So if someone says things I discuss/do here are uninteresting to them, does that count as flame baiting?
If they say "Why don't you post something interesting? You never do." Then sure, it could be seen that way. Although, that's not what you did, you said that about the discussions of an entire group of people.

Saying I find the discussions of a group of people when I do not know what the other stuff they discuss is at worst dumb. Like I said, it is not like I called them of the stuff they discuss stupid or something else. The post was at worst poorly worded and then misinterpreted due to poor wording.
Let put it this way...
What I said: "Discuss something interesting, you bronies never do."
What I meant to say: "I find the things that have been discussed lately in this chat thread are interesting to me, please discuss something that is interesting to me, people that chat here often."
What people seem to act like I said: "Everything bronies discuss is stupid."

That's why I said it's borderline. It's not blatantly insulting, but when you read it, it does sound like it was meant maliciously more than anything else.
No one who reads it is going to assume it was a genuine question "why don't you talk about something interesting". Obviously they think what they're talking about is interesting, and asking a question like that just gives the tone that you're trying to indirectly insult them and their interests, and then the second part where you said "you bronies never do" just makes the tone worse, and it's more direct.
The word "ass" can't be censored (unless the filter is tweaked) because then a few words that use that (e.g, assassin, assume, etc.) will be half filtered.
If you actually gave infractions to every person in OT that has said that or other borderline profanity, half of OT would be suspended.
People we see using it will usually get an informal infraction first, then if they're caught using profanity after that, they'll get a formal infraction, normally 2 points. Unless they purposely evade the profanity filter, in which case they'll just get a formal infraction right away.

I still wonder why Kata gave Tucking_Fypo an infraction for saying "ass"...
Care to explain that, Kata?

Retired StaffBecause profanity is against the rules (so you should probably stop using it).
Yet that word is not censored.
First use is informal.
All after are for points.
If you actually gave infractions to every person in OT that has said that or other borderline profanity, half of OT would be suspended.
