"banned for abuse" is a general statement the covers a lot of ground and is open to interpretation.
the point of this topic is not necessarily about itude, but how cc handles things. so, yes, i think more detail is needed when people are muted or banned.
I talked to him as if he were Itude.
Why are you telling me it's Itude?
gotcha. didn't know that was you

Meh, I'll agree to disagree.
Itude as far as I know never said anything remotely offensive on the basis of sex, gender, ethnicity, or otherwise, besides common insults. But for whatever reason he was muted, it must have been a remotely valid one.
I got temporarily banned from posting here because I tried to swear and then kept trying milder and milder words, but apparently not mild enough. I don't know why it's not enough just to prevent us using those words.

Why would you ever swear?

adults occasionally use these words to express frustration, anger, or other emotions. other adults understand.

Bruh, no.
Have you ever been to middle school? Swearing isn't a thing there. If they say *BEEP* you or *BEEEEEEEPEPEPEPEPPEPEPEPPEEEEEPEPEEEP*, then it's not swearing. They use it in a normal conversation as if they weren't different from other words.

It’s incredibly annoying when they curse in every sentence!

Forget every sentence.
It's every other word.
Or every word sometimes.

Even more than every word, they'll curse with words in between the other words... turtles all the way down.
using curse words is not pathetic. adults regularly use certain terms in the course of a conversation. for example, i might write that your post is bulls***.
i'm not saying it is, but the expression applies at times.
if you stub your toe or drop and break a plate when washing the dishes, do you say, "oh, dagnabit"? if you do, that's fine. just don't pass judgement on those of us that use other words.

Sorry. You are correct, but excessive cursing can be a tad annoying.

I think this is the main point to make... humans use words to express themselves. Strong emotions require certain words... and if none exist, then a person will make up their own. It's a psychological necessity.
As a matter of course these words aren't for polite company, and kids have yet to learn social norms, so we have parents and teachers giving rules about language that are meant to be outgrown... and also I assume that while adults understand the necessity of vulgarity on an instinctive level, many are too stupid to understand it beyond that... so among certain groups it's preached that these words (and even those who use them) are somehow intrinsically bad... which is ridiculous.

If they don't go around and say the word is bad...
then what's the point of using the word in the first place?
Do we really need transparency in this particular case?
I (more than) half expect Itude is enjoying this. He gets to play the martyr, and even if half of him isn't playing, and he is hurt, he gains a cause to entertain himself... in fact I think this outcome is positive enough for him that he probably practically dared them to do it... so they did it. Ok. He can end it immediately. 6 month bans have always been a joke. All they want is an email.
this instance with iturd is just an example. rjc's post #51 is, unfortunately, accurate.
IF cc were transparent about why people are muted or banned, people like itude do not get to play martyr. and if cc makes a mistake, they should just own up to it.
It says he was banned for abuse (as opposed to cheating)... do you really need more detail, and is that really so hard to imagine?
If I had an account closed for abuse would it really be hard to imagine? No, it would just be, ok llama, sober up and apologize via email and that would be the end of it.
