It seems like this is not gonna warrant even a small suspension so I have to ask, what does?

What are you talking about? Using masked profanity? Amusing that on a board where profanity openly flows like whine, people get their panties in a wad over self-censored profanity.

Because he didn't actually post the word that we're both assuming that he did. Is that enough to suspend someone? I'm not sure it is. When I first saw that I didn't even catch it until you replied to me asking if the original post was edited. And even then I'm just assuming that was his original intent.

Yes. If you post that word, this comes up. ******

The good news is with his new contract, Taggart won't have to go complete niggard for Christmas. :angel:

I think you're confusing profanity with slur. Difference between fuck that asshole, and fuck that ******
 
Wow, if I say someone is a @#$$@, and you assume because he's black it's the N word, that's your own brain filling in the blank there. I think RipCityDSCLP should be suspended for having such dirty thoughts.
 
There was no **** it was a random collection of shift+number keys. You guys are seriously $#@@$$!

How about asking Sinobas what word he was actually saying and why it needed to be $&#*% instead of typed out?

If the word he says makes sense in the sentence and it warrants all the *%$#& then he shouldn't be suspended but if it doesn't and comes off as convoluted then you should suspend him cause he's lying.

This keeps getting more bizaare. The sentence was "He's a #$@#$" anything could go there.

Well, looks like you were right @dviss1. He's denying it like you said he would.

Okay but there needs to be a set rule before we start banning or suspending people. Something that I can explain to everyone and teach to staff. What exactly would that rule be? If you see characters instead of letters you should assume the worst possible word based on the number of characters posted?

And seriously, I very much appreciate you bring this up to me and this conversation we're having. I just don't feel comfortable suspending or banning people for what something might or could be.

I try to make things as black and white as possible. Just tonight in one of the threads @Strenuus called @SportsAndWhine a son of a bitch. I knew he was kidding and no malice or insult was intended but it did violate the personal insult rule. So I edited the post. Not because @Strenuus did anything wrong but because as some have mentioned on here I can't selectively enforce the personal insult rule. If I were to suspend @Sinobas over the worst I can assume he meant by posting random characters then I would have to make that same assumption about all posts using random characters.

Being perfectly open about this @Sinobas has used the n word before in posts and has been warned by both myself and Denny that this is not acceptable. Because of that I am looking at this very closely and have given it careful consideration. Even using "deductive reasoning" I just don't feel there is enough there to suspend him.

Saying Taggert should fuck off and die isn't malicious or an insult?

Sure it was, but the forum personal insult rule doesn't apply to non-members, so there are no rules preventing people from posting malicious or insulting things about public figures (see every Trump thread in the OT section)--as long as that commentary doesn't cross the line into "hate speech".

The fact that you interpreted the @!#%!& in @Sinobas' post as crossing that line seems unreasonable to me, and seems based more in who he is rather than anything he said about Taggart. Pretty fascist to suggest someone should be disciplined for exercising their right to remain silent (or censored).

You were calling for me to be suspended for what you imagined my masked curse word said. Saying Taggart should f off and die is malicious, but we're allowed to say stuff about sports figures. I don't really want him to die, it's just something mean to say, because he screwed the team over. We only hired him for his recruting, and now we probably won't even get many of those top recruits.

If the 'masked curse word' by me is imagined and not what you intended then enlighten me, what was the actual 'masked curse word' you were thinking of in your mind at the time you were typing that post and why you consciously decided you had to censor yourself?

How very McCarthyist of you. "If you're not a communist, you have a responsibility to prove it to me, despite a complete lack of any evidence to support my accusation!!"

Fine. If he can get away with a technicality and finding a loop hole to the rule and not get any kind of suspension then it applies both ways.

So to you and @Sinobas I say;

(Four letter acronym)(female farm animal)
 
You know @Sinobas and I don't see eye to eye on a lot of things on this forum.
Never really enjoyed his posts either, as he along with others tend to make game threads unreadable.

However I do take his side on this as IMO. Guilty until proven guilty is a bad way to do things.
Not to mention I've been known to mash the keyboard. Due to being unable to think of a specific word which would correctly identify my feelings on something.
Can't really discipline someone for your own preconceived notions. Granted it happens to everyone all the time in the real world.

I'm sorry, and I appreciate your explanation. I think I am fairly tolerant and actually have not agreed with any previous bannings. But if he was warned previously about using N word and then posted something where N word would fit and number of letters were the same, he should be banned now.
