Political nicknaming is using a derogatory term for a political figure, a candidate or a candidate's followers. It's not flaming per se but more trolling. The Moderation Team decided that "berniebros" fits the category. Certainly the way you used it in that post was not complimentary.

Actually, no, you won't. That is flaming.

sorry this will be my last question i won't push this any further but i assume the same would apply to me if i theoretically called someone a sjw right? and that since i'm not calling anyone that it would be okay for me to say stuff like "i would say kasich, but cucks are disgusting"?

Individual cases are judged individually. I've explained the political nicknaming, I'll not be drawn into ruling on hypotheticals.

Farnhamia and I have discussed the matter, briefly, but it is late-night for both of us.

Ashworth-Attwater, are you saying that a user named "kvatchdom" referred to another player as a social justice warrior? Your post is not clear in this regard. Can you link to the specific post, please, so that we can take a look at it? We can't issue an opinion if we don't have the post in front of us.
