thoughts on how the situation should be handled and how sexual harassment should be treated in general going forward. Perhaps we could stay on topic?

dain is being WAY too kind presenting this as a discussion.

the rule should be, if you feel like someone is making comments, sexual or otherwise, to or about you - you should tell them that you're feeling harassed and ASK THEM TO STOP. If it persists, contact a mod. yes, even one comment could be harassment. this is not a mean-spirited community, but letting this happen could have serious consequences for the site!

the reason dain's company acted so quickly and canned those dudes is because they're liable for all sorts of nasty things. even if they've done everything they could, they could still be dragged to court to show they took the right action, they weren't ignoring it, they did all they could for the victim just to prevent paying damages. it's a complete mess. the dude doesn't need to deal with that bullshit on his hobby site, so try to conduct yrselves in a manner befitting 13+ year olds.

sweet jesus, grow up and play some nintendo.

I think this should be added to the Nintendo Age faq and that it should be grounds for immediate removal from Nintendo Age. We only have a handful of women that are on Nintendo Age to begin with and I would hate for it to remain that way as female gamers are just as big into gaming as male gamers. I would also like to add that I've seen some racist remarks in chat as well. There should be a zero tolerance policy for bigotry, sexual harassment, and overly lude or sivious behavior.

I want to keep Nintendo Age fun and enjoyable like everyone else and it saddens and disgusts me at some of the things I hear and see on Nintendo Age that, by the way, isn't remotely game related. I've said it before that I consider Nintendo Age to be a part of my family and when a member of Nintendo Age is singled out and put down, that's nothing more than an immature bully tactic. Immaturity extends to all ages and doesn't end at adulthood. I think that if there were a few bans for very inappropriate behavior it would be a wakeup to the community. At the very least I do believe there should be a suspension of members when they do something wrong and if it happens again then there should be a ban. This will at least give members a second chance to correct their behavior and allow them the opportunity to still be with NA.



I couldn't agree more.


Yeah, I definitely agree in second chances, but it's really a shame that any of this happened at all. After you recognize you've said something that is hurtful to a person, why would you then continue? I just don't understand that. Please treat others as you would have them treat you!

Agreed. Most of us NA girls have pretty tough skin and can tolerate a lot of things said on chat and on the site, in general. But guys, you know where that line is...
