I'm forum-banned for a week on TvTropes

Made when I was much stupider and much more naïve. It was a joke, but it was a nasty joke. I don't think people realised how nasty it was at the time.
I have no recollection of this; it was probably before my time.
(I don't think it's that nasty somehow, probably because there's no context.)
Besides, as we have established, Rottweiler was not banned for making just that one post. (As we have also established, there is a liberal bias in OTC, anyway. Morven all but stated it outright it in that one thread.)
SH hasn't broken any rules, minus calling for mass murder once or twice obviously.
Sorry for confusion, should have indicated that.
Anyway, "never been reported" and "did not break the rule" are not the same, especially when the post in question is fairly well-known. (sigh) This one wonders if she should become more report-happy when/if she returns to the main fora? It's not something this one really wishes to be, and would most certainly ruin her reputation as relatively nice gal, but for fairness sake...((
Vorpy: yeah but you can only toe the line for so long before you tip over it just a little bit.
I also have my own one-shot stupid trolling sockpuppet. Haven't used it since.
Known by whom? I never saw it.
>Allegedly, bending the rules doesn't count as breaking them.
Not really true; that's often where "don't be a dick" comes into play.
>Bobby: I am amazed I am not banned yet to be honest. God help me if I run into another military bashing thread.
You're a COBs regular, aren't you?
But I you'll be fine if you don't blow up in said thread. You see people being dicks, report them for being dicks and let us handle it.
I don't think that confers any special/additional protection on me.
I know have been sharp with the tongue and tone more then a few times honestly.
I usually wait now for barkey to weigh in first. He is just more calm and cool headed about it by comparison.
I am starting to think the mods are getting a bit worn out. Really for a place as active as tropes only 6 mods. That has got to leave you all a bit frazzled at the end of a busy day.
Gimme a hint here, what did I do? Good? Bad? I can't tell anymore.
If you don't get posting abilities back, speak to Maddy. It's possible she just forgot to lift that part of the ban.
