Insults and personal attacks

While we are more lenient towards vulgarities, friendly bickering, and so forth than most forums, we do not tolerate blatant insults or personal attacks against others. Naturally, there will be disputes and debates in regards to strategy and such, but these discussions can still be dealt in a respectable manner. Offenders will either be given a warning, or penalized with 1 infraction point which would expire in 6 months.

Attacks on Staff

PokerForums.org is supervised by moderators. Moderators scan the community to ensure that these rules are followed among all members. These rules are in everyone's favor and when there is an issue with a rule, please bring it to the staff's attention via Private Message as opposed to on the public forum.

Allowing somebody to directly challenge a staff member's authority on the public boards undermines the integrity of the site. Therefore, if a member has an issue with a moderator, send a Private Message to the Adminstrator, KiD[ReD]. Your complaints will be reviewed and action taken where needed.

Personal attacks toward the staff and criticism of how they perform their duties will not be tolerated. Offenders will either be given a warning, or penalized with 5 infraction points which would expire in 12 months.
recognise the above?

the second one was added in back at "the time" when it suited but now we're in favour of a fairly open-flaming board cos its the fuckin internet?

amazing how a personal attack can be condoned when its not directed at one of the home boys

If you notice some strong attacks against others, please use the Report Post button; all the staff get sent an e-mail and I personally check up on all of them.

Due to the large size of the forum it's hard to catch every instance of trouble..

There are attacks that "won't be tolerated" like Manguy going apeshit on the whole forum, hijacking every thread, and getting banned. But in General Discussion, if people are going to go at it with each other, they will.

There's a difference between people getting flamed standing idly by and people getting flamed after making bold statements. The bolder the statement, the harsher the reaction and sometimes that's why the bold statements are made. It's the same as those 3 girls posting hot pics of themselves. The hotter the pic, the more people are gonna drool over it. It isn't instigating, but people should understand that extremes face backlash.

Aces-o-8's is an example where he completely misunderstood something I said, reacted in an extreme manner to get an extreme reaction. I didn't ban him. I gave him the extreme reaction and completely pwnd him. It wasn't one-sided bullying from him from or myself, it was a back and forth, not about how I moderate the board, but about a picture I posted to be funny.

there is no way Ping should be penalized for calling someone a ho, or slut, or whatever.

now, if ping said he hates her b/c she is jewish, then he should get warning or something, but caling someone a bad parent is so petty. I mean obv to her it was over the top, but IRL it is not a big deal b/c in reality ping is just some guy that lives thousands of miles away from her.

In fact ping could be a crazy person who is pretending to be a guy w/ kids. Really he could be like a 14 year old girl or something.

There is a differance btw ping, and ppl like manguydude.

If rock was Loz, would any1 care? no. truth is everyone sets different standards for girls.

i agree with this.

what i dont agree with is the fact that there was a big fuss made of hurting a mods feelings back in the day and this has passed over like it was a big joke cos its the fuckin internet.

either remove rules altogether, change them to something suitable or stick to them.....3 very simple choices.

While joking around is fine and usually funny, personal attacks are not alright. If someone comes on here and makes an offhanded comment like: "I still like sex" that doesn't mean people can go around calling her a slut. Think whatever you will but keep it to yourself.

The beauty of the forum is it's diversity; we welcome democrats, republicans, sharks, fish, men, women, kids, adults, blacks, whites, browns, yellows, blues. you name it. If you disagree with someones lifestyle fine, there's no need to resort to personal insults or name calling. A simple I disagree with your lifestyle will do.

Just because your choices in life differ from others doesn't mean they are open to personal insults, and that comment was very personal.

Do you really want to revive this sorry subject? Someone hijacked a Strategy Thread, the post was deleted and someone else re-hijacked the thread to call him a "shit moderator." Manguy got racist with me because I wouldn't loan him money. Apples and oranges, Dee. Just look at how you're expressing yourself compared to those two examples.

Like I said, a bold statement about your sexlife is going to get a bold response, whether it be correct or not. Posting a cleavage pic is going to get a bold response, no matter how "respectful" it can be interpreted. If the person that the response is directed toward doesn't like it, they should be allowed to address it as it came at them with other responses, but should also be fully aware of potential reactions.

i just wanted to say that i didn't *actually* go anywhere. i've been lurking, hoping that by saying i was leaving and not responding to any of this, people would stop talking. but...that didn't work

i did let certain comments affect me more than they should have. it might have been an overreaction on my part, maybe not. but whatever, it happened, and i'm over it. much love and respect to both the first amendment and the golden rule
