Are the Jedi Council Forums a place for fans and praise only?

At the center of this issue is the fact that we are not on a level playing field. Either enforce the rules, or don't. But there should be a level standard.

 

That's just lazy modding, though... deal with the people causing the trouble. There's no sense in ending the conversation all together.

Can you show me were that's located within the TOS?

 

I don't really consider myself a gusher or a basher, I have opinions that would fall on both sides.

I have some strong ones, but I am still a fan like anyone else here

 

You are implying it by saying stuff like this over, and over, and over again:

I mean how many times do you figure you have said that to people?

Also the definition, as presented by TF.N staff member is:

Asking people why they post here over and over and over again, is that not a repeated behavior? Nevermind the fact that you continue to do so even after people have told you that it upsets them.

I don't mean to make this all about Alexrd, because it ultimatly has nothing to do with him. If he makes posts of a certain style, and the administration sees fit to allow his posts, then Alexrd himself is a non issue. He is working with the framework of what is allowed, he is not breaking any rules so thus when he posts things like "I pity you" it is acceptable.

You don't say...........

Yep

While it does not surprise me that you don't remember a specific instance between two users I find it difficult to believe that you now suddenly don't even seem to recognize that the behavior even existed in the first place.

 

Good thread, CT-867-5309 . It's kind of too bad that this all needs to actually be discussed, but the points and questions are valid... so there you go.

 

Good thing if it's a moderator issue that I don't trust any of you people. Nobody says I have to like anyone here, not even if you have pretty little eyesore colors. Then I know whose judgement I am okay with, and who I consider to just be abusing their rights because they can.

 

I feel like the ignore function is kinda a faulty system if it is being used to avoid people who may be taking personal shots at you. I'd rather be able to read exactly what they say so I can defend myself if need be.

It might work well for some folks, but for me it would just make me wonder what people are saying about me

 

It also doesn't work well because you still know they are posting. It just comes up as ignored member, I'd rather not see it at all

 

That's not paranoia, usually you use that feature because you are having a specific problem with a poster. If you fight back you get in trouble, so ignoring is sometimes your only real option.

 

Well, you were just being snarky about people discussing the ignore feature, which is a legitimate way to De-esleclate that kind of a situation, do you think that puts you in a position to lecture us now?

I mean, an improved ignore feature would be a net positive, no?

 

I'm in a good mood right now, I'm not angry at all.

I am responding to this:

An ignore feature which actually ignores the presence of the poster in question would eliminate that concern

 

Then I misinterpreted your post and I apologize for that

 

As far as walking away and ignoring people goes, I agree. But that doesn't mean comments against the TOS should remain unedited and the harassers unpunished, while others are not. That's what I'm talking about here, punishment should be handed out equally and fairly.

I love the ignore button, and have used it with relief, but I see a problem with the ignore button. If I put everyone who told me to leave on my ignore list, there'd be dozens of people on it, all over the site. That just doesn't sound like a good solution. If it was just two or three people, this wouldn't be a problem at all.

"Just put them on your ignore list" also continues to support these GET OUT comments. When people hurl nasty insults or post disallowed words, the mods don't tell everyone to put those people on their ignore list, they edit the comments. Spoilers, inappropriate images, talks of piracy, everything against the rules is edited, except this. If the ignore list was the expected option for everything, there'd hardly be a need for mods at all.

I mean, if someone breaks the rules, they are edited, warned and then banned. If groups of people repeatedly tell you to leave, just put them on your ignore list.

 

If it were really up to me, the mods would stay out things unless it was serious, like personal information being put out and things like that.

I prefer an environment where people can speak their minds, even when it gets a little nasty.

As things stand now, you are expected to absorb without fighting back.

That has been my assessment of the way things work here from literally my first week. I'm glad to see that others here see it. It's often not a level playing field here

 

You don't mean that

 

Yes, I wouldn't. It was an ironic comment about the oxymorous situation of having a movie night with a "bad" movie on a fan board about it.

Exactly.

I shadow you? Please... And I sometimes do make remarks when you tend to make flames. If my remarks are frequent, it's only a consequence of the frequency of your flames.

No, I'm not. There is no implication. It's a simple and genuine question, if you see more than what is there, it's not on me.

 

Negative opinions of the movies, or of aspects in the movies, are every bit as valid as positive ones. And thus, threads started dealing with those negative aspects are every bit as valid as positive ones.
