He knows that South Park isn’t a documentary, right?
Down with dinosaur hall! how dare they use my tax dollar like that! I want it spent on bigger guns!
That’s it young man. You’re in a time out!
You are all a bunch of meanies.
Of course creationism isn’t in the same league as those things! Their parents taught it to them, and their parents before them, and so on back to God. You’re not calling *God *a liar, are you? *That’s *what *I’d *call ignorant!
That was my thought, along with how many previous warnings the post had gotten.
This is my favorite line from the site so far.
"Do an experiment: take a rubber ball and suspend it above a bathtub full of water. Now slowly move the ball closer to the water. Does the level of the water change? Not even slightly. So much for the tides myth. "
That’s nothing, I once got a warning on a different forum for ‘enjoying rape culture’.
My offense? Someone said ‘[video game boss attack] will rape your face’ and instead of jumping on the hate bandwagon, I said I could take it at face value as someone using it as a euphemism for ‘[video game attack] will kick your ass’ instead of ‘[video game attack] will specifically sexually assault your face’.
Be careful, kushiel, or you’ll get a warning for enjoying violence culture. “Kick your ass,” indeed. Hmph.

I got banned once, well suspended, from a forum after someone said the US should just nuke Palestine. I called him a twat and got banned for the personal attack. He didn’t get banned for advocating genocide.
Some moderators are weird.
I really did want to keep it anonymous, but I know you’ll enjoy this little nugget about the first warning I got from the same comm.
They were talking about the Noblegarden WoW event where you have to put bunny ears on a female of each race. I was in Org to try and grab the Horde races, but was having trouble. So I posted in the discussion “It’s like Garrosh commanded ‘hide yo’ kids, hide yo’ wife, they be rapin’ everybody up in here!”'.
Yes, I got a warning for that, when the entire discussion was about a quest where you fetishize women as Playboy bunnies.
I got banned from a porn site for telling the mods off politely.
One day, I went to find some new material and Firefox went berserk, saying I was visiting a KNOWN ATTACK SITE OMG YOUR COMPUTER HAS AIDS!
I checked the forums carefully. I checked all the usual places where one would find an announcement about security software tripping. I looked at responses from mods to other posters who were expressing concerns. The mod responses were basically, “here’s our year-old thread about general security threats. You’re stupid and you’re banned for asking.”
I decided to give them a lecture on communication. Instead of dropping the ban-hammer on every single user this was affecting, why not simply update the security threats thread to say day/month/year- we are having issues that affect Firefox? Like take five seconds out of your day to let people know you’re aware of the problem and they will stop bugging you constantly!
So of course, one of the mods writes a very long screed telling me how stupid I am and how he’s not going to hold my hand in the wilderness of the internet and how they get attacked too often to post about it every time… and then the son of a bitch bans me.
Soon after that, hackers destroyed the site altogether and it isn’t coming back. Good riddance. If you’re a mod at a porn site you’ve got nothing to complain about except your aching balls! How the fuck can someone in that position be a grouchy asshole? Especially when the number one problem (users bitching about the same stuff over and over) can be fixed with one fucking sentence!
If you are at a board that frowns on flaming, then don’t flame. I see no basis for complaint if a board endeavors to enforce its rules, norms or culture.
DWMarch, that sounds like security through hostility. Regardless of the forum’s intent or content, a forum moderation style (or I fear policy) that bans people for reporting problems to the moderators deserves to get shut down permanently. (Preferably by everybody getting fed up and leaving, not by being cracked into oblivion.)
You both think, thus you both exist. Or you might just be two dreaming butterflies.
That’s hilarious.
I got perma-banned once because of a discussion in a sub-forum specifically given amnesty from bannings, because I wouldn’t stop asking for proof that I looked down on people specifically for their writing style. It was a mod who accused me during a discussion with someone else, and she banned me because I wouldn’t let it slide. (It was along the lines of, “I know he tends to look down on people who don’t write in full sentences, but he’s not that bad despite it.”)
To be honest, I was a right little obnoxious shit who thought he was God’s gift to that board, but I was innocent of that specific crime, dammit!
Are you sure that wasn’t this board? We do take rape very seriously here after all.
They take that very seriously on the Santa’s Workshop Message Board.
