TL;DR, getting a boards suspension from our favourite internet jannie iceborn for posting "kekw" under some stupid shit somebody else said.

Hey Hi im 12,

We've recently removed your post for violating the Boards Universal Rules, particularly regarding inappropriate discussions. Attacks on lgbtq+ individuals will not be tolerated under any circumstances and that also encompasses supporting others who initiated such provocative behavior. As you have been previously warned against inappropriate remarks, please be aware that further violations of the board rules may result in a permanent loss of posting privileges.

Your removed content:

kekw

As per the Boards Universal Rules, we do not tolerate posts that discuss:

Religion Sex Politics Any social issues, though some exceptions may be appropriate While we understand that players may be passionate about certain topics, the topics listed are problematic on the Boards because they generally end up derailing, leading to arguments and insults.

At this time, we have decided to apply a 3-day suspension to your Boards account. To prevent further punishments on your Boards account, please take this time to familiarize yourself with the Boards Universal Rules and applicable sub-board guidelines. Continued violation of the Boards Rules will result in further restrictions on your Boards privileges.

If you have any questions about this moderation action, don't hesitate to reach out to the Boards Moderation Team via:

pretty dank memes, apparently laughing is an attack on the lgbt community now, could we just take me away to prison for the hate crime already?

The missing context is that this was posted on the thread discussing the unfortunate passing of proplayer Remilia which makes it not only insensitive, but inappropriate as it can be read as mocking a member of the LGBTQ+ community. There were also 2 other comments discussing the social issue of LGBTQ+, a topic that is not generally permitted on the Boards, that were removed at the same time and most likely contributed to the ban along with your large amount of past violations/bans within the last few months. Sometimes we choose to escalate actions to bans based not solely on the content of the removal, but for a continued pattern of rule violating behavior.

What most likely happened is that it was removed for being low-effort and/or spam.

What board was this in?
