The trouble is "the line." It is everywhere, it is nowhere, it is whatever some boss wants it to be. You can threaten people about stepping over "the line" but in reality the bosses do whatever they like. This process stinks.

Edited to add that I don't think of you as a bully, misusing the process, but others have. It's a shame. The forums could be a strong point of this site.

Now you have to explain what a normal user is and how far those rules can be bent.

I had a fellow Austrian call me an idiot, anarchist, troublemaker, asked me to lick his ass - my response to that was deleted, I got a message from the GM with another ban threat. That's how normal and whatever else category you have for me are dealt with.

The original insult was edited and the GM told me, that he agreed to the content in general. Good job, good effort!

Imagine the rules set a line a 100. We usually accept people to go to 120. Then, some users go to 130 repeatedly, they got sanctionned. Their accepted line progressively goes closer to 100 due to that.

As Manon says, if we were to act on anything over 100, many here would be unhappy with their freedom taken which would be totally in the BBs right on their private website. Problem with accepting to go to 120 for some leeway and everyone enjoying the forums, it's that some do want to see if they can go to 121, 122, 123 then are surprised when Mods finally act.

I propose that, sometimes in the future, we do a "Line is at 100 month" to see if it suits people.


Well, setting the line at 100, would probably lead to a few banned staff members, if applied correctly.

I did cross the line in response to the insult, but if moderated accordingly both of us should have been fined.

Do I have to be a nice guy? I am just being myself and I know I can't be loved by everybody- you had your fair share of bans too, so don't even try to pretend you are better than me.

In a few cases my oh so negative input brought valuable changes, maybe that's why I am still around...
