One of my favourite mods (no, not you Cone). He didn't technically call the user salty though, just their post. Oh and he wasn't really wrong either...

No he wasn't wrong. It's just frustrating when Mr salty comes storming into a thread waving his saltire that we're not allowed call a spade a salty spade.

Kerotan, this is not the thread to call other users "salty" or to use generic insults like "pleb", even if referring to yourself. This is a thread to enquire about different matters which relate to the mod team. We are here to answer questions and improve the overall feel of the community (that is everyone, regardless of which console they prefer because in honesty it doesn't matter). If you want my advice, if you have to think if it's safe to post it and you have to ask in here, then it isn't safe to post it and ask it in here. To my recollection every case has been the same and ended with an emphatic "no".
Perhaps, in future, it would be beneficial to forward these complaints to me, or to Smeags, or to someone else rather than posting them in here because I think it could rub some users up the wrong way; which would only escalate the issue and make things worse. It is not a difficult thing to be "liked" on the VGC forums; you simply need to rise above such comments, ignore them and move on. Be positive; don't post random sly digs at consoles or make it sound like you're being condescending (these are just general tips for everyone, not directed at you).
In short, if you would like to avoid such comments then it's a two way street. As mentioned earlier; the only way to avoid such comments is not to rile people up in the first place. Then things can begin to improve, but whilst posting comments like this one (and others) in this thread, it simply won't happen. I think you can do that.
