Beware the KEK square, for it heralds the toadhammer.

I propose the much safer usage of the KEK pyramid.

well that'd explain it

Can we ban the use of the eleventh letter of the alphabet to prevent this from happening again?

[smjjames]

Well, it was obviously not OW's first, I don't know what his previous infractions were.

To clarify, no, you can't call people f***** on our forum, and you can't put n***** in your URL.  If you've got a problem with that, you can leave.  If you have a problem with me using *, you can leave too.

Oh THAT's what it was, thanks for clarifying. I don't have a problem with you, just didn't know what was up, and is probably the case for most people.

I'm just gonna...log off for a bit. Might come back next year. Probably not, to be honest. Bay12 is getting far too heated and political, and when long-time users get banned for jokes...it really, really doesn't sit right with me.

I have responsibilities here so I can't up and leave, at least not until MSPAForum is restored, but I guess I'll limit my banter so that I don't get banned.

This year just seems particularily nasty as far as politically, I'd say wait until after the elections.

All this just makes me think. How much time does Toady loses moderating the forums that should be used to develop DF instead.... shame on all of you who make him waste his precious time!

[TempAcc]

EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH in all fairness, Bay12 really is getting a little overboard with its political charged shenaningans, altough that doesn't have much to do with OW's ban. Toady isn't going out of his usual ways either, people got banned before for similar jokes. Do feel bad for OW tho, he was a cool fruit, and a rather old forumite too.

As I said, this year is just rather nasty compared to others.

I've shitposted gratuitously and I'm fairly sure I've never even been reported. Just try not to get caught up in the few GD politics threads and you'll be fine.

...Though, that's really not who I was expecting up next for the moderation log.

[hops]

I wonder if it'd be in bad taste if I started a Banpool?

[Egan_BW]

Notice how I didn't say who I did expect up next.

[smjjames]

I wonder if it'd be in bad taste if I started a Banpool?

What would that accomplish?

[Frumple]

There's not really anything political about getting banned for using bigoted language, even if it was a joke. Which is what got OW. And yeah, that's been consistent behavior from boss toad for years. If y'can't avoid using that particular sort of terminology, well... maybe not the best place to be

Is shame to see OW go, but that's also been something they've tripped over in the past, so... yeah.

And LB, toady's said more than once the time he spends moderating isn't terribly much. Still reason enough to try to keep things from going out of line, but still.
