Joke fail on your part.

It could have worked if in my original post I was referring to myself.

Are you good at anything?

It's perplexing the way you seem to be using the reporting system. You're effectively encouraging people to run to the mods with complaints rather than using ignore or thick skin. You're also unnecessarily making the rules less clear because posters will read something like Frazod's hispanic references all day without seeing him banned but then when they use the same, seemingly acceptable reference a month from now and get reported (perhaps because they've got a different, more thin skinned target than Frazod), the hammer comes down. The incentive system is screwed up.

Have you ever banned someone for filing a report when they should have used ignore instead? Maybe you should consider something like that.

I understand the value of the reporting system when moderators aren't around to see a real problem, but the way it's being used at the moment creates as many problems as it solves, IMO.

It doesn't really answer my questions. You're not obligated to ban someone just because a post is reported. So let's stipulate that "take action" can mean doing nothing.

My post wasn't about posts that you haven't read. You've obviously read at least some of Frazod's posts. So, again, after you've read a post and decided that it didn't require any action, why should a report change that?

We frequently disable user's ability to report when they threaten to report until something is done about a non-moderator action required situation or if they just don't understand what should be reported. I don't read every post and neither does any other mod. I'm not freaking out about a landscaper joke here or there. But if it's reported, we have a discussion if necessary. It's really not as hard as you're making it.

Actually, I haven't. I saw one quoted and didn't feel moderator action was necessary at that time.

Well, considering your back is so wide, I don't think you can afford a back piece on your male secretary salary.

Not trying to jump into this thing head first again because...it never really leads anywhere. We disagree on some stuff...its all good.

Obviously not every post can be read by a mod but many many posts are reads by mods and it is weird to me it would take a report to happen for something that *is* seen an actionable. Which is what I am reading.

Really? You're going to pretend you haven't seen the dozens of posts that he's made towards me with racist shit in them?

Again, I'm not asking for him to be banned (because in his little brain he would construe it as a victory for him. bcuz stupid). But let's not act like you haven't been active in the threads where he has repeatedly used racial slurs/stereotypes towards me.

No one scored for the entire regulation period or overtime.
