      The first part of your post is really confusing. Why would you talk like you’re using English from 1930s? Is English your second language?

          Kind of hard for moderators to know that maybe.

          I would just not use those words to not be misunderstood. :)

          Seems you were intentionally trying to seek attention by saying shit people actually don’t want to hear and claiming it’s fine based off a technicality. Your so edgy bro. Don’t call other people stupid just because they see beyond your attempt to be clever.

              We speak the same fucking language. Your metafore of Spanish and negro is irrelevant. You guys seriously run around, on what is an AMERICAN platform and think that the word of choice for a cigarette, a smoke, a stogey, is “faggot”? Not fag, but faggot? That is the word you want to use? Even though you have many other choices of words, that is it? And you are surprised?

              I remember elementary school when we laughed about fag meaning a cigarette. Then I turned 8.

              No but like seriously, I guess maybe I am missing some perspective. You guys just like use it in commonplace? Like, “Hey Benedict, I’m gonna go suck on this faggot over here” or “Hey Charles, it’s time for my fag break”

            Did you just call somebody’s language you inherit a technicality? I swear to god you yanks are something else with your lack of education and common sense. I guess the only way to afford thousand of ICBMs is to defund the school. Bless you

      There are many of us with similar stories. No genuine means of appeal, and the most over-zealous and ridiculous interpretation of the rules leading to a site-wide, permanent ban.

      I got banned for making a joke on a comedy sub. Literally that. Someone made a comment that they and their wife had been the only people in the theater for the premiere of Bert Kreischer’s ‘The Machine’, and that they had fun and enjoyed it.

      I replied that we all knew that was a lie, that nobody had any fun and that his entire relationship was a farce: just grinding out the next 40 years pretending to enjoy mediocre comedies that nobody else bothered to show up for.

      Something to that effect anyway. Well, I guess not sharing the same sense of humour was grounds enough to delete 10 years worth of tech reviews, Linux how-to guides and assorted other long-form bullshit. I’m much more careful about where I host my content these days.

      That’s the exact kind of nonsense I can’t stand. People are SO scared of the prospect of a counter opinion we lose the ability to actually have discussions.

      I got a 7 day site wide ban for saying “you can still kill yourself” in a discussion on Canada new assisted sucide policies. It wasn’t a threat, it wasn’t bullying, it was a relevant point of discussion.

      That’s the thing. A faceless corporation doesn’t have any accountability.
