I'd have to invite you to have a look at how many times I have used the word "asshole". You don't really think that one post is the only time I've used the word in the last eight and a half years and I'm certainly not the only person who has had posts remain that contained it. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself. Enter the word "asshole" into the search feature and see just how many authors of posts that are still standing. You're going to get three hundred random hits.
The insult thing doesn't work like that either. Forum Mods are the arbitrators of whether something is a personal insult or not. Give that a shot, too. A Mod will read the ticket, thank you for the report, and then come to a determination. If they don't find something to be a violation, they will leave the post alone. If they do, they can edit it, pull the post, or handle it in the manner that they see is best.
If a Mod specifically sent you a little gold email specifying that the word can not be used, rather than the way you used it, then it's the word that's the problem. I find it highly unlikely since there's a fifteen page thread in another section that contains the word "asshole" several times. Feel free to argue your case with them.
Favoritism? I highly doubt it. I don't want to venture to guess what New Mod thinks of me but I'm not counting on it being favorable. At the same time, not breaking forum rules, so I'm relatively sure I'm not bugging them too much.
However, posting from multiple accounts in the same thread is generally a no-no and posting from other accounts when one account is moderated is going to tick somebody off. I don't know if it still works the same way now, but when folks used to get a time out, they sent a very specific gold note that included something like "any attempts to circumvent moderation with result in X". Sooner or later, I'm guessing New Mod is going to get sick of the BS and just moderate all of the neat little sock puppets to try to prevent that. Of course, more will get created, more work will be involved, and at some point they will take care of the problem in their own special way.
Of course, if the validity of any of these point is doubted, there is always the option of writing New Mod at Support. (This is something kinky people call throwing someone under the bus.) I'm sure New Mod will correct any inconsistencies or mistakes that I have made and in a very professional manner explain any of it that you don't understand. Please enjoy talking to New Mod about these matters to the heart's content.
