With this rule:
Be a troll. Trolling is deliberately posting sarcastic, off topic, or rude things to start a fight.
There is scope for blurring of what is a rude comment and someone's sense of humour.
I am just saying that typed words can be misinterpreted as rude or whatever when they are more a sense of humour thing.
If no fight takes place in a thread or between parties, then how can it be determined that something said was rude to someone else?
Comments
Hopefully it's not against the rules to ask this, but how would you prefer such to be stated otherwise, if you were appointed Ruling Monarch of a forum?
NRaas has moved!
Our new site is at http://nraas.net
I am more raising the fact that what is written by one person can be misinterpreted by someone else.
It's not just about moderation, it is also about what other people on the forum will jab away at the report button to raise something that they deem to be something that it is not.
However, there was a time on the forums when people were joining to troll (post pornagraphic material, create actual hate threads, etc) - ie they did it on purpose. Other forum users used to mock each other with their memes and animated GIFs, etc - it was a common thing on the forum that got out of control, etc, etc.
However, if none of those things are going on anymore, then attention is drawn on anyone who is a considerable level below those aformentioned offenders.
Having a sense of humour can get you into the same trouble as a blatant troll who posts 🐸🐸🐸🐸.
I'm just saying it - I am not arguing it or trolling it.
If your not sure about what the person is doing and there is that fine line between joke or offensive, hit the flag button on the post, There is a report that says "Other" . Check off other and then give EA an explanation why you think something is offensive. EA will investigate and determine if someone is breaking the forum rules.
I am talking about the forum users who get reported.
The various cliques and clans of the Simming world do not report their own. People don't report their friends, but they will report someone else for the same thing.
It is just food for thought - a discussion.
I am just mentioning it.
As I have said on multiple occasions - if anyone has a questions on how we moderate the forums you can send me or any of the moderators a PM.
This thread is a discussion on moderation and that is against the Forum Rules.
Thanks,
