Forum:Personal Bans

When this block came to my attention, I remembered another forum which mentioned that there cannot be personal blocking by the admins. You cannot block a user simply because you found the word "fag" offensive, it turns out that other people weren't offended by it at all (especially considering the fact it was directed towards a video game character) and would not have issued a block had they found out first. Also, there have been other users using the word "fag" before (even a case of someone calling TMOI a "fag" directly), and no action has been brought up against them. Administrators blocking users simply because they do not like the user or personally found something offensive cannot be happening, it is biased and generally unfair.

On a side note, certain users have made pissing TMOI off a pastime and it appears they are doing this in an attempt to break him. This is a huge breach of COD:UTP and is a very major offense. Things like the following list of examples cannot be happening:


 * This is unnecessary, just because it was Dan's choice doesn't mean TMOI cannot remove it.
 * Oh come on. That's just being a dick. Where did it say you can't edit your own talk page?
 * That's called barracking, and it's very intimidating for anyone.
 * Comment: "course the user with the Soviet insignia thinks Obama is a good president." - flamebait

These sort of things really need to stop. It doesn't matter how annoying he is, he's user and COD:UTP applies to him as well. 22:16, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
