What? The filter filters words. We give infractions. Look up the infraction info and read it. The sensoring has nothing to do with any auto ban.

They also get banned for filtering their own words, I did.

pulling a post at random from a random user then, something like this wouldn't warrant an infraction since the word filter was not evaded then?

Reading the forum rules might help answer some of your questions:

so as long as the filter isn't evaded, it's fine? This leads me to a few other questions, and I'm fairly certain you know what about...

Not necessarily. Posts that have a lot of cursing, even if it *'ed out is not appropriate behavior.

Why did I get an infraction for saying "Damn it"?

so back to that post I brought up that mysteriously vanished, which you refused to talk about in PMs.

There was one word. I'm utterly bewildered by what happened because of that post.

I did send Vulcan one when I got the infraction, and got no response.

In any case, I felt it was relevant to this topic as it deals with getting an infraction for inappropriate language.
