Abuse of fellow members

[idleidolidyll]

Just try giving them shit back and see how they like a taste of that, if they start insulting or out and out calling you derogatory names, pm a moddie and they should give them a slapping

that has rarely worked for me

Dont give them shit back, it is inflamatory and can esculate an issue, subtle teasing is not reccommended either FWIW. Some people have zero sense of humour sometimes (including me).

Instead of giving them shit back .. just use the ignore button .. & if its a major problem pm a mod & do not retaliate that just makes it tit for tat. remember this is the internet & ppl love to hide behind a screen

Personal stuff is really hard to ignore to be fair. I am stirrer sometimes, I own it. I am also a complete defender of my position.

Seriously how can you complain about serial red repper when the comments are not abusive? How to complain about a post that is innocent but comes at the end of a string of inflamatory replys?

You Mods can keep your jobs! you are if you do and if you dont. Or the other way round????

The problem is the "perceived" personal attack, the written word can be hard to decipher into the intent in which its delivered, and most ppl take personal exception to it so feel the need to defend themselves and usually in a most public way.

For those who feel that someone is personally attacking them, or using the rep system for abuse then do not retaliate & pm one of the snr mods who can investigate this for you.

How easy is it to mod when it becomes tit for tat & two parties become abusive to each other via pm or the rep system or in the threads, until one party starts crying to the mods to do something about it ..you both interact & become as bad as each other so both deserve to be infracted ..

simple solution use the ignore function .. thats wot its there for ..

nope, even the worst members sometimes have something worth reading

i don't have anyone on ignore

I have been told to do the following:

This didn't turn out too good.

I used to run a Vbulletin forum but never had this come up (it wasn't a very active forum haha). My solution is that you just allow your contacts and site staff to post on your visitor messages page, thus if a non contact wishes to talk to you, they can always use the PM service.

The above sounds like a day at work for me...I have to mediate to often for those whose immaturity prevents them from sorting their problems themselves - regardless of age or gender.

Got mail from Cajun yesterday and I guess I'm in a sin bin of some sort.
I have to admit being called a brown shirted jew burner kinda pushed me over the edge a little but I did show a great deal of constraint. I would have liked to unleash the venom of my tounge on the perpertrator of this racist slur on me but chose to be a better person than him.
You gotta do what you gotta do.
Can I get a reduced sentence for good behaviour?? real crims can

I totally agree...neither do I... and I can read ALL they post about me Only one red rep from a nasty person, for posting a silly post And no red rep's from those that probably had cause to

Here's a nice example of the hypocrisy of the moderators:

http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...22#post1676422

Look at the bottom of the page where one or more pathetic losers have made direct personal attacks through the tags function.
The hypocrisy is that the moderators leave that there while sending much less abusive stuff to the sin bin.

Why is KB fucked up? There's your answer.

What hypocrisy? Moderators cannot be expected to read every little piece of every thread, so unless these things are reported then they cannot be dealt with. All tags have been removed from that thread this time, but in future report them. Mods are not mind readers.

I removed the tags... as you said I didn't see them till they were pointed out...

[James Deuce]

It's alright for you to abuse people though, isn't it?

Senior members can edit tags themselves, on threads they have started.

oh sure

you stick to your story, it even sounds almost plausible

the number of times some dick has whined about a post of mine and the mod hasn't read back beyond one post to find the cause is mind boggling
