However, I will ask this: Why is foul language a greater offense on your Wikia than intentional major vandalism? I'm not trying to free myself with this question, I just don't understand the logic behind this policy. We have three types of vandalisms - Light, Moderate and Vulgar. Light vandalism is basically rewriting content falsely. Moderate vandalism refers to people removing many paragraphs or just everything. Vulgar vandalism is just using foul language to offend people. To make it more clear: LeMansRacer did the banning policy in accordance to high vandalism activity in the NFS Wiki when it wasn't as big as it is today. This policy allowed us to get rid of most vandals for a longer time since most of them just inserted curse words everywhere. As we no longer have high vandal activity, the logic of the banning policy is admittely not justifiable. I'll try to bring this up in our site reorganisation blog series.

Your previous ban time is another thing that concerns me. LeMansRacer has a great dislike towards users that do not abide by the site's rule, but that doesn't mean he can just ignore the policy. I'll try to talk to him about it in the upcoming blog post.

Thanks for clarifying. I may get back to the wiki, but since it has so many preventive measures (I've heard of people getting banned for inserting correct info without reference), I'm most likely stay out of editing.
