Re: Artashes

Any suggestions for how I would get you to stop with your rule breaking too?

And what specific rule breaking is that? Posting in a thread which is about a moderator's decision? "Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum". That would be a joke - ban every person on this thread. Or have you suddenly become aware that just about every post made on this forum breaks one or more of the forum's rules?

If you have decided to get off your high horse of silence to get closer to the ground to see what is actually going on there - then from this day onwards ban ANYONE whose response to any posting contains personal insults or racial attacks against the poster of the first posting, or any post that is in the form of a deliberately off-topic reply as a direct response to another posting.

Knock it off! My comment to Bell was not a blessing to start with the insults.

So when the criticism turns to you, all of a sudden, I am on a high horse? Interesting that you speak of a sense of superiority and angry OTT reactions of previously banned members with whom you share nothing in common except as it turns out, your temper. Consult your pm and the definition of hypocrisy.
I meant the rule about insults... if I enforced that one without considering anything to mitigate then there would be just me, the mod team, and like 2 active members. And I would have banned you along with Artashes whom you personally insulted. I guess I exercised poor judgment.

Re: Artashes

I consulted your pm, given that it did not reply to any of the content of my pm, can you tell me what were the mitigating circumstances for Artashes that excused his behaviour that I summed up here: http://forum.hyeclub.com/showthread....l=1#post348682 And what did artashes do right after that summing up - he said the summing up was correct, and then dished out more personal insults of course!

And would not the term that I used to describe Artashes, and that you call a personal insult, be justified when applied to a person who can make such a basic error as to not know what a quote is, and to not have the manners to apologise for making the mistake, or even have the sense that an apology and retraction would be needed. And do you not recognise that if Artashes had not been allowed the getaway with his repeated personal insults, I would never have felt the need to post my insult, and he would probably not have escalated up to making the type of posts that resulted in his ban.

Having a liasse-faire approach to moderating is good judgement, but I think there should be limits that are lower than the limits you follow.

I spent enough time reading it, I won't waste any more by replying. Not to the pm, nor this post.

Federate is drafting a new set of forum rules. We're sick of hearing grown men (because it always seems to be men...) whining like children over trifling bullsh!t.

Re: Artashes

I would like to thank the posters for their posts and the content of those posts that were considerate on my behalf.
Some really funny posts guys, had many a laugh. Thanks.
