Moderation Recommdations

[urleft]

Sorry Admin, you have mostly guys here, we are uncivil by nature.  And to make it worse, not only are we proud of it, we relish a great back and forth.   
 
 
So from my standpoint, what should be moderated?   
 
1.  You attack the family, TG, TW, etc, you are wrong. 
 
2.  You attack Thailand or Buddism, you are wrong.   
 
3.  You attack a newbee that has not responded to you personally, you are wrong.   
 
4.  You are just a f@ckwit lookng for confrontation, you are wrong.   
 
 
Otherwise I recommend you let us be.  I fully acknowledge that BE member ***  is free to have his own views.

There should be no offensive language aimed at individuals. For me it is ok to say that Muang Thong are shite, but not that the players are all C*****.

As an example

Here we start.... Urleft, Everyone knows which member you are reffering to (Which I edit your message and delete the hint you throw inside),
Do you think its a good idea to open this silly dispution between you and the other member.?

I cannot understand the fun in it.. many members can't find it interesting or fun also.

[mike]

Admin,

I don't know.

I also don't think that Urleft is referring to one individual in his post  that I can see but making a statement on what he believes should be the ground rules for good conduct. Or more precisely what constitutes unacceptable behaviour.

The rules are well known and includes what urleft wrote above and more.
Everytime we enforce these rules someone jump and say.. why ban that guy? He is my friend, and in my opinion its a great comment, nothing is wrong.
So what would you advise to do? listen to friends of friends or be a real moderator and judge by yourself? We are very light handed on the ban button but we have our limits.

Use the report button to report any bad post/topic.
I repeat this request many times.
You want a clean forum report, but some people are enjoying the banter or prefer to reply and fight over the forum and thats not how it should be.

Paul, 

It was not directed at you, however, if you start a sheep farm it may apply.

I am sorry but I do not know what the rules are. Perhaps you can direct me to where thay are posted which would be of benefit to me, existing members and new members.

I will repeat Admin,if you have many members that don't like things the way they were,prove it,show the numbers,yes we can get the st$ts with each other,but that is a part of a debate,when push comes to shove it's much better then being "sanitized" by Admin,we all have our views and sharing those views are part of this little community,IMHO.

[mxyzptlk]

I propose that urleft & nookie be appointed moderators....

[Adam]

If Almog doesn't have a sense of humour there is not much hope for any of us.

I vote for Candy and Beer_Leo.

I will not share all the reports, complaints, threats, personal messages, offended members, etc.
We know the difference between a joke and other kind of posts, its not our personal view, if so many people report on members each and every time, who do you think is right?
Should we let people fight on forum? (fight not joke), Its not a debate as you try to describe it.

Maybe some conversations should be kept in a bar and stay there out of the forum.
