Please do not...offend... other users

[Glen Coco]

Sorry I didn't read this thread.
But I agree, countless posts of mine have been completely removed for being 'rude' when they have not been offensive and the person it was targeted at had already seen it.
Please explain the point in removing a post for being offensive when the person targeted had seen it already?

I've never understood the logic behind "You could offend someone" arguments that seem to come from moderators, when the word "could" is the keyword - they could take offense, but it doesn't mean they will take offense. Loads of people seem to get these edits in their posts, yet the general forum demographic (13+) do not need to be spoon fed or protected like Under 13s. Obviously you should keep the peace, but sometimes the peacekeepers become the problem.

tbh when it comes to someone saying stuff like "Are you an idiot?" etc then it should only be edited if the person it's directed at reacts back or reports the post

It's like this post that I got an edit for

http://www.habboxforum.com/showthrea...50#post7512950 (my post is in her post below's quote cos mods failz)

she replied back to me saying "I know, I know."

if she reported my post or started having a go at me for saying it then it should have been edited, by her reply she obviously didn't find what I said rude so I don't see why I had to get an edit for it

What's more shocking is that none of those posts in that thread are pointless posts. Someone has been at the red crayola felt tip pen in that thread They are all in reply to a previous post and serve a purpose. Your post didn't even need editing considering someone left what you said in Lizzie's quote, so it's not offensive. Talk about poor use of powers, that entire thread needs reporting :S

Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill! LOL. Chippie and Inseriousity made the most sense to me. I am quite frankly amazed to see an Assistant Department Manager make such damning comments about the mod department though. There has to be some uniformity in edits otherwise the forum users would not know where they were at all. This did not need a thread at all. A pm would have done to the forum managers.

Well if a thread wasn't made then the other side wouldn't be hears would it, me for instance who the supposed "rude comment" was aimed at would not be able to share our disgust at the system and agree with the warned side x

[FlyingJesus]

Similarly, if mods edit a person's post when they've faked pictures of themselves then users who weren't online at the time can't see the offending images and share their disgust... right?

[Zelda]

Fj we're on about the person it was aimed at in the first place, so other people get to see it but not the person who was aimed at, and they don't even get the option of having the mod tell them what it said? That's what half this arguement on this thread has been for tbh, the other half for those who think their post got unfairly removed for being rude in the first place.

@Catzsy; am I that assistant manager or someone else. Anyway the post shouldnt really be removed when it was asking a question. Of course I got the 'it's a rhetorical question' so what its still a question and if you're offended by the word idiot well.

Ikr Sam if u can't take the heat get out of the kitchen to paraphrase a horribly over used saying. If people are offended by simple little things then quite frankly what are they doing on the internet tbh?

Plus rosie about the ass manager that commented, if people have an opinion about a department its better said then kept in otherwise noone improves, and quite frankly most people would have a good few comments about the mod department but just aren't the slating type always, but clearly still get a lot of sparing when chance comes.
