First of all, yes, this is Saddam, and yes, I am committing the mortal sin of evading my ban. If any mod immediately just locks/deletes this thread or permabans my main, that will just be confirming that said mod is a coward. Also, historically this site has shown leniency towards people who made alts to protest unjust bans before, and no one has bothered to ban Crusty for evading his bans with "LiceFarm" and "Plebb". Out of respect for the rules, I asked several people on IRC to raise this issue, and was bluntly refused by every single one, with the exception of Gayer, who said she would inquire on the mod forum.
Now, then:
Sorry Saddam Hussein, you are banned from using this forum!
3 day ban for quoting an old post containing forbidden language.
What the fuck? Who is the dumbass who thought this one up? I'm assuming that the thread in question is one from CN where I quoted Wendy making a couple of racist jokes back from the time when that was tolerated. So, apparently this ban is telling me that anyone who quotes a post is instantly liable for anything said in that post. Does that really sound like anything other than a crock of shit to you? For explicit pictures, maybe, but a post of solely text, in the same thread? If the problem is with me bumping an objectionable thread, not the quote itself, then a warning would have been fine. There's nothing in the rules (nor can be reasonably interpreted as) limiting what we can bump or quote, provided that it isn't done to the level of spam. I really hope that this is some kind of stupid joke.
