Should I switch to a new forum account or get banned?

I feel as though I am going to get banned for no reason if I continue to post under this one.
I use many sayings that are in common use to-day by reputable sources, and I always make a large effort to keep everything that I post 100% clean in terms of "foul language"... not because I enjoy it, but because I am forced to and respect the community guidelines.
So that being said, I apparently am unable to follow the rules, as I do not know what constitutes "foul language". A thread that I made had a term that I use and see used often, and was graveyarded+locked entirely because of the terminology, as well as had the word removed. I was then sent a notification, and I have a strange feeling that, given enough time, this incident will in fact repeat itself. The thread that I am talking about can be found here: http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/82328
Given that (I believe, based on what I've seen from others) after about 3 infractions your account is banned, if I make a single mistake over the course of who knows how long I'll stick around, I will be forum banned for it. And I honestly don't think this is going to end well. So should I-
A.) Accept the fact that I will inevitably break a rule on accident and get banned for whichever small mistake I make next?
B.) Post using an alt account to exempt myself from being banned?
C.) Crave myself out to I guess Eury? To avoid getting banned.
So no, "I do not understand". And no, I'm not disputing a ban or other action. I'm wanting a legitimate discussion over this issue with the forum community.

You're missing the point- there are terms that are in popular use that I don't consider to be bad, and will inevitably overlook when I make a topic. I WILL curse at some point without meaning to, and I will be banned for it.

I understand. What is a naughty word and what isn't is most certainly a matter of opinion. What you used can be quite offensive, though most certainly not in that context.
But seriously OOO, drop "gay" from the list of naughty words or add "straight" and "sad" to it.

But the reason I used it was because it was part of a term that I didn't consider to be bad, and I wasn't using it in a context that that demeans anyone of the craver profession.
In fact, the game doesn't filter the word as part of its "no words being dropped" filter, which is what I have mine set to. And besides, most people would crave themselves out if offered enough.

Yeah. You can't talk about "basements" in your guild's MotD, for example. That's pretty annoying. Had to use "cellar" instead. So now our MotD story is that my alt joined the guild, there's a carcass in our cellar, a guy went missing, and the carcass turned out to be that guy and it was possibly put there by my imaginary ex girlfriend (read: my alt) who broke up with me and possibly did that as a revenge.
So when I talked to my guild master about it, they talked about getting the carcass out of there because it's ruining the wine.
How can that be scary? Wine?! How is wine scary?! YOU CAN'T HAVE A SCARY CELLAR, IT MUST BE A BASEMENT!!

You won't exempt yourself
You won't exempt yourself from penalty by posting with an alt. If anything, that'll make it worse.
Have a little faith in yourself, exert some will, and follow the forum rules. :)
Just don't say D-O-O D-O-O.
