Still haven't seen that, suppose I should add it to my list of things to do.
I returnish.

It's so gooooood. It's like crack, but with more boobs and blood.

Try running it as an adiministrator.

I did. I saw it trying to update as soon as I started it normally, ran it in administrator, it's doing an update. I honestly don't understand this. Never had this problem on my laptop.

Does anyone else stockpile dA comment notifications just so they feel remembered? ._.
Still need names (posts one and two, for those who weren't here).
Fun fact: The character codenamed "Dust" is based on a person from this very thread. I'm semi-consulting with them on dA to establish a visual design we can agree on.Whoever figures who "Dust" is based on gets seven Internet cookies.

Dusty Digger. Yes, "Dusty" is a real girl's name. Unless it's a boy, then Dustin Digger.

Also, I wanna guess... Mixup, Ziru, or Valcron.

Does it summon the devil or worse, if it's said or written X times one day, or why is everyone so jumpy when it comes to it?

Because it's a derogatory reference to someone's sexuality, and can be deeply offensive to people who are actually gay or lesbian when a term used to describe them is used in such a negative fashion. It's just not good.

Similar reasoning exists behind why the n-word is not allowed here: because it refers to certain people in a derogatory fashion, that just by being that type (e.g., black, or lesbian in the above example) is a negative thing.

We want to stay away from profanities where it insults the nature of people. Being black or being lesbian isn't inherently negative, don't make it that way by using those labels as profanities.

*not necessarily directed at you, worer, but rather a general question, I just didn't want to quote pend because his post is from +19 hours ago.*

Btw, what I have been wondering for some time: Is there any special native-english-speaker-thing going on with that word?
Because I don't see the hassle with it, if it ain't used to insult someone. I mean people are using all kinds of swears here all the time, but (unless they are rather...unique and "extravagant") they don't get the same treatment this word does.
And, as a non-native-speaker, I don't see the connection there.

I think it has something to do with the word being so direct and used towards someone, whereas if I just say 'fuck', then it's not really at or to someone, but more of a hollow word.

There is this too. That particular f-word, the n-word and the c-word, the three most widely-offensive words, do follow this rule of insulting the nature of the person, rather than just being an empty word like most other profanities.

TL;DR Just don't do it! D:

Your posts are entertaining, Eternal!
no seriously, I enjoy reading them. Don't take it as an insult

I try to inject my moderation with a dose of fun and friendliness.

Then, you should send an email to the support team at support.leagueoflegends.com . Tell them your laptop's brand , model , OS version, anything you think it'll help them find out your problem.
I've never seen such a problem, I don't think I can help you like that =\

No, I never had this problem on my laptop. I DO have this problem on my brand new desktop that I just got finished setting up on... Tuesday, I think.

Dust cloud.
Old Dusty
Dust Hammer
Grey Dust
Gem Dust

"close to one of my nicks" => must have used multiple nicks.
Which means its not zury, not mixxy, not valcron.

Rylai? Enzefik? Zefie/wubcake?

Also should be "usable" with one of the nicks - so should be with someone with a "usable" name perhaps, rather than some weird name.
Hmm...




Edit:
Dusty Hooves <- Kinda like this one
Dusty Mane

So because it's directed at a certain thing when used insultingly it is worse even when it's used w/o any certain context or deeper meaning....

Meh. w/e.

Internet feelings man.

Why would you use it in the first place anyway?
If you want to insult someone, there are much better ways to do that without resorting to the f/n/c words. More effective too.
If you do not want to insult anyone, there is even less reason for you to use it.

On a side note, i completely disagree with how the "swearing" is handled in the society anyway, but thats off the topic.

I don't know that feel

Btw, a bit offtopic. During cau's visit to my place, we had a small art trade going, with both of us doing sketches, then swapping and doing each other's colors.
If people are curious, have a look here:

Idk man, a spin on one of yours from the second post could be Dustbane, since archeologists kind of remove dust but the cutie mark I thought of is just a dragon skull, archeologist specializing in dragons and what not. And my guess at who its based on is Golden Dragon

Usually swearing words are like...sentence enhancements. See the great variety of uses for the word fuck.
I just don't really get how a word can offend someone if it is obviously not used in an insulting or offensive way. :/

Did you get this from Spongebob

Yes.

Let's take the n-word as an example. By using it as an insult, you are saying, "because you are black, you are inherently a bad thing". The c-word: "because you are a woman, you are fit to be used as an insult". Stuff like that. People can't help being who they are. Don't use those words which turn genetic characteristics into tools of hurt. Even if you're not directing it at the person, you're still saying that this attribute which makes them who they are is disgusting.

When you use those words, you're insulting the essence of people.

People can't help being who they are though, and by using it as an insult you're saying they are worthless or disgusting, even if you don't direct it at them. This is different. These are not sentence enhancements.
