This might not be completely related and before I get onto the main discussion at hand I want to clarify that what I’m doing isn’t a report. It’s merely raising awareness since I deem such absolutely necessary and have for a while.Snip
Will wait to comment on anything else but calling people goons or just saying goons isn't a anything report worthy, that's such a common term and isn't even something inherently bad.The other issue I have with Chariot is how he would often use the term “goons” I am already aware Chariot hasn’t been using the term ever 2025. I mean it when I say that I am glad because as far as I know and everyone else knows, “goon(s)” has never had any positive connotations.
Grow thicker skin? I don’t think that’s fair to say at all. You do realise some people are just sensitive right? As adults which I believe most people are including myself I think it’s a very valuable life skill to be emotionally smart. Being or attempting to be emotionally smart requires and revolves knowing whenever your comments are seen as too much or too little depending on the situation you’re in. In this situation it really has nothing to do with me having to grow a pair or other said users who bothered by “goons” having to grow a pair. It’s rereading your comment even if it’s consisting in multiple times and knowing whenever to conduct yourself in a nicer manner. I’m aware emotional control can be difficult but it’s something that’s still possible within everyone. Plus I’m not talking about other people I’m talking about Chariot. Also no, goons has never had any real positive connotations. Can I actually see a certified definition showing it’s synonymous to referencing others as supporters or just people? Because I’m seriously not convinced
Type in goons on the seach bar on this very forum and see how common it is to say
I’d urge you to please reread what I said. I’m not holding Chariot FULLY accountable. I quite clearly said it wasn’t addressed in earlier reports which is why I’m mentioning it now. Not ONLY does Chariot call others goons which you know by now it has some spiteful intent in that very same comment which isn’t okay regardless of one’s mood. I repeat I already KNOW which is why I mentioned what you just mentioned in my report. I’m not clueless.Why are we still talking about the goon stuff like it’s a point against him? We had the exact same discussion about it last year.
My defense?@Chariot190
What say you in your defense?
That's not all Chariot is being reported for.I'll say it
Grow thicker skin
Why are people being reported for addressing people as goons?
Respectfully, how does being right about a situation equate to a free ticket to behave however you want?Like legit some of this is valid but half is just being upset and Chariot's more blunt and matter of fact demeanor rather than anything actually report worthy, he's not necessarily wrong to be calling out some of the stuff he is or holding people to certain standards with the information on profiles or people doing sneaky or ratty stuff etc. Etc. In some of these cases where people aren't doing things properly.
The goons bit tho...just nuke that whole bit![]()
And I haven't in months because Agnaa said people didn't like it, and because people used their words, I stopped saying it?I’d urge you to please reread what I said. I’m not holding Chariot FULLY accountable. I quite clearly said it wasn’t addressed in earlier reports which is why I’m mentioning it now.

Getting upset over spite matches and ratty behavior while also being valid in claims and calling out actual wrongs I think isn't the worst thing?Respectfully, how does being right about a situation equate to a free ticket to behave however you want?
Evidently you kinda are, you gotta prove he was being spiteful when saying a word that he has said hundreds if not thousands of times in all forms of contexts and scenarios. It’s a part of his go-to vocabulary, and he’s said before he uses it interchangeably with something along the lines of “bro”. If people have a problem with it, say it to him, otherwise he’ll continue to do so, as he said above. Also he’s stopped saying it as of late, so it’s ultimately just digging up shit from months ago that he’s changed.I’d urge you to please reread what I said. I’m not holding Chariot FULLY accountable.

