Jamesb1, you are right in saying that some people believe that bampot is a swearword; however, no one on that chat believed it was a swearword or was offended by it. Rules should be flexible, and people should only get into trouble for doing things that actually cause harm. Actions and, indeed, words. should be judged by their effect and their intent, not by what a list of rules dictates.

Noreplyz, if my memory serves me correctly, only one user told me not to use the word and one user asked me why I was using the word. The said users did not explain why they wanted me to stop, so I did not stop, although I did start to use it less. Does not listening to the instructions of one user warrant a six-month ban?

Furthermore, you banned me after I had left the chat without any warning, and no one informed me that what I was doing was wrong or told me that they were offended.

Isn't that unfair?
