Tell Us Who Got Banned Thread Closed?

Profanity filter. Used a "q" and the end of an "fu." Sort of lame but it's pretty clear cut against the rules, and he had a couple violations in the past for it.
 
I'd be curious if someone reported him. I see people use stuff like that all the time. Just wondering if it's more of a getting reported thing or just whether the 'wrong' mod catches it?

I don't really care, though. As I've said before, I respect the rules and am down with repercussions to breaking them. The selective enforcement (or as it's perceived to be some) can be maddening at times, but I also understand there needs to be things like context, repeat offenses, and the understanding that mods/admin can't police every post.
 
Has gotta hurt though, when 1 mistake pushes you over the edge for a 2 weeks ban.... I wonder if he knew it was gonna be that severe.

My guess is he didn't think he'd get an infraction.. those three letters are used here all the time. Again, I'm not being critical.. just an observation.
 
Not trying to be funny. Srs question.

Can you say F U? Or is that a circumvention? I get what Cy said because it's the same word/sound but spelled differently. Although I see most people use it for fun and not to be intentionally offensive.

Anyway, is what I said above a violation?

All infractions are a result of reports, bar none. Some of the reports come from mods, but I think most of them don't. I don't know about this case.

And I'm not sure what you mean by the "wrong mod", because all infractions require 3 mods to vote for them. No infraction is ever issued just because of a single mod.

Personally, if a poster said "F U" to another poster, I would vote for an infraction based on disrespect (but not based on circumvention).
 
Great question PKM. I think there are lots of versions that we can go over.

How about ?
