What are the penalties for verbal abuse/insults?

I'm wondering about the specifics here: when someone calls a female forum user a slut, what’s the actual penalty for that?

In my opinion, that deserves a permanent ban. In one specific instance, the guy only got a three-day suspension—probably 100 points since I couldn't see the warning before the post was deleted. It seems incredibly light, especially considering I was hit with 500 points and a seven-day ban for something much less severe.

If you ask me, that should have been a permanent ban. In this specific case, the guy only got slapped with a three-day suspension—probably a 100-point deduction, though I couldn't see the actual strike since the post was already nuked—which is honestly pathetic... especially when I took a 7-day ban and lost 500 points for doing way less than that.

And who exactly gave you permission to call me that?

Maybe they call you names, but they don't call me that.

Not everyone has the talent to ambush their own thread and shut it down in one swift move.

"If you ask me, that's grounds for a permanent ban."

🙏 @silverviper44, you're my hero. 🙏

Hogare, find a new dealer; this current guy is selling you bottom-shelf weed.

Is there seriously no one from admin willing to step up and answer?

What's the point of having "forum rules" if the admins refuse to follow them?

Why not just admit you're gods who can do whatever you want? Because that seems to be the current policy.

The site is crawling with columns and trolls that the admins choose to feed instead of banning.

Honestly, if you ask me, that guy deserves a permanent ban. In this specific case, he only got slapped with a three-day timeout—probably a 100-point deduction, though I couldn't see the actual violation notice since the post was already scrubbed. That’s an absolute joke. I remember getting hit with a seven-day ban and a 500-point penalty for way less than what he pulled. The math just doesn't add up.

That’s nothing. I’ve been called everything from "unhinged" to "straight-up psycho," and honestly? Not a single thing ever happened. No HR meeting, no reprimand, nothing. Just total silence.

silverviper44 said:Why don't you guys just come out and say it? Just admit you’re basically gods who can do whatever the hell you want, because let’s be honest—that’s exactly what you’re doing anyway.

I’m all for it, honestly. It would be a hell of a lot fairer that way.

silverviper44 I can't even begin to process this. It’s like some people just refuse to look at the facts right in front of them. I’ve seen this kind of nonsense before—usually when someone is trying to push an agenda that makes zero sense logically. Honestly, it’s exhausting.
Hogare, you need to ditch your dealer. The stuff this guy is peddling is absolute garbage.

What, is the admin team too busy to even bother with a response?

What's even the point of having "forum rules" if the administration won't even follow them?

Why don't you just admit it? Just say you think you're gods and can do whatever the hell you want, because honestly, that’s exactly what you're doing.

This forum is crawling with columnists and trolls, and the admins are just sitting on their hands instead of banning them for good.

What are you even supposed to say to them? Just write up a complaint that actually makes sense and—for the love of god—ask for a formal warning according to the regulations. Don't go screwing her over. Next time you write—and I mean, stick to your guns and be consistent—you’ll actually get somewhere.
You might like the answer, or you might not—but you’re getting it either way.
Most of the idiots on forums like this only get replies from bottom-feeders like me. Anyone here who actually takes themselves seriously isn't going to waste their damn time engaging with them.
Look, let's be real here: this is a private forum. If the owner decides that you or I aren't welcome to post anymore, then we aren't posting. It doesn't matter if we like the decision or not—it’s their call, and that's that.
Yeah, look, the mod team messes up sometimes. It’s unbelievable, I get it, but they’re only human. Look, everyone deserves a second chance sometimes. They're allowed to mess up. Even from my own limited experience, they make fewer mistakes here than on those other trash forums.
You can tell exactly how much tolerance they have by the fact that this idiotic complaint wasn't tossed straight into the trash, and you didn't get slapped with a 1-3 day ban.
Do you even get what I'm saying? I'm telling you, seriously—go back and relearn the basics of American history.

Look, this is honestly pathetic. I’m going to be polite about it—as if I were auditioning for the Olympics or something—but just get lost. Go take your nonsense somewhere else and stop cluttering up the space meant for serious complaints and actual feedback.
Thanks. 🙂

Look, we aren't going to play this game of being vague about "how much for this" or "how much for that." Generally speaking, if someone starts throwing insults around, they’re looking at a ban starting from 45 points and up, depending on how the moderator decides to handle it. Sometimes it might be a bit lighter, but that's entirely up to their discretion. You clearly have a specific situation in mind, but honestly, without any links or actual context to go on, I have absolutely zero intention of getting into a debate about it. And hey, unless someone specifically called you out by name, just let the person who was actually targeted be the one to file the complaint.
