History/record of forum infractions/bans?

Anything caught by the profanity filter is apparently also a potential warning (but then why do we have the profanity filter?). I was given a warning once for using the most common variant of the word excrement when describing a particular DDO mechanic. As a European, it is surprising to me that this is considered a profanity. Even the humble p-variant.
Are you sure it was the “profanity” and not badmouthing their mechanic? Sometimes they are more sensitive than others. I got one for questioning their QA once—go figure.

Pretty much all online forums / comment areas are heavily moderated by bots. YouTube has it mostly automated, where all someone has to do is say they feel harassed to have your account banned from posting for 1-2 days. Interestingly, they never provide the means to defend yourself from false accusations as that would require paying someone to physically moderate.

Well if bots moderate these boards, I think they get weekends off.

OP: The offending post was surely deleted; it may have also been a matter of being auto-banned.

Try your luck messaging Cordovan :ROFLMAO:

Ultimately, to troll, this will not generate revenue so there's no point asking.

*But now I'm curious about bots... and would also like to see specifics again.

I'll summarize it (keep in mind, I speak with no authority what so ever). You can insult ideas but don't insult people. You can say "that is idea is really dumb" but you can't say "you're an idiot."

Does that make sense?
It makes sense but that is not the reality. There is a hierarchy here.

Whether it be via auto-ban or Cordo-ban, it's real.

Actually, the auto-ban theory makes a lot of sense. Or at least makes more sense than my conspiracy theory that I insulted Golum's precious.

Thanks Skynet!

Hellenic is a word for the mainland geographical region of greece, and a reference to greek culture, nothing more.

It is not an empowering term, although a self righteous person could inflect the word in whatever manner they wish to try and indicate some form of superiority.

The Romans often implied that a people should know when they are conquered. As has always been a way of life, the superior usually conquer(as Octavian/Augustus did). As is likely the current case where American culture has a difficult time understanding other cultures that dont model after their current paradigm of superiority, which would look at current greece as the equivalent of Barbar(foriegners).

Although the original post about bans is accurate in that those that receive bans should be given accurate info as to why a ban was given in order to be better able to comply with guidelines(something even a AI bot can do), claiming that one doesnt understand the reason behind things because of their culture could potentially indicate that the person making such claims should spend some time to research and educate themselves on such nuances.

Many special people insult other players -- and make personal attacks -- on this forum. Regularly.

But that is/was what Cordovan does/did.

Yeah there are bots here. Just try using excessive profanity for example, if you dare... (Evil smirk)
There's masking violations (s|-|it) also if AI does indeed patrol here.

FWIW, there is an auto-ban on 20 reportings.

So you lead off your sentence about people insulting others on here with an insult? Guess that makes you special too.
