Question on ban announcements

[Dawood Ahmad]

That's because your name sounds like a microwave oven.

The microwave oven I have was manufactured in england.

You need to get yourself one of these boys. Functional with a hint of luxury.

And if he needs somewhere to put it if he visits CC he'll encounter a range of kitchen suppliers

Kiwiviktor has been banned for seven days for using a discriminatory slur to insult another member.

What did he say? What did he say?

 

[Daemon]

What did he say? What did he say?

Sociopaths, autists and virgins. Which definitely covers 99% of this site.

No, but I think there's a kernel of truth to them both which makes them funny. Do you think both statements are completely wrong?

Autists, sociopaths, and maybe virgins are known for taking everything really literally and not seeing the humour in anything. That's why the Internet is full of them. Hence the kernel of truth in my posts.

[Lillian Thomson]

Has to be more to it than that. It specifies "discriminatory slur to insult another member." So who was the member? No one who posts on this forum strikes me as likely to be a virgin.

 

[Daemon]

Haha, so good from LT

 

[Howe_zat]

I must pinch someone somewhere.

This could be considered assault.

 

[the big bambino]

with friendly, if potentially misunderstood, intent.

 

[grecian]

Apparently an Exeter fan was um pinched, for pinching a WPC's bum at the Exeter-Plymouth match.

There's a fine line between daring and stupid I find.

Ignoring (and continuing to ignore) moderator instructions. Everyone was warned to cut out the silly insult-fest and he posted another insult. That post was deleted and he was given an infraction. He then decided to post the same thing again, and copped another infraction which led to his ban.

This is inaccurate and I request that this be edited. Thank you.

 

[Furball]

Fusion infracted you? It all makes sense now.

Still haven't got a clarification on this.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Also what did Daemon do?

 

[cnerd123]

Also what did Daemon do?

Insult weldone and Pratters too much.

They report every single slight against them.

Still haven't got a clarification on this.

What is it that is wrong with it?

Edit: Having just read the whole thing again, Fusion's explanation looks bang on to me.

 

[Pratters]

I hardly ever report any thing.

I disagree that what I posted was an insult.

The thread was about eggs and I worded my post very carefully. It said

I don't like well done and neither do most people

Plainly, this referred to eggs of the well done variety. I even took care to not spell it like the poster weldone.

So no, not an insult.

Also, barely a few days after getting banned for "not following moderator instructions and continual disobedience" and apparently 'insulting' weldone, Pews posted this in reference to weldone:

> taking only semi-serious posts way too seriously

Now, don't get me wrong, I laughed my ass off, and it was an awesome post. But this just tells me that it's ok to insult other members and stir **** up, but once a mod comes in and states the bleeding obvious (ie) don't insult anyone, then even the mildest of comments will be infracted. I get the logic, but it's also rather stupid.

You know in football they will extend the ban for spurious appeals?

but once a mod comes in and states the bleeding obvious (ie) don't insult anyone, then even the mildest of comments will be infracted.

Enforcement in upholding the rules shocker!
