[2016-06-11] Crackdown on rudeness

Besides,conflicts are present allaround family,friends ,comunityā€¦ā€¦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.

ā€œabrasive manner, behaving without consideration for othersā€ now thatā€™s where i donā€™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

Itā€™s weird that so many of my posts have been deleted

Thereā€™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 everyoneā€™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. Thereā€™s really not a lot of ā€œserial hatersā€ 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 werenā€™t inadvertently rude, but donā€™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 youā€™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 donā€™t have a rude button. :innocent:

If you want it,i would hit rude button 1$ :laughing: (tuesdayā€™s deal)

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

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

moderator007, here is a rude button for you to rude flag :-D your previous #490 post: Rude!

Cheers O:)

Of course. ,007 cannot be rude,itā€™s not heā€™s style

My total amount of # of posts have been lowered , probably deleted the GTā€™s thread posts

Ah OK. But isnā€™t your post count back to normal now that the GT thread is back online?

32?? Your still a light weight my friendā€¦ā€¦ :smiley:
And yes sir it goes above 10ā€¦. it goes far above 32 also. :person_facepalming: ā€¦ :+1:

kntxā€¦. As cabfrank saidā€¦. youā€™ll most likely never know who dinged your bell. I never knewā€¦ā€¦

But I can tell you thisā€¦ā€¦ IF , as I did; you just kept on keeping on about somethingā€¦. you probably deserved them.

Nope

ā€œProbablyā€ is a point of view ,depending that personā€™s interest/affection , keeping on about something is ā€¦. again , depending on whoā€™s the one to judge the things,partially or not that much

When I posted comment #481 in this thread, kntxā€™s post count was 122. When I posted comment #484 ~20 minutes later, the post count was 50. It now says 56.

Not sure if that helps, but it looks like something happened during that time.

Iā€™m guessing it did, since he wonā€™t stop arguing with everyone, and having to get the last word.

Teacher, your post was hilarious to me for some reason, and made me laugh. Thanks!

A while back I got hit by an ahole who marked my posts rude in retaliation for comments about a hurricane. He exaggerated the situation while I posted factual information. Iā€™m still here, and my brother is still in Tampa having survived the storm. It seems some new members like to assert their ā€˜powerā€™ by trying to ā€˜strike backā€™ at those they disagree with or contradict them and this ā€˜rudeā€™ system could result in the loss of contributing members if enforced too stringently. After seeing my rude meter leap I nearly bailed and am still hesitant to post due to that person but Iā€™m still here albeit less frequently.

I wonā€™t deny that itā€™s extremely irritating when it does happen unfairly. Iā€™m just saying that itā€™s not a common occurrence.
