The * letter
The * letter
So moderators, entice my curiosity. I once received an official warning for using the abbreviation 'OM*G' in a sentence. I used my * in a third-person context if I recall correctly (a.i. not aimed at anyone), and [url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/the-elder-scrolls-iv-oblivion-81/how-cool-would-that-be-94779.html"]this person[/url] that just posted a thread uses it directly in his or her username. How would you respond to that?
[INDENT]'..tolerance when fog rolls in clouds unfold your selfless wings feathers that float from arabesque pillows I sold to be consumed by the snow white cold if only the plaster could hold withstand the flam[url="http://bit.ly/foT0XQ"]e[/url] then this fountain torch would know no shame and be outstripped only by the sun that burns with the glory and honor of your..'[/INDENT]

The poster in your link used a l33t version of "Oblivion for the world." I don't see any asterisks on my screen in his logname. What are you seeing?
As for OM*G, I don't know why you'd get a warn for that. Did you write back to the mod who sent it at the time, to ask them why?

To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
Actually - FTW is "for the win", not "for the world".
OMFG is an abbreviation for the "f" word as in the profanity. Not comparable to the thread in question.
Also - if having questions about moderating, PMing a moderator or Buck would usually provide response, other then pulling out some other thread.
If wondering if a thread/post violates forum rules, then the report button is usually the way to go.
I'm closing this thread for now.

Just a head's up: I googled FTW, and Tricky probably thought it meant, shall we say, "shag the world." In context, I think "for the world" was meant, given the tone of wide-eyed enthusiasm from the poster, though "for the win" is good, too. "Shag the world" makes no sense in the poster's name, given the context of his/her comments.
In all other respects, though, I agree with you. REPORT is the way to go, though I suspect Tricky got upset at seeing what he considered a lack of uniformity in rules enforcement. Understandable.
Closing the thread again.
