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

[Zelda]

Going to be honest, this is pretty trivial and if you have a problem with it then that's sad. I frequently get notices which I disagree with but arguing them is pointless because neither side wants to lose ground and it's incredibly subjective anyway. At the end of the day moderators have full discretion and you should trust them to make the right call 95% of the time and stop panicking because you got a user-note and a PM telling you off.

Read the thread and u will see that it concerns both sides as we are both angry .

Ikr especially considering according to the rules I'm not allowed to see stuff concerning stuff about me and not even allowed to see what people have said to me?

Yes ... I wouldn't mind if I got told by the mod who removes it what was in it .... But Instead mods seem to think that "oh these people don't care what's been said about them, they enjoy things being said behind their back" where's the fairness in that?

If I told you, what'd be the point in removing it?

Then 1 of 3 things then -

-don't keep removing rude things that are only mild, can understand racism and stuff though
-offer the option to ask for it by pming whoever removed
-the moderators clearly need to get some priorities with this, removing it only moves arguements from thread to vms or habbo or pms, so not really preventing anything unless people are told what is said so they can laugh at the person irl and move on

True that arguments are often continued via visitor messages, but they are always dealt with separately.

That's a great attitude to have... Saying "it's the forum rules" isn't an excuse. The rules are there to protect users, here it shows that the user it was trying to protect didn't need protecting so obviously the rules are flawed hence why we are discussing it in a feedback thread.

But saying "it's the forum rules" is an excuse...because you kinda agreed to follow them when you signed up to the forum.

Oh + @Zuth; the old saying

I would rather someone was rude to my face then talk about me behind my back

Appears quite frequently about this sorta stuff tbh, surely when you see both sides thoroughly against what your saying it should click?

[Zuth]

It wasn't against the forum rules, surely being disrespectful is subjective, You telling yuen not to post was disrespectful in my opinion, here the person who was 'disrespected' is blatantly telling you that she would rather you left the post than remove it and that she wasn't offended. Why can't mods use common sense rather than seeing something that might/could be against the rules depending on how it's interpreted and straight away editing and warning?

How can she say she was not offended when she didnt see the post?

[Samantha]

So Ben edited the post and put the warning 'stay on topic and respect other users' why set it in stone? Why not say 'please do not use chat that may offend users. Established that Jan wasn't offended and didn't feel disrespected (some how) to it so why use that warning. I think it would be more appropriate to put the latter quote (even if the post was/wasn't obeying the rules).

There was no point in removing it.

It feels like you are trying to take over the empty position of outspoken and often incorrect moderator which Chris left behind.

I think Matt needs to hire more capable mods if they can't grasp a simple point after 6 pages.

[Chippiewill]

Why is it 'sad' trying to improve a currently faulty system?

It would be a fair point if that were your aim, really you should have made a thread in this forum saying why you think it's unfair rather than airing you dirty laundry here because you were to inpatient to wait for the PM to arrive.

Also some of the things you're saying would be better suited to:

Urm that's established after I see the post because you haven't removed it, then I either most likely accept what has been said and love on or very unlikely then report it

[Chippiewill]

I think it would be more appropriate to put the latter quote (even if the post was/wasn't obeying the rules).

Sorry but that's just nitpicking for a bad argument. Moderators shouldn't have to be lawyers and close up the loopholes behind them.
