Quoted:The thread that got my proverbial goat was Paul’s lockdown of fluffy the Cats traveling through Colorado with mags over 15 rnds. A misdemeanor in that jurisdiction and a far cry from murder. View Quote |

And under_score types using the report button as a weapon
Staff doesn't even see that it is being using by leftists to decimate the older conservative members of this site |

I am really surprised at that. I figured a very small percentage would be reports. I've been here off and on since the old board. I've hit the report button once and never have had anyone on ignore. Maybe we should get rid of those features.

But a lot of them are just sea lawyering of the CoC out of spite (often after being recently warned themselves for doing some dumb shit). I'm not being used - I just quietly close them. I've been a GD denizen for 15 years. It's hard to get one over on me as a spiteful troll. |

Stopped reading the post where you said what people think is trolling is really just people expressing their opinion
Hope someone else under the age of 50 pointed this out to you, but that's just quality trolling. Fact of the matter, the mods on this forum had no fucking idea what concerned trolling was a couple years back. You have to stay up on trends otherwise you get steam rolled. |

Also keep in mind, there are agent provocateur's who literal job is to stir the pot and keep people divided and bickering. There have been several reports by government agencies that Russian and Chinese and Korean infiltrators are on all kinds of internet web boards just to stir the pot. It's some form of cyber war espionage or some shit. When you think about it, it's a pretty secure and clever form of political weaponry to bring down a society from within. View Quote |

Quoted: Agreed. If you can't disagree with someone without getting insulting then you have zero social skills. View Quote Who controls if you get insulted? Hint: it all centers around your (hyper sensitive) emotions. We live in a world of snowflakes that can’t be offended or else..... grow a pair of balls man. It’s the internet. If you don’t like what someone has to say then look the other way. |

Let me get this straight. You think that personal attacks on other members should be allowed? I don't really care what anybody calls me - just as long as they call me for vittles. |

This does account for most reports. I remember guys who were troublemakers years ago who did try to use the report function to take out people they didn’t like, but it was pretty transparent and all of them are gone now. I wish more of today’s problem members would hand me an opportunity like that. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Re: Reporting
Shouldn’t the accused get to confront their accuser...especially before sentence is executed? Seems I read that in some dusty old document somewhere.... |

It's getting late. Hopefully you have something lined up for later.

The report function should be done away with and just let members use email if they see something egregious. |

@joker581 @Subnet I'd hope that, if this is the case, Site Staff would have realized that they are being used. I do, however, remember that _A certain member was known to deliberately bait members to lose their minds and end up violating CoC in responding. He finally got his, as they eventually do, but he did leave damage in his wake. I don't know if anyone got banned over him or not. That's just one. However, if I were in any position of authority, I'd want to take a look at how many people caught warnings, locks, or bans over our outright trolls or Shareblue/DU component. Yeah, I know, that label is unproven. However, at some point, trends and their results become characterization. ETA: Added subnet to this in order to respond to both he and joker. Also ETA: Forgive me if I didn't communicate well, still on my first cup of coffee. |
