I think banning them for 3 to 6 months was what Fandom staff usually does for deliberately violating the Fandom's TOS policy on slur words based on what Antvasima said a while back when Dragomer did the same thing.

I think that Kepekley was banned for 2 months by Fandom for quoting another member that used the n-word.
Anyway, as far as I understand, certain African-Americans use the n-word ending with "a" as an internal slang term between themselves, whereas many others find it offensive in that context as well, and it does not seem to have been used as an insult here, so maybe a 1 or 2 months block would be sufficient, given the lack of previously caused problems from this member?

Also, this is technically a vulgar death threat, although likely used in an insincere, if meanspirited, manner. A temporary block seems in order here as well.
I would appreciate further staff input regarding both of the above issues.

Meh I mean we don't know Kardashev's race, and it's a blatant bypass regardless since we literally don't allow the message to be posted.
DDM's suggestion for us echoing FANDOM's policies seem accurate

I agree with DDM. There is no need for that kind of language on here.

So, clarification needed. If it is used as a slang word, with no malicious intent, would a person get banned/warned, etc?
- 31,208
- 27,406
Yes, they'd get banned. Just don't use the word.

Just a recap, what happened was that TimmyQuivy was the main observer among Fandom staff at the time. And he actually banned Kepekley permanently. But when he got replaced with a different fandom staff; the other fandom staff member agreed that that was far too extreme and reduced it to 2 months. PaChi was also once permabanned by Timmy just for testing the script, but when shared the details, it was reduced for like a week or two but told us to inform the community to avoid attempting to test the script.
Now back to the main topic, it's not so much for using the word and he may not have been using it for malicious intentions such as racial context, but he still attempted to bypass a filter that 100% was in his face which is a blatant ignorance issue. And for that, a short ban as a precaution before other Fandom staff may give one that could potentially be too harsh is necessary. So 3 months for the slur word filter bypass is good to me as I said.

I would like to report @XXKINGXX69 for the following reasons:
- Commonly insults people as he's losing a debate, sometimes even claiming that his opponent knows nothing about the verse in question or that literally everyone in a debate but him is unreliable (because they disagreed with him), this after explicitly targeting certain users in the same thread. Most extreme example of this is literally reporting someone for disagreeing with his CRT after losing a debate.
- Sir Ovens has warned him about this behavior, so it cannot be assumed he's unaware that he's being annoying/unpleasant in the newer examples.
- Speaking of being warned, replying to criticism with "your mom" jokes is something he was also warned about, yet keeps doing.
- Speaking of insults, here's a good one, once again, prompted by KING losing a debate.
- Claims a character has a Low 2-C feat, then goes back on it, claiming it to be a joke, then makes a similar claim again but then goes back on it again, claiming he just heard of it, which is the most blatant trolling I've ever seen.
- Afterwards, threatens to make a 3-A profile for the verse anyway despite having lost the debate.
- Note that he has claimed characters are certain tiers then gone back on it claiming it to be a joke on other occasions too. Here's another example.
- Upon one of his threads being rejected and locked, he immediately makes it again without even acknowledging the reasons it was rejected.
- Makes incredibly extraordinary claims in a thread and constantly refuses to bring up additional proof or scans when requested to by like, five people, most of them staff.
- In fact, he makes a lot of threads without bringing up any scans. Or evidence at all, really.
- Crashes a random, peaceful conversation about Sentry comics by saying, completely unprompted, that "Sentry's ass and Batman is better".
- Stonewalls debates pretty often.
- Insults Confluctor and Marvel fans, which I think was meant to be a joke but really falls flat all things considered, this being another example of making pseudo-jokey insults after losing a debate. Here's a similar one.
- Generally has an issue with making very unfunny jokes during debates. Obviously some levity during Vs Debates and even CRTs is perfectly fine but again, this constantly puts an halt to discussions without any benefit and is often a little unpleasant or insulting, to the point that he's been warned for it.
- He also has a fixation with asking for scans about the most random stuff, including things that literally cannot have scans, even just personal opinions or interpretations of statements. I think this is his idea of a joke, at least sometimes, but again, it's very annoying, pointless trolling and just halts a debate to a screeching halt. Sometimes, the scans have even been posted already.
- As a reminder, here's another example of him making weird claims without providing a hint of evidence, and here's another of him making a claim and then admitting he doesn't actually know the character in question.

His behavior has always been kinda bad. Several small things do pile up to become big. He needs to clean up his act. A month or two should be fine for now and we can see where it goes from there imo.

They have received warnings, not sure if specifically here.
Edit: KING has been officially warned here already.

Hmm. He seems to be spreading a general bad mood in this community. I think that an at least 6 months long ban may be necessary.

Honestly, it is rare someone is so bad I actuall straight up avoid debates with them, but King is there with his stonewalling and insults honestly
