I understand the need for moderation against insults that look like they came out of an insult generator, ex:

"FUCK YOU GOAT FUCKING EASTER EGG CARESSING SKULL CHUCKING BANANA EATING DOODAH DILLY-OH KLONDIKE EATAR!!!11"

But flames like this:

"Eh, fuck you. Go shove an acorn up your ass"

See, that's not bad. It's a flame, but anyone who takes flaming on the internet seriously is...ridiculous

.

That type of comment would get your comment edited, a Warning via PM, and 2-3 more from various posters would get what is (usually) a good thread closed.

I just dont understand it

hah, i dunno if my interests make my defense invalid, but i have to point out that the anti-flaming new-style initiative was not triggar's, but simply passed down to us

"We're not guilty of gassing the ****, we were following orders."

I kid. I think it's time for change.

Porn forum and everybody wins. End of discussion.

martyr · 2004-11-30, 10:09 PM

haha, we don't have to change if all the problems leave voluntarily

Triggar I don't think anyone is questioning your intentions. Or your help to PSU.

But when people who you are trying to help, have concerns, its good to listen to them. You are not the only one with vested interest in PSU, PSU is not here for the Mods, for Hamma... well okay maybe for Hamma... :P It's for the community, and if there are voices of concern, they should be heard.

I have been with PSU since it began, I got a gig as the PSU forum hound tracking all the devs posts before they made it autommated... I should sue for that... anyway I love this site, and the people here, I have learned to listen to them. They tend to know whats going on.

Triggar · 2004-11-30, 10:10 PM

No one ever said the voices of concern should be ignored... if you'd scroll up, you would see my post that said

So does this mean more open slots for PSUM:B??????

Seeing as most Bohica members are talking crap about us.

Triggar · 2004-11-30, 10:13 PM

Maybe.

I'd get you in anyway, Pants

Yes, but if people are leaving because of the lack of change, you're destablizing a healthy community.

Yeah, I know what ya'h mean. My charm is hard to resist.

And you're Canadian, so you probably have an "in" with Dave Coulier.

I Hate Pants · 2004-11-30, 10:18 PM

Him and I are "dawgs"

AztecWarrior · 2004-11-30, 10:19 PM

So, back to the issue at hand.

I think the moderation needs to be loosened a little.

I Hate Pants · 2004-11-30, 10:20 PM

Do you guys remember how the moderation tightened up? When we invaded the teamG0d forums and 6 people got temp. banned.\

So what exactly is this lossened up moderation everyone speaks of?
