I think I'm a bit rude sometimes (Something to improve). Don't you agree? [Or if that's not it, what does make me annoying?] [ Monday, March 26, 2007 13:19: Message edited by: Excalibur ] -------------------- WWJD? Posts: 1384 | Registered: Tuesday, February 6 2007 08:00 |

Sometimes you get to be a mod by winning an election, which means you do want to be a mod. Unless you're Alcritas. You really want harsher mods? Somehow I doubt that. Most people who are well-liked push the envelope plenty, and many newcomers who are insufferable don't actually do anything wrong. These boards are just a form of advertising for Jeff, more or less, and he doesn't want to drive away customers. (Does keeping the worst offenders around drive away customers? Probably, but not as quantifiably.) More ranting and raving at people who don't quite manage to fit in can be arranged. Actually fixing the fact that not everyone fits in is impossible. —Alorael, who will enter with a classic backing to South Kensington. Wippleham might be boring, but it's a solid opener, and he defies you to find a way around it. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

quote:Actually, ranting and raving itself is the main problem. I am pretty sure Salmon and Slarty aren't advocating more bannings. And I am not asking for bannings either. I am just asking for mods to be more proactive in telling people to play nice and having some punishments for those who ignore their clearly defined warnings. quote:I guess you define "the envelope" far more narrowly than I do, because I can think of very few people (aside from the ones who are perma-banned) who push the envelope enough for it to be a potential problem.

quote:These forums have always been that way. Annoying noobs and sometimes the even more annoying "oldbies" getting angry about not having their medicine. Or whatever keeps oldbies going these days. I wouldn't worry to much, noobs come and go. Ed was an extreme case, but I knew sooner or later he would be banned. Or get fed up and leave, I didn't really care which. Members with some decent repsect will generally be accepted and will jump on the bandwagon, while the rabble is left by the wayside. Think of it as a test to see who's got what it takes to be a contributing member. This core of the community will stay, and Jeff will live forever.

Ah, I found the rulesets, all is good. I advance to Wembley Park, following the Goruski Exception to the Transverse Eliptic move set, allowing me to circumscribe the intermediate stations.

quote:Zeviz hit the nail on the head. I agree that banning should be avoided whenever possible; it's a power that can be abused quite unintentionally. Warnings, however, do not have that danger. As far as I'm concerned, a single totally unprovoked personal attack should earn a warning. It poisons the community, and of course it violates the CoC. I normally avoid second-guessing the mods, but I have to admit I am pretty confused as to why warnings are not given out for this kind of malicious behavior. It's quietly permissive. quote:No, that really is all I meant: you stated that you lost your patience. It seems to me that you are possibly the most patient person here, particularly with new members. No slight intended! quote:Again, locking topics and yelling at people sounds pretty good to me. Heck, you can even talk to them nicely. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |
