[serious] Off Topic Moderation Input - Part 2

[Wezil]

I certainly took exception to Ben's assertion that all gays are HIV positive (or at least a massive risk for it, even when they are celibate), and that DRose was intentionally trying to harm people by donating blood as a high school student.

I don't think he was ever banned.

Plomp has actually stood up for Ben's rights to be a bigoted, hateful idiot spewing hate speech based on HIS religion, so it is ridiculous for Plomp to ban people for that reason...

Absurd.

QFT.

All rules apply the same to all members.
If you believe that a rule has been violated, report the post or contact any of the mods in private.

Ben has the right to have an anti-gay opinion as much as you guys have the right to have an anti-religion opinion. Nobody has ever been banned for posting that christians or roman catholics are stupid brainwashed people, or something like that.
If someone posts that gay all should die or that a certain person should have been killed already, then he'll receive the same penalty.

If I have missed posts like that, I am sorry.
Please make me aware of them.

You are banned for 1 day based on rule 2 (hate speech based on religion) and Off-topic rule 4b ("Malicious personal attacks, attacks that are deemed to be aimed at driving other users from the site")

When will people be banned for homophobic posting and remarks, and for using the word "***" or "******?"

No open debate here on the topic of correct insulting.

This will only encourage tubbies to do the wrong type of insults.

I agree with your point that insults should be consistent. However, it should be that posters who make a certain type of insult stick with that style. For example, KH's use of "****" or Sloww's use of outdated phrases. When you deviate from this pattern, it confuses the readers and could hurt someone's feelings.

I'm not even going to mention your great-great-granduncle :wiglaf:

[BeBMan]

Wrong cousin!

[ColdWizard]

Your third cousin twice removed is a complete *******.

[BeBMan]

You can insult my family all you want, but stop this insulting **** against me!!!

[ColdWizard]

This is clearly the type of insult we don't want to have here at Poly, since it is directed against me.

You only say that because you're ****tarded bucksnort of a dominatrix.
