the people who report others are well rehearsed and knowing a new poster is not educated on the finer points of public debating will use that to their advantage

it is a struggle for me to have this chat with out using specific examples but that would most defiantly break the no name and shame rule, so please extract my meaning so i do not violate them myself

I know exactly where you are coming from, and i could think of a couple of people that are well rehearsed in this :@
Remember Caz. Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

CM said: "However, we have, and will continue to warn or take action against users if they are very clearly baiting users in a thread and then reporting them to FH, as this is both against the rules of RSOF and a misuse of Forum Help."

Well, that hasn't worked very well. Either they don't understand the warnings or don't care about the action taken.

In fact, they seem to present themselves as someone of importance on the forum.

That combined with the apparent selective enforcement would lead most observers to believe the system of forum moderation is enabling their behavior.

Don't even have to take our words for it, there is also an ongoing thread at reddit with some well placed thumbs up.

I'm not sure how anyone familiar with these forums would be confused in any way about this topic. Talking generally or specifically, it is well known.

The poorly hidden dark secret of these forums is that the trolls are the ones bringing punishment on everyone else.

I don't think anyone understands why it has to be like this, or why it would be allowed to happen at all.

@Tenebri
you said "it seems you think there is some kind of conspiracy "

i have seen actions like what i am describing over and over this is not a conspiracy its a observation
it is insulting for you to try and label me as a conspiracy nut case


wooah wooah, i didnt call you a conspiracy nut case. i just said the word conspiracy. please do not take my words out of context and as some form of insult here. when that 100% wasnt what i was doing and that is clear from what i said. i did not call you a conspiracy nut case not in the slightest. if you cant be honest there is no discussion

@ Tenebri

my signature is mine i do not have to explain any part of it, there are clear rules to the signatures and trust me i made sure i am completely in the bounds of those rules until i some how fall out of compliance with the rules my signature will remain exactly as it is worded

as for your concerns i can only refer to the very last part of it ,, " if you feel offended then not post"


again youve taken what ive said and added aload of context that isnt there. i never once said you are breaking rules.

all ive said is im confused with your signature as you also use the "tattle tale threads" so by your own logic you wouldnt respond to yourself.

and no im not offended by your sig as stated im confused by it considering.

I would rather post some comments to educate them to be a better forumer instead.


See, this is what not only this community but this world needs more of.

As for the topic itself, I am still somewhat confused on what's exactly being insinuated here as it seems to sway quite frequently O_o . I feel as-if I missed something important.


yes 100% its really unclear as to what is going on in the thread

so lets get into it,,

this thread is here on HLF because i would never have been allowed to have this discussion in general under the rules set up by that forum

i have waited a long time to be able to discuss my thoughts openly and freely in a more relaxed environment about this subject, and i hope over time i can bring, even more interesting conversations to this forum in the future

First off you could have made this in the WebSite and Feedback section without fear of a lock.

Now I said lock but I did not say free of trolls. Yes We have them and they are dealt with and after reading this thread a few times I think it's part down to trolls just belittling you and others because of how people post. Never worry about trolls. F-Mods and CM Staff see them daily and do deal with them. Trust me on that.

@ tuffy i do not feel the need to report things every time i see it for example there is some one here in this thread that is not discussing the subject matter. it could be argued that the person is derailing, yet that person continues

you are here,,, you see it . you know what that person is doing and why they are doing it so why should i report it

for me i can ignore it ,, but under your position IMO you shouldnt ,,, yet you are, the question is why are you ignoring it? i feel i know the answer but it is not my place to say it


Yes I see it and I know about it. You yourself have said HLF is very relaxed here and a lot more can be posted about and left in view.

Just a heads up here. Now CM Nick is here the F-Mods can only action things that are deemed an Emergency as in someone posting a website that could lead to someone getting hacked etc. Something trivial the F-Mods won't touch it.

If you do feel something posted is crossing that line then the HLF section has a report thread where CM Nick can deal with it.
