Here's the post Silver was initially warned for:


I want to know what the FUCK any of levee's bullshit has to do with what fucking map you guys agree on?


Interestingly, the mods weren't the first people to call the rules to his attention:


Please watch your language in the upper forums.  Yes, some people here can be quite frustrating to deal with, but there is no need for profanity.


He was warned, and then was needlessly profane again. Now, you say that one swear word in a post should not be considered excessive. Well, that depends entirely on how many posts we're talking about. In my view, it's worth considering his wider post history:


OK, so now we're saying that because A FUCKING VIDEO GAME that is set in a FICTIONAL WORLD has a flat Earth map, that means that the real Earth is flat?  Are you people serious?  That's probably the worst argument yet.  This truly proves this to be a troll site.


Where the hell did the shit about dinosaurs come from?


Do you see how hard it is to make all of the bullshit puzzle pieces fit together?


The moon didn't do shit, no pun intended.


I want to know what the FUCK any of levee's bullshit has to do with what fucking map you guys agree on?


The problem with this swap is that there are numerous ways that a round Earth can be proven without having to make shit up.


So James, I say either post a picture of the fucking antimoon, or admit you are making it up.  Take your pick.


Stop derailing my fucking thread Wardogg!


Wouldn't becoming an expert on anything mean you have met a certain set of criteria?  For example, you have met the criteria that makes you an expert on post bullshit.


See, my list was from all of the current accepted data of astronomy, whereas yours was pulled for your ass.
- While it is true, that there are scientists who disagree on certain things, they have things they do agree on.  I mean you guys can't even come up with a consistent fucking map!

I'm going to have to go ahead and lump you in with James and Pongo as trolls who post wacky shit just to get a reaction out of the rest of us.  If you have evidence to the contrary, please post it.


See, this all points toward my theory that you guys just make up shit as you go along.  You are so HELL BENT on denying that the Earth is round, you will say anything to try to convince people other wise, even if what you say makes no fucking sense whatsoever!


I'm still waiting for ANY scientific data that supports this.  And if us telling you we "can see it plain as day" when referring to anything RE, you cannot use this line when trying to back up your own bullshit.

(the above is not a formatting error on my part; he just decided to quote himself swearing)


You seriously just pulled that out of your ass, didn't you?  If that's the case, don't you think people would have reported a huge fucking flock of birds pushing a 747?  I know if I was on a flight and looked out the window to see a shit load of birds pushing the plane, I'd not only tell someone, I'd take some pictures.


Now, the above posts were all made in the upper boards over last two weeks. That is by no means the limit; anyone who wishes to do so can go further back through his post history and find plenty more instances of profanity. I can't be bothered quoting any more of them, but having had a quick browse I know there are plenty in there. I think that in the course of 14 days, such profanity is certainly excessive, and could easily have warranted a two week ban. If you ask me, he should consider himself lucky.

Not only was the ban reason that he had been warned once before the same week, and nothing but that. James didn't seem to recognize the previous swears either, and yet again you're completely ignoring more than 50% of my OP.

Please post in English, if possible; it's the language FES posters are most familiar with.

James stated the reason he was banned, was because he had been warned earlier the same week. Not because of previous swearings.

He was warned for something, he did it again, he was banned for doing something that he had already been warned about. What's so difficult to understand about that?

Gee, it seems like markjo ought to be either banned for membrating or made a mod for being on the ball.  Tough call.

James does not have to explain the reasoning behind every ban to the entire board, but nonetheless, he has already done so:


As per standard moderating procedure, I warned Sliver after his first rule transgression. After he contravened the warning only a few days later, he was banned.

Nor was this an isolated incident, in reviewing his posting history I have noticed a trend of low-content posting and abuse.


Clearly, his post history was taken into account prior to the warning and the subsequent ban. Moreover, the fact remains that four of the posts I quoted were made after James issued that warn, so he has absolutely no excuse.


As for the rest of your post, it should be perfectly plain why I ignored it, and indeed it was quite charitable of me to do so. Frankly, your attempt to draw a comparison between levee/Ichi's posts and Silver's is laughable. Excessive profanity is not equatable with excessive font size, and I would hardly describe telling someone to "study more" as a denigrating attack.


Equally ridiculous is your attempt to equate the word 'crap' with 'fuck' or 'shit'. I'm pretty sure every major film/television censor in the world would disagree with you, something which is quite relevant given this site's 'PG-13' content policy. Silver's posts overstep the mark in this respect, whereas Ichi's and levee's certainly do not.


Silver was warned about his consistent and excessive profanity in the upper boards, ignored that warning, and his account was suspended as a consequence. His post history over the last few weeks supplies more than ample justification for that ban, and I think that's apparent to just about everyone here.


Gee, it seems like markjo ought to be either banned for membrating or made a mod for being on the ball.  Tough call.


Memberating it is =)

Enjoy your ban.

Now I'm off to grep other members posts for swear words.

Expect a long and detailed report shortly.

The RE Destabilization Committee is becoming very adept at using this board to monopolize the forum.  You know who you are.


Nice to see you Mrs Peach.

All right, I suppose it's perfectly fine to use the biggest font size possible and use denigrating personal attacks, as long as I don't use the word "fuck" or "shit" but instead the words "crap".

Got it.

Look, if you do retarded things, you can expect to be banned. There is a line, and it's pretty obvious where that is, so don't push it.
