Doh, I think I’ve been mashing those two terms for a while now :person_facepalming: Edited.
That’s a funny analogy CRX :laughing: Kinda like Kindergarten Cop. The kids push all the right buttons to bring about chaos
We once had a “Three ‘rudes’ and you’re out!” thing here.
It worked so well that I didn’t even realize it had disappeared until just now. If things start getting inappropriate, maybe we could have that reinstated.
Things are not getting inappropriate per se , just the forum is quite sizeable for our one and only Admin/moderator. He prides this forum on not having over bearing moderation controls. To do that we all need to be on board and part of it.
I think that you should be specific in your allegations, so we know who to burn at the stake.
Otherwise, you’re just a Bolshevik Communist killing everybody you don’t agree with.
General aspersions don’t do us any favors, IMO, obviously.
Chris
That’s pretty funny except the assumption that I want everyone to agree with me.
FTFY 
Behave, or Mistress Helga will swat you into submission.
That’s a weird CPF reference.
^ hm, there is nothing in that picture that reminds me of submission or CPF.
Thanks for writing this down pinkpanda. Was noticing a change also and did not like it.
I do have an example if needed. The D4 muggle mode problem.
I understand that it is a serious problem that needs to be addressed, but the overdone naming and shaming is just not appropriate.
Well respected members like Toykeeper and Hank get all kinds of reactions, while they are more than available for support en sorting things out in the best way.
We wouldn’t have these great light without these people.
Be careful what you post. This place might be turning into ‘Greta.’
Chris
SB will never have anything to do with that type of staunch Naziism.
Speaking of Greta… here’s a blast from the past:
Keep telling yourself that.
You’ll sleep better.
And you’re using “Nazisim” wrong.
Just sayin’.
Chris
Not classy at all mate. You want to boycott Klarus for their tasteless advertisement, and yet you say things that are equally as tasteless.
I was trying not to mention examples or call out particular threads or members. What’s said is said, rehashing conversations is kind of inviting the wrong response. If members could be a little more mindful in future postings then squabbles can be kept to a minimum.
I followed the thread and have noticed only one person being rude. This person got not much attention. I find self-moderation working there.
Imo ,
A small minority of peoples ,may have the muggle mood bug stoping their sense of humour working properly. Hey peeps , get a reflash.
No one should get the hump over a thread or post that they don’t agree with , if it’s not liked just move on or discuss it sensibly , we’re mostly grownups here just have fun & enjoy.
Ps , sb is doing a fine job , we have no need for mods here.
“I’m the BLF admin, and I approve this message, or at least the OP.”
Thanks pinkpanda3310 for posting this, you bring up some good points.
On a positive note, I did notice recently that the majority of the participants in a large thread completely ignored the provocative posts of an obvious troll. As a result, he seems to have backed off, because he wasn’t getting a reaction. That’s the way it should work.
It was never a firm rule based on “Rude” hits. Each case is different, but it usually has more to do with the number of times I’ve warned a user via PM, his/her reaction to my warnings, and his/her behavior from that point on. The Report button does continue to help me make more objective moderation decisions by taking into account how many other users also consider a user’s posts to be out of line. So sometimes a user gets more than three warnings, but others also get one or even no warnings, depending on the individual case.
I like the fact that BLF is ‘self-moderated’ and I understand that it means we must moderate our own ‘self’ for it to work best. But I think it should be okay for ‘mature’ members to help ‘moderate’ others by gently reminding of the rules. Notice, I didn’t say by arguing or by “shouting down” anybody. To me, it would be preferable to use that kind of gentle reminder as a ‘warning shot’ before using the ‘Report’ button.
