The memers Argument
I have, myself, full confidence that if all staff do their duty, if nothing Is neglected, and if GG becomes a more comedic play, as it were, we shall prove ourselves one again able to defend the right to comedy, to have staff who can take a joke and outgrow the suck ups.
At any rate that is what we are going to try and do. That is the for his Majesty Sonic and his staff. This is the will of the average player and ex ex staff.
The Staff and average player linked together in the cause and their need, will defend to the last perma ban, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their power.
Even though large numbers of ex-banterus staff have fallen to the admins we as the average memer shall not flag or fail.
We shall go to the end, we shall fight until the ban
We shall fight on TeamSpeak and forums
We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength that the strict sonic will change and we will defend this thought to the end whatever the cost may be
We shall fight them on TeamSpeak
We shall fight them on discord
We shall fight them on the forums
We shall fight them to them end
We shall never surrender, and even if, which not for a moment believe, this cause or most of it were failing and unsuccessful, then our once friends I would hope would carry on our struggle, until, in Gods good time, the New GG, with all it power and free will, steps forth to rescue and liberate the old.
In this grave hour, perhaps the most fateful in history, I send to every player both memers and normies, this msg, spoken to you as if you were the same. For the first time a revolt has happened to free GG of the strict rules against memers. Over and over, we have tried to peacefully convert the server to allow memers but it has all been in vain so I must tell u at this time we are at war with all normies.
On 19/08/17 a fellow players forum post was taken down it was a corrupt and un-thoughtful, the day later another was taken down, this for the memeing community is unacceptable so as of now a state of war is between us.
You can imagine what a bitter blow it is to us that all my long struggle to try and keep a state of peace and allow for jokes among us. Yet I cannot believe there is anything more or anything different I could have done that would have been more successful.
Now may God bless you all. May he defend the right to free speech. It is the evil things that we shall be fighting against- brute force, bad faith, injustice, oppression and persecution- and against them I am certain that the right will prevail.
Long live the memers

Racism, sexism and homophobic behaviour is not tolerated, EVER.
Do not disrespect other players.
In your so called meming I have seen you breaking both of these rules.
Racism, sexism and homophobic behaviour is not tolerated, EVER. The memes that are Racist, Sexist, and Homophobic are NOT tolerated. It does not matter that it is a "meme" or a "joke" or that you are "friends and it is okay" not tolerated, EVER. Incase you don't understand it means we never have and never will allow it on the servers.
Do not disrespect other players. Disrespectful words and actions are rude and show a lack of respect. If you want to "dis" someone, be disrespectful towards them. You probably know that respectful things show consideration, kindness, and appreciation. Disrespectful things do the opposite. Swearing at your grandmother is disrespectful. These so called memes are not respectful to other players in any way. It is not taken lightly by other players. It is not "banter"and a "joke" when peoples feelings are in the mix.
We have no problem against allowing memes (an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by Internet users, often with slight variations.) on the server. If you are mature enough, I am sure you have the capacity to choose ones that do not break any of our rules. It is not hard to do. The servers rules are simple and short - meaning even the youngest can understand the intent.
Everyone on our server is mature enough to think and to know how to make friends. We have the capacity to know when other people are being hurt by our actions. The way certain people are online, I would put in the actions of the toddlers (I am talking 2-4 years olds) to be acting. I certainly do not go online to be dealing with Toddlers - I get PAID to do that. I expect to be dealing with children and teenagers who have developed and learned how to behave in society. That does not in any way mean you can act ANY different online just because you are hidden behind a screen.
^ Because making a comment like that adds so much value to the discussion.
Jokes??? The only thing Silent does is bully and harress other players, then says "it was a joke" and expects us to let it slip. He is downright ban evading, insulting players and staff, and doing everything in a grey area as long as we let him. Fun is always allowed but not to the expense of other people, that is just plain rude and goes against anything I stand for. He can try and grow up and make jokes that aren't racist or insults about players...
Lemme just tell you this, picking on people online and then telling it's them to blame is pathetic and if you are that kind of person you should grow up and get a life!
So we can't bully or harass them why was my post taken down it didn't harass or anything else and who have I been bulling exactly?

@ed_that_guy Silent fucked up, you know that, I know that, I've been with you on this from the start because I see the reason you are fighting, but you cannot fight simply because one of your friends fucked up.
@Shewolf Although I respect GG's rules, I feel this has turned into another one of these petty bullshit discord fights that we have all too often, what qualifies as an insult? Where is this line drawn? Where is the difference between banter and disrespect? I see it all too often that rules are pushed because they are not defined well enough and let it be said that in my opinion the rule of disrespecting players is not defined well enough. There is a difference between banter and genuine insults towards players, as I have seen in-game and through Discord, and as such feel that this is a very petty thing, if they are hurting other people they get banned, if they arn't then leave them. This rule needs to be defined better before it was enforced, else you risk this turning into something like our discord server...
@Angi totally agree you, he is acting the complete tool and is ban-evading and expecting to get away with anything that isn't explictly againsed the rules and will do anything to escape punishment and have fun at the expense of others, which is down right wrong.
Now back to the original post, I have to agree with ed on some of the things he said, specifically at the start where he mentions defending the right to comedy and staff that can take jokes, in recent times I have noticed a decline in comedic actions on GG, I cannot point out the reasons for this but its pretty aparent when I come onto Jailbreak and its populated with players, but for some reason there isn't as much giggling and laughing as there used to be and I'm willing to take that risk and say that it MAY be staff that is causing this, I have heard stuff said about the staff that I won't say here for the sake of not getting banned, but in tl;dr its basically down to strictness and sense of humor, for the most part.
However I completely disagree with your fighting and "war" BULLSHIT and strongly believe ed, that you are going about this the wrong way, fighting never solves anything, 99% of the time if it cannot be resolved with a proper conversation, then it cannot be solved at all, that said I'm not even sure if I would trust you to HAVE a proper conversation about this topic, because I have seen you talk before...
Also what some people think is banter is actually really offensive and if you get warned multiple times and still continue, then you obviously know that it isn't banter anymore. I definitely agree that some people should loosen up, but also feel that abusive behaviour should be punished more quickly. Otherwise people will think it is acceptable and continue or worsen their behaviour
@Djharper you're about the only person who does. 1 gold star for you.
Next, I see you on Deathrun with Nora and complaining to her about how bad Gentlemen gamers is now while I and several other guests and members had to listen to you constantly talking nonsense.
Nora had enough and left. Silent and portal joined at some point as well. You and Silent just kept talking and talking and talking NONE STOP on the mic about banter, Jb aids and so on.
I asked politely if you could keep it down or talk elsewhere since you only talked to each other.
I got this response from Silent "Shooting star just kill yourself no one likes you". You left shortly after and Silent kept being a dick I would say. Portal did not do much about this since it was not as "harsh" as when it only was Nora online. After a little time, Portal said that we should keep it down. Including me Shooting star. Everything went cool. Silent and myself stopped after Portal asked us not to. We ended up having a laugh about #TeamPortal after a little while.
But it was not pleasant experience at all to go through all that before we could play in peace. First when an admin says turn it down a notch. That is when Silent started to behave and as said before we had a laugh with #TeamPortal.
As a final. Who is Robotman? Silent kept saying I was him and I should leave GG again and hide in my cave like I used to.
@ed_that_guy have you heard of a phone before? Skype. Differnet Teamspeak? You can even create your own discord for free so don't give me the "couldnt talk anywhere else" nonsens.
