I noticed a bunch of restaurant empire 2 on this site, so I was asking a question in chat.

6:58 AM - Col. Jack O'Neill SG-1: is somebody giving away Restaurant Empire 2? a lot of them showed up on steamgifts today

6:59 AM - TenDot11: Fuck off beggar

6:59 AM - TenDot11: Go get a job

6:59 AM - You have been kicked from the chat by chronicdiscord.

It's almost like they were on autopilot and didn't understand the question, later a friend PMed me about the bundlestars bundle being the reason, and I was grateful.

I cannot help but get a little ticked off when I feel there was an abuse of power, but I'm over it now...

Does this website(steamgifts.com) have an official steam group/chat?

Your wording is awkward and could be considered begging. "Is there a sale or a giveaway for Restaurant Empire 2?" would have left less room for interpretation.

Yes, steamgifts does have a group (linked at the bottom of every page) and also a group chat.

This is typical behavior due to the common practice of people entering the chat in search for a handout. It gets bad during the sales and slowly dies out once they end.

The way you came across, grammar wise, was begging. Again, please define the word beg. Also, read the groups "rules".

Not only that, but when you came back, you were incredibly uncivil, putting shift on cruise control, calling me a "FUCKING IDIOT".

Now, I could have simply said "don't beg", but after the 100th person comes in to ask for handouts, it gets rather annoying.

One last thing, parading around like you think justice needs to be served wont help you.

EDIT: This is not directed towards Dopefish, I simply did this to have the comment towards the top.

No matter how many people beg, you (and anyone) don't have the right to treat people like shit. There's no need at all for you to use that wording - but you still feel insulted when you're called a fucking idiot? You sure do sound like one!

You forgot to mention how 'hijacking top comment' is fucking idiotic, and actually ensures that the reply won't show up in the intended recipient's reply feed, and also makes one's comment actually appear at the very bottom for experienced users who are using the plugin with new comments first, never mind getting left behind as the topic expands to new pages. Anyone with any sense will just make their own comment instead of looking like a vain, self-important prat screaming for attention by 'hijacking' someone else's comment.

That wording can only be considered begging if you want to play cop (and jury and executioner), which seems to be a popular game here and elsewhere. In the real world no one would misunderstand the meaning of the sentence.

It's the way you said it that's the issue. It sounds like you're interested in entering a giveaway rather than understanding where all the copies came from. And you have to understand, there are a LOT of beggars on this site, so that's usually the first assumption if you're asking that sort of question.

Steamgifts has it's own group on Steam.

I was told to Fuck off, get a job, and called a beggar, it was incredibly rude and incendiary, it was shocking and I did not expect it, and I fought back. You think my response to being told to fuck off and get a job somehow makes it all better or justified, it does not. Perhaps S.Gifts chat is also not the best place for me. Moderators have a job, an often thankless job, to keep the peace, treat people fairly, ya know, basically not trip over their own ego. I moved on, to the official chat of this channel, and look who is there.
I came here to contribute and be a part of this community, I'm not a rich man but I paid for JC Collection to contribute as a joke about the pricing issue, I've never begged for anything from another mortal. So anyone who wants me to "Fuck off" should take their own advice.

I already admitted on this thread my wording could've been better, but the ongoing actions tell me I'd prefer to not talk to you.

Your entire reasoning is entirely beneath me:

It's not about anyone going on a power trip (lol, mod in a chat that has like 10 regulars, I guess he's not going on the cover of Time magazine once this gets out). You were banned because nobody wanted you there. It's not a civil injustice, it's just keeping the chat in a state that the members want it in. That is without caps and namecalling. I assure you, nobody objected to chronic banning you. Nobody.

That chat is not a trade hub, it's not the official reddit chat (wrong group bro), and it has no affiliation with steamgifts (although a lot of people in it also hang out here). Creating a thread here seeking confirmation from internet people because someone hurt your precious ego points to some serious insecurities.

I mean seriously, this is a chat that has AT MOST 15 people online at any one time. Why do you even care.

It seems that many here already know you're incapable of admitting when you are in the wrong, and this is a very bad and self-serving mindset for a moderator to have. This is the only affirmation I need, there are like-minded people here, it isn't just me.

You're very sarcastic and working hard to fight on your own behalf in this thread, in the future perhaps you will consider the possibility that the problem isn't everyone else, it is you and the "Fuck off" troupe, that handful of people who have not been turned off by your self-serving style.

The "butthurt" comment below by the way was hilarious, it seems you may have more than one chip on your shoulder, bro.

