    I guess that’s the problem with having the users “mod” the content. Some folk have the ability to be outraged at trivia.

    for posting a picture of a woman breastfeeding a cat.

    😆

    Reckon you can break post reporting down in to 3 camps

    1. Guardians – those who see it as a responsibility to report gender sterotyping, bad language, racial abuse etc. Fair enough I suppose as long as the ‘report post’ button gets hit after a little bit of thought as to the context of the comment.

    2. Delicates – those ‘gentle’ souls who are quite willing to start fights but back out of open confrontation and would rather revert to moderation to get their way. I suspect that these people have an internet persona that is quite different to how they behave in real life.

    3. Axe grinders – people without a pair of fully developed testicles who decide they don’t like someone and make a point of causing trouble for them.

    NB. And before anyone specific gets upset, calm down – this is a general observation. You know who you are.

    I don’t want to get into a fight about it Yossarian but I feel that your post is stereotyping too much so I’ve reported it.

    He’s just called all the female members Axe Grinders. Definitely reporting that.

    Nah… I didn’t think about it so your stereotype is incorrect. Sorry.

    LOL at Darcy… at least he didn’t say battle axe grinders.

    It’s not like anyone is forced to read any particular post.

    how exactly am I meant to know the content before reading it? A bit like me screaming f off at you and arguing you dont need to listen

    As for this being real life? do me a favour…

    well you are at odds with the owners and the people who run this …does the forum just self generate without someone having to do something in their real life ? when it was hacked was it not real for STW? Users seemed a tad annoyed as well. People have been sued for what they have written on the Internet. In what sense is it not real? You may be confusing taking it seriously and real here.

    bizarrely 🙄 – I was talking about my life not theirs so I’m quite comfortable being at odds with them – if it’s OK with you that is?

    You can have an opinion so long as it does not fall foul of the rules in the way you express it. You need to remember its not a private conversation.

    I’ve never reported anyone (bar spammers), I’m confident there will always be folk more upset about stuff than me.

    reporting folk for being offensive I get, what I struggle with is getting reported when I am clearly having a laugh.

    I mean FFS who reported my “big hitters” thread? You really need to get out more and get a life.

    A simple complaint form would suffice maybe points for insults rather than an immediate ban

    JY you miss my point – of course a lot of my output here is a complete waste of time aimed at amusing myself and others…but if it’s not really offensive to a proper grown up then why report it?

    There’s more value in it to me than “pics of red frame with green wheels please” threads.

    reporting folk for being offensive I get, what I struggle with is getting reported when I am clearly having a laugh.

    This is the bit you seem to find hard to understand – what you consider having a laugh can be highly offensive to others. Its not your intent that counts – its the effect upon others,

    The joke I told that I got banned for is funny -and I was clearly having a laugh. However the ban was appropriate ‘cos it was offensive

    It was me Al. I just report all your posts. I do it on Mleh as well.

    Really though the mods probably just shut it down to stop everyone arguing.

    Fair point TJ but I still don’t see what was offensive about my big hitters threads or humerous pokes at Fred (and you) for instance…I trust Fred to be big enough (and you) not to be reporting them

    Didn’t see them so cannot comment. Could well be just to stop rows brewing

    It’s that context/tone thing again Al. It’s just some words on a screen and they can be easily misconstrued. Remember when the winky icon was banned on mleh?

    Threads aren’t just closed or deleted for being offensive, they’re closed if they going to insight arguments or deemed as trolling. They’re not always reported either some we do spot the thread titles or OP can give us clues to what it’s going to be like.

    Right stepping into the background again on this thread.

    cynic-al, it seems to me that your self-perception and how others perceive you are miles apart. You’re obviously an intelligent guy – I’m sure you’re perfectly nice in real life but it might be best if, before you post, you think for a second, “how is this going to be perceived by others?” If you do, and you then don’t give a shit (which it seems you don’t a lot of the time), then you can’t whinge when you get heavily moderated. Tbh, you do ask for it a lot of the time.
