Criticizing the mods

To what extent can we criticize the mods around here? For example, which of the following am I not allowed to say?:

"Mod 3 and Mod 4 are cuntfaces."
"Mod 3 and Mod 4 are morons."
"Mod 3 and Mod 4 are idiots."
"Mod 3 and Mod 4 are stupid."
"I hate Mod 3 and Mod 4."
"I don't like Mod 3 and Mod 4."
"I think Mod 3 and Mod 4 should be banned."

It's not entirely clear to me. Thank you.

Disclaimer: This is obviously all theoretical and hypothetical. I'm not publically saying ANY of these things about the mods.

I wasn’t banned, obviously, but I remember a month or so ago a thread discussing what political tv shows we watched was soon deleted. I thought the content of the thread was tame and rather benign, but hey, what the hell do I know?

I think anyone performing cunnilingus can be called a cuntface as a fact, at least for as long as s/he is eating at the Y.

We have a community standard. Here is my take on this matter:

I believe none of your curse words match "Prohibited Content 5. Excessive profanity" even the "cuntface". It is not in my vocabulary, but I would not hesitate to call someone a dickhead if he really deserves that.

It is not a game of words, context matters. Name-calling without context and reason is not a valid criticism. Which leaves our MODs some degrees of freedom to speculate your motivation. In that case, they could take your insult as violating "Prohibited Content 3 - harasses, intimidates or bullies an individual or group of individuals" and therefore ban you.
