Profile of Rosbone

Why would you even discuss the gender or sexuality of a game dev on a gaming forum/Discord in the first place It has nothing to do with the quality of the game whatsoever

Why did Donald Trump get voted in?
Why are people still trying to get him voted in after anyone he talks to has gone to jail?
Why did a bunch of idiots storm the US Capital on Jan 6th?

Misinformation, confusion, and being dumb.

The ESG argument was made that Coh3 was a failure because of hiring employees based on "inclusion and diversity". Anyone who looked at the LinkedIn page posted by the OP would see employees that support that argument.

I agree 100%, under normal circumstances these employees should never be talked about. In the context of Coh3s failure, the release of 120 employees, the promotion of said employee, and multiple ESG discussions I wanted to show how people could be confused into thinking the ESG argument was valid.

The OPs post links you to a specific person and their picture. Posting two other pictures just saves you a mouse click. All three were on the LinkedIn page already.

I never attacked any individual. I merely showed how it could be confusing. I even stated these people are smarter than I am. At no point did I say they were not good at their jobs.

If I wanted to break the rules I would have shit all over the people who got layed off that we all know were responsible for Coh3 being trash. I would never do that. That is a personal attack. And I would never wish anyone lose their job. I, like about 600 other people, shit posted about the generic Relic Management in hopes they would wake up and get the game going. Not that they would actually lose their jobs.

I will never support the thought that an intelligent conversation should be avoided because a single word or image might trigger some small minded person.

The mistake I made was not thinking of the poor mods that have to try and read thru all this crap to make sure it is a valid discussion. For that mistake I was banned. And I 100% agree with it. I should be banned.


All I am asking for is a clearer reporting system.

Rosbine you are listed as barred for violation of section 1.3 of the site rules

1.3 Defamation of other users

My name is ROSBONE. I am now triggered. You are banned!

See how easy it is? It is a slippery slope. Did I give relic a bunch of shit when they could not even spell my name correctly on the maps in the game? Was I triggered? No, I am an adult.

Van Voort, Thank you for reaching out. I will wait to see how things play out. Initially I was fine with being off Org. But, this policy stuff is something I have been passionate about for a long time so I should stick around. If Org wants to ban me that is fine. But I withdraw my request for now.

And all this from asking if an employee was male or female?

I did not even ask m/f. I just showed that people could be confused. I was confused. I would not feel comfortable saying Mr or Mrs at a first meeting as I would be afraid to offend someone. This confusion supported the ESG conversation that people were hired for reasons other than their skill set and caused the failing of Coh3. Which I do not even believe. But you are not allowed to have an intelligent conversation in this world.


What is hysterical from Relics end is, I was giving the people in question full support and saying they are much smarter than I am and hope they fix the game. So I get banned. I could have been a giant a-hole and got the same exact treatment. So the one time I stick up for Relic, I get banned. Wont happen again.

j/k I could care less. I still hope Coh3 gets fixed up soon for you guys.


The scary part for you guys is the mods at ORG are punishing me because that is what Relic wants. The mods here cant give me a precise reason why I am demoted. They say it is cumulative and direct me to the many posts I made on that male/female topic. Which are not that different from the other posts on that topic. So what do I type in the future that will not get me banned???

Are these other people on the chopping block also? Will they be banned if they say something someone does not want to take the time to read and understand?

That is the real underlying problem. You are not allowed to have a conversation about any topic if someone cant read it and fully understand it in under 5 seconds. They will just scan for trigger words and decide from there.

Org Mods and Relic Community Managers are too busy to read every post here. They scan, see a trigger word, and ban. There is no thought. They will not read your post. They will not see if it has valid arguments or interesting information. And you do not have the right/ability to even defend yourself. What a great world we live in.

Things I suggest:
1) Dont say anything even remotely funny in case it may be taken as offensive by someone with a 2nd grade reading comprehension. The Gestapo are watching.

2) Never make a post over one sentence long. People are too dumb to read and comprehend something that long.

3) Dont use any trigger words. Hide them in some other form. Instead of using R*tard, say Relic Management.

4) Never use your real persona on the web. If I posted here as Cornholio, Relic could not make the connection to ban me. They could only attack me because I used Rosbone here and when I did all those 1000's of hours of free work for them, they have my steam account because that is where they got the maps from.

I have other accounts. I could still play Coh2 if I wanted to. But I am banned. I will sit it out. For how long you ask? Dont know. The Relic Management cant say that in the Coh UI. A caveman wrote it. "You bad...Ughhhh".

5) Anyone of us nobodies can get banned for the simplest infraction. However other members of the community can jump in a persons stream and call someone a foul word and receive no punishment. So know who you are. Are you well liked? Be a dick. Are you not well liked? Dont even post here, go somewhere else.

6) Stop buying games from companies with this attitude. You are the customer. You have all of the power. It will keep getting worse if you keep rewarding them for removing your rights.


The moral of the story is this:
1) I put time in here to help others map and I make goofy posts for people to read if they are bored. I was an Org Blue. And Org told me to go F myself with no reason why.

2) I put in 1000's of hours of free work for Relic. They told me to go F myself with no reason why. They have my steam. They have my account here, I can be PM'd.


When I made that post that got me banned I said to myself:
- This will tell me who has reading comprehension above a 3rd grader.
- This will tell me who my friends are and who are not my friends.
- This will tell me if being a member on Org has any merit.
- This will tell me if Relic cares that I did 1000's of hours of free work to just get snubbed and treated like shit by them.

Questions answered.

EDIT: This discussion has grown very large. Let me clarify my stance: I am banned for good reasons. I do not wish to be unbanned. I would like Relic and Org to add additional info they can pass on to people who are banned.


Last Friday I was banned from Coh2, Coh3, and demoted from Mapper on this website.

I was informed from ORG that my post about some Relic employees was why I got demoted. No details about what exactly is the issue. If I do it again I will get banned from Org. Do what? What is the issue? How can I not do it again? Almost everything I posted was already posted before and after mine. These people were not banned. What exactly is the issue?

I have not contacted Relic, so I have no idea what their problem is.

When I start Coh2, I get a message saying "You are banned for code of conduct".

When I start Coh3, I have a notification such as this (I had to install Coh3 first to see it of course).


So I went to SEGAs support page which reads this:



I do not care about being banned from Coh2 or 3. I do not care about being demoted at Org. I am very concerned with how these people feel they can ban someone for no apparent reason. I have been very vocal about this here for years when people got banned from Coh2.

YOU CANT BAN SOMEONE WITHOUT TELLING THEM WHY AND FOR HOW LONG.

Sega says you can defend yourself, but you cant ask what you are defending yourself from. So how can you defend yourself?

So I am banned for what exactly and for how long? And I should buy more of your products in the future? Why would I?

A person can get banned for some unknown amount of time. They cant ask why? Their ban ends, and they make the same mistake again. This time they may get banned permanently.

HOW CAN YOU FIX YOUR BEHAVIOR IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

Did your parents just randomly beat the crap out of you then leave your room?

I dont know exactly when it happened. But the last two generations of people have ruined this planet. In the halcyon days, the customer was always right. Now we cant even expect the bare minimum of competence. The people in charge are basically retarded when compared to the standards of only 20 years ago.

The Coh3 release was just the latest indicator that the bar has been lowered yet again. Feel free to watch the South Park Human Centipede episode. Maybe then you guys will gain the intelligence to understand why South Park is the most important show ever made. And you will see where you are all headed if you dont wake up and begin demanding better, not less.

No, I don't think this is a good direction. If I could have someone promoted to COH3 leadership, I would beg Quinn Duffy to come back.

Veteran of design work at Relic? Yes.
Worked on previous RTS games? Yes.
Worked on this caliber game? Yes.
Excelled with his past games' (COH1 COH2 AOE4) responsibilities? Probably, at least didn't fail.

Hmmm. Wonder why he left Relic when he did?
