I like having you around, Dudz. You're not "in our hair". It's just the subject matter, in this case. 

Most of the dialogue on here is inane banter, which is fine in portioned amounts, but tedious and pointless in large doses. The rest of the dialogue tends to be shallow opinions, which are poorly masqueraded as intellectual thought. It seems like I run into the same stupid cliches and debunked talking points, whenever I post something outside of the box, or when I post something with a large amounts of references. It is disappointing to think and write heavily on a topic, only for some idiot dickhead to post a drive-by response. This was also a problem on DDO, but at least you had enough non-idiot dickheads to post worthwhile things.

I thought most people came to sites like these to have interesting, intellectual conversations, of which the vast majority of people aren't capable of having irl (not to mention the social blowback). Instead, it's now clear that the majority of people on here (not all, to be fair) are here to waste everyone's time with half-baked posts, shallow opinions, inane activity, mafia and petty drama. Again, these things, to a small degree, help to keep a site interesting. But when the site is saturated in all this garbage, it defeats the purpose of a site like this. Nowadays, I think that a large proportion of the site has poor social skills, and the reason they come here is because irl socialising is too hard for them. 

I'm also not a fan of this moderation. Bsh seems to be doing a much better job, and I haven't seem much of Castin, but the mods before that were dreadful. I got banned out of nowhere, with no explanation, nor specification of how long it would be. I can't remember exactly how long it was (because I just stopped caring), but I remember attempting to log in like a month and a half after it happened, and was honestly shocked to see it work. That's poor moderation. This kind of incompetent moderation happen with other people, too. I've also seen some bloody inconsistent moderation, too, wherein some people have nine lives, whereas others have a gun to their head at all times. Airmax wasn't perfect, but he sure as hell was better than this, and it makes you realise how often he did get it right.

I might get an ironic banning, or perhaps this post will be deleted, but either way I don't care and it will only prove my points 

Yes. They are different. But they are still both directed attacks.

??? Can you elaborate this part???

Dude. Actually read the thread. The argument isn't that the post is fine, it's that it's being kept as "evidence."

A personal attack is saying something more in depth like, "Your a fucking fat whale shithead." That is more of a direct attack than calling someone a cunt because it is A) One word, B) vaguely describing someone. If I called someone an asshole or just said "Bitch.", it is not a direct threat

There is no minimum word requirement here.

Then what are you suggesting? what other mod action are you wanting to take for this

DELETE THE POST

I don't believe I ever said that. I don't delete posts because I am not in the business of censoring people, because it has been indicated to me that that was not what the community desired, and because the poster was punished--there doesn't seem to be much to gain from deleting the post. It's not causing anymore harm just sitting there than it did when Castin read it, unlike a post which doxxes or includes a link to a pornographic website, for example.

]Well, it seems to be moderation that is blamed for people not being happy. 

They did see wrong in the post. You aren't paying attention. It's kept here not because it was fine but as "evidence" because bsh1 now imagines him as being in an episode of CSI or some shit.

I'm not talking about banning anyone. Again, you're not paying attention.

It was a personal attack against a user with no other content whatsoever. It is a violate of the CoC with no mitigating factors. Unequivocally. It should be deleted.

This is a separate issue from banning anyone.
