but some seem simply UNABLE to control themselves when it comes to Muslims. Almost 3,000 dead in my hometown in less than an hour will do that to people... ETA: We don't have the stick-poking icon? And NOTHING AT ALL in the Code of Conduct prohibits you from wishing death and damnation and all sorts of horrible things upon the people that carried out those acts, or on any other extremist muslims that want to engage in violence or terrorism. But the second that extends to wishing death on ALL muslims, then it is not any different from people who condemn all Catholics (and shit all over them) for the actions of a few bad priests. Either will earn an account warning, because it's the same principle. Easy, brother.... Like I said, we need that stick-pointy icon thing. I'm partly just saying it to make the point to everyone else who might be reading the thread, |

Dave A was let back. What's the statute or limitations? Can we sponsor Monroe into a similar program? He has had twice the chances Dave_A was given. I assure you he will not be returning. I took a peek in there, and was amazed by what I saw. How are all the non-mods looking up people's ban histories? BushBoar is a mod of the Legal subforum (who knew) and AeroE is a mod in a bunch of the Armory subforums. The mod icon only shows up when the user is posting in a forum that they are a mod of. Makes sense, given that mod authority is forum-specific. |

lol We allow FAR MORE bashing of Islam, and derogatory comments about muslims than we do about any other religion, by a huge margin. So yes, there is absolutely an uneven handling of the CoC when it comes to Islam and other religions.

Quoted: I disagree that it was "nothing." You might agree with his statements, and that's fine.

That prohibition is the VERY FIRST rule in the entire Code of Conduct, and he had such a long list of account violations (for all kinds of different stuff), that he clearly was VERY familiar with the Code of Conduct. Furthermore, this was his third violation after being reluctantly allowed back, and after him PROMISING (yet again) to agree to follow the Code of Conduct.

I'm a moderator at a science fiction publisher's web forums, WE certainly don't give that many chances to someone who fails to obey the rules. Only one time were the moderators overruled about banning someone. That person later made an ass of themselves to the publisher herself and not only got perma-banned but his special free access to all of their e-books was yanked as well (I forget how he'd gotten it). |
