I've been banned many times for almost nothing its almost ridiculous last time I was banned for a slight bit of profanity which no one else seemed to even notice. Don't get me wrong other then that you guys are doing a great job but sheesh some of us are humans and I know a lot of people who try there best to behave even get banned its just kind of silly. What do you think?
dv8withn8 posted:If you were banned for profanity it's probably not your first infraction. It generally takes about 3 strikes within a period of time to warrant a ban. 1st time you get a PM informing you it's not appropriate in case you missed it somewhere in the board guidelines. 3rd strike and you're out for a day. I think it's pretty fair. Is it really so hard to omit 7 words or so from your vocabulary? There are numerous ways of expressing disdain or anger in the English language.

What do you think? the trmk.org boards are way stricter and also more stupid than here. i got banned for life from there boards last august. i think that some mods and admins have ran out of patients with all the spam, flaming, and swearing from users. i have also noticed that ever since that fused_chameleon quit the mods and admins have really strict. but hey i understand that they are trying to do their jobs. becareful that you don't get banned again shadow_fire for this topic.

When you signed up for these forums, you also electronically signed away accepting these terms of use: http://www.midway.com/page/LegalTerms.html Think of these forums... as if.. you were.. A visitor in someones house. You play by their rules. Would you say the F-Word continuously in their house? Does it make you feel any bigger and gain more respect using those words? I do not see the connection here. I agree with dv8, there are more cleaner ways to express yourselves and profanity is just degrading yourself lower and lower.
