I just was pointed at this thread, you are welcome to your beliefs, however it will not be tolerated degrading other people, man, woman, child or otherwise. If I see this kind of behavor again I will be forced to ban your account. This rule applies to everyone, if there was a female in here degrading men we would have the same standard for them. OGA is NOT a forum for politicics, and will not be used as a soap box, there are plenty of other places on the internet for that.
Debian may have bent to the will of others and that is potentually a valid critisism, there is a discussion that can be had on that topic, respectfully of others however. Saying that debian didnt allow the project due to conflicting beliefs is fine, even calling them on it is fine. What is not fine is insulting them and there beliefs because they conflict with your own, just the same as its not ok for people to insult you for your beliefs.
Honeslty i have no idea why they were removed, there is no reason they should have been that i can see initially. Do you have a link to the page I can check and restore them. I suppose its also possible there was a server issue or something.
If something is removed on OGA we will always give a reason ^.^
Ok this thread degraded quite a bit. First off don't push your political beliefs on OGA, and always be respectful of everyone, even people outside the thread. If you don't want to do that find somewhere else to have this discussion.
That said there is an underlying issue that was brought up here which could be considered valid for a discussion on OGA, while I may or may not agree with it, I will allow the discussion as long as it stays civil. By civil I mean respectful, and that means of everyone, in the thread and otherwise, if they do, or do not agree with your views, be respectful.
@chaosesqueteam I removed the most offensive posts of yours, while the original problem of debian not allowing a package due to the contributors political stances could be considered a valid topic I dont want to see retoric, for or against feminism, full stop. You can have that discussion elsewhere.
While having numerious lisencese or "other" does make it so that more art could be on the site, it does make it -much- harder for us to police the art and make sure that its legal to use.
We try (but dont guarentee) to make it so that all the art on the site is actually legal to use under the liscense provided and we do our best to ensure that so that programmers, artists, etc that use OGA are able to trust art that is on the site.
There is quite a large amount of art that we have unfortunintly had to reject for various reasons over the years (mostly due to unliscensed use of stuff like mario)
Also all work submitted under a liscense should be aviable under that liscense, if it is not please flag a liscense issue so someone can review the problem.
I personaly dont like games where you "see" the story but rather you play through it, now that said a well placed cutscene can do wonders for a game ($^@*% sephiroth leave aeris alone!)
However most games take it way one way or the other, basically you typically end up with a game that is jump and shoot chick, with missles! or you get the cutscene heavy im going to flush out 20 years of metroid games all in one go!
Basically neither is better, the combination is best.
The rule of thumb i usually use is "if I didnt care about the story would i be button mashing" if the answer is yes then rethink your design maby.
he was already basically banned
I know a few people have done compssions before on OGA, I would also check out the irc channel #opengameart on freenode
Also if you have any questions about OGA's "respect others" policy please feel free to ask on IRC.

Long story short respect others.

If you can please remove the "troolface" I can remove the liscense issue.
