Title: Major DV announcement mods WANT you to see
Post by: Moolah! on Mar 23 07 02:29
Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse, and it's not even April Fool's Day yet...

     [TABLE id=Table2 style="COLOR: midnightblue; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; 10pt: " cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=10 width="100%" border=0] [TBODY] [TR bgColor=gainsboro] [TD style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" vAlign=top align=left]modulusruptura [/TD] [TD colSpan=2][img title="" height=15 alt="" hspace=3 src="http://www.discovervancouver.com/forum/icon_posticon.gif" width=15 border=0] [FONT size=1]Posted - 3/23/2007 1:42:45 AM[/FONT]   [HR noShade SIZE=1]    After consulting with other mods, I and the others were not happy with the current limbo that the discretionary situation with harrassment etc. policies. We have come to a decision that the best solution would be to throw things wide open.

From now on, unless otherwise announced, there will be no deletions or banning for harrassing, stalking, insulting, flaming posts.

Posting of personal information and pictures without permission will continue to be punished by banning.

So if someone is bothering you or following you, fight back, ignore, or go to ds. On DV the mods will not step in. You guys and gals are on your own.

 Not too surprising actually, considering all the reluctance to clean up and all the hateful messages that're deliberately left on there. (Of course complaints about them are promptly deleted!)

 They can always say "We were kidding - har, har"....

 ... or they might be testing the legal limits of "free speech" in Canada. Sort of like, how far can we push it, before they shut us down?

 What do you think?

  this is not a matter of 'pushing it'... it has nothing to do with hate speech or anything like that... this is simply a policy that a few of the mods have chosen to follow in the handling of the daily squabbles and flaming that go with the forum... if a poster wants to venture into the free and open frontier that is the internet forum called dv, don't whine to the mods if someone insults you or flames you.... it goes with the territory. We are not going to participate in the kindergarten atmosphere of tattletales and whining and crying and he said she said and so and so said something mean to me kind of crap... If a poster can't handle being flamed, there is an easy solution.

  A few of the mods, but not all of them? How about having a consistent and unified policy of how such incidents should be handled?



I'm not a legal expert by any means, but I have a feeling that what you're describing is unconstitutional. There's only so far you can push the law before you feel its breath on your back. And I think this is coming pretty close.



Then there's also the curious case of some mods' orchestrating, if not tacitly approving and encouraging such attacks, to fulfill their own personal agendas.



So it's not just [FONT face="Times New Roman"]"[/FONT][FONT face="Times New Roman"]the kindergarten atmosphere of tattletales and whining and crying"[/FONT] but major bullying, harrassment and attempts of intimidation that're involved in some of the daily bullshit that takes place on DV.



Methinks this kind of change in policy seems to serve their interest best, since there won't be any disagreement with other mods.



Perfect.

Aside from what I outlined above there's even a larger issue:

  > don't whine to the mods if someone insults you or flames you....

  Can I ask you then: What the fuk are you guys there for?



Do you have any role, any function, any responsibility there at all?



As I wrote in a message on DV:



 [TABLE id=Table2 style="COLOR: midnightblue; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; 10pt: " cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=10 width="100%" border=0] [TBODY] [TR bgColor=whitesmoke] [TD style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" vAlign=top align=left]Raging Poodle![/TD] [TD colSpan=2] [img title="" height=15 alt="" hspace=3 src="http://www.discovervancouver.com/forum/icon_posticon.gif" width=15 border=0][FONT size=1]Posted - 3/23/2007 3:35:02 AM[/FONT]

  [HR noShade SIZE=1]  

 You might as well say "We don't give a fuk" and get it over with instead of mincing your words.

Are you guys all fed up with being mods? Why not just quit the damn thing instead of playing these stupid games?

Ok.  Might be a little stringent but I am surprised DV does not have any kind User Agreement whatsoever, not even an 'Enter at your own risk', before you go into the forums.

Most other forums have this.

