This modding’s bad, m’kay…
In any other context, the warning might be okay, but it’s specifically a thread about swearing in South Park. Come ON. Total woosh.
As did I, and I never even come into ATMB.
Yup, budge up.
I agree this was a woosh on Twick’s part and despite her making a ruling she thought was justified, I think it should be reconsidered. Nothing shows you’re secure in your position of authority and responsibility more than accepting when you have made a mistake, particularly when no harm is done in the process.
Fine, I’ll rescind.
And whoever guessed that I don’t google offensive comments to make sure they’re clever meta commentary and not insults is correct.

Classy move, twicks. You did the right thing.
Yep. I’ve been wooshed myself more than once. All you can do is :smack:.
Thanks twicks. I had no dog in the show, but I’m glad you reconsidered.
Good show
Thanks
Oooo look, a bandwagon!

Now can you officially warn any adult childish enough to watch South Park?
I shall continue my policy of making only posts in this thread that say “what they said.”
What they said.
:rolleyes:
It’s so nice for everyone to come and fight for Merijeek, who either didn’t care or took this up privately via PMs. Was everyone afraid Merijeek could not handle him/herself?
All the posters benefit by determining if this was a mistake or if we, too, might get warned for making such a reference in CS in the future even though it was part of the movie/song, etc. being discussed.
As a matter of course maybe posters should consider that not everyone is going to be aware of every pop culture reference when posting a statement that on it’s face looks insulting.
What does it matter? It was a bogus warning and shouldn’t have been issued in the first place. It could happen to any one of us. I like to think we Dopers look out for the community. It certainly paid off in this case. I think so many posters coming to Merijeek’s defense benefited us all.
Not everyone has to be aware of it, just as long as a warning can be rescinded should it come to light that turned out to be the case. Which it did, and it was.
But I agree there would be no reason to think the post wasn’t an insult without getting the reference and the original response was perfectly understandable.
The first warning I received, here, was in a thread twix started. Here’s my post. I got warned for that, the reason will be clear if you keep reading that thread. The mod response to that indicates to me that Marley ain’t bad, and neither is twix.
I was a total asshole when I first came here. Even total assholes are redeemable, with good moderation. Twix and Marley are pretty good at their (volunteer, unpaid job). Read that thread, and what I had to say, and then tell them they suck…
Cite?
Let me guess. You’re “Nonny”. (besides me, of course. There’s only two of us.)
