You aren't allowed to insult other members on these forums, and we've deemed fanboy an insult so you aren't allowed to direct it at people here. Personally I think it's fine because I've never seen someone insult someone else in a thread and though "wow that was a really coherent and well thought out point". Never seen it actually add to the discussion.
So there you go, the word itself is not banned, but you can't direct it towards other users just like I can say idiot but I'm not allowed to describe another user as an idiot. |
Yet people are allowed to insult people constantly onsite by inference which is shit. Either you take a hard line or you don't, I'm sick of being insulted and a blind eye turned because someone doesn't explicitly say it. And reporting does nothing about these situations.

I'd be curious to see an example and then I'll let you know my thoughts on the post.

Hmm, I think I've seen some of those posts but I think a lot of them got moderated anyway. I think sometimes it's about whether or not they get caught or whether the comment can actually be said to be implying what the user thinks it is.
However, it's possible to be, in a way, insulted directed even though the comment itself isn't direct. For example, I made someone upset because I did not agree with their opinion and was vocal about it. This person is in another thread and references the previous post and makes the "inference" mentioned by slowmo using a previous conversation from another thread.
