Don't forget @Shane Ricketts! I still miss that guy. Inherited his father's construction business, "Ricketts and Sons".
Had a weird obsession with the 90s sitcom "Saved by the Bell". Was a Kurt Warner enthusiast who was "always about the game".
Cornholed with him in Vegas of 2016. Got blackout drunk and said some really racist things. Really nice guy though.

I was recently suspended for making a comment about people essentially politically pooing in the Thai Cave thread. seemed benign relative to the political pooing... but whammo (granted, it was a baby over-night suspension). was that because of the specific word choices? is poo ok? but hashtag censored word not? do we have to say bowel movement? too risque? I have a few more posts than the OP but still apparently have no idea how this place works sometimes.

don't think it was the language. think it was someone misunderstanding the intent/meaning of your post.
"So now's a perfect time to drop trow and take giant dumps in here. "
(that got you 6 hours, fwiw)

like I said- baby suspension.
but
... was it a mod who misunderstood, or did one of my fellow posters actually get offended at that?
wasn't reported as far as I know, but I'm sure other posts in the thread were so you may have been collateral damage when someone was cleaning it up.like I said- baby suspension.

Lots of people around here have more than one alias, including many of our most esteemed posters.
Calling out one person isn't really conducive to a civil board.

I think someone who still posts here despite posting so much garbage they were banned is not conducive to a civil board.

Footballguy
If they're still posting garbage, I agree.
But people mature as they get older and hopefully wiser, and it's a process that takes time and doesn't happen overnight.
It's good to give them a chance to do that and not keep dredging up the past.

I banned him from my email inbox for a month, 4 days and 3 hours for that comment he made about McCoy.
You hate the Lions and have no interest in critiquing coaches' decision making?

And I thought I was NotSmart.thanks @Eminence
You know, I used to really not like lhucks... but still I would always read his posts, then get aggravated by them, then reply to him.
Now... I realize I was just wasting my time and also dumping a little more unneeded negativity onto the board.
Anyway, GL.
If you go to the Melania thread you can literally see a conservative poster complaining to Joe the day before I was suspended (and Joe telling him that he couldn't track everything and that the poster should forward anything he thinks is offensive), but yeah, sure.
Looking at the log, you got suspended for
To answer your question, don't post anything remotely close to that again.

