Banning reverse trolls

1- This is awesome

2- I miss the moe forum

Was there a lot of stuff like this in the Moe forum? If there was she's welcome to post whatever she'd like in my forum. Not that you wouldn't be welcome anyway, Moe, just that you'd be extra welcome if you had some more of this.

ah yes, those were good times. My HOT NBA Players thread was one of the BEST!!!!! Fortunately, I have many of those images backed up in other places. Unfortunately, that's about all that's backed up - - though perhaps I have a few of the HALLOWEEN pictures somewhere as well. That was a great thread, and as I recall, Freak, it was dedicated to you

I loved the barfing pumpkin one and the one of the baby dressed up like a stuffed turkey ready to be carved. Good times!

Your Moe Forum can be reclaimed (minus the old posts) if you're so inclined.

Sloanfeld received his fourth infraction for a post made prior to his banishment. This puts him in the penalty box for an additional two weeks.

Is it me or is Sloanfail getting closer and closer to being the resident clown here on the board. I mean, he's getting owned left, right and center.

By virtue of Beantown being relatively quiet lately I do think Sloanfeld is the front running replacement candidate.

Vinyl One seems legitimately upset that he received a one week ban (his third infraction) because, and he assumes here, that a certain compound word, ***load, was not filtered. He is saying, and I tend to believe him here, that it was an honest oversight and that he had no idea it wouldn't be filtered. This wasn't circumventing the filter, this was simply a hole in the system. In any case, that's his stance. While I'm sure the mods don't want to get into the habit of retracting infractions and such, I actually think this particular instance warrants such leniency.

No, the third infraction was for an image he posted in the "post your favorite GIF" thread.

Is he crying hard enough for bubbles to come out his nose?

Dude, he's not quite that tall.

Yeah I was under the impression that if a word is not filtered then it cannot be an infraction. Sentence removed by moderator.

Definition of circumventing, please. Just curious.

Why on earth were you under that impression? It's completely false.

What is true, is that the post will not be issued an infraction for filter avoidance. But for heaven's sake, there are tons of reasons why a post could be infracted for an "appropriate content" violation even if the filter isn't circumvented.

Appropriate Content: Members should remember this board is aimed at a general audience. Posting pornographic or generally offensive text, images, links, etc. will not be tolerated. Excessive or graphic sexual innuendo will not be tolerated. Profanity is typically automatically filtered out; circumventing the automatic filter via e.g. creative misspelling will not be tolerated.

So if you use the s-word in a compound word that doesn't happen to be in the filter... yes, that very well could end up in an infraction. It's YOUR responsibility to make acceptable posts, not OUR responsibility to automatically transform your posts into something that's acceptable.
