The New F-Chat Ettiquette

You're right - too scared to respond. -

 

Nice to have you back Chris.

If we all play nice, don't use offensive language and act relatively courteous to one another, things should get better ---> this is not directed at only one person, but many.

 

Don't worry. I let you slide.

Btw, what's the moderating stance on "calling someone a focking a--hole"? Automatic ban, or allowed?
As your sig said, play nice or do not play, game on, I can not play unless I know the exact rules.
Thanks in advance.

 

You're too kind Chris. -

As for your question, at a minimum, content deleted, and user put on notice / watch.

You're welcome in advance.

 

In other words, there is no set rule.
I can do the same, but I might be banned. Right?

 

You might. As might be others. If my memory serves me correctly, you weren't the only one banned.

All depends on the context / history / situation / etc.

As it always has.

 

See, now you are too kind
You can simply say "I am the mod, fair or not, I make the call", instead of explaining the vague rule that's hardly can be made to seem fair. Why wrestling with me in mud when you are in high power already.

One of these days I will have to test out the "context / history / situation / etc" thingy, just need someone to pick a fight with me now. Anyone? mAn uP zEn.

 

Your memory served correctly.
For the record, I have no problem with that specific ban, it was carried out equally and fairly. Necessary or not, I don't know, but it was fair.

However, I think calling some one a F--- a--hole is sure in violation of one of the posting rules Sam posted(thats sticky on top of this board), thus I am curious what the moderating stance is. Don't take this personal, its purely for my own information, so I can play by the rules.

 

It is, which is why the content was deleted. Whether it constitutes a ban is up to the discretion of the moderators, based on the circumstances.

Wow Chris, you're really not getting the fact that this is a grey area, huh? No problem. Keep asking clarifying questions, and I (or Sam or others) will keep answering them. -

The ban was necessary IMO. But hey, what do I know. I only moderate.

 

Nah, I know crystal clear it is a grey area.
But my point that you are really not getting, is:
If 2 different people stepping on that same spot in THAT GREY AREA under the same circumstance, they should be treated eqaually.

 

What are you doing here? Haven't you been banned again yet?

 

I am here to understand the rules we play by.
If I can make this post, I guess I have not been banned again yet.

 

Hmmmm.. Good point. This is why you have a 360 while I drive a Mondial.

 

Sure. If they are EXACTLY in the same grey area. But then that becomes a mod call too and...well, you see how this works now don't you. You're a mod on another site, so I think you do.

Let's button this up and all agree to play nice, shall we.

 

Sam you know you do not need a Ferrari to be a moderator on Ferrari chat.

 

Well thats the assurance I was looking for
I was only confused when you said I might be banned for doing the EXACT same thing.
Otherwise the conversation would not exsit.

See, you know I just want a "get out jail" card for free for future play, that's all, should've just given it to me.

Peace out.

 

ARE YOU SAYING A MONDIAL IS NOT A FERRARI!!!???!?!?!

YOU ARE CRUISING FOR A BAN

 

I love the way you take one for your team Sam

 

Ouch (but funny)! That was low... hey I maybe getting a GT3 can I be a moderator then?


WoodEar: if it makes you feel better, I would like to volunteer to be banned for five days for using foul language.

Sam please ban me between: August 17-August 22, since I'll be in China

 

It is no fun if you volunteer

 

Nah you know and I know this issue is not about you.
I actually would like the foul language you used, to stay legit on this board, cuz I know I will need to use it in the future.

 

GT3 is the shiEt.
If you get that, I will swap the CS with you for few days.

 

Na, I was just kidding, cuz the P in Porsche stands for Pu...oh wait, let me think...it's the anatomic variation of that word you got banned for.
