Give me a break.

People make jokes about men on here constantly. Your on forums on the Internet grow tougher skin

Why should she (or anybody else, including males) should grow tougher skin for browsing a forum?

The first job of a moderator should be to create a healthy and fun environment on the site that they are moderating, for all the users. I think the mods of this site are failing at that however I basically don't care about personal attacks or trolling so it doesn't bothers me that much, but is obvious that it bothers some people.

And if I say that your post offends me as a moderator, does that illustrate how impossible it is to make everyone happy at the same time?

If you feel that my post is offensive you would find thousands more like that and you would have to ban thousands of users, basically killing the site.

Getting back to the point - Galaki's post was totally off-topic. She was reporting a legitimate forum issue and he comes with an un-needed joke. Deleting a post that wasn't contributing anything to a serious question would have been a good idea don't you think?

Exactly. I already forgive Galaki the post if it makes that point. We should stop leaving offensive/"moderated" posts up... all it does is give the offensive user basically a trophy for a good job. A lot of people are pretty proud of the trouble they start... and it provides a form of entertainment for those who stealth troll and continuously press the buttons of others to get the reaction that is wanted.

I do not see how the current moderation method is "moderation"... it's having the complete opposite effect on the quality of posts at this forum.
