    Yes really. While the intended target of the joke might find it funny and know it was a joke, someone stumbling across this thread wouldn't know that and therefore infraction. Just doing my job here.

    Exactly why Joy was infracted the last time. Joy shouldn't have to ask "Wow.... really...?".

    That "someone" shouldn't be offended since it wasn't even targeted at him. Hence no infraction You shouldn't just infract everything that gets reported.

    If you shout out a racist comment out in public.. it's allowed because it wasn't directed at someone specific?

    And there's plenty of bad material that goes by unreported. Mods are only doing their jobs.

    Oh believe me we don't. It's a case by case basis with every report.

    What you consider a joke can still be seen as racist by someone else.
    Just like how he was joking about that homophobic word that he was infracted for last time.. yet someone stumbling across this thread could be offended by it.
    Look at it from another person's perspective; you're not the only person/group of people on this forum.

    Typing in a forum =/= shouting in public....

    Oh. I misread that. My reading comprehension is derping.

    Not ever report is infracted. Some reports are down right stupid, but still have to be considered.

    That's why the mods have to be strict about it.

    So, this forum isn't public and a random forum goer can't stumble across this thread, right?
    My mistake.

    So what you're saying is that all the things you've said here are stuff that's appropriate to shout out in public?

    Of course not, but you should know better than to openly air offensive comments.

    It's not the first time you've received an infraction. It shouldn't take you that long to get a point.

    No, that's why mods should be more lenient. I could go on a reporting spree because I find people saying rouge instead of rogue offensive, knowing some mods here they would really infract it.
    If this trend persists we could as well close the forum, because in time even creating a thread with an opinion in it would be seen as offensive.

    Just as you have done, on multiple occasions? Or is it just when you get the chance to play Mr High-horse you start following the rules?

    I get the point, I just don't agree with it.

    You're jumping to an extreme to prove your point.
    Moderators are mindless beings with no opportunity to think for themselves, right?
    They have common sense. They're not going to infract for ridiculous reasons.