Instantly Bannable Offenses
These offenses can result in temporary forum suspensions or permanent bans. If you get a warning, heed it!
Insults. Direct personal insult of another forum member (e.g., "You are an idiot.") and other name-calling. Why? Because this isn't grade school. People should be able to discuss or even dispute other's posts without insulting people. You may dispute somebody's opinion but not attack/flame the person who stated it. There are a lot of other non-direct-personal insults that won't necessary get you banned instantly, but depending on the context/nature may lead to post editing, post deletion, warnings, or time-outs. They include telling people to shut up, describing a member as an ignorant person (rather than ignorant about a particular topic), and being extremely or repeatedly rude or sarcastic. It's not your place to tell other users they are not welcome; if they follow the rules, they are welcome. Bottom line -- don't try to tick off others and don't make discussions unnecessarily personal. If somebody else insults you, report their post; their post does not give you a license to break the rules by returning their insults. Although we do not read Private Messages sent between forum members, the rules for appropriate and inappropriate content apply to them as well.
Harassment. Purposely intimidating a particular member, harassing them, sending them rude or unwanted private messages, etc. This includes personal attacks on moderators for doing their jobs.
Threats. Any threat or intimation of a threat.
Registration rules. Violation of the rules you agreed to when registering for the site: that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.
Multiple registration. You may register only one account. Reinstatement of banned or cancelled accounts can come only from an administrator.
Hoaxes. Purposely misleading other members to their detriment. Giving advice you know to be incorrect or harmful. Sensationalism.
Trolling. Do not post in order to anger other members or intentionally cause negative reactions. For a given post, this can be a subjective call, but a pattern of such posting or an especially egregious case will get you banned.
Advertising/soliciting/self-promotion
Your purpose in joining MacRumors or posting should not be to promote, advertise, or otherwise call attention to your site, blog, product, or business. See this page if you want to advertise at MacRumors.
Self-promotion is not fair to our paid advertisers. Forum posts should be free of ads and promotions that benefit the poster. Legitimate recommendations and requests for help are permitted, but in ambiguous circumstances users without a previous forum track record will not be given the benefit of the doubt.
Rules:
Advertising. Using the forums for advertising, site or product promotion, or for business deals and offers. You may not make posts to promote commercial, personal, or not-for-profit websites, products, or services. Threads will be deleted if their purpose is to advertise, announce, or promote products, services, or organizations, build traffic at other websites, carry out business activities, or for similar purposes that do not benefit our forum community.
Shilling. If you pretend to be a consumer who recommends your own product(s) or favors your own product(s) over others, without admitting your affiliation, you will be banned. Vendors who post in threads only to criticize a competitor's product while promoting their own will also be banned.
Soliciting. You may not use the forums to solicit donations, votes, or participants for surveys, contests, petitions, or product testing. Employment requests/offers are limited to the Marketplace forum and subject to the Marketplace Rules.
Self-promotion. Self-promotional links to your blog, video channel, product, business, etc. are limited to your forum signature and your Personal Details, even if you have a wonderful and useful site, blog, product, or business.
Memberships created solely for these purposes will be banned.
Exceptions:
Developers of Mac OS X and iOS software are afforded special privileges, including certain posting of product promotions. See Guidelines for Software Developers for details.
Users may embed YouTube videos in their forum posts, using the media tag as long as it suits the thread discussion and their purpose for posting is not self-promotion.
Established users may post links to answers, reviews, or videos that answer specific questions from other users, even if it's their own site, as long as they don't use the forums primarily for such posts. New users without a history of other forum participation should not post self-links since it will be considered to be advertising/promotion.
As a representative of a vendor business you may post about your company or products or services when the following 5 conditions apply:
You have made your vendor affiliation clear in the Occupation and Home Page fields in your Personal Details page and setting "View your details on your profile page" to "All visitors" on your Privacy page.
You are posting about Apple-related hardware, software, accessories, or services.
You represent, work for, or own a manufacturing, wholesale, distribution, or retail business (including software vendors).
You are replying to forum posts to answer questions when your product/service is particularly relevant to the question. Example: Your company or product was mentioned by name or your product suits a specific requirement being discussed.
The purpose of the post is to help forum members, not merely to benefit your organization.
Vendors must not use these privileges to
repeatedly mention their products in general discussion threads, even those about their market area
start threads to discuss, promote or advertise their business, products, or services
"badmouth" competing companies or products
use the forums to carry out business operations, e.g., solicit feedback, provide customer service, announce special deals, promos, or new products
Things Not to Do
These habits can produce warnings and repeated violations can produce bans.
Inappropriate posting in a debate. The Rules for Appropriate Debate apply when users disagree with each other. We insist on a certain level of respect and civility toward other users, even when your viewpoints differ, and prohibit posts that attack posters personally or serve only to anger others (see "trolling" above).
Frivolous and one-word posts. Such posts waste everyone's time and will be deleted. Examples includes posts with only one or two words (e.g., "cool", "LOL", or a smilie), posts celebrating being the first post in a thread, posts saying "I agree", "+1", "this", "me too", or the equivalent, posting overused memes, or making posts with images or videos that contain no relevant, constructive text or commentary. If you aren't interested in a thread, skip the thread; don't post to tell us you aren't interested.
Overposting. Making the same post many times, making multiple pointless posts in the same thread, making numerous posts with no real content, or posting for the purpose of gaining a higher post count.
Reposting. Please don't repost entire articles from other sites. To initiate a discussion about an article, post a link to the article, quote a bit of it if you like, and include your own comments or questions so people know why you think it's worthy of discussion.
Referral links and pyramid schemes. MacRumors does not condone multi-level marketing schemes (e.g. free iPods or Macs if you refer X number of people). Members who post referral links to these or other sites will have their posts/signatures edited and may be warned. New members who post solely for this purpose will be subject to bans under the Advertising rule.
Off-topic posts. Off-topic posts will be deleted/edited. If you keep doing it see "Repeated problems" below. Threads and posts on controversial political, religious, and social issues are to be limited to the Politics, Religion, Social Issues forum, and made only by those eligible for that forum. Some news threads are placed in that forum, as explained in the Rules for the Politics, Religion, Social Issues forum.
Instructing other members to search. Instructing members to search themselves for an answer or responses such as LMGTFY ("Let me google that for you") are experienced as rude and condescending. We don't have an issue with people linking to Google search results, although we prefer that members also link to a specific page that addresses the question being posed. A few words explaining how you got your search results makes your response even more helpful.
Warez/Serials/Keys. Do not post software serial numbers or keys or refer people to specific websites, software, or techniques whose purpose is to break or bypass software licensing methods, distribute cracks, or obtain or use commercial software or media in violation of its license and/or for copyright violation. Do not ask for or give such help.
Shared accounts. Accounts are to be used by only one person, and not shared between family members, friends or any other people. Registration is free, so there is no reason not to create a unique account for each person. You are responsible for any posts made with your account.
Profanity. The profanity filter is there for a reason. Do not circumvent it by using the language we intend to exclude or disguising those words. If a word is replaced by asterisks when you Preview or Submit a post, you know it's on the list.
Selling outside the Marketplace. All threads offering items for sale or trade or for free, or asking to buy or receive items must be posted in the Marketplace forum, which is accessible only to qualified members and subject to additional rules; see the Marketplace Rules for details. Members not eligible for the Marketplace forum may not start threads elsewhere for such purposes.
Don't discuss blocking ads on the site.
Repeated problems. Any ongoing actions that make more work for the moderators and administrators or regularly annoy other members and require moderator action. We have hundreds of thousands of forum members to serve and can't spend a disproportionate amount of time dealing with problems caused by any one member. If your membership is an ongoing detriment to our community then your membership may be terminated.
Minor Problems
Chattiness. Use the forums to discuss the topic of the thread, not as a substitute for Instant Messaging.
One thread. Do not post a thread more than once. Post a new thread in the proper forum. If the topic is relevant to more than one forum, pick the best fit or most specific forum and post it only once.
One post. Do not post multiple messages with the same content. One post in the most appropriate thread is sufficient.
Signature size. Signatures may not be over 4 lines in height. Signatures may not be more than 200 characters and spaces in length, not counting BB codes, and at most 400 characters including the tags. They should not have blank lines or lines consisting solely of punctuation (dashes, equal signs, etc.), or use forum features, such as "INDENT" and "QUOTE" tags, that produce unnecessary vertical space. We recommend using a single paragraph, without linebreaks.
Avatar and signature content. Avatars and signatures, as well as other profile fields, must comply with all forum rules, including those against profanity, explicit sexual content, insults against groups or individuals, referral links, and cannot be in other ways offensive. Members will be required to change avatars or signatures that are deemed too controversial or that are particularly annoying or distracting to other members. Note that signatures may include links to your own site or business as long as you do not make posts whose purpose is to call attention to your signature.
Simulated signatures. Signatures must be set on your Forum Signature page and not simulated within posts, so that other members can choose whether or not to display them. You may not use automated software such as FoxyTunes Signatunes to insert content into your posts. You may use a salutation, i.e., put your name or user name at the bottom of your post.
Bumps. Posts that bring a thread to the top of the New Posts list but add no content to the thread (bumps) are not permitted. This applies not only to posts that say "bump" but to those with the intent to bump, e.g. posts saying "anyone?" or the equivalent. See why and how to avoid bumping.
Corrections. There is no need to point out another poster's spelling or grammatical errors unless you think it is causing confusion. Remember that not all members are native English speakers. Communication, not correctness, is our goal. Examples: Don't correct members who spell Mac in all caps or who call the iPod touch an iTouch. When other people (especially new members) fail to search and start new threads on old topics, don't scold them or make them feel unwelcome. The best way to be helpful is by posting a link to a relevant thread or specific instructions for problem solving. Set a good example yourself by searching first before starting a thread if you have a question that may already have been answered in the forums or you want to discuss a topic that may already have been discussed.
Sequential posts. We ask that you try to avoid making multiple posts in a row within a few minutes of each other, if you can avoid it, as a courtesy to other users. You can use the Multi-Quote feature (see explanation) to reply to multiple posts at once or you can edit your previous post to add new information.
**** is an English-language site, so we ask that posts in the forums be written in English.
Common sense. In the end, use common sense. When you are about to post messages just to increase your post count, or post something you think is funny at someone else's expense, think to yourself "Is this annoying?" If the answer is yes, don't do it.

