next time I'll be sure and use "fucking" instead of "stupid".

It's a disgusting word anyway. Why is it necessary in the first place on a fricken game?

Yes, I think you got it. Using c^nt in it's proper context (F**king C*nt) is preferred.
Everybody knows speaking profanity is a sign of intelligence. You should use the word C*nt at least 50 times in one sitting, in order to get your point across...much the same as the British do.

demonfork, that's because you're a jackass and no one actually likes you. Quit, please.

Actually, it is primarily due to different ownership. We now take a much more relaxed view.

Demofork, not all cunts are created equal.
Some cunts are bigger cunts than other cunts.
Some cunts are tighter cunts than other cunts.
Some cunts have more hair than other cunts.
And some cunts cheat.

IMO this is a bad idea. No one should get off with calling someone such an inappropriate word. I agree with SA on this one. Not needed in the place people come to to play games. Or anywhere honestly, but especially not here.

Agreed. Even in the relaxed rules, this type of language is unacceptable to me.
Still, demonfork is a jackass.

I too agree that sexist comments like this should be condoned, because only men have big enough brains to play war games.

This isn't a question of whether its right or wrong to use the word cunt. Personally, I couldn't care less, bc I don't have one. DF is pointing out the inequity of two almost identical instances being dealt with in opposing ways. Clearly not fair... This is an objective fact. If you want to attack DF instead of speaking to his (accurate) point, then so be it as I'm sure he can take it. Point is, he's right, whether u like what he's right about or not.

good point,but even though it is the "same" website, the ownership and management are not the same. Therefore, should we be forced to follow the same structure?, or should we be allowed to develop our own?

I agree with DF in his point, ronc should be given the same punishment. The change in this rule is also stupid (and therefore the management should not have changed the rules to condone this sort of language to be allowed). That was the point I was making, expanding on DF's point.

No, you should be allowed to develop your own structure, obviously. I'm going to attempt to explain this situation right now. TeeGee, if you want to change anything I say, have at it.
DF, your ban was issued while the forums were moderated under previous management. We are currently moderating the forums differently, in a more relaxed fashion, and not taking such a hard line regarding language. When you were banned, the ban was meted out according to moderating standards in place at that time. Under our new standards, a similar offense, such as the one you're referencing, does not rate high enough to earn discipline.
Thank you for being a valued part of our community. Believe it or not, but feedback from users like you do help us in our constant pursuit of better, more consistent moderation in our forums. Hopefully you continue to enjoy this site for many more years to come!
Hope that helps.
Bollocks.

The way the system works and is currently under review is listed in the outdated community guidelines
penalties are not based on what rule or guideline you break, it depends on how many times you have broken the "rules" before. It also doesn't matter if the last time you broke a rule was last week or in January 2006. so therefore 2 people committing the same offence will rarely get the same punishment anyway

That makes more sense. However I still don't think I will like this new "relaxed" version, but to each his own I guess. Thanks for the explanation

How is it a disgusting word? So cunt is disgusting, and cock is not? Would women just get over the fact that, like men they have genitals. Take the word back. Cunt is one of the oldest slang/swear words in modern usage if not the oldest. Cunnis, cunni, from the latin. Who used to affectionately refer to a woman's vulva as piggie, piggle wiggle etc. Plump and pink, like a cute little piglet. I blame christianity for women and men thinking of female gentalia as dirty, and all descriptive non clinical words as dirty by association.
May all that are offended by the word CUNT, get ingrown hair on their privates and both arms in plaster casts. Your collective puritanical attitudes make me sick.

The word was used as an insult. Not to affectionately refer to anything. Read the context before posting.

The word vagina is a modern monstrosity. Shakespeare didn't use it, so it's not a real word.

for instance... if i break a rule, i get an auto 6 months vs. a member that may get a day or two or three... glad to hear they are re-visiting this... when the former regime hoodwinked everyone into agreeing to the scale, it was believed to be just for the bigotry guidelines, not for ALL infractions... nice to see the wrongs of that regime are not being righted...-Jésus noir

So arbitrary or vexatious past rule enforcement counts, but now many of those same rules are no longer applicable? Yet, you are held accountable for past infractions that may have been applied erroneously or maliciously?
Makes perfect sense.
Thanks for clarifying that.
Shouldn't there be some sort of announcement by the "Enforcers"?
At the very least revised guidelines? I assume the guidelines are developed, otherwise how do you know what to enforce?
