Except puns in Chinese are used to circumvent Great Wall filtering to be able to talk about banned topics.

[QUOTE=Map in a box;46594422]I remember never understanding why something 99% of facepunch was ok with was bannable. It's like that now, too, sometimes. Facepunch is basically China.[/QUOTE]
There's a lot of shit you can get away with if you do it slyly.
First they came for the puns, I didn't make any so I didn't speak up
Then they came for the sensationalist titles, I didn't write any so I didn't speak up
Then they came for the people who didn't read the articles, I read the articles so I didn't speak up
Then they came for the shitposters, and there was noone left to speak for me

This should be quoted in the OP, it provides vital context to this story.

I wish they would have just beat it before it got to the point where they had to be banned.

I'm legit interested in who suddenly decided to close the thread when this popped up. That kind of shit is the stuff China is doing and we're subsequently mocking in this thread.
This is next level shit mod business going on.
What are they [I]China[/I] do by banning wordplay?

He is, luckily I think FP policy has changed, so if he does ban I call bullshit.
Can someone post the other pages of the cached version? This is gold :v:.
Also honestly speaking, it was a dumb idea to delete the thread [sp]dont ban me pls[/sp].

Probably one of the mods banning people in that thread. It looks like bad moderation now, I can't even remember puns being bannable and that was just a little bit over 2 years ago.
This got my thinking back to this :

That was puny.
[QUOTE=Krinkels;46602161]草泥马挡中央[/QUOTE]
For people that don't know, 草泥马 means "grass mud horse", but in Chinese, it sounds similar to [I]cáo ní mā[/I], which I think means "fuck your mom" or something.
The people were just China have fun to ignore the shithole they live in.

I can understand that [I]Beijing[/I] a speaker of this kind of language must suck if you have to deal with the possibly the most annoying [I]Taipei[/I] of humor.
