I made a thread about L>BF. Since it was in General Section, and NOT in listings, I thought it would be obvious that it was about Bigfoot (I didn't even realize it might seem like Boyfriend at the time). I said I was looking for it, and thnx for the help. Note how I said IT . Only one person took it wrong (and it took me awhile to realize this. But other than that, people seem to understand I was asking where Bf the enemy was. However, it got banned for trolling. But the BM definition of trolling is "Posting something to aggravate or promote arguements among readers". Really? So posting about L>BF "aggravates" people? Regardless of which BF is meant, Trolling makes no sense.

Well, I got suspended for trolling for making a thread about pizza slices (not p izza s lices mind you, that was the joke) in chat section. Go figure...

If it was looking for a boyfriend, it would be in the listings. If it was looking for Bigfoot leech, it'd also be in the listings. I don't really get why you wouldn't post it there unless you're actually looking for Bigfoot to fight normally or something. To above: Don't make threads about them then. Many people will go in the wrong direction because of them.

The existence of Bf is a very touchy subject, even more touchy is the subject of Bf's bf. This could have been a trainwreck of offense to some people.

Sebastianrod said: " I was LOOKING for BF. Not trying to leech." Yeah, that's what I thought. I guess people don't know abbreviations, yet ironically people use sin, GF, Zak, HT, and other stuff all the time X_x

Yeah, well. This is basil, where a lot of people have had a stupid posting suspension or two.

You should've put bigfoot, BF stands for boy friend in 90% of the cases. Note: Use common sense

If making up random percentages is common sense, then he won't get far On topic: It is kind of an unintentional troll Like: you're a kid and tell your mom ''I want to bang you'' When you are thinking ''banging someone means hugging someone'', to her its an insult or worse. Get it now?

Simply putting "Bigfoot" would have prevented this.
