Riekopo Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 It seems like you can now download RGB Share profiles directly from CUE2 which is really awesome. Is it possible to also upload profiles to RGB Share directly from CUE2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazykid Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 All profiles that are uploaded go through me, to give an example why, i once saw someone use a bear smoking a joint as the image for his profile.

Comet 1626864951 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 About krazykid Biography 17 Year old doing his own :wtfman: Well, most companies want an adult image, prohibiting pornography, profanity, and excessively graphic violence, so it makes sense to check images for appropriateness. :rant: I feel that as the Merriam-Webster definition defines "Corsair" as ::pirate:: pirate, that you should reconsider being overly puritanical as to censor a bear enjoying a handrolled cigarette, as Corsair (the company) uses piratical imagery without condoning piracy or violence; the company is pro-gamer (although the high-quality gear is also excellent for non-gaming usage). Now you call it a "joint", but note that even so, it is not something that is universally prohibitted, and some people fight to use it for medical purposes--show some compassion, please. :shootme: http://www.druglibrary.org/olsen/MEDICAL/YOUNG/young1.html DEA Chief Administrative Law Judge Francis L.

Inheritance Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 A bad image to Corsair by allowing inappropriate images to be shown on their software even though it is user created content. I mean, it's only a joint. And yes, it's an illegal substance in some parts of the US and world. But it's 2017, it can't hurt to be a little open minded. What if the creator lives in Amsterdam? Its legal there. It's legal in California. Also would uploading a pic of a cig be ok? Because those will actually kill you... :sigh!: A clear and concise guide line should be published.

It was not a real bear, it was a photoshopped bear with super red eyes and smoke flying out, and the background was 420 written all over lol. I mean i did post a "Joint" profile onto the share site, it was a joint that burns across the keyboard. Here it is: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=158158. By the way, the guy who uploaded that bear smoking a joint had absolutely nothing to do with his profile. It was not even a 420 or Rasta related profile.

Corsair Employee Corsair James Posted January 25, 2017 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hi all, Krazykid is assisting us with approval of profiles and we have entrusted him with discretion to approve and to decline submissions based on any included information including images and descriptions. However, if you felt that your profile was unfairly declined, you're welcome to PM me anytime for an official review. Now as for the debate with marijuana, while I understand many points, a Corsair website should not be the place to post things unrelated to the topic or to the product. Since we have people of all ages visiting, we shouldn't have bears smoking as visualization since its unrelated to the topic. It's not something we should be showing to all ages similar to how you wouldn't want a bottle of Prozac as an image (which is also legal and aids in many medicinal purposes). Also, to correct a previously stated comment, we are a pirate SHIP, not a pirate itself. We do poke fun at pirate themes but overall, a pirate is not our logo and piracy is not what we represent. All imagery must give the Corsair brand a premium image and also appropriate for anyone visiting our page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comet 1626864951 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 :bsflag: Also, to correct a previously stated comment, we are a pirate SHIP, not a pirate itself. We do poke fun at pirate themes but overall, a pirate is not our logo and piracy is not what we represent. I appreciate your clarifying comments. I did not think the company repreesents "piracy". Do note, however, that on my own K95 RGB I have an older logo, a pair of crossed cutlasses of the sort used to kill and maim people, and not a pirate ship. Apart from logo symbolism, looking at the word "Corsair" itself, note that it is defined as pirate. I figured that the ship (and formerly cutlasses) were metonomical references to "pirate" (aka Corsair). CORSAIR fans from around the world have used our RGB software to create stunning profile artwork for CORSAIR RGB peripherals. Consider me stunned. DO IT WITH THE LIGHTS ON SERIOUS SKILL DOESN'T HIDE IN THE DARK Seems like the company isn't averse to innuendo; this tag is as connected to technology as somebody liking to game while having a relaxing smoke, and chooses to share their creative profile artwork. Now apart from the etymology of the word "Corsair", I never thought that Corsair stood for piracy. About Corsair Gaming Over Corsair’s twenty-year history in the PC business, the company has pushed for innovation even when others said it couldn’t be done, gaining the trust of gamers building their dream PCs. Corsair Gaming now brings Corsair’s legacy of technical prowess and high performance to PC gaming peripherals. Forged from a commitment between engineers and gamers, Corsair Gaming is driven by a philosophy of uncompromising performance, style, and comfort. I do, however, expect that Corsair Gaming follow the philosophy of uncompromising performance, style, and comfort, so if a a person chooses to express their creativity using their own personal style, why would Corsair compromise it when it is neither illegal nor immoral. It is inconsistent to allow a letter "S" CUE profile artwork that is irrelevant and then claim that banning another on the basis of irrelevancy, rather than a person's (not company's) standpoint may find it potentially offensive, rather than as expressing support for Corsair's ideals of allowing uncompromising style.

Keep kids in mind, I don't think parents would be happy if they saw a bear smoking pot. Corsair went back to the sails logo.. Corsair is also an airplane and not just defined as a pirate. Pirates are a lot less likely to come into mind of a 10-year-old than a bear smoking pot. Why take the risk of approving a profile with an image like that when he can easily make it more appropriate in general? Also what about Razer, don't they represent a possible weapon? I fail to see your argument with the names of companies and a medical herb. The bear smoking pot can influence younger kids to think its moral to go around smoking joints all day thinking they are cool, not even for medical purpouse , which is a topic in society now a days.

Comet 1626864951 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hey, I think you are doing a fine job, and I APPRECIATE your work, and I do not disagree that you MUST do what you think of as right, and it is great that CorsairJames supports you. Note that my issue is 1) objections should not be arbitrary, and 2) ideally, IMHO, no objects to legal content. Now, being that you have been "told to decline said methods of imagery to keep it all age friendly", (not that smoking is unfriendly to any age; take a look at history), perhaps you could simply document the exact rules, or is it just a general guideline where you are supposed to think, based on your own experience and judgement, Hmmm... "is this age friendly?" I think that is probably the case, but it is not a professionally supportive directive of the kind to which Corsair aspires! (I think the current terms-of-use indicate that the area is only suitable for people over 12, anyway, so don't have tgo worry about corrupting the innocent so much....) I do hope that my previous posts lead to the action that Corsair's legal people post a standard disclaimer on user-contributed content (UCC) so that there will 1) not be censorship based on arbitrary judgement, and 2) the gamers who want to post feel that Corsair values their style and time, and 3) any readers/viewers will see explicitly that the UCC does not necessarily represent the viewpoints of Corsair. It seems silly to me that somebody would attribute to Corsair some UCC's implicit message, so one has to defensively prevent this, when many companies simply speak with their marketting and legal staff to allow for UCC to represent the style of the person who contributes the content.

Shame on your hypocritical behavior! :nutkick: Show some empathy and imagine how you would feel if you were NOT the gatekeeper, and somebody else blocked your submission on the grounds that a joint burning across the keyboard is not an image endorsed by Corsair as it doesn't represent corporate policy, and that some parents might be offended.... :laughcry: If you do this exercise, you may begin to see why censorship is a real issue, that is worthy of passionate debate.
