Ok board moderators.... Sure love abusing your power...

So if I'm banned from using the boards discord for whatever reason, and I have a matter I need to speak of, what the fuck am I suppose to do "moderators"? Because apparently my other profile got suspended for me calling someone r%%%%%ed and I'm just like, " You can't possibly tell me this board is this squeamish and these moderators are this trigger happy." Your meaning to tell me that you can't insult people even in the slightest degree when they good and well deserve to be??? Huh? Cause not even the game's penalty system, is this fucking sensitive. Called someone r%%%%%ed once and I get a 3 day ban, are you fucking serious???

Well maybe you should follow the boards' rules

Just a thought [sg-lulu]

Most of them are fine. There's one or two powertripping ones though.

All I said was r%%%%%ed, like what the fuck?

I'm baffled how you're surprised that you got punished when you broke the rules.

BlossomPenguinOct 5, 20192 votes

Cool. Didn't ask you though.

You posted on a public forum. I don't need your permission to respond rofl.

The r word is hateful, we are backing away from using it.

From the Universal Rules:

There are cases where the term "hate speech" may not be fully appropriate, but the language is still discriminatory and offensive when used negatively in regards to an individual or concept. Do not use any language intended to express contempt for an individual or concept on the basis of ethnicity/race, sexual orientation, gender, religion, etc., even if intended humorously or jokingly. This includes, but is not limited to, examples such as those provided below:

"gay"
"r%%%%%" or "r%%%%%ed"
"jew"
"autistic"

Pejorative language is usually subject to escalated punishments, depending on the content in question.

I'm not seeing any violations or actions on this account. If you list the name of the account that was punished then I or another mod can look into it for you.

So I took a look and The Djinns pinned message quoting the Universal Rules applies here. It appears that you received a suspension for insulting other users, which included using that word to do so. While I can understand being frustrated at trolls and under-performing players it's not cool to insult others just because you're upset, and the rules still apply even in the RANT sub-forum.

Are you seriously telling me that r%%%%%ed can get me a 3 day suspension...... And that thia board is literally made where no one can insult anybody even when they deserve it.......? Cool I'm done. Sick of bullshit happening to me only with this game....

I actually asked about that after I made my post as to me it seems strange that it would get a 3-day suspension with no priors. Once i get some clarification I'll post an update either in a separate post or this one. That being said, from the Rant Board Rules:

No Hate Speech or Pejorative Language These rules are still in full effect.

Already said I'm done

Update: After talking to the mods we've decided to reduce the suspension to a 1-day ban since a 3-day ban was deemed to be too harsh in this case. In the future please refrain from insulting others regardless if you feel it's justified or not. 1-day ban since a 3-day ban was deemed to be too harsh in this case.

In what context do you feel someone deserved being called that ?
