At the ever increasing rate I see the 7 words get used around here

It depends on which 7 words you mean. I have seen a number of words used here in
rtlT that I personally do think are inappropriate.


Type "7 words" into google and hit I'm Feeling Lucky.

Google knows what I'm talking about.  Google knows all.

I know which ones you mean too. But I'll say that I personally don't like the
milder ones either, I think they show lack of imagination. I am in the minority
on the Admin team, so A-- gets a pass and B---- seems to fit the sitch, and S---
gets used more than a bit, and P--- ... well I ran out of rhymes. But I'd prefer
that none of those got used either.

It is not the current policy to comment on who has or hasn't been given a
timeout (a timeout is different than being banned, I note) so if you have
concluded that no one has gotten any timeouts, you may not necessarily be
correct. But it has been noticed and action is being taken.

This seems to lead to:
-people like me feeling nothing is being done
-people like Chris feeling they are being abused
-people not understanding what is appropriate
-more people quietly being timed out because they post by example.

All valid concerns. There is internal discussion about changing the policy and
there is a sub thread in admin.general discussing it. If you have an opinion,
comment there (if it's more than what you said already, that is...  you pointed
out drawbacks. There are also advantages...)
