The mates talks on the shoutbox are not allowed, but I saw mods who started talking about it..i'm serious..well, I don't want to give names, but I will give you examples:
1) One moderator started to tell how he want to find a gf and everybody old him:"you will find". well, as I understood, it is okay to say: "I want a gf/bf in my life", if you don't stretch it to a big conversation. well, Those two mods stretched it to a big conversation and when I told them to stop, because it is a mate talk they answered it isn't and continued talking about it.

2) Another case of Mates talks was when one moderator said the word sexy on the shout box, and when I tild her to stop ahe answered me it is not a mate talk..so what is it if not a mate talk, ha? :twisted:

Saying that you want a girlfriend/boyfriend is not considered mates talks. Saying the word "sexy" is not considered mates talk, because "sexy" means "nice", "pretty", "hot", "beautiful", etc. From dictionary.com: "excitingly appealing; glamorous: a sexy new car."

Mates talk is when you say you love somebody you don't know in real life.

"Hai! Let's pretend top be wulfs and mate and have kidz!" -.-' This is mates talk.
Mating on the RP shoutboxes, or any other shoutbox is considered mates talks. How can you love somebody you never have met?

In short; mates talk is when someone is actively roleplaying, or saying that he/she loves this guy/girl, when you don't know them in real life. In other words; mates talk is a lot... but saying you want a girlfriend or a boyfriend in real life (yes, in real life) is not mates talk. Nor is saying the word "sexy".

(Sorry for sounding harsh, but we mods gets accused of so much it's beginning to get on my nerves)

Okay, first of all - I don't like the fact that you're "playing mod" by telling them to stop. They KNOW what mate talks are and those examples are nothing close to it.

Mates are boyfriends/girlfriends on Balto Source, and they aren't real. Only a few people actually fall in love with eachother on this site, and the chances of them ever meeting eachother in real life are slim to none.

However, saying you want a boyfriend/girlfriend is not saying you want a "mate", because mates are things that only exist on Balto Source, or other wolf sites. (Although some people call boyfriends/girlfriends "mates" in real life, I don't) That mod had every right to say he wanted a girlfriend, and I have no idea WHAT that has to do with mate talk.

The second example is just ridiculous. How does the word "sexy", in any way shape or form, relate to the word "mate"?

I'd suggest checking http://www.dictionary.com for the definitions of the words.

It's not fair, because when I said once I want a bf (in real, nor from the site) a mod ordered me to stop, but when the mods talking about it, it is okay.. :evil:

Listen; there are some moderators who are pretty green, so I suggest you let it go, already. Saying you want a bf/gf is not mates talks, no matter what people says.

Maybe you should've made it more clear what you ment when you said you wanted a boyfriend, you should've said that you wanted one in real life, and if you did then I'm sure they wouldn't have told you to stop.

Sex and Sexy have two different meanings. If I call someone or something sexy, it doesn't mean that I want to be its ''mate''.

You can call almost anything sexy, from people to cars to clothes.

Quite right.

Actully GK, calling somthing sexy or smexy has got absolotly nothing to do at all with mate talks. Like Outlaw said, sex and sexy are two different things. If I said on the sb "Steele is sexy" It hs got nothing to to with mates talks... Of course Steele can't be my mate, he is an animated char... Same goes for things like "I think *Celebraty* is sexy" Still not mates talks.

Anyway, the mods are there to stop mates talks so apart from saying "No mates talks" I highly doubt that they will suddenly decide to start a mate talk.

I've got a feeling this topic will get locked...

I'm not trying to pay attenion or being smart.. I asked it because one moderator told me not to talk about it on sb, and then I saw moderators who talk about it..It's my right to ask questions when I'm confusued..do you have problem with that?, huh??

Maybe they told you not to mate talk becuase mate talking isn't allowed? And after all the recent posts haven't you relised yet that the thing those mod said had nothing to do with mates talks whatsoever?

No offence, but I find this topic rather pointless, and I see a flame war coming :roll:
