Lol, we take offense too easily nowadays. We try being a bit TOO politically correct =/. In the end I had many people say offensive things to me throughout my life, but you just ignore it and just carry on. I mean really. Did whoever find it suddenly get the brainwave to go dig up the code and incidentally come across it (well depends on their initial motives though*goes to read article again to see if he missed that bit* and no didn't state motives. (will dig further later)). But I mean had they left it alone no one would have known about it =/
But then again it is slightly unethical to pull such a manouvre, but then again as they always say, what they don't know can't hurt them >.>
But ya, I'm sure the hype about something this stupid will be over by tomorrow.
Plus epic vid XD, quite relevant to the topic
Regarding the comment troll spam.
We want to foster a community that shows basic respect towards each other.
While free speech is everyone's right, that does not equate to a right to spew misogynistic bullshit (or racial and defamatory bullshit for that matter) on the front page of MyGaming, just because one can, and one thinks it's a funny joke to do so.
This website draws in many readers and potential community members and imagine arriving to find 4chan-style idiotic troll filth spread around the comments section - it doesn't look good, and there are people who will find it insulting; rightly so.
If the person saying such things actually had the fortitude to attach their real name to the comment and stand by it, then I'd welcome it. As it stands they can hide behind a veil of anonymity. Of course, we are just dealing with trolls doing it for the lulz - to bait a response from people who don't know better than to not respond in kind - so it will be removed.
As the regulars may know, the MyGaming forum also supports the tenets of free speech, and in this community environment when a registered name and established forum persona comes to mean something, and in which real-life friendship are often made, the community quickly self-regulates anyone who thinks they can come in and post garbage.
The fabled 'login to comment' system is coming - heheh - I know I've said that a lot, but trust me, it is. We have just had to deal with the developers being on holiday, but they are back and knuckling down to get it done. We will launch it when everything is guaranteed to run smoothly.
At this stage I can't give an ETA, but it should fall within the vague boundaries of 'soon'.

I posted on the Rage tech specs article something along the lines of "fan girl made a funny. Hope she at-least wrote the article from the kitchen". So there I've claimed it now could you be so kind as to unban my IP? its to much trouble to restart my router or dial a PPOE connection. ThanksRegarding the comment troll spam.

I sense much underwear in a knot over something so trivial ......... And seeing as it stemmed from an incident where someone looked under the hood of a game just to find something offensive, just makes it more trivial. Yes one should not be blatant with racism, sexism, blah blah blah but everyone is guilty of it some time against some one and to get so uptight while shouting from the rooftops "we have freedom of speech/expression here" makes it all the more silly.
I have a friend who is a girl, she calls me a man whore when I comment on a hot girl - should I get upset at her for being so insensitive? I don't think so because to do so would be damn ridiculous. Likewise a gaming site should not come across as being so third reichy.
P.S - I didn't see the comments and I despise anything really shitty towards other people and if there was hardcore stuff, take action, but if the above commenters comment which led to a ban is the extent of it, then lighten the hell up, seriously.

Mephisto, you have obviously not seen the shitfest that the comments sections have become.
People just WANT to be offended.
Maybe they're bored... maybe they're trying to seek some attention.

Whatever, they're still all shit. They really do need to grow up.
