Can moderating just stay as it is

[Chris]

Would Matt telling Lee to 'use his brain' be rude though? I know it's not that major or anything but it could be borderline.

No because that would be ridiculous. We're trying to relax the rules.

I don't think any1 would be so sad enough to copy and paste the rules tbh. Never know though...

Me and @Kardan; did not so long ago in this thread... -awkward-

It just doesn't seem like mods are using their trusty tool 'discretion' very often anymore.

I think it's a little obvious to spot what right and wrong is:

Don't be rude
-Inserts massive opinion here-


Don't be rude
-Leaves blank empty gap for moderators edit-


If it's spam and someone replies 'Don't be so rude!!!' you can tell they're joking so it should be left alone but if someone makes a massive rant in discuss anything and it's a serious thread, then some ejit comes along and says Don't be rude -Leaves back empty gap for moderators edit- then it should be edited.

Another fansite stole HabboxForum's rules so it wouldn't surprise me .

Anyway, think context depends on what gets moderated or not, maybe a simpler version of the rule as a lot appear unsure what is correct or not.

He means in a context of impersonating a moderator.

And no, whatMatt said isn't offensive. I mean, if moderators have to take offensive sentences into context, then why can't they take jokes into context?

Are you openly admitting you've probably broken the rules

Well no I don't think I've broken any forum rules in this thread. Some people may find it rude, others may not. If people have that much of a problem with the post then I'll simply write a PM to myself telling me off.

However, as said before in previous threads if Lee wished to report that wouldn't it have to be sorted? I thought that occurred if the person it was aimed at took offence, or has that changed too?

Nah I'll tell Sierk about you, he'll warn you in a year or two.

That's a load of crap if that's how it works, what if I reported someone for calling me ginger or tall? Just because someone is offended doesn't mean its a rule break.

I'm not saying it is but that's what we were told previously, I know in some cases it's obvious when it isn't a rule break etc.
