Used the wrong word. Happened years ago once with another word, but that time my post was changed and I got a PM saying don't do it again. Yet this time, used in obvious jest, I get carded twice. Since being warned years ago, I've never used the word again. Coincidentally, just a few days ago I myself warned another poster who used it.
Here's the rule I'm told was just broken.
Ethnic/Racial/Gender Slurs
[*]Offensive Posts, Links or Images: This means - No racist/Xenophobic threads/posts/images No rape threads/posts/images No shit threads/posts/images No beastiality threads/posts/images No overtly pornographic threads/posts/images No




phile/incest threads/posts/images No grossout threads/posts/images
Here's from the site's rules page, which I visited to get a refresher on the guidelines.
There's this in the sticky-threads.
Racism/Xenophobia- Refrain from using racial/xenophobic/gay slurs. Just like above, if you stick to arguing for/against an ideology, religion, philosophy, and avoid dehumanizing the group or person that holds that view, you should be fine.
I don't see the part where it says how it amounts to dubz, compared to this violation that's never even been carded.
-A thread title should accurately reflect a summary of your OP.
So based on highly selective enforcement (going well beyond these examples), I guess I made at least one mod's shitlist. And to my knowledge that means no thread-starting for a month. That means I won't be able to fulfill my promise as President of 20, two-week threads. That means I've no incentive to continue making new ones. Works for me, since nothing's gonna be more fascinating than the Zodiac case and nobody wants to have a thread made on their behalf. Except
@VivaRevolution with the mailing drive. I wanted to, we just couldn't agree on one that made sense.
PS. Since what I quoted was in quotes I assume it's sourced elsewhere, public knowledge, and fair game. But I've been wrong before. Sooooo....
I'd like to thank everyone who voted for me in any of the three rounds. All those who acted as thread-starters. All those who participated as panel-members. And everyone who entered a thread and participated with good intentions.
The opportunity meant a lot to me. I learned some things and grew as a person. That said, I'd like to apologize for not being of the personality and character to be more of a uniting influence. I'm sorry I wasn't able to regularly maintain the diplomatic tone and content befitting what I aspired to.
In my defense, I made great effort to follow through, never held anyone's political views against them, maintained transparency, and
did oftentimes treat people with more patience and respect than I otherwise would have.
Thanks again,
Cubo
