I suspect so - he's been here more than long enough to know you can't go saying that kind of stuff (outside the soapbox at least, and even then it's going to depend on context).
I voted "abuse / troll" based on the message content.
I suspect Chris might listen to an appeal for clemency from the OP, if he is contrite enough - but at least kicking off the site shows how unacceptable it is.

I'm quoting here something different. The word which i'm trying to highlight is not at all acceptable. It's clearly equivalent to M**** F**** in Hindi.

...if you find something abusive, ... you can report it here so others can review and report (and hence close) if necessary.

This forum exists so abusive and/or spammy behaviour could be reported. Your suggestion goes against the very purpose of the existence of the spam and abuse watch forum.

Then why is there a Report option on the message itself if you'll also have to come here and report it?
And you missed this forum rule:
Quote: If you catch an author plagiarizing, please close the article and report and close the account, unless the author is a very active member who has otherwise behaved themselves
From what I could tell, this member has been a contributing member of the site.
I think it is nuts to ban someone from the site for getting into a heated discussion. I guess I'm just too nice of a guy.

You might want to read that rule again.

You're right, surely it only applies to plagiarizing and can't be extended to other misuses.

It's only mentioned on the plagiarism rule. If you think it should apply to other cases of abuse, then you should start a discussion about that in Bugs & Suggs.

So, you're basically questioning the existence of this forum. I suppose you'll have to ask Chris about that, but I think it's to report repeat offenders/extreme cases (like the one who just was kicked out), spammers, etc. that may otherwise slip through the system.

We're not talking about plagiarization, or an article author here.

If asking programming questions in the General Indian Topics Forum repeatedly and telling off people who suggested it's not appropriate counts as contributing, then yes. I'm not going to go into the details, but if you've not been participating regularly in the GIT, then you may not have the full context here.

I'd probably agree with you if I didn't have the context (as said above), but I still do agree with you that Chris might reinstate the account if the OP asked him politely and was apologetic about their behaviour and past offences.

No, not at all.
The problem is I see too many people who think they own CodeProject and come here and try to get people kicked off for doing one little thing wrong. Too many people abuse this forum.
Rajesh R Subramanian wrote: We're not talking about plagiarization, or an article author here.
And you don't think the same common sense can be extended to someone who offended you?

I don't know about all of that - I came here today, and only did so because I was "mentioned" on one of the posts here, which sent me a notification.

I'm struggling to see your point here, given that I have little control over what someone else might find as offensive or decide to report. As stated in another post, I basically laughed off the abusive posts because I found it hilarious that the OP had no point to make and resorted to personal attacks.

Did you ask yourself at least once, why this specific member got reported out of 13,677,764 members?
011111100010 wrote: Too many people abuse this forum
Can you please show me at least 5 such members? I'd be more than happy to make efforts to prevent it (probably by discussing with Admins).
If it would have been a heated discussion, i might have reported the message and moved on. If "clearly" calling someone M** F** and justifying it till the end is what you call an acceptable behavior (report message and move on), i don't think there is any point in stretching this thread.

A bit strange to claim something on those lines, given that I never even complained about it (not even to the OP who was abusive) and basically laughed it off.
Other users of the forum (I see more than one) found it so offensive that they came here and reported it. I also believe that a significant number of votes will be needed to get someone's account terminated, and so those many people had had enough of the OP. This hardly counts as me getting "what I wanted".
I'd want a yacht, sailing on smooth turquoise seas. With nymphos. In a soapy Jacuzzi. That would be a lot closer to what I "want".

Good point. I lost who I was communicating with. My mistake.

Nope. They are looking for points. They get 10 points (I think) for reporting a member. It happens all the time. People come in and see a member reported, they then report the member without even doing their own research to verify validity.
The Spam and ABUSE forum is ironically named.
