[2016-06-11] Crackdown on rudeness

The one who did it is not going to explain why it was, in the same way that if it was known who does it would not give the button
They hide behind anonymous

Think that the rude button was set so that when mom denies the child the candy instead of throwing a tantrum or rolling on the floor, hit the button

Therefore: ignore it, as you would with a troll

Praising the GT Team it is really a fact that shouldnt be included,the team made an excellent light and i wish ,they shouldnt be here looking for answers of the logistics,but doing the best they know ,which is wonderfull lights - kissing aces’s is not my best ,should i deserve another flag for that? Hm

There are details at the beginning of this “Crackdown on rudeness” thread, and also some details in the site rules:

The rude button is mostly a way for people to say “hey, calm down”. Getting mad about it is one of the fastest ways to get more rude points, since it’s kind of the opposite of calming down.

Rude points do not trigger any automatic actions. It just lets the admin know where conflict is happening, where attention might be needed to keep the community healthy.

The last part of ” It just lets the admin know where conflict is happening, where attention might be needed to keep the community healthy.” - is there any conflict i have been involved so a flag could be justified? If there is an issue that needs to be taken care and i am the one demanding a response,that is called conflict?

only in your ‘demanding’

It is common to appeal to the ideal of truth through phrases like not pulling any punches, holding nothing back, or telling it like it is. But despite the positive phrasing, many do not consider it a virtue. In practice it often seems to be just an excuse for stating one’s opinions or feelings in an abrasive manner, behaving without consideration for others.

The rude button is one way to let someone know they may be taking something too far and should pause to re-evalute their actions. It is generally not clicked due to saying the truth, but rather due to being quarrelsome.

(note: I’m behind on the GT thread and haven’t read the posts in question, so I’m just speaking in general terms)

(edit 2: your post count just dropped from 122 to 50 and there are no longer any recent ones in the GT thread, so it seems those comments will remain a mystery)

(edit 3: looks like that may have just been a temporary glitch, since things are visible now… so, er, nevermind, big thread is big and may be causing server issues… good excuse to go make a salad or something)

Besides,conflicts are present allaround family,friends ,comunity……important thing is the manner one face them ,some for resolving issues and others to provoke them

Wow, really, no offense, but just let it go already.

“abrasive manner, behaving without consideration for others” now that’s where i don’t see myself at all ,even though ,one is free to establish hes limits of feeling offended - i neither feel comfortable at all having to demand explanation to somebody several weeks without getting a single answer at all , surelly,just getting the long awaited GT with cells will calm me down much more

It’s weird that so many of my posts have been deleted

There’s really not any benefit to showing other users the rudeness score or the amount of times that a user has flagged posts as rude. At best it would only generate animosity, and at worst it would be pure tit-for-tat warfare. But I can see everyone’s rudeness activity, and I can and do take action against users that are consistently rude and also against the very small number of users that try to abuse the system. There’s really not a lot of “serial haters” as Macka17 describes it, and button abuse is surprisingly infrequent.

If you get 1, maybe 2 rude points, do check your list of problem posts to make sure you weren’t inadvertently rude, but don’t sweat it too much. Anything more than that and you probably do have a problem with your tone or attitude that you need to change, at least while you’re posting on BLF.

If one feels that his or her own self is being rude, can we hit our own rude button. :smiley:
Well, I just noticed I don’t have a rude button. :innocent:

If you want it,i would hit rude button 1$ :laughing: (tuesday’s deal)

If its gonna cost me a dollar, I’ll try to be nicer. I could buy more flashlights with the money I’ll save. :money_mouth_face:

Hi, do you mean here in this thread or in other threads?

Cheers O:)

Of course. ,007 cannot be rude,it’s not he’s style

My total amount of # of posts have been lowered , probably deleted the GT’s thread posts

Ah OK. But isn’t your post count back to normal now that the GT thread is back online?

32?? Your still a light weight my friend…… :smiley:
And yes sir it goes above 10…. it goes far above 32 also. :person_facepalming: … :+1:

kntx…. As cabfrank said…. you’ll most likely never know who dinged your bell. I never knew……

But I can tell you this…… IF , as I did; you just kept on keeping on about something…. you probably deserved them.
