If a rule put in place by the mods is only abused to try and get people banned/punished that they dislike then the rule is not very good and should be removed completely.
Harassment covers it's own clause and if someone wants to say any words not covered by the censor outside of games then the post should just be removed or then punished if they continue, but moderating HC in games is ridiculous and epicmafia shouldn't be a battleground where mods act as a shield for someone who feels offended about someone using a slur.
you have instances like the report i linked and the example given in this very paragraph where the issue arises. it's honestly ridiculous that 3 offenses of using predetermined slurs can get you the same type of ban that notorious users like ABC who spam on the forums. you can't really make people play nice or even really want to follow your rules and trying to force that where people who are either 1) unaware of the rule 2) don't hold the same social views as you are being banned or violated left and right is not the answer
Is that how things were run when you were half-heartedly modding?

Forum Spam Creating duplicate threads, posting multiple threads in the wrong forum, post flooding, OFF-TOPIC POSTS, and excessively bumping old threads. Minor offences can combine and lead to a violation.
you know rules apply to mods too...right...?

so will mods ever consider alternatives that are not either half-heartedly agreed on or discussed for maybe 20 minutes
i mean who in their right mind actually thought it was balanced when youd get pigeon holed into overproducing lings to hold off zealot harassment and wasnt even committing then you'd be behind on econ to a protoss lmfao
There was no derailing in the beginning, but people choose to not reply to things that they don't know how to counter.
so why are you still posting?
Stop asking stupid questions.
is this one of those examples of "not replying to things they don't know how to counter"
No I'm just shocked that I don't have you forum blocked.

If this guy didn't kill the ghoul into autoloss, I wouldn't have reported him. So really, you can justify it as him being reported for losing. It's natural selection.

retti, its reduces the amount of HC. hell, if you ban one user because they would not stop using HC, then you have already reduced HC.
there are not players that are readily jumping up taking the banner to get themselves banned next
also i think its been explained, but you have several warnings before being banned
in short; u trippin
HC can be handled like harassment or maybe even trolling/report spam like ive been saying this whole time like jesus christ
