This is the only post I will make in this subject because it is, quite frankly just a hate thread by members of the community who do not want the rules to be followed.
Quote:
Illegal Subjects
Subjects include, but are not limited to: Warez/pirating (this includes mod chips and bypassing security), hacking, drugs, pornography, and provoking racism. If you make posts regarding anything illegal you might receive a warning, but will otherwise be banned from the forums.

Anyone with any right mind would put bigotry into this section...and yet, the members of staff have put a blind eye to it. Examples can be found if you search the SB archive or by looking at Sir Charles' initial post in this thread.
Quote:
Respect
Respect every member of the forums as you would a friend or family member. Abusing another member, vulgar language and any other behavior considered disrespectful will be looked over by the mods and dealt with appropriately.
We encourage all console users to visit the forums and make posts, and indeed hope that some healthy debate ensues - however there is a line between friendly debate and abuse - please stay on the right side of it.

This is related to the first one. As an example, a certain member posted something irrelevant that comes under this banner and was dealt with, very leniently yet abuse was still given to that staff member.
Quote:
Flaming
Excessive flaming is not tolerated. We realize that during a healthy debate, some flaming will inevitably occur - we do not mind this as long as it is kept to a minimum. Posts directed solely at flaming or insulting another member will be deleted.

The members of staff rarely ever delete flaming posts, out of keeping the banter alive on the forums.

If anything, I have proved that the moderators are more than fair on this site as the forum rules are broken on a daily basis.
Now, I want to bring attention to something which I believe will be pertinent to this subject:

This was because of a one hour ban due to continued spamming of the shoutbox (after being told to stop by three moderators). Bigotry towards any member will not be tolerated and the fact that no action was taken due to this should be testament to the leniency here at PX360. Believe me, on any other forum, this would have been dealt with, with great severity.The defense rests, your honour.
