I once got like 2 months. That must be what you’re talking about.

shimmy

10/10/17 2:45pm

Was that a suspension or was that when you deleted your account?

crazY

10/10/17 2:46pm

It was a suspension for telling somebody to “eat crap” but I didn’t say crap.

suspensions are dumb, nearly all moderation is dumb, but the reason jefe

10/10/17 1:07pm

That would be a terrible idea. The mods wouldn't be able to keep up with the

benny1982

Are people giving the OP a thumbs up even considering how easy it would

benny1982

10/10/17 1:18pm

i'll be completely honest, if getting suspended weren't a thing, and my posts

smokymountainrain

10/10/17 1:21pm

Right, most people would probably behave the same, or at least very similarly,

benny1982

10/10/17 1:25pm

yup

smokymountainrain

10/10/17 1:33pm

Well the mods could make less work for themselves anyways by being less

IceCreamButt

That's a completely different issue.

benny1982

10/10/17 1:24pm

And to be clear, I'm not necessarily agreeing or disagreeing with you.

benny1982

10/10/17 1:26pm

My point was in response to your pointthey wouldn't be able to keep up on posts

IceCreamButt

10/10/17 1:44pm

But the only reason I said that was in context of the OP. So again, different

benny1982

10/10/17 1:45pm

Well maybe they could keep up in OP's context if they weren't so nitpicky.

IceCreamButt

10/10/17 1:53pm

Ha ha. A single poster could create hundreds of posts with the f-word in

They're usually responding to someone reporting a post. If people took this

My guess is I'd get less than a day now for responding to someone saying "touche" with

Toudhe? What language is that?

Florwood

10/10/17 1:21pm

1 week for posting in an unknown foreign language

1 minute for every year of the offender's age should be enough...

Yup, so wise....that was the rule in my home. I loved my 31-minute time-out

Disagree. Without a law and a punishment affixed, would a man fear to post

I think everybody should be a moderator.

With a report function, we all basically are.

Turnpike Lane
