Mostly just curious about "The Escapist" in general, but out of all the other websites I've noticed, the moderators here are probably some of the strictest ever when it comes to what is and isn't ok to post. That being said, I like that.
On gamefaqs or other places, you'll see people reply with "LOL" or "FAG NOOB" but if you were to just reply with that here, you might get a suspension or probation. I guess it's because the moderators want to create a more intelligent internet forum than the average game site.
That being said, where is the line drawn? If you were to go to the extreme, and say start a forum with random letters and say something along the lines of the aforementioned quotes, then you'll probably get a probation and the topic will be deleted. But, is there really no such thing as a stupid question here, or are there certain questions that if asked will earn you a probation?
Ultimately, this is a "where is the line drawn?" question, and I'd like people to try and come up with creative examples of things that would get you suspended. For fun, I guess.
(Saying something general like "Shouting random racial slurs" would be fine, but typing specific slurs wouldn't be a good idea. So, I guess I'm looking for very general ideas that WON'T get anyone banned if talked about, but in general context... Yeah.)