If you take anything from this, I would hope that you realize in the few days I've known about that channel, almost no one ever talks, it has a very small population, and there were more confrontations among people than anyone else... what is even the point of its existence? I would hope that you realize in the future, that there are other human beings out there that just want to network, find friends, get along - and these people are quite capable of being overcome with righteous indignation. :)

I've never understood the whole "lose face" mindset, you were certainly in the wrong to kick me without warning, you don't have to admit it, but doing so makes you a more honorable person. That's really the only thing on the line here, because I will certainly never in my life return there.

It sounds like you need to be more careful with your choice of words. Imagine if people commonly referred to things by your nationality/ethnicity/religion/what-have-you when they disliked them or felt they were of inferior quality. If you extrapolate from that, you'll understand how using 'gay' as a generic insult is genuinely hurtful, and why people get upset about it.

Dude, I WAS wrong, I don't have any problem admitting that it was a poor choice of words, but calling me homophobe because of it? : /

"This is some gay shit right here"
"I wasn't being insensitive, I was just calling it something not to my taste by referring to it as homosexual!"

You're pretty convincing.

"If you refer to a black person as "black", does that make you racist?"

No, but if you described something that sucked as being "black", suggesting that to be black is somehow second-rate, I would consider you a racist (or at the very least, supremely ignorant).

They are all Latin based. All of my languages are from different lingual families.

Finnish is ugric, Swedish is North Germanic/Nordic and English is West Germanic with Latin influences. I also understand Norwegian and Danish because I speak fluent Swedish (it's actually my native language but I'm perfectly fluent in Finnish, too).

Also was in Trivia blathering this homophobic slur, which is not a recipe for a good time, there are extra moderators in chat during Trivia.

Unless it's very tongue in cheek I will assume the liberty of interpreting it in the worst possible connotation, it amuses me greatly and serves a purpose for people who are actually sensitive.
Not everyone has spent as many days on the internet and become desensitised to everything, though I agree that public media and a major part of the public is too quick to jump on the case and call it racist/homophobic.

Also, the main point is:

a community of this size has to be majorly moderated, people come from different backgrounds and have to be respected

I can understand that, but using "gay" as a synonym to "stupid" has become so commonplace that I wouldn't think many people would be offended by it. I, of course, wouldn't know, since I'm not gay and I'm not really offended by anything anyways but that's what I would guess.

Then try imagine yourself something like this. I see u're from US, so let's imagine that for whatever reason dudebros and other kiddo idiots start using "american", "murican" etc as synonyhm to "retarded". Someones umps in and comment your post "lol dude, ur post it tatallu murican!". Even if you get the context (like in case we're discussing here I don't think anyone understood that OP was saying that Orcs are homosexual ;P) it doesn't mean that you will not feel offended as someone uses your nationality as an offensive adjective.

Well like I said before, I'm not really offended by anything really, so I realize that I'm not the best judge of how offensive something really is. Anyways, who says I like America? :P

I'm sorry for being a part of this hating thread, if an admin thinks it's best to delete my post, go for it, this is turning out to be way more problematic than it should be.

And, I'm sorry if I offended any gay person, it wasn't my intention to do so.

It is, especially on the more niche boards where most people are literate and not throwing slurs around. The downside is, you're going to have to lurk a long time before knowing the place well enough to post in it.

He's just damnedably confused is all, the MASSIVE Reddit giveaway group, which has no association to either groups previously discussed, has a rule of, "when an activity is ongoing, only those actively part of the activity can be within games and talking so their names are green, otherwise, fucking shut up or get out of your games." They kick people from chat for breaking the rule.

Well, I think your original question was misunderstood, it looks like "Beg beg, can somebody please give me a free game" instead of "I would like to purchase a copy, where are these coming from?" People make mistakes...

But for future reference, swearing at people and insulting them, even if they were wrong, even if "they started it" doesn't lead them to say "Ahh, I made a mistake, I have seen the light, please forgive me for kicking you!" but rather "Yep, gone."

We do but flatter ourselves, if we hope ever to be governed without an arbitrary power. :)

It's just bad wording. He didn't come into chat saying "Can someone give me a copy of Resto Empire 2 plz"; he was just asking if someone in general was giving them away to the public as he saw many on SG.

I don't think he was expecting someone from chat to give him the game, but rather the source of the free/cheap copies.

While this is speculation; I do know that I would not have told him to "fuck off and get a job" and insta-kicked him.

The correct response from anyone with moderation duties would have been to tell him calmly and politely "please don't beg for games"; where he would have then stated that he was not looking for a handout but simply the source of the free/cheap games. You get what you dish out - tell someone to "fuck off" for asking a question and expect a retaliation. I know I would never grant mod powers to anyone with such an itchy trigger finger just looking for an excuse to power trip.

Threads don't go away here, ones from a year or more ago are still around, though if you want an easy bookmark, you could make a giveaway with a link to this thread, maybe a private one no one ever enters to make it easy to spot.
