[serious] Off Topic Moderation Input - Part 2

[The Mad Monk]

There is the problem. I don't want to engage the ******* you guys refuse to ban but if I don't engage him he is free to spread lies about me unchallenged. Slander. Look it up.

If he was doing this at WPC or another site that shares posters with this one, would you ask them to ban him, too?

[Elok]

I don't see why. To use a personal example, about six months ago Kid repeatedly claimed I'd admitted to being a habitual liar or something like that. He wouldn't retract it or make any effort to back it up, culminating in the ridiculous giraffe incident where I turned the tables somewhat. In the end, though, I just put him on ignore and forgot about it. The lies of the deranged are meaningless, especially if nobody believes them. And in your case, if anybody did believe them it wouldn't matter. You want to claim I was banned from WPC? Go right ahead.

[Wezil]

You miss the point.

Ben can go on about Stalin and Churchill signing the Treaty of Versailles until the alter boys come home but when he starts talking about me the issue changes.

[Elok]

Admin here is pretty laissez-faire, you know. BK was only banned last time because what he said constituted assault or some such. And compared to the far more offensive and outrageous lies he regularly indulges in, falsely claiming you were barred from the pandarast site is nothing. Even if this were a standalone incident, it'd be nothing.

[Wezil]

I don't know where the first one was (it was awhile ago). The second one is in the Catholics thread.

Ben post 229.

Here is the proof it is a lie.

[Wezil]

So that is your slander policy then? It doesn't count if the recipient complains and objects?

Nice.

[MikeH]

I still have no idea what the posts are BTW.

Report them or link them in here. I read a very, very tiny fraction of what is posted here.

[MikeH]

It is my understand that he wasn't posting lies about you unchallenged because you were challenging them?

[Wezil]

However, my view would be that someone claiming someone was banned at some near deserted internet forum or other is so extremely trivial that the only action required is to say "no I wasn't".

Especially when the accuser is someone who has such a terrible reputation for honesty.

All the more reason to BAN HIM ALREADY.

That's the kind of nonsense that Asher used to cause a massive fuss about and my view was always "who cares, get a life".

Asher enjoys "debating" with Ben. I don't.

Claiming someone is a kiddy fiddler is potentially quite serious and disproportionate as a response.

I asked if the rumour was true.

But I haven't seen the context yet, from what's posted in here sounds like nothing needs doing.

Nero.

[MikeH]

I'm saying I don't know or care what happened on another forum. I have no way to verify who is lying and absolutely no interest in finding out.

[Wezil]

I haven't read any of the posts involved, if someone links them I could have a look.

So you are saying repeated lies about other posters are okay?

I got it and will behave accordingly.

[Wezil]

Is this about the fact that you once was banned on WPC, that was discussed WEEKS ago?

You should let WPC know. They are apparently unaware of it. Offer some proof or shut the **** up.

[MikeH]

I just said it was worse than saying someone was banned from a forum.

[kentonio]

We're not allowed to call people kiddy fiddlers now? ****ing nazi moderators..
