Normchacho said: The first quotes are at best condescending and the third one is just a flat out unprovoked insult. I also don't agree that someone shouldn't be banned because they are always rude. If anything that should make them more open to bans, that's probably why we was banned. There are simply not enough mods for them to catch everything and lets be honest, if they modded everything that deserved it this website would be a different place. I'm pretty sure we've all posted modderation worthy things that never got modderated. But that doesn't mean they should stop modderating things when they catch them. |
I guess it depends how you interpret them. I reaaaaally dont see it as insulting. For the record, kow isnt always rude, he can be though. Id agree that someone who is always condescending towards others should be put into line, but we dont really have anyone here who always talks down to people.
I agree that there arent enough mods however. Ive been saying that for a good long while.

Anyway, on the subject of consitency. I thought Id put it to the test yesterday.
kow was banned for being rude and confrontational, basically. Condescending. Insulting. Baiting people into arguments? They all tie in together anyway. Give it a few hours and I see a thread pop up about Project Spark.
Look at some of the comments in this thread between JayWood2010 and pokoko. Ill post them here.
pokoko said:
No kidding. They could have made it for Sega Game Gear if they wanted. Don't tell me how business works. Oh, well. I'm not buying Windows 8 for this. Interest gone. |
So, the hostility starts here when pokoko was initially pissed off about Windows 8 being needed and was being sarcastic about the whole thing. JayWood simply told him why Windows 8 was needed (which is obvious by the way) and we get to this point.

Nothing initially wrong with pokoko's reply, but JayWood2010's responce of "act mature instead of acting entitled" is just as bad as, if not worse than anything kowenicki said to get banned. Its certainly condescending, confrontational and rude. JayWood wasnt even warned after a report.
JayWood2010 said:
Not being condescending for one. Youre getting all puffed up because i said that is how a business works. Calm yourself instead of being sarcastic and rude. If you disagree with me then so be it but your attitude is uncalled for. I guess things just "piss you off in the blink of an eye".... |
Yes, it carries on.
As you can see here, they both end up throwing "insults" at eachother. Calling eachother condescending, rude, puffed up, sarcastic.
Not only are they going back and forth at eachother with petty digs, theyre dragging the thread off topic.
JayWood2010 said:
Clearly a comment meant to be nice and informing right? |
Yes, it carries on.
pokoko calls JayWood2010 petty. Says its "small-minded mud-slinging".
JayWood kinda tried to calm things down at this stage, it seems, though he follows it up with the sarcastic last line.

Yes, it carries on.
pokoko calls JayWood2010 smug and continues to be aggressive with his posting style. Very rude. Very condescending.
It ends here.
The problem is, JayWood2010 and pokoko were going back and forward at eachother. They were being rude to eachother. They were off topic. They were "insulting" eachother. They were being condescending. They were being far worse than kowenicki was in the Elop thread, in which he got banned for 7 days.
Where is the consitency? These posts were reported for the exact reason of proving the inconsistency of the moderation and you guys just proved me right by not even handing out a warning or a post in the thread telling them to cut it out.
