  You seem to be missing the point of the AUP.

  As the AUP itself says, "these are general guidelines".

  That means they are not the absolute law everyone (including the owner
of this server) must obey, and that everything not mentioned in it is
allowed, period.

  It means that they are general guidelines which give you an idea about
what you should not do here. If someone misbehaves in such way that many
people get annoyed, each such case is handled individually.

  It also means that if you are acting in an improper way, you will be
told so by the admins, and you should stop that behaviour. The reason
why they can tell you to stop is not because some AUP says so, but because
they own the server and they don't want an individual harassing people here.
As I said above, each case is handled individually.

  If he is told many times "please stop posting this type of images" and
instead of apologizing each time the only response is arrogant flaming
and trolling, the patience of the admins is going to end sooner or later.

  He was given plenty of time to stop that behaviour and his images and
behaviour were tolerated to great extents. He was clearly warned several
times, but he wouldn't stop.

  It's not a question of having some kind of "law" which has explicitly
written every single possible case and which patches every possible
loophole you could possibly find in it. This is not reasonable and
it doesn't make any sense either.

  Read the guidelines in the AUP, follow them, and if you happen to
misbehave in a way that annoys many people you will be told so by the
admins and the simplest thing you can do is to stop behaving like that.

  If you don't agree, simply remember that this is not a public forum.
You are a *guest* here. You should behave as a guest should when inside
the property of another person.
