[2016-06-11] Crackdown on rudeness

I do know that manufacturers frequent these forums, and the threads within it. I do also know, that every once in a great while. I too post a brief complaint on the direction some manufactures are taking, with these huge multi-thousand lumen lights, and very little heat dissipation capabilities. Lights that can only hold a “burst” mode, for a seemingly ever shorter period of time. 30 seconds?
After all. The CNC milling of fins does cost more, then little to no fins at all. I am sure they would love to get away from as much of that as possible. Again. I do not like this direction.

I feel, that it is my duty to mention from time to time. That I appreciate lights more, if they have been designed with a high ‘sweet spot’. That will handle higher lumens, for a long period of time. If we never mention this, how will they learn how some of us really feel?

Doesn’t mean you have to call names or adopt a “come at me” stance. You don’t need that to argue a point.

Nicest productive place on the Internet.
Where people work together to accomplish what they agree the world needs.

Hi there,i just see my rudeness level mark 2 and i want to know which is the post that are reffering to- Many thanx

Hi there, please check this link:

To be honest,the GT’s wait mixed with the lack of.information, have been putting my patience to limits , but i still don’t see a high level of rudeness to be taken in account just like that - the way some are answering to real issues (i mean the one that have no oficial information,shouldn’t be giving answers assumin one thing or other - example : all the lights have been sent,resulting that wasnt true) - anyhow i apreciate the Teams work ,and3 the hard time they facing issues that neither they have answer at all,Texas Ace have admited it(slow communication with Neal) - and please,just don’t you all blame me or other members with flags for the simple fact of saying the truth ,and if that’s the price to say the truth ,i will take it ,even though i wouldn’t expect it from a democratic culture - surely my english ain’t the best(learned though internet),and many times i admit that is hard for people to understand me,but the same way round,isn’t easy for members to handle so many facts that haven’t been taken into account from the beggining of the GroupBuy , so many of them could of be avoided if the communication would of be as good as the beginning

One rude. Per person. Per post. Possible??.

That would stop the multiple user without a LOT of looking for individual posts from his end.
and IF they were all flagged per Rude push. We could ALL see who is a serial hater, hey.

Just a thort.

Don’t worry about it.

One man’s ‘rude’ is another man’s ‘humor’.

Don’t let the PC dweebs break you down.

It would be nice to see the # of Rude! emitted of the members, to make sure some of them are not really abusing of it - also,understand exactly what the Rude! means ,as is not the same provocking others or just defending a point of view,wich might be accepted or not by others

I might be called by many mathers,but call me rude,now that’s really funy - now,if my answer is at the same level as the question,why would someone have other expectations? I am dealing daily with multiculture persons(300-500 daily) and believe me ,i know where i stand ,with all the respect - i’m still interested to know who called me Rude,as i would be interested to know who am i dealing with

This is the ‘internet’ buddy, where most people hide anonymously behind nicknames and monikers.

Nobody’s going to fess up. I got one three weeks ago and while I have a clue, I don’t give a damn.

Guys, the rude marks aren’t on your permanent record. They go away. If you aren’t a habitual “offender”, it’s really no harm, no foul, and nothing to worry about. It is kind of a way to self police, since we don’t have moderators on this wonderful and open forum. Our admin, and fearless leader, SB, will let you know if you are about to cross a line, or near the danger zone.

I I still believe some are afraid of debate and confuse them with arguing; one thing is clear though,the healthy debates are showing who we are ,what we expect from eachother and how can improve everybody - the RudeFlag,aplying it to debates, reminds me of the old times when the rules where known as the most holly thing in the Earth and whoever don’t accept em,to be punished till it changes his mind - i would agree with the Flags for someone who no matter what ,the only interest is to provoke the others,not really having a reason to defend his acts

I could give….whatever for the flags,but no,i am here to accept if there was my fault ,in whatever i have written; at least the one that marked me with a RudeFlag would be so kind to explain me what have i done wrong,no?

Okay. Maybe whoever ruded you will contact you, but I wouldn’t count on it. I would just let it go and not worry, unless it keeps happening.

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’