Minor is one way to put it if you’re ignoring all the times it was used, sure. We probably hold different reasoning and definitions butI don't think calling people things is good in general. As insults go though, goon is pretty minor.
Just FYI, goons/gooners have 100% been used to refer to supporters with positive connotations in the real world, not just powerscaling. Supporters of one of the biggest sports club in the world are literally called 'gooners'.Also no, goons has never had any real positive connotations. Can I actually see a certified definition showing it’s synonymous to referencing others as supporters or just people? Because I’m seriously not convinced
It sets a bad precedent where people feel justified in acting anyway they please purely because they belief site rules have been broken. Sure, you can be upset about it, but it creates a system where behavior is validated based on who was right and wrong in any given situation. Is someone right every time they assume a rule has been broken or they assume the intent of any one individual?Getting upset over spite matches and ratty behavior while also being valid in claims and calling out actual wrongs I think isn't the worst thing?
Like yeah if people are doing bad things purposely then its kinda normal to be upset at those things so I'm not sure how else ya want to go about that, you could complain that it was said nicely but why should the same respect be given to someone who is already doing wrong actively and openly?
Sure yet you fail to mention how the others who even are at fault to begin with should be just as guilty here in that case then too for even prompting this and leading this on to begin with. No point in holding double standards since you're seemingly giving a pass to those who did do wrong because Chariot wasn't nice about calling out thier wrong?It sets a bad precedent where people feel justified in acting anyway they please purely because they belief site rules have been broken.

In principle, I find it unproductive behavior to be allowed, especially from a nonstaff member.
Gooners? I’m not sure we’re on the right page here. The only time I’ve seen Gooners being used is in a way I’d rather not cite but I’m sure we both share an idea of what I’m speaking about. These are one of those things where it’s very selective I guess you could say depending on what part of Social Media you used. I’ll be very honest I’ve never seen Goons or Gooners being used in that way but I’ll drop this since it seems to be going nowhere. I’ve also been corrected so there’s that, thanks to everyone who corrected me.Just FYI, goons/gooners have 100% been used to refer to supporters with positive connotations in the real world, not just powerscaling.

I know that this point has been beaten to death now, but I feel like that is worth mentioning.
Respectfully, I did no such thing.Sure yet you fail to mention how the others who even are at fault to begin with should be just as guilty here in that case then too for even prompting this and leading this on to begin with.

I'd be more inclined to hear you out if your goal here wasn't so obviously to put sole blame and focus on one person instead of the whole who were in the wrong to begin with
Welp its a good thing I never said one thing justifies the other, I said getting upset over what he got upset over isn't the worst thing given the context behind it. Obviously some warnings have to be dished out but I never claimed it should be open season or that those who are at fault are allowed to be treated any kind of unfitting way. So if we can both agree there then that point can be dropped since neither of us said otherwisenever excused anyone breaking any rules. I pointed out the flaws in the logic of 'oh they violated our standards that means its open season'. Yes, those breaking rules shouldn't be breaking rules, I never said otherwise.
Again, respectfully, this is exactly what I am talking about with assuming and applying motive and doing so incorrectly. I never justified people breaking rules or people making clear spite threads, but I did point out the flaws in being gung ho with such accusations and using that to justify any following aggression.
A violation in the rules doesn't justify another violation in the rules
The original post was me pointing out a specifc weak aspect that was brought up as a side however my first sentence was that I'll wait to give my full thoughts or give a full comment until later so I can't comment on the focus shifting to that specifically for anyone else but regardless I'd say since there are faults on all sides here all parties should be getting reprimanded instead of a hunt for the one person who is responding to any instigations in the first placeAnd give how quick the focus was put on the 'goon' thing, and how there has been a continuation avoidance of discussing what you admitted to be valid complaints, I don't think it particularly matters what is being brought up, it's all just a witch hunt against a specific user rather than multiple people bringing up examples of aggressive unproductive behavior.
Fair enough.Welp its a good thing I never said one thing justifies the other, I said getting upset over what he got upset over isn't the worst thing given the context behind it.

