I originally found it funny that your forum code automatically changed a certain German political party to Godwin's Law, even though 99% of the time I've seen it pop up it has been used to deride someone with perhaps a bit too much concern in the grammar of others.
On Bungie.net though, Godwin's Law has nothing to do with [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] any more. No, now, every argument leads to someone calling someone else a bundle of sticks, but they are more likely using this in the common slur against homosexual males.
It's a bit surprising that nobody has realized that everyone just abbreviates fgt, or changes spacing, etc. Also why aren't there any time-outs, bans or anything else for this type of behavior? It goes beyond the CoC pretty damn obviously.
There are a ton of other slurs that I know exist, but I never see them, because people have grown to (or been conditioned to) realize this language is socially unacceptable. But fgt persists.
Any thoughts ninjas, anyone lurking in the shadows?

People get banned and warned all the time for racial and homosexual slurs. You just don't see it because posts moderated in such a way are yanked from view.