 Did you know the other forums that are all part of the whole DV club (they're listed at the bottom of the home page of DV) have those kind of user agreements and they have very stringent rules?  Why the DV web-site administrators are so particular about rules on those forums and not DV continues to mystify me.

  For example on ClubZone here's some of the rules they have:

  [A href="http://www.clubzone.com/idealbb/rules.html"]http://www.clubzone.com/idealbb/rules.html[/A]

  [SPAN class=whitenorm]1. No Racism, No Threatening, No (citing) Victimization (via PM) or Hateful posts / Retaliation of any kind against a member, or group of members. Hateful post will NOT be tolerated. Any Racist or Threatening posts will result in the suspension of the user account. Don't test your limit. [/SPAN]

[SPAN class=whitenorm][/SPAN]

[SPAN class=whitenorm][SPAN class=whitenorm]2.  No Cursing or Swear words in the Forums. We encourage you to use our Communities as a forum to debate topics, but please use proper adjectives to express yourself. We do not tolerate circumvention of our word filter or abuse upon another member. [/SPAN][/SPAN]

[SPAN class=whitenorm][SPAN class=whitenorm][/SPAN][/SPAN]

[SPAN class=whitenorm][SPAN class=whitenorm][SPAN class=whitenorm]3,  We ask that any nudity over the video feeds be kept to private rooms, or to private conversations (with both parties consent). Sometimes we (everyone) just don't want to know what happens in your bedroom. Also, please do not ask members to break the nudity rules. Just because they are on cam, doesn't mean they have to give you a peep show. Calling out things like "show me your t**s" may get you banned. [/SPAN][/SPAN][/SPAN]

[SPAN class=whitenorm][SPAN class=whitenorm][SPAN class=whitenorm][/SPAN][/SPAN][/SPAN]

[SPAN class=whitenorm][SPAN class=whitenorm][SPAN class=whitenorm][SPAN class=whitenorm]6.  No Nudity or Pornographic Material, graphic or otherwise. This includes sick jokes & bad language. Any displayed images or links to such content will not be tolerated.
Additional: Bodypaint is not the same as clothing. These images will also be removed. [/SPAN][/SPAN][/SPAN][/SPAN]

  [SPAN class=whitenorm][SPAN class=whitenorm]12.  If you are a long standing member, act like one. Lead by example and assist other newer members rather then attacking them. We look upon our veteran members to use this opportunity to teach the newer members the appropriate way to use the message boards and live chat. [/SPAN][/SPAN]

 DV isn't that kind of site (pointing to the rules above). And Raging Poodle, do you have a job? Seems all you do is obsess over DV and come over to DS and post and rant and rave. You are trying to protect your girlfriends, but dude, she was being ridiculous last night in her accusations, it was a joke...anyone can see it. Lighten up man, this is the internet. Suck it up.

 Interesting.  Over here, if someone was "bothering" you, "harrassing" you or even "stalking" you, that person would be in deep shit from Teh Borken!  

 It's interesting to know that the mods there know how to regurgitate what Mike just said.  Why couldn't Mike post it himself?  Oh, is the Lord too busy?  *rolls eyes*

[/p] Yep. Something like stalking would be cause for an immediate data dump to the relevant authorities. I have no intention of letting anyone use this site as a platform to commit crimes against someone else like stalking, etc.

Well, I guess the theory over there is that it isn't a daycare centre and adults should know what they are getting into on an anonymous board.

That's a nice theory.

But I know for a fact that a lot of people actually mind being stalked, having their home life in the real world messed with, and all their personal data published to the web. It's all fun and games until your home phone, wife's picture, and your Social Security number get posted on a public bulletin board. Then suddenly it's not so funny. And unfortunately, a lot of adults don't know what they're getting into on a supposedly "anonymous" bulletin board.

