ChiefsPlanet Are insults against friends/family members off limits? - Page 5

**DaFace** · 02-11-2009, 02:16 PM

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.

Speaking of banning is it possible to write a script that bans 1/3 of the registered users on any given day? That would cut down on the number of people offending other peoples friends/families....

Now that the NFL season is officially over
this forum should be merged with DC
wait a month then a re-vote should be taken

Maybe that's why there aren't many female posters.

And I thought it was cause I didn't shower.

There is too much stuff to decipher. If it is something off the charts bad like. I hope your child dies then yes but it better be a slam dunk

You know, this place has turned into a circus at times over the past few years while insults have been made about each others family members and at the same time the membership has doubled. At almost any one time there are now over 200 members viewing the lounge.

Of course half of them are probably members of Homeland Security.

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.

This shouldn't even be a question put to a vote - it should just be implemented. Good thing the police don't operate like our moderators; stealing would only be a crime if the thieves got voted down.

We should all be proud of that.

Until you've posted a picture of your wife and been e-stalked like we have, I'm not sure people actually understand it.

I haven't encountered anything like this in the almost 4 years I've been a part of this community, but this type of shit is definitely an exception to the rule. I'd say wishing death to members children would be a bannable offense. I honestly can't think of much else though. Really, that's what the ignore function is for IMO.

Probably somebody's idiot friends/family members.
