Tjay Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Ok I apologise for the oversight.But the fact remains rule 14 is in place so abide by it.And you DOW Guys need to stop bitching about it, for a unit that prides its self on following the rules you guys need to start following other peoples rules as well.You don't get to pick and choose on this forumMay I ask the mods to remove this post, as its only purpose appears to be to prolong and continue the public spat that was the cause of the SB TS server being taken down. I really don't understand how anyone can do this at a time when the important thing is to heal the rift in the community that is seriously pissing off the majority and just providing those who claim that this forum is a battleground with ammunition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted July 17, 2015 Members Share Posted July 17, 2015 May I ask the mods to remove this post, ...Let me get that straight: Moderators on this forum will NOT alter other users' posts. We may ask them to do so, or we may lock threads, and we may ban users if they are in violation of a forum rule (which one, in this case?) ... but the one thing that we don't is to censor statements, particularly not if the sole basis for that is the submission of a Hurt Feelings form sheet.The "tolerance" thing goes both ways: Don't be an asshole, and don't be a sissy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not in either 'camp'; I'm quite happy to play with VUs like BGANZAC and with DoW. My ONLY interest is overall good of the community. I find the suggestion that by asking for Marko's post to be removed I must be either an asshole or a sissy or possibly both, insulting and extremely discouraging 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacbat Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 As a reminder, this forum has an "ignore list" function. Use it. You won't have to put up with someone, and the rest of us won't have to read about your complaining about him. Win-Win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Everyone take a moment and relax. Shit happens, we adjust and tomorrow is a new day. If you got some final thoughts, get it in. It's time we close this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time we close this.+1. Hooray. I doubt others will though, so I hope the mods will in future take appropriate action to prevent (not censor) posts that are blatantly aggressive and clearly designed simply to heap coals onto the row that has broken out between two small groups within the community. Note the words 'small' and 'within'. Both factions seem to think that they ARE the community but they are not. Never was the old saying 'A penny in a tin makes the most noise' truer. I'm now done. And when I say that I mean it and will stick to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when I say that I mean it and will stick to it.Moderation is not proactive. It's unrealistic to expect us to "prevent (not censor) posts that are blatantly aggressive" unless we find someone who has some form of psychic ability that can accurately predict what someone will do in the future. Until that person shows up, I don't think prevention is even possible. What we do have are rules. While some people think we do a piss poor job on enforcement, I don't think we would serve the community's best interest if we began operating like a Draconian police state. Everyone has bad days or allows someone to push his buttons. Swinging the ban hammer should not be our first and only method we employ to resolve a flare up. Our ranks would be a lot thinner if I had banned everyone I yelled at in the past. However, tolerance does have limits. Unhappy people will continue to do unhappy things. When someone does get banned, there will be no question that he deserved it. Things sort themselves in the long run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
