It shouldn't be, "but I was never warned/banned for THAT particular thing!" A ban or a warning means that it would be a good idea to refresh your understanding of the rules and not treat these forums as your personal litterbox.
Thing is, mods here are pretty inconsistent. You, for example, are pretty lenient. Other mods are much harsher.
For example, I saw a thread locked a couple days ago with a story about how oral sex can cause certain types of cancer. A story that you also posted awhile ago.
The last time I was banned by a mod was when I made a joke about math using letters as numbers. The mod didn't get it and thought it was spam. When I explained the joke, my appeal was still denied, even though I posted on-topic in the thread as well. Now, I've seen mods (especially you) make jokes like that all the time. Sometimes, getting banned really is a matter of which mod is on, and which mod gets you better. We have no idea who's going to ban for what. Inconsistencies abound is the norm here on BNet, as you should expect it to be with a system that is based on "Okay, ninjas, read the forum rules, interpret them in the way you deem most logical and fitting to what we actually meant with them, and moderate accordingly."
Think of it this way. They're like the supreme court justices interpreting the constitution. Now, there have been some pretty -blam'd!- up supreme court cases over these 200-some-odd years. But each justice has pretty much stuck to their principles and their beliefs when deliberating. Now, imagine there were 31 Supreme Court justices. Imagine how much of a subjective and inconsistent system that would be. That is BNet, my friend.
