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.

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.

You're 100% right. There is a pretty deep lack of consistency here at times. I think our only disagreement is whether Kow should have been banned or not in light of the inconsistency. I personally think he still should have been because if the mods are going to skip thing they do catch then why have mods at all? You can see in this thread where they talk about have piles of reports to go through, just because they can't catch everything doesn't mean they should just stop altogether.