Is MacRumors the place to find out when the McRib is coming back?
Oh, I know exactly what I was suspended for. I didn't dare repost it because I didn't want to get clipped again.
Anyway, I think I've been pretty clear in this thread that I'm not upset with you. I disagree with the standard you applied (particularly the harshness of the punishment), but you're the mod and I appreciate the work you do and hey, sometimes we won't agree on stuff.
Looking through the rules that @eoMMan helpfully posted (and assuming those are official), it would seem my post was considered "obscene, vulgar or sexually oriented." Again, I would have drawn the line elsewhere, but at least now I have a better idea. (Though ironically, if I had written "Many people are saying Trump let prostitutes pee on him," it would have been the same content but instead of a joke, I would have been describing an actual story that's been in the news for the past year. Oh, the times we're living in!)
Again, your board and your call, but in my experience the best way to enforce forum rules is to give people the tools to police themselves. Spell the rules out, make sure people can find them, and then when someone violates one point them to the specific rule. Saves everyone a lot of time, yourself included.

Quick thing - Those aren't our rules he posted. Looks like they're from a Mac developer forum or something. I think he's joking with you. But bottom line, thank you for the above. We won't always agree and that's ok. Thank you for understanding and your attitude there.Oh, I know exactly what I was suspended for.

Ah, now I see. I read the first part and then skimmed, but looking at those rules more closely, I guess I should have noticed all the references to Macs

If it's in the political forum.....NEVER go against the grain. Kind of like in "Midnight Express" when they are walking in circles in the insane asylum. Go with the flow and support the left and you will be golden

i got clipped for a week by posting in the cooking thread a loose inspiration for grilled chicken breasts from giada's physical attributes. been here about 20 yrs and i have a tendency to be snarky and not so PC many times, but a week for my post seemed over the top. i didn't ask for an explanation, just figure i'll speak here like i'm in church going forward.

Similar thing just happened to me. I get it - "not my board, not my rules", but I'll just echo Chemical X that it makes this place a lot less fun and diminishes interest in contributing.
