If the poster in question was otherwise nice and seemed interested in fitting in, I'd think he was just tone deaf to the difference between pleasingly bawdy and disgustingly raunchy. However, I'm thinking really clever troll, using the fact it's hard to codify bawdy vs. raunchy against us.

Regular posters have joked about inappropriate thoughts of Dawn after OMWF.
Guilty as charged. But not crudely, as Betsy said, and with a sense of a guilty admission, not with this guy's dirty-minded relish.
I don't like this guy. I, for one, want him the hell out of here. It is not like this is someone who has been posting here for a long time.
I agree, but being devil's advocate, it must be confusing for him to see one type of crude joke being made, and make another type, and get rebuffed.
The rebuffs aren't having much effect, as well. One thing he's said, in case you missed it, is that he's posting drunk.
He's been warned, by many people.
Does he know he's been officially warned? Is there language we should use to make that clear?

I want to stress that it's worth making that clear to him, for his sake and the board's.

Censorship claims, btw, have no merit in a private forum.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He hasn't been officially warned yet. He's gotten the sometimes-not-annoying benefit of the doubt.
Okay. NOW he's been officially warned.

I fully support this statement.
Thanks, ita.

What jen said, Fay, doubled. Don't change a single thing about the way you act around here, you're perfect.
