Isn't it setting the precedent that we're allowed to make threads where we respond to people as quoted here? Do we all get to make those threads? Do we perhaps only get to start telling people to fuck off as long as it's for the trollololz? At least the thread was eventually closed, but even that much took way too long. Is there some reason for this?

Sorry for being a bit rude, but I think we really didn't need another strip club spam thread.

I didn't want to make another one, but the original one was closed by the time I got off work and I felt this needed to be addressed.

I completely agree. I just responded to one o_O

If you mean this, it didn't really address anything.

Yeah but it's another thread about this strip club nonsense and it should have ended when the thread was closed.

But the issue that the thread brought up remained, at least to me, so how should I have raised my question? It's not that I don't understand the "Oh great, another one of those threads" reaction, but I didn't see a better way to bring this up.

Just drop it :)

I've done it many times before because it's usually not worth it. The OP has to see this thread anyways, which he might completely miss.

Eh, at least it answered my question even if it didn't change anything. Overall you're probably right, it's not worth it. Thread closed.

We're adults, and they're not trolling in a mean spirited way, but in an entertaining way. I think that's it. We're not affiliated with Valve, so we have no investors to keep pleased.

4:40 AM - cg: One thing I want to avoid is the community feeling like they have a ban hammer hanging over their head. It's a forum, I think people should be free to disagree, argue, and get a little out of hand at times. I don't think we're here to suspend people because they called someone an idiot, said screw you, or anything along those lines.

I do hope people could get their things together and be a bit nicer. Though it all seems in vain.

Sorry if I'm being a pedant, but doesn't the FAQ state we should be considerate? With a collection of responses like what I saw in Mezza's thread I would've said that's too much and at least closed the thread sooner, but I'm obviously not you, so while I understand you don't want to moderate us to death, where is the line drawn? Maybe that's a question that can't be answered simply.

There's no simple way to distinguish, it does depend on the case, doesn't it?

Well then we have a case which can be used, that being the original thread I mentioned. I don't see why something wasn't done sooner.

It's not at all a simple question, and one of the problems we deal with all the time. Some things are clearly on one side or the other, but if it's uncertain, I try to let it slide. The community can be rather self-regulating that way at times. If someone takes things too far for most people, they'll probably get to hear about it plenty without our involvement.

I do agree with you Mallow. He should have been suspended for all the shit he posted there. Just the sheer amount of it should have been enough. I could smell it even.

That's a real healthy attitude coming from cg (and no, i'm not being sarcastic at all). People need to chill the fuck out and stop wbeing offended about everything

More trolling, or did you not read my responses in the original thread?

I read through the first, and the second one that was in regard to the first, but in a stupid manner, and Mezza's thread was at least genuine in the post. His wasn't said in a manner that was derogatory, although if he phrased it in a way that sounded obscene, it would probably have been closed.

Did you read the quotes from SparklePop's post that I linked? Mezza was extremely rude.

I had not seen the thread since the time of that posting, and for some reason your link only lead me to the main branch and not Mezza's comment, it did the second time though. People are pretty dumb and test the limits of what they can get away with, and that's how it will always be. People should try to act normal (No offensise to dumb people, if you think you're dumb.. Maybe).

You're also posting on someone else's site. I guess that's the difference most people don't get.
