[2016-06-11] Crackdown on rudeness

Sounds good, thanks. I think some have probably been edited anyway. I hope this is successful, and returns our great forum to the way you, and most of us want it.

My pleasure, and thanks for the suggestion related to this feature that you made in another thread.

This seems like a silly and unnecessary addition to the site. I don’t notice much rudeness on this site.

that difference in “reading and interpretation of the written” is maybe the reason that some people are rude and cannot even imagine others are hurt :wink:

that button might help to grow even more internationally

Awesome!

Fantastic!!

Have you read the Cometa threads?

(They're overflowing with rude and conflictive posts.)

Nice. Will be interesting to see how it works out.

Why do I now have the urge to see my rude level hit 100/10? :crown:

How many rude reports does it take to ghost a post?

You’re all crazy!

Mark me rude

As you wish. By the way, once a few people mark your comment rude, it gets hidden. That’s not an easy way to reach 100.

And besides, crazy is my middle name.

If enough people mark a comment as rude, and the comment disappears, what happens if the rude comment was comment #1? Does the entire post disappear?

Wauw interesting sb56637!
Hope it’ll help.

Will there be any indication that a post was removed, something like?

Or

The atmosphere was so toxic lately i though about giving up on BLF (wich comprises of 99.999% fantastic people), i’m probably not alone, this is a very welcomed and smart solution in the spirit of BLF, thanks SB.

Now if we just had a way to mark someone’s behavior as rude when they pull a kreisler. :wink:
(he had an ongoing habit of posting rude things and then deleting it an hour later)

Doesn’t seem like it’s an issue though. I haven’t noticed that happening since he left.

I did a BLF search, and I had the opportunity to mark the results as rude, lewd, or conflictive!

I actually came to the thread to mention the exact same thing. ^

Why is the quote button missing from the OP? Or has it never been there? As far as rudeness giving you severe headaches sb, l can you send pills not available over the counter that will fix this as well as other problems with no problem. Cheap to. :smiley:

As a professional that works in mental health I see general increase in emotional immaturity and poor communication skills among certain groups of people. I have my theories about the cause but no hard data. It seems that the increase in communication methods (i.e social media) has led the a poor ability to communicate with people in real time and desensitization regarding their actions towards others.

Bravo.

Overall my experience with this forum has been positive

Also, please remember that BLF is not Reddit or Slashshot, and I don’t want it to turn into that either. So please do not use the Rude! button just because you don’t like or don’t agree with the post or the poster. It is intended exclusively for use on rude, lewd, or conflictive posts.
