I shouldn't have been banned.

[Dezcaban]

not everyone would know it was an edgar allen poe reference

to everyone else it's just a trolling attempt

[Ad Bot]

[Thar]

to be fair, Poe does have some relatively questionable texts

But its literature!

He wasn't trolling.
I think we have a reporting suspect

I never reported Night Fox. He said he was trolling in the OP.

...he didn't break any rules

I never reported Night Fox. He said he was trolling in the OP.

he said "if he was trolling the OP would have noticed" not "i was trolling and the op didn't notice".

[Night Fox]

everyone saying trolling is against the rules: it isn't. it's not just "unwritten," either. there are people who are actually doing it, but don't ever get banned for it. like Tony. that said, I really don't understand why I was banned at all

I never reported Night Fox. He said he was trolling in the OP.

um

he was the guy I'd have been trolling, if I was in the first place

Oh

[Böltster]

if it's a reference, have some indication that it's a reference (abbr tags or something)

whenever you post something like that you're running the risk of having people not understand and take it negatively - that's enough grounds for a ban imo. reference your references.

This doesn't come as a surprise to me, seeing how I was banned for posting a chat log from a server.

[Nickelob Ultra]

I don't understand what he was banned for to begin with.  Being too grotesque or something?  I mean we have posts that are far worse in nature, I don't see how this is like "crossing the line".

I suppose. but I did mention it later. soon enough after that nobody with a decent screen would need to scroll down to see it

[Freek]

I think even the OP understood,

Yeah I understood and I think the ban was a bit extreme.

[Lalam24]

I'd love to see you get a much larger ban, to be frank.

[Night Fox]

I honestly don't know what it is you have against me

it could have fallen under this rule
