The State of RTB

[razeraze]

My post was to poke fun but can you all do me a favor? If you out law the word pizza, can you at least tell us. Perhaps a few of these things should be written down and not left to interpretation of a bugs bunny cartoon (because we all know how racist, violent and vulgar looney tunes can be, 11 were pulled permanently for being offensive).
If typographical symbols (!@#$#@%%^%^^$!@#*****%^%^##) or typing the terms (insert profanity here), (censored), (bleep), (pizza) etc... are not allowed here we should all know upfront. As everyone has stated every site is different and how I post elsewhere may not be accepted here, but with rules being loosely interpreted and no concrete explanations we should all expect confrontation.
And now to get it out of my system PIZZA, PIZZA, PIZZA

This also includes hiding one or multiple letters behind asterisks or other characters, ie. h#ck.

Was some part of that unclear to you?

It doesn't get much clearer than that. All letters would fall under the category of "multiple letters".

The TOS and supporting texts are pretty clear and everyone has been told multiple times and seen how it is enforced. Very few people can claim ignorance, especially if you have been here for more than a couple months. All that is left is for us to draw it in Crayon and give everyone Animal Crackers after Nap Time.

Yes morti but that is a legible word, unlike a string of typographical symbols like above the smiley face or a Taz, this string can be interpreted as yelling, cussing, growling, or a series of other expletive or frustrated emotions, not just profanity. Please tell me what word(s) this smiley in insinuating or this one

I am not going to turn this into a debate, but the rules are not as black and white as you moderators make them, and to say we need it drawn out in Crayon is an insulting post digging at non moderators intelligence.

Now you know and that particular issue has been addressed. So I fail to see the issue other than just arguing a pointless point. You can debate it ad nauseum, but it doesn't change the answer. Accept it and move on.

Ok... It has been spelled out for you now.

If you were to type "I hate your @#$%^%$#@ Guts" you will get an infraction.

If you were to type "My Favorite Keyboard characters are @#$%^&" probably not so much.

This is not the first time that removing the censored and cursing smilies has been brought up. The last time, when it was presented to Natas, he basically said that it was utterly childish and that anyone who was worried about it needs to get a life... This leads me to believe that they are not going to go away.

You got an infraction. It happens. Its not the end of the world. To quote myself Again:

2) If you do get a warning or an infraction, take it as constructive criticism... It's just us asking you to help us keep this a good place to be

I have something further to add...

"Selective Enforcement" of the rules is one of those terms that really annoys me. Why? It reminds me of the old elementary school tattle-telling... "Johnny is doing it too!" If you get a speeding ticket, have you told the cop off because he didn't give a ticket to the other cars? How'd that work out for you? Do you feel that this is going to work out better some how?

Ok... Done.
