In mod’s defense, this is a tough site to mod. Everybody pushes the rules as far as they can and frequently the mods have to make tough calls very fast. The rules get messy precisely because they actually are pushed to the breaking point.

Let us cite, for example, iRawr. Every so often, Bingebot 2015 will come into IDC to discuss some serious game issue. Once when he did, ILOVEJIZZ was in there spamming up his usual “BAWWWWWWWW GIVE ME 3BP BAWWWWWWWWWWWWW”. BB wanted to talk about dom with a few users. Bingebot said “stop or I ban”, ILOVEJIZZ didn’t stop, and bingebot banned. It was warned and it was warranted. h0g’s spamming directly resulted in a necessary repair to IDC. Not saying they’re completely different, but they are situational.
