I don’t think swearing is banned. I’ve just pointed out that mods have consistently temp-banned posters who direct profanity towards other posters in an angry way. It’s always been okay to say fuck Donald Trump or Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders and it’s never been okay to say fuck you to a fellow poster no matter the provocation.
I mean, I basically think the overall tone here hews a good bit more polite than most of the internet, which is just kind of an implied rule for anyone giving a shit about what you’re typing. I think there are circumstances where “fuck you” to a specific poster might be fine, such as where the poster has already done something far, far worse to the person responding, such as making an illegal threat of violence, and repeating that threat IRL. Like… have you not been reading my posts BruceZ? Moderator golf is cancelled. People’s real lives are on the line.
Fine… then I hereby call for the permanent ban of BruceZ.
Historically, that stuff has consistently been modded. It’s not really hard to convey similar meaning while not being banned.
Luckily, I’m not BruceZ.

You can bite your thumb. Just don’t bite your thumb at a forum enemy.

Isn’t this referencing old drama, since you created this rule when you were moderator?

Possibly the oldest reference to drama posted thus far unless anyone knows of a 426+ year old one.

lol rooting against the US is trolling, got it. Not sure who “they” is and I haven’t and won’t report any posts. I definitely don’t want you to do any moderating, here or anywhere else.

Yes. That is what trolling is.

you’re not wrong
Well at least these guys are consistent. You’re trolling if you don’t support US proxy wars, you’re trolling if you don’t support US Soccer. USA#1, if you don’t love it leave it.

cuse, not that you’ll elaborate, but I’d love to hear how choosing the wrong soccer team to root for is trolling. Oh, you’re not taking questions, right.

From now on, anyone who flags posts in bad faith then shows up arguing against said moderation in response to their flags loses any right to have their flags stay private.

You are rooting against the US in the US World Cup thread. It’s just trolling ¯_(ツ)_/¯

What’s wrong with rooting against the US?
It isn’t the US world cup thread.
