In all seriousness we have members here that should've been banned along time ago, Right? We are not big on Banning members as you can clearly see but something got to give. Imo @SAiNT believes every member is a good member and some just have bad days (it's apart of life) okay cool.

There is some truth to that, but what happens when everyday is a bad day? This is where the mod team steps in to set things straight, then whats happens? Well that members starts to scream harassment & Censorship and all that other good stuff (creates new threads, tries to get a team of members on their side, you know the regular games).

Then we have those who just create threads for cause & effect and it's the community that suffers the most. I get hate-mail every so often and that in it's self is wrong but we still give members second, third chances after-all they are just words but how it's said is a big factor!.

All i want to know from you guys/gals what would you like to see done and please report offending members so we can get a grip on this, because this mix Low is too boomy, Mid is too Muddy, High is too Harsh and overall lacks depth.

Should we strictly enforce the rules or on a user to user bases, all relevant response are welcome.

 

we are not KVR

 

Any suggestions?

 

If they are repeat offenders who dont get the message people try to tell them, or have an overinflated ego, then yes. It just fills up posts of nonsensical debate that has the potential to misinform other users would could potentially learn something useful.

 

We need one of these buttons (like, dislike, agree,...,troll)
and info on their avatars, underneath "likes received" there should be "troll status". That way ppl on forum can have understanding for them and simply ingore them, if they don't find them interesting or funny at least.

 

Unless you're doing IP bans, I don't see that this will really solve the problem.

 

I agree

We have the ignore function for that, but troll status!!! lol that might not end well.

We do!!!!!

 

Sure,i myself have been involved in some controversy here,though not intentionally.Though if people can get banned what about if a mod oversteps his authority one too many times like the Sheriff in Rambo?Just a thought.

 

Totally Agree and I stand behind @Introninja on this as another Moderator in the interest of peace and tranquility here.
there is no reason to bring animosity to either side of the table in these discussions.

Recent Trolling; We all have our opinions and there is absolutely no reason to resort to the tone of negativity and rhetoric that breeds hate and divisibility on our forum. Just agree to disagree and move on. We are all allowed to our own opinion there is ABSOLUTELY no reason to degrade another or force another to believe as we do or to convince another to see things our way. This kind of Bullying/Trolling behavior is going to be stopped by us through any method we can employ, it is not healthy and is detrimental to the growth of this forum.

We do not want to censor and ban, we just want everyone to not incite this negative kind of environment for it breeds contempt and bad vibes. Peace my friends, The world has enough problems, let this be a refuge from that sadness and sickness out there!

 

Hi,
A 3 warning system could be an idea. After 3 warnings you get kick off from forum/sites for a 30 day and when you back again and continued to be an "troll/not nice" and get 3 new warnings, then your ban for a year ... next time well ... bye bye

If you got a warning and start to behave nice during a 30 days period then the warning will vanish, well some sort of a suggestion ;)

Backside is more work for site moderators ...

Cheers

 

If you think there are members that should be banned long time ago, you should go further and tell us what people you are thinking about.
Anyway, is a dangerous door you want to open, more dangerous than some troll here and there.

 

No disrespect, but WHO exactly do you have in mind?
I'm sure, that must be based on your opinion about other members...

 

@Von_Steyr I can understand your argument about a MOD overstepping his bounds my friend but I can also state that since i have been a MOD there has been no major action against any member that was not discussed by all of the MODS before a step was taken and any Major step was left for @SAiNT to decide the final Result.

 

Am against banning but sometimes strict action needed like warning, thread ban. Instead of complete ban, it's better to 'thread ban' an offensive or provocative member as he might be fruitful in other threads if not in this one. You can also do like if a member is thread banned in say 10 threads, he might get a temporary ban for one week automatically. Unlike an offensive member, trolls can easily be recognized and could be given warning before suspending him for say a week. If he still trolls after coming back then take appropriate action. Two members in a heated discussion should never be banned if the discussion is fruitful but in heated moments decorum should be maintained like no swearing, degrading, name calling etc. All in all, if we just behave like we were taught in childhood nobody will get any ban. 0.02 cents...

 

We have a process in place before banning is even considered, and most if not all mod & @SAiNT discuss on a timely & professional manner

 

I'm so sorry, I just cannot resist trolling a bit here.
2 cents is diferent from 0.02 cents.

 

Hang them all!!!
Way to many idiots here.
The more they talk off topic bullshit, the more they have to create new accounts.

@eboe
Eboe made the most rational suggestion,a three step warning with a one month ban period,things get said in a heat of the moment,people deserve a 2nd chance,the only one who should be permanently banned is that dick that was posting porn links.

 

I voted a staunch NO.

Let idiots prate. Who cares?

However, I also very firmly believe a stand should be taken against extreme anti-social behaviour (and all spam, obviously).

The best way of dealing with it seems to be to have a section where offending stuff gets removed to ie it doesn't get deleted but gets sent to an area clearly marked as unacceptable/problematic whatever. It isn't censorship as such and it does positively assert the values which censorship claims to seek to protect. And more - because it isn't "censorship".

I would personally support deletion of all racism or any other such anti-human shit. Anything hateful is just useless garbage. Delete all nazism, fascism, whatever. Fine.

OTOH I don't mind much care about nasty comments coming my way - I can hold my own. I don't feel in need of any protection, nor have I seen people being in need of protection.

WHatever, fuck the wankers.

 

that is already in place except that we are more lenient and hardly if ever give suspensions, usually just tell the member to chill and continue on maybe we can pick this up? If need be

What would that solve?, and it's not within the rules...whatever conclusion we come too and what will happen to them. Keeping this in perspective and unbiased.

i was thinking you, because your such a great member here i want locked in a safe and release you when all hell break loose again lol.

I have been banning members from threads, suspensions not so much and when there is a heated discussion it must be within the rules. Bash the topic with your opinions not the member!!!!
