I got reported for calling Marin residents who didn't want to pay a $75 tax to support affordable housing because it might mean poor people in Marin "greedy cunts" and my account was suspended. Meanwhile they get to launch all sorts of insults and personal attacks at proponents of more housing and not get banned.

If Twitter genuinely wanted to be transparent they would share general about reported tweets, and what influences action on them. I wouldn't be surprised if one of those "greedy cunts" is a lawyer who sent Twitter a letter.

To be honest temporary bans for that kind of language would only help Twitter. You can express the same amount of outrage with cleaner language.

  Filtering tweets based on bad language sounds like an easy user-based-configuration. Do you think that Google's search results should contain pages with foul language or hardcore pornography? Or are you OK with Google's "safe search" functionality, which defaults to "safe"?
