| SWORDF1SH said: I think he deserved the action you took but I also think it was mishandled. Should of it been handled like this in the thread? Most moderation messgaes are sent to the person breaking the rule, not out in the open. I don't agree with Abun either but singling out one side (in this case the PS fan) like it's only them that causes trouble along with calling people out openly in threads undoes the good moderating on here. I'm not saying you're a bad mod, but you went to far this time. |
I can't agree, Swordf1sh. I think a mod openly discussing things like this in the thread is sometimes healthy and much needed. More clandestined discussions with particular offenders via PMs only helps isolated cases and doesn't address the whole forum -- which it should when needed. The person in question HAS shown some rather overt aggression and gloating on many occasions and had it coming, although (and this really needs to be taken into consideration) English is obviously this particular persons second larguage and so nuances of irony or tongue in cheek are easily lost. There's a fine line between banter and jabs and I can only imagine that line getting blurrier when you don't know the ins and outs of a particular language. I hope the mods have the good grace to take this into consideration in the future, but all in all I don't disagree that occasionally they need to publicly reprimand someone.
The PS5 Exists.
