New user Kobold Hosamen recently made the following comment in the forum game "Corrupt-A-Wish" thread: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-1023725/corrupt-a-wish#post-2248433

Granted. However, you are so poor and Irish, you cannot afford pants or pockets, rendering your power useless

I wish that I will never have to encounter the Great Mighty Poo at any capacity what-so-ever

Of note is that the original wish to be "corrupted" as per the forum game was "To keep the greed going, I wish that each time I reach into my pocket, I find a valid, legal, U.S. $20 bill." Also, I received a PM from a site user complaining about Kobold's behavior.

With staff consensus in chat, I made a closed staff post and issued an official warning: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-1023725/corrupt-a-wish#post-2248631

Kobold Hosamen, this is offensive and distasteful. We have many Irish readers on the site, and I even received a PM from a site user complaining about your recent behavior. If you make any further posts like this, you will receive a ban from the site. Consider this an official warning.

Furthermore, anyone else posting in this thread should note that any further offensive comments posted here will result in the thread being locked. Staff is alright with having silly things on the site within reason; Thread and many other forum games are currently locked.

Got a PM from another site member:

Hi. I noticed recently that you wrote a closed staff post in response to Kobold Horseman's post in the Corrupt-A-Wish thread (http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-1023725/corrupt-a-wish#post-2248631) about the "poor and Irish" joke. I just wanted to let you know that that particular phrase is a reference to the video game Team Fortress 2, as the phrase is found in the description of one of the cosmetic items. It's become a catchphrase amongst the community for someone without any hats or valuable items. Not sure if that matters, considering the joke is still distasteful nonetheless, but just thought I'd throw that out there.

Even if it was a TF2 reference, it's still offensive, and probably comes off as even more juvenile.

In response to the warning, I realize what I have done, but I would like to say one small thing.

I, myself, have rather strong Irish/Scottish descent. So, basically, I was making fun of myself a bit. I just wanted to state that and apologize.