It wasn't used as a insult tho...I don't think calling people things is good in general. As insults go though, goon is pretty minor.
Awareness of a done and solved issue? Kind of feels like poisoning the well.This might not be completely related and before I get onto the main discussion at hand I want to clarify that what I’m doing isn’t a report. It’s merely raising awareness since I deem such absolutely necessary and have for a while.
"You didn't reply or argue it"
Well no chat is also just slang, like general talking to the room.What makes this transparently worse is that Chariot made it clear he wasn’t just referring to @LordDestroit10K, but the entirety of those in favour with the CRT as he says “chat.” Not only is it extremely unneeded and undoubtedly rude it’s rude to everyone else showing favoured engagement towards the CRT.
Lad this ain't even about me whatamon stuff
This ain't even about me, but also nothing he did was wrong either?amon stuff again
I legit don't think I said goons toward someone in like 6+ months, and if I have it's legit just a accident because I use it in normal discussion on discord with the boys. Regardless, you're trying to report me for something was acknowledged, solved, and hasn't happened since? That's not "making awareness", it's trying to get me for the something that doesn't even happen anymore and was "fixed".goon slop
Can you actually stop complaining about something that I haven't even done in ages because it was mentioned in a report already and people opted to use their words instead of just getting mad at it?Gooners?
Minor is one way to put it if you’re ignoring all the times it was used, sure.
Alright, so this is a prime example of missing the forest for the trees or this Sonic meme. No, the word itself being used by itself doesn't mean much. There are plenty of equally dumb or edgy terms that are acceptable or at least tolerable. But at the moment the report has been derailed because someone adjacent to the poster said a thing.Ig i should be reported for how much I say goons too?
"hey dude, stop making match ups and then admitting to on purpose setting it up so a specific outcome is forced and then doubling down on it, that's sus". Like it is idk what ya'll want me to say.
To be blunt with you, if the only possible way to get your point across is by being an asshole, then just don't write it. There's no gun being forced at your head to tell another user that they're bad at doing something. If you truly cannot help how you write, then sometimes it's better for you to legitimately not write it. Or at the very least, write it and edit it down to be less abrasive. It's really not that hard.Pointing out someone else is breaking rules and doing suspect behavior though or something I haven't done in like half a year because people simply asked nicely? Idk what ya'll want me to say to that.
He apologized.As it stands the only real report worthy thing here imo is the yap at Lacku, which I apologize for, that was mean, of course it was in response to vandalization and something I personally spent a ludicrous amount of time on so I got a bit heated in the moment but, yeah sorry for that. Pointing out someone else is breaking rules and doing suspect behavior though or something I haven't done in like half a year because people simply asked nicely? Idk what ya'll want me to say to that.
This seems to be relevant to this report and something that should be elaborated upon.of course I'm going to call it out when they on record stated they fish for specific match outcomes for fun and make threads specifically to force a specific outcomes, I simply can't trust them anymore on that regard. Kind of shot that down themselves.
Well, you're being accused of something. Being a defendant doesn't mean guilt is assumed.My defense?
I did not want to comment to avoid clogging the discussion, but I feel i have to directly address this point because I feel it's a bad point.warning should be sufficient given past instances of similar behavior,
Wasn't the last ban regarding the same behavior about 10 months ago? I feel like the gap is considerable enough to be lenient here, unless, of course, I missed something.A warning is if this is a new issue or if there was a sufficient gap between notable incidents, not the same thing being repeated within a year of their last ban.
The gap is decently large for what they were banned for and indicative of better behavior if Chariot has not been warned between their ban and this incident.Wasn't the last ban regarding the same behavior about 10 months ago? I feel like the gap is considerable enough to be lenient here, unless, of course, I missed something
I see. Initially I wasn't going for a official warning, but rather an unofficial one to tell him to tone it down, assuming it was a one time thing done in the heat of the moment, especially since he realized his mistake and apologized. However, once I saw that he had been banned for similar behavior in the past, but since it was a considerable time ago, I opted for something more lenient than before, yet more significant than just a slap on the wrist. But yeah, I could have worded my previous post better to reflect my full opinion.The gap is decently large for what they were banned for and indicative of better behavior if Chariot has not been warned between their ban and this incident.
To clarify my previous point, it was not about Chariot having a continous issue, as I do not know if they got into anything between the ban and now. My comment was solely about how that section your argument didn't work.
It seems like TWILIGHT-OP has already deleted their comment, and Shadowslash125 pretty efficiently explained to them why it was out of pocket even though it was probably intended as a joke.reporting this
