How many epithets should one be allowed to hurl before being banned from the forum? Some posters are getting away with murder here.

The first ban may not have to be permanent, but those details could be worked out later.

I think aiming to limit topics is one thing; aiming to ban posters strikes me as extreme. If that represents what you want to propose, however, have at it and say what you will.

I especially like the "Zero" vote. So in order to stay on Dave's, you must bash at least once.

*beep* that. you can *beep* swear as much as you *beep* well feel like it, even call someone a *beep* or a *beep* and all is fine with the *beep* mods who many *beep* think do a *beep* poor job

the violations come when some *beep* try to *beep* with the swear filter and *beep* have their swears shown.

Let the swear filter do it's *beep* job and don't try to DODGE it. I swear as much as I *beep* feel like it, knowing full well that alls okay. It's the *beep* whose *beep* ego is so *beep* up that they think they are entitled to have their swears get past the filter. Well *beep* them.

I guess this epithet thing isn't going to actually work.

Sorry, mods, you are just going to have to work on each case individually.

I tried.

(Everyone, feel free to bash away now. But only at me, and only for this topic right now. Twisted Evil )

Edit: Better yet, go to the brand new Official Bashing Thread!
