Popular Post Chris Posted April 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2014 When it comes to matters directly between members and behind closed doors, our moderation tend to let them sort it out on their own. However, as of late we have been receiving more complaints than usual about some particularly untrustworthy members who go out of their way to find personal conflicts and wiggle into them. I'm not sure what taught them to poke the hornets nest with a stick, but this is where it ends. The stance of the moderation on this subject is as follows: "It is not our job to deal with gripes, arguments or concerns between two members on site or off. We will however, come down relatively hard if a third party is involved and spreading chat logs/nonsense without the consent of the member in an attempt to cause a fuss or it is taken to a public medium." In most of the complaints that we have received, the Skype chats and a select few individuals have been mentioned almost continuously. Keep in mind that most of the negative statements made within those chats will end up finding their way to the eyes of those who are at the brunt of it, so if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say it at all. To go over a few of the topics that have gotten as far as me: Attempting to cause conflict between moderators and/or other members; Going out of your way to mark another member as a stalker to 'friends'; Constantly spilling unfavourable information from the aforementioned chats to cause conflict and/or frustration; So many chat logs from 'private' conversations; Spreading outright lies or slanderous bullshit about other users through status updates or photoshopped images. If you think you fit the bill on at least two of the above then I highly suggest you keep yourself off of my radar for a while or you may find yourself out on your butt. Some of you will already be out when this post goes live simply due to the sheer levels of disrespect involved. This isn't a fucking elementary school playground. My advice about the whole matter? Surround yourself with more trustworthy people. I'm pretty disgusted that I even had to say this but after reading through some of the PMs and whatnot that have been exchanged... some members should be ashamed of their actions. 65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pelly <3's U Posted April 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2014 I know this should basically be covered by Chris's post, but at this point because I've seen it so much I'm going to spell a particular instance out for you. If you are making a passive aggressive status or post to complain about how you dislike another member, whether it be in a topic that even seemingly asks you to express such feelings, don't. Not in a topic that asks what makes you angry. Not in a topic that asks you how you feel. Not as a response to another person's status asking for how you feel. This stuff is here for you to express yourself.....but I think you should understand that there is a reasonable limit to what we can allow, and an atmosphere of member's publically picking on one another is beyond that. Not saying names doesn't matter, either people can clearly tell who you're talking about or it still contributes to said negative atmosphere. I get that these are the days of Facebook and Twitter where this shit is the norm, but at the risk of sounding like an old granny......I believe if you think that this is an ideal solution to venting frustration or resolving conflict you will find that this is not the case. As unsatisfying as it is, use the block feature and move on with your life. If you do have issues with people targeting you like this please do contact the mod team about this, but bare in mind as Chris said we are here to resolve forum issues, it is really up to you to monitor your social groups and interactions and make sure you are making proper judgement calls about both. 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
