Possibly both. There may be other reasons as well.

Does my motivation matter? Do we dare not question the judgemental pronouncements of certain posters who have decided that the thread wasn't up to OOT standards and deserved punishment?

Or am I just a troll? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: racism as a positive value..
 

If its the former, there's a fairly comprehensive sticky. If its the latter, you've got some serious sense of entitlement and self-importance, and could likely use a divorce from your e-persona along with scalf.

And who are you?

Easy asked a question, you are being a total dick.

Some very interesting procramations, oh Grand Poobah PsychiatristLord of OOT.

Any chance that your post could be self-directed? [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

OK, I was being a dick. I have a particulary hard time dealing with condescension and demands from those who have no actual authoritative power. I'm working on it, though.

To answer your question, Easy, if you see [censored] as someone's title, below their name, they have been banned from OOT. Typically this means they are sent a PM asking them not to post in OOT anymore. Subsequent violations result in a complete banning.

The other part of your reply, I figured out- also, the mod and I have also been exchanging PMs.

As to the above, I think you misread my intent, though rereading my exact statement may easily lead to an interpretation of condescension. I meant "scalf and the English language" as one entity, not two. Over in SB, we're used to scalf's version of "English". So, I'll give you credit for your interpretation on that front.

"Demands" and "no power" was a bit of a reach in my opinion. I think we all have the power to request explaination when censoring/banning is involved, don't we? I find it perplexing why the solution wasn't to delete the posts, but delete the user, as an early solution. I find it especially perplexing to base the banning on the perceived value of two posts, when a quick scan of posts in OOT doesn't lead one to presume a high standard of value being required for posters.

Maybe we'll have more of a discussion on moderation later on...
