    Because he didn't actually post the word that we're both assuming that he did. Is that enough to suspend someone? I'm not sure it is. When I first saw that I didn't even catch it until you replied to me asking if the original post was edited. And even then I'm just assuming that was his original intent.

    So confused by this? I can't follow the conversation. How/why am I tagged? What did I do?

    If you look at how the sentence is worded what else could he be saying if it's not that word? And if he was in fact using a different word why not just type out the word? Why use all @!$^& instead? Anything that he could have been saying is far less worse than saying that word, which I believe he did, hence the #!%&*$.

    The post was edited so you can't see the original post anymore. Sorry.

    Okay but there needs to be a set rule before we start banning or suspending people. Something that I can explain to everyone and teach to staff. What exactly would that rule be? If you see characters instead of letters you should assume the worst possible word based on the number of characters posted?

    And seriously, I very much appreciate you bring this up to me and this conversation we're having. I just don't feel comfortable suspending or banning people for what something might or could be.

    I try to make things as black and white as possible. Just tonight in one of the threads @Strenuus called @SportsAndWhine a son of a bitch. I knew he was kidding and no malice or insult was intended but it did violate the personal insult rule. So I edited the post. Not because @Strenuus did anything wrong but because as some have mentioned on here I can't selectively enforce the personal insult rule. If I were to suspend @Sinobas over the worst I can assume he meant by posting random characters then I would have to make that same assumption about all posts using random characters.

    Being perfectly open about this @Sinobas has used the n word before in posts and has been warned by both myself and Denny that this is not acceptable. Because of that I am looking at this very closely and have given it careful consideration. Even using "deductive reasoning" I just don't feel there is enough there to suspend him.

    How about asking Sinobas what word he was actually saying and why it needed to be $&#*% instead of typed out?

    If the word he says makes sense in the sentence and it warrants all the *%$#& then he shouldn't be suspended but if it doesn't and comes off as convoluted then you should suspend him cause he's lying.

    What are you talking about? Using masked profanity? Amusing that on a board where profanity openly flows like whine, people get their panties in a wad over self-censored profanity.

    Yes. If you post that word, this comes up. ******

    I think you're confusing profanity with slur. Difference between fuck that asshole, and fuck that ******

    Wow, if I say someone is a @#$$@, and you assume because he's black it's the N word, that's your own brain filling in the blank there. I think RipCityDSCLP should be suspended for having such dirty thoughts.

    You were doing so good, and then you had to throw out a personal insult. You have to careful. If this had been directed towards anyone else, you'd be in trouble.
