Let's tone down the language.
Look, there's just no need to drop an F bomb in every single post. It's against the community standards, and it's just adding to the very aggressive and confrontational tone that's permeating the board right now.
Starting now, any F bombs or similarly heavy vulgarities are going to be edited and warnings will be issued. Temp or permanent bans are an option if people refuse to comply.
Also, let's try to tone down the personal attacks. I understand people are a little on edge, but if you can't find a way to post consistently without continually tearing people down then you're probably going to be asked to stop.
That is all.

The community standards say censoring in general is ok, but I personally would prefer to stop seeing F bombs at all for a while. At least outside of GDT's.

Personally, I have no problem toning it down - but only because I love you (in a Bill Simmons sorta way...)

Fair enough. I know I've contributed my fair share of F bombs along with Cadbane.

I thought this was your third banning, maybe not - but I know I did the whole "Cadbanned?" post before...
Also, I didn't know rabbitproof was Asian - when did he make his ethnicity public (or does liking Jeremy Lin turn people into Asianses?)

What were you called that was worse than "stupid f*cking g**k" and who called you this? I'll neg-rep them right now if they topped that...

You weren't called "much worse" than what you called rabbit. And you should apologize to rabbit for that despicable trash just because it would be the right thing to do, not as a condition of your proposed reinstatement.
Get over yourself.

I dont think the problem is PC police, I think it's people who actually believe that using ugly racial epithets is synonymous with a "joke."
You might want to stop trying to defend yourself with "they're just as bad as me" and start taking responsibility for your own behavior, although reading your incessant whines about the officiating doesn't give me a high level of confidence that you are adept in taking responsibility for your own actions.

I actually did send Rabbit a PM apologizing, though he hasn't responded.
Now crawl back into your dirty water.

I don't blame him for not responding. The second paragraph in your response to me just proves that any apology you might have offered would have been insincere.
The first and last paragraph shows that you're a slow learner.
Good luck with not getting banned in the future!

Cadbane,
Your apology included "sorry if I offended you" but also multiple insults. Even in your apology, there's namecalling, swearing and more insults. It's hard to take your apology seriously.
I don't know what your intent is but maybe you need to rethink how you talk to people and review the community standards. Stand-up comedians aren't the standard.
If this is just a bleeping message board, it's not a big deal to follow the rules.. or leave it. The alternative is to discuss changing the community standards but I'm ready to leave it if such behavior was tolerated. We come here to enjoy the humor, intellect, character and rapport of fellow Maverick fans, not get called racial slurs and cussed at.

Why are you such a baby? - Today, 09:23 PM
Jesus, it was just a joke. Why are you going to go and cry all over the place like a little bottom bitch? I mean it's a fucking messageboard. I'm sorry if I offended you, but you don't have to get so bent out of shape over it. I don't mean anything by it. Now I'm banned because the Mods here are hypocrites and hate me.
Thanks...
---
I don't accept your weak and insincere apology. It's clearly more about being upset over being banned than feeling remorse for saying something over the top and racist.

How is that not an apology?

Because that's not what you said...
For really-really-real??? Tell me this is a bit.

Are you really so unaware of how you treat people?

As I stated in another thread, it's obvious that the mods are being hypocritical.. that if they do not like you..well, that's the real reason as to why you're being banned. That's just how it works on message boards.
I see nothing that is out of line. I see thoughtful use of colorful and descriptive language that should be used on a daily basis for the betterment of this site.

I'm probably wasting my time responding to this but:
1. Cad had been banned multiple times in the past for very excessive language pointed at another poster.
2. What he did this time has only been seen by a handful of people on the site, and I assure you that no one would describe is simply "colorful" and claim it was for the betterment of the site. It was excessive, to say the least.
