[serious] Off Topic Moderation Input - Part 2

[kentonio]

We could do it on a month by month tag team basis - I'll be happy to 'take one for the team' next month...

Sounds fair, and Ben should have no problem with it as it's a perfect example of Christian-esque sacrifice.

To be honest, I'd be game even if it was just Ben and not Kid.

[Guynemer]

There seems to be little desire, in general, for rules and moderation from Polytubbies.

There certainly does seem to be a desire for selective enforcement of rules and selective moderation.

There is much to be said for chilling out, and not getting knickers in a knot about other posters.

In other words, just put the known ****heels on the ignore list and go on about your day.

[Kidlicious]

Kid, only a few posts previously you criticised people calling people names...

I said there should be a rule against calling people horrible names. Do you understand the difference?

[I AM MOBIUS]

Well, apparently you don't, if you think that calling someone 'a lying piece of ****' is somehow not horrible...

[Kidlicious]

The main issue is that there is no prohibition against it.

[-Jrabbit]

Incorrect. The main issue is that there is no enforcement of the rule.

Special Off Topic Forum Rules:

--The Off Topic Forum will be moderated more lightly than other forums.
--Topics that might be considered 'spam' or 'trolling' in on topic forums will more often be tolerated in the Off Topic.
--Posters who want to have serious debates can insert the label "[serious]" into their thread titles. We'd ask users to respect their wishes and remain on topic in those threads. If you wish to have a lighthearted thread on the same subject, start a new thread.
--Jokes / mild name-calling / banter etc. are allowed as along as their attitude is jovial or humorous. Malicious personal attacks, attacks that are deemed to be aimed at driving other users from the site and personal threats will not be tolerated.

Of course, the forum rules haven't been updated under Aeson's site ownership. There is specific reference to the Netherlands as the site owner's country in the FAQ.

Shhhh... no ones supposed to know we have rules and we are based in the Netherlands so Sava is still legal!

[Kidlicious]

We're all victims

Cry Havoc and release the twins!


(But keep a leash handy please. )

Kidicious is already violating the no-thread****ting-when-requested rule http://apolyton.net/showthread.php/2...=1#post6413239

I'd like to request that there be a formal procedure for when this happens, e.g. start with a warning, progress to a one-day ban, then a three-day ban, then each subsequent offense gets a one-week ban. Kidicious will either learn to be civil or he won't be around to be uncivil.

I wouldn't really call that a thread****. But I will expect you not to **** all over my threads in the future, since you got religion now.

[loinburger]

You wouldn't call what amounts to a "this thread sucks" post a thread****? **** off.

Aeson et al, could you please put Kidicious on a short leash until he shapes up? He apparently thinks that he's above the law site rules.

You're a bit pushy with you're new religion, aren't you?

[loinburger]

Please just stop acting like a jackass, if there was ever a time for you to act like a jackass then it's certainly not now.

Alternatively, please explain to us why you believe that you should be allowed to continue to act like a jackass so that we can better understand your malfunction.

[DaShi]

I really hope that there aren't hard feelings between you two, but I find the back and forth banter very entertaining.
