Was I banned from General Gassing for saying the thing about people being c*nts or was it the Freddie Mercury joke or people being tw*ts or that thing about the guy in a wheelchair falling down an escalator?

Feedback: You should be more specific with your ban notices, otherwise people may be unsure of which awful post resulted in the ban. I say a lot of terrible things and sometimes it's hard to keep track. When issuing a ban, quote the post(s) or at the very least be more specific than 'you said something offensive'. It's just not enough. No problem with the ban but without knowing what it was for you're perpetuating a punishment system that's designed to fail.

hehe

It comes to something when you are so routinely offensive you don't know which post it's for!

the problem is in this world of snowflakes what maybe perfectly normal comments / vocabulary for your 'circle' may trigger some woke ideolog

Have you taken up recreational drugs recently? I'm sure you weren't so controversial when you mostly posted in BB tongue out

I guess I could argue that offence can only be received rather than given but that's a debate for another time and let's not forget that this a forum that appears to actively support members wishing death on someone because they do something slightly differently, so sometimes it's a little hard to know where the line is drawn smile

Agreed. Feedback should be specific, and at work I often use the incredibly simple but incredibly effective 'AID' technique:



Action
Emphasis is on their specific action, not on your interpretation of it.

Impact
The positive or negative impact the action had

Development or Desired Behaviour
What you'd like them to do differently in future

Why don't you post each joke separately on different threads and see which one you get banned from?

It's far from your first offence, nor your first ban.

Think of it as a "totting up" ban, and that it doesn't really matter which one of the instances of breaking the forum rules triggered it.

Perhaps use your time out to consider how better to moderate your posting.
