    Are you a redditor? Would you appreciate it if I said all redditors are Pedos because of r/jailbait (and the fact that an admin actually said the pedophilia was ok) but who cares about that a few of 160 000 did something in a video game that made the developer aware of the glitch. It's in alpha and therefore bugs aren't a priority unless you know' date=' someone makes it a big deal

    I wouldn't associate through my name with a large group of people that I can't account for. So, kind of irrelevant. That seems to be the simple fact eluding you.

    Names are instantly changeable and completely mutable in here. So, it's whatever you want people to associate as YOU. If your name tag is [GameExploits.com] McGee it's reasonable that most would take you at face value, since you chose to associate yourself with a forum community known for exploiting.

    If that site has a sub-forum focused on pottery, it's not very relevant to the perception you *chose* to give to others.

    The difference being that Something Awful is not primarily a gaming site and the 20 or so out of 160 000 who duped don't make up the majority. You can't control what 1 other person does even in a clan of 2 people and there's nothing to stop someone from putting LLJK after their name because theirs no magic check to see if Lowtax or another SA admin has approved they could use it in a video game. Should we have to force all the people who use LLJK who don't glitch to change their tag in other games as well?

    The thing about doing to make the developer aware of it was me saying "in an alpha bugs aren't the priority so if people aren't using it there's no motivation to fix it" not "they only did it to make the devs aware". I guess I wasn't clear.

    There is no "their guilt". LLJK isn't a clan' date=' it's people from the same forum that use a tag to recognize other people from the same forum. There's no organization, no leadership, no-one to "control" what other people from the forum are doing.

    Why should everyone from something awful (A little more than 160.000 people at the time of writing) be held accountable for what a few are doing?[/quote']

    Actively staying in an organization that requires you to signup (and pay) for membership, means you accept that everything any member does, as something you agree with. If they do it, YOU are also responsible.

    The only exception, is when it's publicly denounced via some press release or something alike. Since you have, from what you're saying, no leadership, well...

    For example, if someone pays membership to a news organization that is known to allow some of their reporters to use very illegal and nasty ways of investigation, with lies, slander, spying and whatnot, he actively supports them and is therefore responsible for their behavior from the moment he knows about it to the moment he stops being a member. Exact same thing applies here.

    On top of that, SA is well known for it's...let's say "behavior" over the years and apart from members of the Goons, I have yet to read, see or hear anything from them that is not overall detrimental and destructive to others in games. That reputation (true or false at the start) might however have been luring players with specific behaviors into it, making it truer than ever now.

    I'm not judging, but coming here and saying that the Goons and SA is all nice and fluffy is bullshit in a can. :)

    Haha wow it's a forum not a company or clan

    You are being a retard right here right now therefore every user who ever used this forum is now you

    If you voluntarily associate yourself through name tagging with people that openly post about cheating and exploiting you are condoning the behavior. It's not rocket surgery.

    It's not rocket surgeory that this is a stupid thing to say
