How is this post not getting banned immediately?

Let's break this down step by step:

Look, I didn't report yours. Honestly, I didn't even care that you got it. I definitely wouldn't have handed mine over for that, but my opinion doesn't count here.

Regarding the moderation...

You're such a coward.
Joined the forum and immediately started whining in the first discussion.

That’s a blatant insult. Actually, it's about as crude as it gets. In this context, being belittled is much worse than being exaggeratedly insulted. To put it bluntly, it would have been more tolerable if some vulgar user just called me a bitch.

Why are you talking trash in your own thread about how we're being taught to follow rules just to get punished?
You're getting penalized because you explicitly called me stupid, then tried to appeal it by claiming it was just "incapacity."

Blatant lies combined with verbal abuse ("talking trash"). I never actually stated she was stupid; I simply questioned whether she truly was that dense or just pretending to be. It wasn't a statement of fact—it was a question, leaving just enough room, however small, for her to prove otherwise. I know lying isn't a bannable offense under the site rules, but let's call it what it is: trolling. Add the insults to the mix, and there's your case.

So, you've learned that idiots and trolls always get away with it. They use sheer stupidity or act dumb to provoke smart people until they snap, and then the smart ones are the ones who take the hit.

This is the only coherent thing this user has said in the entire thread. Honestly, given her history of nearly 5,000 posts, I wouldn't be surprised if her whole posting history looks like this. If users were awarded points for accuracy, I'd insist she get one for this undeniable truth.

So, if we have moderator commentary, trolling, crude insults, and general verbal abuse, applying the following rules:

http://www.example.com/showpost.php?p=68970563&postcount=4

we reach a logical conclusion. Her account should have been suspended for at least seven days, though realistically, it should have been three weeks. Since that didn't happen, I have to ask—why?

Look, the user was given a warning on their second post. If we were going to grade every single post individually based on how much someone "contributes," you’d be looking at a much rougher time than she is. Plus, there's the whole reaction thing to consider. She actually took her reprimand like a champ—she admitted she went overboard and offered an apology—whereas you just kept stirring the pot and causing headaches. You really ought to look at this from a different perspective, so maybe keep that in mind for next time.
