For example, I don't know if you remember the old Frazod-KCNative feuds. But it got to the point where Frazod couldn't post in any thread without KCNative showing up and posting something like, "Hey Frazbob, just wanted to let you know that you're a blah blah blah blah..."
That's user stalking. I could have worded it as harassment, but that would be subjective to moderator opinion as well.
You will have to trust the mods on that one. If your engaging in normal football talk, making solid posts, and not intentionally seeking out a user, then that rule should never apply to you.
As far as the Douchebag Rule, that was a special request from a mod that has been doing this job very well for a long time, and basically said, "Look, sometimes people will find a way to **** things up without actually breaking any of the posted rules. You know it when you see it." We have to trust his word, because he's been doing this job for a long time, is level-headed and respected, and knows wht he's talking about.
Once again though, my guess aoumd be that it's for extreme cases. Based on your posts, I don't think you would ever have anything to worry about.
There will be some mod trust required, of course. But I think all of the mods are looking to do a great job, and are more than capable of making level-headed decisions regarding these issues.

We literally posted at the same time. I don't have personal issues with any moderator past nor present. I have some issues with how some situations were handled in the past by moderators, such as banning from threads, and the forum for that matter, because of differing opinion. So no, I don't just "trust" moderators in all aspects, and that isn't because I have a personal issue with the mods nor do they have one with me. This is about bettering the forum overall and I'm voicing this opinion with that in mind.
Like I said in my response, you need to be more clear about what "being a douchebag" is, and the types of behaviors that could result in some type of moderator action.
I was here to see the KCNative crap, but I was a much more passive and outside observer at the time because I primarily posted at CC. I understand excessive stalking and seeking out a user in every possible way like Native did. What I don't want to see happen is that people like Tiger get whiny about someone responding to them in threads they post in and crying "oh quit stalking me" because its happened already. If the guy is posting in threads and people are responding to him, primarily on topic, then I don't see that as stalking in any way. There needs to be a clear separation line.
