Weird. On another forum that I browse alot (not gaming related) a user was complaining pretty much for the same thing today (being called Ginger).

But yeah I find odd how this site is moderated. You can call someone else stupid and you probably won't get banned. Yet, somehow, calling someone else a fanboy is a bannable offense. I don't see anything offensive about the fanboy word.

this is just me talking and my opinion on it. but i really dont think the mods see fanboy as an offensive word. but they know if they allowed it every discussion would end with "you're just a huge fanboy". and users would use it to call out other users. it would pretty much kill discussion as people would just run around calling each other fanboys. so instead, the mods just say "yeah its offensive" and get rid of the word and lte discussion flow.

I guess it's possible. But on the early days of this site everybody was calling each other a fanboy and the discussions weren't really worse. I wouldn't say better neither.. at the end of the day is a pretty meaningless word so I find weird that is viewed almost as the ultimate offense on this site.