You've got to be kidding me.  Adults "should" know what they're getting into?  For goodness sake.  Why do you think that the NBC (or whatever Network it is) constantly does shows about the "Internet" world full of Preys who like to go after younger girls?  These are adults and some of them are married with kids.

 That's funny!  I recall "real" names used on DV.  I recall seeing tenkani's real name but with *** in between the letters smeared over on DV by some hater.  As well, I've seen IP addresses posted by the mods.  Oh, and I've also seen Kits who had accidently copied his email signature on a post and then some troll copied and pasted his contact details all over DV.

 Well, that's not what was going on over there last night, read the threads about which this is all referring to, then  you will understand. I know you all have major history over there, but this isn't what they are talking about at all. It's called flaming, not harassing.

Title: What this means... Re: Major DV announcement mods WANT you to see
Post by: Moolah! on Mar 23 07 04:32


Last night after posting a couple of messages on DS (mostly addressed to modulus) it dawned on me this morning that there's more to this story than meets the eye.



I believe at a symbolic level, this so called major policy announcement is modulus' way of saying "I quit".



There may've been some disagreements before, but push came to shove last night when raor asked for modulus' help in dealing with a repeat harrasser:



At that moment ydv jumps in in her capacity as a mod, and completely ignores and denies that any kind of harrassment was taking place.





 [TABLE id=Table2 style="COLOR: midnightblue; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; 10pt: " cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=10 width="100%" border=0] [TBODY] [TR bgColor=gainsboro] [TD style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" vAlign=top align=left]ydvmod[/TD] [TD colSpan=2][img title="" height=15 alt="" hspace=3 src="http://www.discovervancouver.com/forum/icon_posticon.gif" width=15 border=0][FONT size=1]Posted - 3/22/2007 11:31:34 PM[/FONT]   [HR noShade SIZE=1] [FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica"][SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"]maybe if you would leave me alone i would ask the mod to just delete the offending posts and  let you go with a warning, but you use so many handles to abuse me.  how could i get the reassurance you'll stay out of my way?[/SPAN][BR style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"][BR style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"][SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"]if you're willing to leave me alone (under any nickname), i'm willing to ask the mods to only give you a warning instead of a second banning.[/SPAN]

I don't think it works that way raor. You can't ask for someone to be banned only cause you don't like them or cause they say things you don't like.

Harassment and stalking are what happens over several threads and over several days. It usually involves posting personal information of a poster and I don't think either is the case here.

As a matter of fact, if you look at it that way, your constant accusations that a certain poster[/FONT][FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica"] is harassing you[/FONT][FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica"] (even though the posts you are referring to are posted anonymously), are also a form of harassment.
[/FONT][/TD][/TR][/TBODY][/TABLE]



Contradicting herself, twisting and deliberately misinterpreting everything enough to suggest that raor is the one perpetrating the harrassment.



She confounds the issue further by making it as difficult as possible to identify who's actually harrassing her:



 [TABLE id=Table2 style="COLOR: midnightblue; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; 10pt: " cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=10 width="100%" border=0] [TBODY] [TR bgColor=gainsboro] [TD style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" vAlign=top align=left]ydvmod[/TD] [TD colSpan=2][img title="" height=15 alt="" hspace=3 src="http://www.discovervancouver.com/forum/icon_posticon.gif" width=15 border=0][FONT size=1]Posted - 3/22/2007 11:47:03 PM[/FONT]   [HR noShade SIZE=1] [FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica"][FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica"][SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"]She is the one who always harasses me - to the point of finding it necessary to ask for assistance in dealing with the matter, from the moderating team.[/SPAN]

There are at least three different posters among those that you identify as being only viv. I don't think mods should ever interfere in cases like this. It becomes different when personal information and/or RL details are revealed.
[/FONT][/FONT][/TD][/TR][/TBODY][/TABLE]

  (Hello? You're the mod, you're the one who has access to IPs. So how hard is it to identify and warn those individuals?)



