Well, here we go again; a few days ago a staff member quit because blah blah blah freedom of speech blah blah blah I don’t play the game anymore blah blah blah so F--- the world blah blah blah f--- HG blah blah blah everythingsux okthxbye!
Are you serious?
Freedom of Speech is being able to express your ideas and opinions. Media professionalism, which staff requires, means you have to do that without dropping stuff like the f-bomb, checking your sources, and making sure you know both sides of the story, or at least did you best at trying to (nothing much else you can do when one side says “no comment.”). Yeah, it may be stereotypical for some to say, “but, dropping stuff like the f-bomb is part of popular gaming culture!” But it’s not the culture at HG, and we’re not about to start dropping f-bombs all over our site, so let’s just leave it at that.
Lastly, there’s no obligation for staff to stay staff. If a staffer have stopped playing games for good and want to shed his/her duties at HG, then be responsible and hand off those duties to someone who can take over, and then bid farewell. Don’t be immature and flame out in the forums in spectacular fashion.
