Are insults against friends/family members off limits?
Recently, this has come up in DC, but we've always set rules forum-wide rather than forum at a time. The entire place is so filled with personal attacks that I'm not sure any efforts could ever make conversation in there civil. But the question is, from a moderation standpoint, are personal attacks against family members over the line?

Depending on the answer to this question, we may add another bannable offense to the list. Poll to follow.

Oh, and you can assume that there would be some level of discretion on this. "Your mom goes to college" and other joking things like that will never be bannable as far as I'm concerned.

That might be a difficult caveat to impose depending on where the line is drawn, IMO. What Vailpass did was really no different than that except that it was a bit more colorful.

We've got a rule against rude comments in prayer threads and I could support an extension of this concept to cover any situation where a poster's real life challenges (whether they be the poster, his/her family, or his/her friends) are being rudely treated whether in an official prayer thread or not, but the Vailpass comment that sparked this thread didn't involve anything like that at all. People around here ought to be able to withstand redrum-style treatment of hypothetical loved ones.

Good Point! An insult in a prayer request thread should be treated as needing disciplinary action. But in anything else ?????

And BTW, DaFace, I'll tell how this will pan out. The vote will be close, but as always, the HELP HELP I'M BEING REPRESSED crowd will pile in to save the day for the dirtbags.

If you want to do the right thing, just man up and do it. This isn't about personal liberties, it's about decency. And NONE OF YOU should have to be told that.

The circumstances under which I'd extend that rule would be when a poster talks about a personal situation in another thread that doesn't happen to be a request for prayers. For example, PosterX comments in a thread about heart disease that his wife is a smoker who just had a heart attack and PosterY jumps in to say that she deserves what she got and hopefully she'll die before she drives up everyone's healthcare costs too much.

Just for myself, I think if you're making a crack at somebody it's one thing, but if the intent behind a comment is actually hurtful, than I think that's the line you shouldn't be crossing.

Problem is, how do you define that line for everybody in general. I mean, how do you quantify banning based, essentially, on meanness?

Hey what is wrong with that? You just said in another thread if people bring in their personal information they deserve what they get. Now you want stipulations?

No. Because this is a place where people sometimes come to vent and sometimes it takes a " your Momma " comment to get a point across. RedRum

You should have made this a public poll, that way we could see how many of Tom and Kotter's mults voted.

I agree with that. We're really only talking about intentionally hurtful attacks against a family member, not casually joking.
