These mods should take more time learning the ebb and flow of the boards and the personalities instead of firing first and asking questions later. Except that the action was for masking, not for insulting another member. Context isn't relevant for masking... well, maybe for the (four-letter) "D" word, but that's a special case.

I saw Sean's post before it was removed and it definitely contained a masked word. It's possible that the action was for attacking another member, but I very highly doubt it.

So it's worse to mask a blocked word than it is to insult another boardie.

Mods aren't handing out points yet unless you do something really ornery. Like tell @greggy to STFU. Obviously, that means show friends frilly undies.

Bird Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 masking in and of itself is okay. It is only masking used to go after someone else that draws moderation. I should know as I mask often and hilariously and have never gotten any moderator attention that I am aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it funny that someone will button-hump over me calling someone an "Adam Henry" when 95% of the people don't know what that means, but "WTF" gets passed over all the time. If one person is to persecuted, then we all should be, equally, no? -slym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 from the terms of service Masking of strong profanity - finding ways to defeat the profanity filters put in place, primarily when used in an insulting manner toward other members. (i.e. typing "@ss" instead of the real word in order to circumvent the filters I like to talk like they do in Johnny Dangerously on occasion and never been slapped for it.

Though now it looks like multiple people can report a post where on the last iteration of the boards, once a post was reported, that was it.
