I mean seriously, what is someone supposed to do when making factual posts and here comes Mr Troll calling that person a stupid gash
Since that post was about me.... that comment didnt bother me in the least. I have been around long enough to take insults and keep on going.
Not picking on you here Taz, just wanted to catch the stupid gash quote and a response.
See, when someone does this, the next post should address the content, then say something like, "Hey dude, we don't do the name calling and personal attacks here. We leave them out and stick to the subject."
As should the next post, and maybe the next.
That's what I mean by self policing.
Not a personal rebuttal. Not playing into the feeding frenzy/trolling/emotional knee-jerk reactionism, just a assertion from the group that we don't play that way in this here sandbox.
It really shouldn't be that difficult. There's a limited number of posters on each subject who tend to get reactionary. The remainder, even while sometimes saying incredibly inane crap or being uber nitpicky re verbiage, syntax et al...(By which I mean, almost all of us [8D]) or just flat out wrong (Defined as not agreeing with me [8D][8D]), tend to stay within the lines as dictated by TOS. Convince these folks to lessen the personal crap and things would change quickly.
Of course, that's kinda like asking lunatics to act sane, so it's undoubtedly a dubious concept.
Funny thing though-I run on a bunch of forums cross the net on a variety of topics. Most have no moderation, or at least things have to be catastrophically toxic for someone to be barred, but to a site, the posters behave with far more decorum than I see here, most especially when compared to P&R.
Cripes-P&R makes the yahoo comments section seem like a lake of tranquility.
