I think was the metaphor. I’ve used some choice language whn being political here and not been slapped, but i’ve never quite gone into the territory of elbow metaphors!

There is always a reason but they are sometimes stupid reasons, bans are not always deserved.

That’s what I thought, but I could be surprised!
First world problems…
Somebody called ion a loser. Life changing offensive humiliating word. Lets ban everyone…

If posts are flagged for no reason, it is my understanding that a moderator will review and no ban or silence will be given in this case. So if I am wrong in this then I will apologise, but if it is reviewed and a ban/silence given, then I say it was deserved and people should re-read the posts they made and see why.

Odd, we’re looking into the reason attachment on silences 
I make no comment on the action itself, nor do I want this thread to turn into “Rejuvithorn Reviews,” but you were silenced for masking swearwords with numbers to bypass the swear filter.

It’s hilarious that the link for appeals has the word “solution” in it, when the solution at the end is always a copy-pasted response that doesn’t remotely address what the issue was about while the ticket is closed and marked as “solved”

Just engage in that classic British past-time of using regular words and innotation to dennote your intentions, without being obviously offensive. Ie Plank.
Really? For that?!
If you’re going to silence me, at least do it for the big one 
, but thank you for clarifying.

You’re now going to be investigated, having alerted Rejuvithorn to your misdeeds!

Thanks for actually talking to us though 'juvi, most moderators would just close the topic, ban us all for discussing moderation and call it a day.

I deleted the post, there is no evidence of my misdeed!
Seriously though I don’t want to have to go through the silence again. Still don’t understand why that’s why it got flagged when so many people do it so regularly (the masking swears, not the elbow thing. I deserved it for that)

That is painfully common on forums sadly…

Giving feedback during BfA alpha was like talking to a brick wall.
They have admitted this and are doing better now. Case closed.
Have a nice vacation.

You don’t know whether those other people also got silenced for it though…

Normally when a post is flagged it is withdrawn though isn’t it? But fair point, from now on I shall use {redacted} as opposed to leetspeak or asterisks, or as Telestrian said use less explicit language.#
I’ll shut up now and let the OP carry on lecturing us on how not being able to be a {redacted} is infringing on freedom of speech.

Yeah, there are a lot of people who complain that their posts are flagged/removed or that they were silenced because of their contraversial opinion, but when you look at the post there is often masked swearing. I’d guess it’s pretty common, but if silences are short you might not notice that the person is absent for a few hours.

I was engaged in the discussion Re: Boris on a different char and I wasn’t silenced. Then again my post didn’t mention elbows being put in places.

Only way I know for certain a post gets flagged is if other people flag it for moderator review.
I’m not sure if it’s flagged if a moderator just happens to read through a forum thread on a “patrol”, and then silences you for it.
