People seem to think we were banning people just because JayWood said that trolling wouldn't be tolerated. The reason people were banned is because he was talking about a sale on a service that he thought others would be interested in and all certain users wanted to do was write about how they disliked the service, which was derailing the topic and considered trolling because instead of adding to the conversation, they complained about it being a paid service. It's also spamming because it doesn't contribute to conversation either. And flaming because it creates arguments and discourse between users. |
It was an EXTREMELY strict passing of that judgement, and I hold you to continuing that level of service, because I see much worse everyday and nothing happens. I also expect that you will ban the people I reported in that thread. If you'd like, I can start a thread tracking all the posts I'm reporting, and then we can compare what is getting reported to what is getting banned for everyone to see.

This would be an interesting experiment that would give us a good idea of how reasonable you are. But on the flipside, it would lead to public nitpicking regarding many moderations/non-moderations. Would do more harm than good. Especially for you, because I have some doubts regarding your judgment.

Well, I have learned a valuable lesson regarding what is and what is trolling now that I've seen some first hand decisions, and I'm confident I can abide by the rules. Previously, I thought there was leeway given based on comments being tongue in cheek ie; teasing. I can stop teasing people so long as that means people who are actually trolling are getting banned.
EDIT: I will be extremely fair and not pick and choose who to report and who not to.
