UNBAN Swish!

[Freakish]

A forum ban is like the tamest thing ever. You're basically getting told to sit in the corner for a few days. You just can't talk. It'll be ok.

If his posts are being deleted then it's more than a forum ban. Unfortunately, sad times are ahead of us.

Cut off one two more rise. #hailhydra

Nah, it's like Freakisj said. It is standard OP to hide the last week or so of posts alongside a ban in case more questionable material was posted. Mods then have to read through each post before restoring them.

As another great cat FQ'er once said, "Gettng banned is just another level of Forumquest."

TL;DR whole thread.

Voted naw.

Well put @maskedmelon On topic and positive!
I agree @Barkingturtle there is a strange selective process.
@joppykid google cache may help.


I have first hand experience of receiving a warning about something that I have seen in many other posts on the forums.
I didn't think I was doing any harm until I got singled out suddenly. And that was for 1 second of a gif, which was posted again without being removed.

Unfortunately, we block most google features like that at work. So I can't use this feature until later ha.

Not the first time he's been banned. Won't be the last time. Just enjoy a Swish-free forum while you can before he's back to taking a dump on every single thread.

It is a little weird that Swish was apparently banned for using a gay slur and yet there's been a full-blown white supremacist movement festering in the Off-Topic forum for months. I think perhaps even more disturbing than unchecked hate speech is the selective censorship of only certain forms of hate speech.

Yup, this.

These forums are rampant with transphobia, racism, white supremacist....MRA's..... but a gay slur is what gets a ban? Lol wut?

Indeed, so much other hurtful language. We need to better protect our community members from abuses like that. We can start by defaulting all accounts to ignore all other accounts then use our profile descriptors (location, interests, etc.) to advertise our narrow preferences and selectively unignore those with whom we share a common mind. We'll never have to deal with nastiness on the internet again.
