Goldenbear said he emailed the mod regarding this yesterday but to no avail, so he asked me to post this here 
He still doesn't see why he was banned, especially when the mod stated that it isn't a new policy, considering the amount of people that have done it in the past, sometimes with continuous posts that don't say anything besides that.
This example is just one of *many* that perhaps might've have been missed or ignored by the mod, because as the mod states, it is "not a new policy", and that breaking the word filter is a bannable offense. It would seem there's some sort of double standard involved here, and pertains to more than just saying the word. If it is indeed a bannable offense, then the individuals in the above thread, and the countless others should, in the interest of "fairness", be dealt with as well.
All he wants is for this situation to be assessed fairly, and that is all any of us can ask for out of you terrific mods
GoldenBear has informed us that the reason your IP address matches his is because you attend the same school. Upon further investigation, we find this to be correct and have determined that you and he are not the same person.
We apologize for the mistake. I've unlocked your account, and am also sending you an e-mail to let you know that.
However, please do not post on his behalf again. He has been communicated with already.
