No, just those who had fewer than 100 posts. The others get their posts edited instead.

Don't assume that anyone's nerves were gotten on. Humor was found and it was taken from there.

I'd like to turn this into a "people who assume they are offending are usually the sensitive ones" discussion.

There's nothing to debate. Don't be so sensitive.

Well if no one was offended or annoyed, why the heck were the two last night banned? Because they said they thought it was wrong to be gay and thus didn't want to associate with them and in some vague and likely nonexistant way that violates the TOS?

Have you tried PMing a supermoderator or the site owner?

Do you really care that much?

And do you think that anyone on here honestly believes that "bowsandtoes1000" wasn't just a new name for a previously banned poster?

No, I don't really care at all, it doesn't effect me. But to have that kind of reaction and then pretend that you're some great venue for discussion is absurd.

By all means, if you can support that. Seems to me like some people (including me I admit) are being flippant, some people are reading the facts, and others are putting on an air of self-righteousness.

Do you think it really matters? If so he clearly learned his lesson because nothing he posted was particularly offensive, much less over the top.

Apparently bowsandtoes wasn't available...it is a fairly common fraternity term after all, if the anti-hazing fanatics at your school haven't gotten to it yet.

Pledgetrainer, as long as you don't post patently offensive racist garbage, I think we'll be just fine.

99% of the people here have no clue what that term means, just fyi.

Well, then I'll do the brief on that.