But no, DV mods are potted plants. They're not supposed interfere. Even when harrassment goes on for weeks and months, spanning across a number of threads... (I'm speaking from a variety of past incidents, not just this one.)



Anyhow at that moment modulus shows up, and after a quick examination of the case he makes his decision known:



[TABLE id=Table2 style="COLOR: midnightblue; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; 10pt: " cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=10 width="100%" border=0] [TBODY] [TR bgColor=gainsboro] [TD style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" vAlign=top align=left]modulusruptura[/TD] [TD colSpan=2][img title="" height=15 alt="" hspace=3 src="http://www.discovervancouver.com/forum/icon_posticon.gif" width=15 border=0][FONT size=1]Posted - 3/23/2007 12:20:33 AM[/FONT]   [HR noShade SIZE=1] ok, the situation is as follows, I looked at the link that raor posted, at the beginning of the thread, and what viv has posted in that thread constitutes harrassment, in that it is a continued behaviour. the postings were completely off topic and were harrassing

viv does know that this kind of behaviour is not tolerated, and this is not a first offence

if there was ever any doubt in her mind that this kind of behaviour not be defined as harrassing, that doubt is no longer accepted and I am giving a FINAL WARNING

a ban is justified now, but I am giving one last chance, ANY HINT of this kind of harrassing behaviour toward any of the posters that you have been stalking will be dealt with with a long term ban of no less than a month

[/TD][/TR][/TBODY][/TABLE]




Note the strong wording, and how his judgement differs so dramatically from ydv's.

Ok.  Might be a little stringent but I am surprised DV does not have any kind User Agreement whatsoever, not even an 'Enter at your own risk', before you go into the forums.

 Unless things have changed, isn't there a warning before you make any post on DV stating that certain things are out of bounds? It may not go far enough for some people, but it's not like there is no guidance at all for what's acceptable.

  As far as a "user agreement", that seems more appropriate for a board with registration.

  I have mixed feelings about the whole "harassment" issue. I've seen posters persistently harassed by f*cktards because they couldn't deal with rejection. These are genuine stalker type situations where a poster becomes obsessed with the object of their desires and the obsession changes from unwatned effection to hatred. TUX is a prime example. SG is another. In those cases banning makes sense. But in other cases, a user makes enemies by stirring shit and provoking people, and then when they find themselves the victim of karma, they demand protection from the mods.

  This is where the whole thing becomes incredibly subjective. If you crack down on all persistent grief, you remove the element of karma. Someone may feel free to make enemies, secure in the knowledge that they will be protected from the lingering effects of their own asshattery. A couple of great examples spring to mind but I will just leave it at that.

Ok, laundry is folded and dishes are done, so back to my commentary on what I think is behind this annoucement:



I might be wrong but If I'm perceiving this correctly, modulus comes across as a gentle soul.  I'm getting the impression that this is the kind of individual that loathes stepping on anyone's toes for fear of hurting that person.



And you've all seen the discrepancy between his perception and another mod's. They were practically polar opposites.



 In this case, he appears to be stuck between a rock and a hard place:[/DIV]



On one hand he has his common sense tugging at his consience on matters pertaining to harrassment, bullying, intimidation, stalking, etc.



And on the other, he has the gentle side admonishing him: Don't hurt anyone!



So he made up that policy statement (which he wasn't even authorized to decide on anyway) simply because he perceives that is what's expected of him if he wants to get along with everyone without hurting anyone:



"... there will be no deletions or banning for harrassing, stalking, insulting, flaming posts."




It's actually an ethical dilemna.

He doesn't want to let anyone down.

He doesn't want to hurt anyone...



So he might as well give an advance warning to everyone that [FONT color=#000000]from now on you can not count on me to do what I'm here to do. Because if I take action there's another mod opposing my decisions, and I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. [/FONT]



The way I see it he can not even say "I quit" because if he did, he would be implicating a fellow mod.

  So in his confusion he creates a senseless policy statement.



He might end up getting burnt for it - because he was the one who posted it. (Although it was posted because of someone else.)



It's almost like an invitation: I can't quit, so fire me.



I wonder what the media would think if they became aware of these latest changes. Because they were asking Mike during the interview, why is there constant racism and filth on DV?



Because of situations like this.  [A onclick="addImg('icon/icon_smile_tongue.gif')" href="jvascript:void(0)"](http://www.discovervancouver.com/forum/icon_smile_tongue.gif)[/A]

Post by: tenkani on Mar 23 07 07:21
After consulting with other mods, I and the others were not happy with the current limbo that the discretionary situation with harrassment etc. policies. We have come to a decision   This was poorly worded and gives the sense that some sort of consensus was reached by the mods, which is obviously not the case. A good rule of thumb would be, don't issue a semi-official policy statement unless you can find consensus (and also get a thumbs up from management).

  It would have been nice if you also mentioned the ongoing rash of deletions of posts and threads ciritcal of the mods and that those, too, would be left alone. I witnessed several of these deletions myself (axing threads where good questions and rational criticism was being raised) and if you think the deletions are somehow improving the situation you're dead wrong.

Read the whole thread, TB.

Basically he later says that mods can use their own judgement and I think he says true harassment can be dealt with. I happen to agree with the spirit of the new policy generally speaking, but it was handled TERRIBLY. Don't mix flaming and stalking in the same sentence for instance. Flaming is an integral part of the beauty of DV. Stalking is a loaded word...man I don't know why he went there.

  Still, it's nice to see that they're at least thinking of taking a more hands-off approach to deletions over on DV. Lately some of the DV mods have been deleting posts from the shadows without any good reason except that they rub them the wrong way. I'm sure you can understand how that would concern someone, right?

If you're referring to the two posts I deleted the other day, then yes. I already said that was me and that I was cranky.

If you're referring to the other post you made in the 'smites' thread asking if someone had deleted your last comment, then no. I didn't remove it and I don't any sign that a post was removed from that thread in the logs.

 No, you didn't read that wrong. That's EXACTLY what they mean. That's why I'm reacting.



The asshat posting first as orly, then trying to handlejack me in this thread is too retarded to see that giving such a blank cheque can only lead to an increase in racist and hate threads.



Where do you draw the line between an insult and racist comment? Why should one be allowed and other not?



What makes stalking and harrassment OK?

There're tonnes of messages like that constantly urging harrassing, stalker types of messages to blossom and flourish on DV.



You're not even supposed to complain now if it happens to you. That's what that policy statement is about.



So yes, you've read it correctly.

Yup. Read the whole thread not just the quote.

The "new policy" doesn't open the door to everything because as the little warning before a post says, anything that's legally classified as a hate crime is still verboten. Why are flames Ok but not racism? Ug. Raging Poodle, I actually respect you, but if you had your way everything interesting about DV would be bled dry.

I feel you.

But like I said before, this place was built (the community, not the structure which holds it) largely in response to DV. It's the nature of this particular beast. Many of us who no longer visit DV regularly...well, it still claims a part of our soul, and so threads like this shouldn't be surprising.

  EDIT: I just noticed that whenever I read a DV-related thread it puts me in a shitty mood.

Maybe that should tell me something.

 You're trolling so much with that comment that it's hard to decide what I should respond to.



Do I need to be a mod to be able to request that people posting in a thread stick to the topic?



I hesitate to call it "my" thread, but yes I happen to have created it because it's a subject of interest to me and I wouldn't hearing from those sharing the same interest.



And now that you mention it, you've made quite a few off topic remarks in this thread yourself. How about cleaning them up?



How would you like it if other people came into your threads, and started trolling, hijacking, and shitting all over the place?

Raging Poodle, you're free to try to impose your will on this thread, and others are free to tell you to get over yourself. How would I feel if someone hijacked my thread? When I posted on DV it happened CONSTANTLY. I love that shit. The only time static really got to me was when someone got ahold of my home phone # and called me up from Canada. That cut a little too close to the bone. Otherwise, this is the Net and getting too hung up on ownership of the "airwaves" will only drive you crazy in the end.

I hope you got a chance to follow this thread and some of my comments, before shitheads hijacked it.

The stalking and harrassment you're referring to ARE real issues, esp. on DV.



However mods need to have a unified strategy in dealing with such issues, instead of certain mods' taking advantage of their position (and lack of competent supervision) to satisfy their personal vendettas.



That's why once in a while I alluded to what I saw was happening, but of course it would be quickly hushed, deleted, and swept under the carpet.

Raging Poodle....I'm so sorry I'm not following exactly what your problem is.  Perhaps someone who is informed in what is going on in both forums may have a better perspective.  Not all of us are.

  Could you at least try to see how this comes across on DS to those of us who are NOT aware of the goings on on DV.  I have tried to remain civil and perhaps I'm not succeeding as best as I could...but I'm trying.  I don't think I ever had a problem with you before.........   nor do I think you ever had a problem with ME before......   All I ask is that you base your opinions of me on the interactions that have taken place between you and I when you are making your comments about me.

  Am I asking too much ?

Ok, a lot of powertripping going on at DV at the moment... ydv won't even allow me to say good bye to him.



She keeps deleting all my messages. [FONT color=#ff0000]What ever happened to the no deletion rule?[/FONT] But she is keen to leave all the flames directed toward me. Nice job.



Essentially first I had posted a link to my message above with a humorous note saying that although had abandoned me in the past, he was still good in my books.



That was immediately deleted.



Then she deletes this:



 Aww ydv powertripping again...?

Deleting all my messages.

You won't even let me say good bye to him?

You can't sweep this under the carpet ydv, no matter how hard you try.

It's beyond your control, and beyond your petty games now.

Delete this one also, since you seem to enjoy powertripping so much.

Hey what ever the fuk happened to the NO DELETIONS rule?

Oh I get it... that was to drive modulus crazy, and get him to resign wasn't it?

Well you must be happy, since you've achieved your goal.

Post by: tenkani on Mar 25 07 05:18
From now on, unless otherwise announced, there will be no deletions or banning for harrassing, stalking, insulting, flaming posts.
...
I will tell you why I went there... this issue was about stalking, not real life of course, but harrassing posts in multiple threads every single day, many posters follow others into multiple threads whenever they post, change the subject, and insult every day continually... that is what I was trying to stop, maybe I was wrong in thinking that was a problem.
...
What I was trying to point out was that in your initial policy anouncement you lump flaming in with harassment/stalking. That was a mistake. Flaming can be a beautiful thing. When it comes to "harassment", a mod should be able to differentiate between a case where a user acts like a f*cktard and makes a lot of enemies who then go to war, and a case where, for instance, a woman is being stalked online by a single angry man because she turned down his advances. Trying to apply a set policy to such a thing is not wise, especially if said policy is created without the consensus of the mods or the knowledge of management.

Title: Re: Major DV announcement mods WANT you to see
Post by: mr pomegranate on Mar 25 07 08:30
I made it very clear that stalking that crosses over into a real-life situation was not at all acceptable and was not what was meant by this. To even bring that kind of real life thing into THIS issue is just completely muddying my original point, and is a convenient way to end the discussion before it even started. This whole disagreement was based on online, non real life, harrassment and flaming. The only thing that mattered the most to me, was consistency. If one poster was to be admonished for a specific behaviour, I expected the next poster to be held to the same standard... nothing more, nothing less.... the fact that a consistent application of such a rule depending on personalities became a difficult judgement call, made it seem to me that the only way to be fair to all would be to allow everyone equal access to the ability to flame.  

  This was only based on flaming harrassment online between online personas, nothing more.

  And on another note, and to make this clear to any that care and may still be confused, my resigning has nothing to do with this policy issue itself, either way that it was chosen to apply a rule would have been fine with me (although I am still uncomfortable with a purely subjective flaming rule). One thing that I always operate on, in real life and as a mod, is from a position of loyalty. This is one of the most important virtues I believe in. I hold others to the same standards, and when it becomes clear to me that saving face or self promotion is more important to someone, I find it impossible to consider myself to being on a team with such a person. I will thus choose to remain resigned from modding for the foreseeable future.

What decisions? There was never a rule to delete posts or threads that hate on people. I delete what needs to be deleted and I have no favorites when I make those deletions. This has nothing to do with you as a single poster, this has to do with every poster. So why would you feel you need to be personally informed? DV never worked that way anyway. I don't know if other mods show this favortism you talk about, but I don't.

That sounds like an obfuscation.
A catch-all bullshit.

[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff66"]You either have a guideline or you don't have a guideline.
You either delete hate posts or you don't delete them[/FONT].
You can't be half pregnant. It's either a yes or no.

Ya I never delete them unless it breaks rules. A poster hating on a poster was never against the rules. I don't know where this "new rule" came from. It gets deleted when unwanted pictures or addresses etc etc are posted. I did it like that from the beginning and it always worked.

Again if there are deletes that I don't know about then that is different, but I am speaking only for myself right now.

[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff66"]No one knows what to do.
[/FONT][FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff66"]That's when you have preferential treatment [/FONT]where some members' hate posts get deleted, and some other members' are left to rot and fester. [img alt="" src="http://www.discovervancouver.com/forum/icon/icon_smile_dead.gif" border=0]

I sound like a broken record, speaking for myself I treat every poster equally. How do I do that? If there is a flaming war I leave all posts up no matter who the poster, until it crosses the line and leads to racism or breaks any other rule.

In terms of flaming yes perhaps you can take it as well as dish it out, but what usually happens is mods take sides. So the mod(s) start deleting YOUR comments, however your flamers comments are left.

[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff66"]Why aren't both deleted?
[/FONT]
[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff66"]"Oh it's a fk'ing judgement call" the idiots will tell you... [/FONT][img alt="" src="http://www.discovervancouver.com/forum/icon/icon_smile_tongue.gif" border=0]

NONE should be deleted. And again, where did you ever hear that any of these should be deleted?? And who's taking sides? I never took sides with anyone, so I have no clue what you are talking about.

And don't try to twist my words against me. When I say judgement call I'm talking extreme measures. Like the prime example of posting another posters personal info as a defense or an attack. If a poster is making fun or trashing another poster, I have always left it, because this is a frickin forum, and people can either fight back or walk away.

My point is, deleting these posts was never a rule. If someone showed some sort of favortism that I don't know about, I appologise for that, but otherwise don't expect anybody's flaming posts to be deleted. At least not by me.

IMPORTANT: A hate/bias crime is a criminal offence. If you post something that is against the law and the police request your IP, it WILL be released to them.

Those are just CZ's rules and are mostly applicable to CZ.



I pointed out that DV didn't have a PM system for example. (because rule 1 is talking about harrassment through PM for example) And that message was immediately deleted.



I seriously question the sincerity behind that link.



It all comes down to enforcement and accountability. And DV has neither.



Enforcement is totally arbitrary. And accountability is non existent.

No Racism, No Threatening, No (citing) Victimization or Hateful posts / Retaliation of any kind against a member, or group of members. Hateful post will NOT be tolerated. Any Racist or Threatening posts will result in the suspension of the user account. Don't test your limit.

Clearly this thread is not only hateful, but it also incites and encourages hatred against long standing and highly regarded [img alt="" src="http://www.discovervancouver.com/forum/icon/icon_smile_wink.gif[/img] contributors of this bulletin board.

Under the old rules I would've laughed. But now I want to see what the mods will do about this.

Are you going to delete the thread or not? If not, why not?
