Title: So, insults are okay?
Post by: turvarya on August 24, 2015, 04:03:29 PM
I reported two posts today, since coming back to the whole XT vs. Core discussion and seeing that hdbuck, resolved to mostly just insulting people, which he even admits to be his new "strategy", was no fun anymore

...
@hdbuck please stop being abusive, you are sinking below their level, you are much better contributing when you are not venting. won't mention it again.

i'll try i'll try, but i mean its hard, these people are professionnal shills/trolls, and they just wont let it be that easily. you just cant argue with them. they have their agenda of ruining bitcoin.

so i figured the only way to counter their lies is to insult them, so at least the few innocent people around dont fall for their bs.

and besides, my money, and hopes for a better world are on the line here too.

so rage is on.



So, what did the mods do? Nothing at all.

Does that means, that posts like

^fuck you noob/troll/shill.

are okay now? Or does that only apply if I am a XT-Basher?

(Awaiting which cry-meme icebreaker will choose this time)

Insulting is sometimes allowed if it has a context of some sort, in that case he is only insulting without really providing any valuable information so if you report it im sure it will get deleted

Like I said: I already reported two posts and nothing happened at all, I even asked to look at the other posts from this person, since there are many and I don't want to report them all. You could argue, that I just haven't waited long enough, but I already saw moderators moving threads away from Bitcoin Discussion, so, some mods seem to be around, but just don't care.

nothing against insulting people on the forum, free speech and all. you could argue that the post is insubstantial and off topic though. however, this is the internet, and youre more than just likely to run into hotheads and trolls here. learn to deal with it and grow a thicker skin.

There are still rules

...

1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads. [1][e]

2. No off-topic posts.

3. No trolling.

...


A while back, I had 1-2 posts removed, because I also thought there were no rules. They were right about that, even though, they were less insulting than what hdbuck posts nowadays.

The moderation of these forums is largely dependant on the fluttering of butterfly wings in Japan.

Welcome to the internet. There are quite a few of these kinds of trolls. It is probably best that you just ignore them.

No, they should be delete like everthing else, trolling is not allowed either, im not sure why they are not deleted yet maybe because mods didnt look at it yet? We definitely shouldnt ignore them, we dont ignore spammers why would we ignore this kind of people?

And ...
no response from a mod, yet.
I have been on many forums in my life, but the mods in here are the worst, I have seen so far ...

I think you should man up & stop getting upset about things people say on the internet. If somebody annoys you just put them on ignore.

I guess you don't hang out in altcoin forums a lot. There are mon jokes in almost every thread, lol. If you feel insulted just try to come up with a wiser insult or ignore them completely.

Funny, I thought it would be icebreaker posting such pictures(see fine print in OP)

So, the conclusion is, that mods don't even care to answer to such a thread. Hey dickheads, anybody there? Are you too busy sucking theymos' cock?

Mods have replied to threads like these and they probably don't reply if somebody has posted valid points.

No, I prefer the current policy of not banning someone over a single post (unless they are a newbie), only if the problem becomes a pattern.
Well, technically, insults are considered trolling, and trolling (on more than a few occasions) is a bannable offense.
 -snip-

tl;dr -- if they ban users who insult, they will have to ban you too!

^fuck you noob/troll/shill.

Post deleted. You only need to report that post. It sometimes take a while before it get deleted.

It's the internet. What goes on in real life is what matters. Who cares what someone online says, especially with all the idiots I see here throughout the forum.

Swearing is fine in the context it it used. Swearing actually instills emphasis - which is useful in some forms of context.
