Hi Shades. I would still be interested in your opinion as to whether implying Jersey Girl is a battered woman is a "fair game" comment "about the motives of people participating in threads."
I don't know. It depends on whether he was commenting on the way her posts sound vs. whether he was insinuating that that's what she herself must be.
There are no words. This shameful comment is so very, very wrong it makes me sick.

In the meantime, before we recruit more moderators--and no one is allowed to nominate anyone; the person him or herself must volunteer--I need to know three things:
If Atlanticmike and Cultellus's posts toward others are qualitatively different from everyone else's posts toward Ajax18, and
If there's a difference between calling us out on what they perceive to be our negative behavior vs. mere trolling, and whether & how we can know on which side of the line our two new posters fall, and
If the former, whether there's a kernel or more of truth in any of what they've been saying.
1. M and Cs posts do not differ qualitatively from some posts that have been directed to Sub and Ajax. Permission to speak freely as to why?
2. Calling out bad behavior is qualitatively different than what M and C are doing — derailing multiple threads for the sole purpose of disrupting conversations is trolling. If their internet in calling folks here to repentance were the improvement of the board, It could be justifiable. But it’s clear their internet is malicious — pure trolling.
3. Of course there is a kernel in truth in what they say. Certain people here violate the civility rules and the derail rules. And almost no one (including me) follows the swearing rule. Again, permission to speak freely?

Pannycakey is a pissboy. That is an important omission from the cross-post.
Lem, Cultellus is a small person trapped in a small life who needs this board. It was easy enough to flip his game back on him better than he gave it and he hasn’t been able to deal with that ever since.
I have to admit, though, that it’s fascinating watching him slide deeper into dysfunction (and Tourette’s) as he obsesses over half-a-dozen strangers on a message board.

We have a word censor that filters out swearage if one objects to it.

Yes, we do. But what does the rule say?

Yes, they are stated in terms of movie ratings. What movie rating does the F-word fall under, answering as a clone of Shades?
RI why are you asking me this? Are you testing me as a potential mod or something? I've already served a mod here. Do you think I would suggest putting out a call for mods if I hadn't already done time myself?
The F word, depending on it's usage can fall within PG-13 guidelines or require an R rating in which case it would be moved to Telestial/Prison. That is to say "That's screwed up" (PG-13) is different in usage than "I think you and RI should get a room a damn each other." (R rating).
The problem I see involves trolling and spamming. I've stated it repeatedly. I've proposed solutions.
