According to his profile, he used explicit, obscene and vulgar language.
Is it me or does that seem stupid, given the nature of a lot of posters here? Disclaimer: It's not acceptable, funny or witty to say "It's you". It makes you look stupid.
BackFire is about as obscene and vulgar as anyone gets, but he is a global. I've received death threats publically before and the person didn't get banned for it, or warned for that matter.
I think the morals for banning are a little inconsistent here.

Ceterum censeo OTF esse delendam.
No mod thought it was worth a warning (much less a ban) when someone was publically threatening my life (albeit laughably) and throwing vile abuse at me, yet it's appropriate for Bardock to get banned because he has such a deadpan humour (which is exactly what it is, he's not a vulgar person with any real malice.)? I'm sorry, but that's bullshit.
The bottom line is simple in my opinion, Storm. Either the moderators should adhere to the rules unquestionably, or those who cannot or will not, simply shouldn't be mods.
If you allow mods to go around banning or not banning people off the back of subjective morals, then what's the point in having actual forum rules? I think it's common knowledge that a certain mods remain mods because of who they are, not what they do. So it's f*cked from the start.
My real question is this: There is a clear and concise set of KMC rules, and I would assume that we cannot pick or choose which ones we, as posters, follow. So why should mods be allowed to pick and choose which ones they ban for?
