Wait... What the hell is the T word?
I can think of no word that begins with T that deserves a warning on its own merit. Hell, I can't think of a single word that deserves a warning on it's own merit. Especially on a forum where you can use the words fuck and ****** so long as the context is inoffensive.
Tea, are, oh, double hockey sticks

It's never actually happened to me, but I've been called the word before by someone else. The guy got a warning almost immediately. It doesn't much matter how it's used from what I gather either. You can say fuck/******/**** until the cows come home, but don't use that word ever. I'm even a little nervous about it right now, to be honest. Consider this an important lesson.

Troll? You can use that just fine, so long as the context is fine, like most other words. I think the other person who quoted me is more likely to be correct.

Much like break-ups, if you get banned, chances are it's for a very good reason.

I've actually surprised myself by recognizing quite a few of their names. I guess my memory isn't as bad as I initially thought.

There's always the possibility that it's Kross trolling on Zeel's account.

That's my headcanon anyway...
I dunno. Like, he's in a lot of other threads, posting... fairly similarly. I'm so confused.
Hopefully he updates his blog explaining what happened.

Getting banned is probably something everyone here will go through eventually. It is inevitable.

I remember having a couple of good, stupid conversations with Boudica... And like many, am starting to miss Vault's atrocious grammar. I didn't know Matthew94 got banned, but now that you mention it there has been a distinct lack of James McCloud avatar. I also-

I genuinely miss Vault101. So much that, when it's time to sort out the brain lapses and speedy finger typo or sentence structure jumbles, I channel Bill Burroughs and call it art. Vault101 would have considered these faulty sentences to be perfectly valid, and it helps me cut down on being a grammar nazi. It's... sad, but refreshing.

I remember Boudica getting quite unhinged, erratic and aggressive in what seemed to be very little time. Not entirely sure what happened there. We didn't even agree on the taste of water, but I somehow managed to ignore or compartmentalize her input, so I pretty much still wonder what finally did her in. Not bothered enough to look it up, though.

Katatori-Kunt was starting to become a pet project of mine. His army of strawmen intrigued me. When he dismissed my very personal sexual experiences and preferences in favour of his own circumcised wiener and 'scientific fact', though, I basically started blanking him. It felt like 'if you woman person don't like mutilated wiener, and if you can't bring up scientific raw data to prove your point, then I am not interested in your opinion' - yeah, that shut me up alright. Ready to dance the riverdance on his grave until I grind his skull into the soil. Nothing personal, though.

Did I mention I miss Vault101?

I miss Vault101. Granted her spelling and grammar was crappy but it felt almost endearing. She had some strong views too.

74 posts and no one mentioned Pararaptor. Or LordCuthberton.
And I've only seen one mention of Swollen Goat.

Y'all disappoint me, Escapist. XD

Also, welcome back Zeel.

So that's why I've been seeing all those vault101 graveyard avatars. It seems kinda dumb how people who post more often are more likely to get banned simply due to accumulated minor infractions. Instead of 6 months it should be after a certain number of warning free posts that you get a warning removed.
Ummm?

It's got nothing to do with how often you post. There are plenty of people with high post counts who don't have full forum health bars.

If we applied your method to giving out infractions, people would just spam "normal" posts until their health bar was clear, and then go insult whoever they want again, because they know they can just get it back to empty in no time. :/

These people won't get any sympathy from me. How hard can it be to follow a few simple rules and just behave yourself?

I don't mean to sound self-righteous, but I always read every post I type thoroughly to see if there's anything in there that might be in violation with the rules before I submit it. I suppose a couple of slip-ups is okay, but if you let them rack up and get you banned, you're clearly not the kind of person for a forum. Getting suspended should be a major tell-tale sign that you seriously need to re-evaluate your posting behavior.

I'm sure that some of the banned folks are nice people that mean no harm, but the same rules apply to everyone. It really isn't that hard.

With that attitude, yes.

It might possibly mean "tranny". I got a warning for it in early 2012, ignorant that it was an offensive slur (I had previously seen transsexuals refer to themselves as "trannies" so I had no idea. Still got warned though). If it isn't that, then I have no idea.
Quite possibly is, but I'd be suprised if the moderation was that strict on it. I mean 'gay' or 'queer' is commonly a term for describing homosexual people in a derogitory manner, but it's really the context that it is said in that counts.
The T word he means is probably "Troll".

Calling someone a troll is a punishable offense. If you think someone's trolling, you just report and move on, or tell a Mod about it.

Perhaps, but the original post I quoted said that the person merely got a warning for "mentioning the 'T' word".
So I assumed that this would have to be a word which was forbidden regardless of context, and I could not think of such a word, especially in the 'T' section of the alphabet.

Although to be fair, he got banned right after I joined. :p

Pffffft, I loved Max. I kept up with him on twitter after he got the axe. You're just jealous that he was more popular than you. =P

Oh, well then I have no idea. We usually do try to take things in context, though.

Quiet you.



Besides, I don't get jealous, I get sexy.
