Private messages are supposed to be private. The fact that you are discussing the contents of private messages in public is another lapse of judgment on your part. I don't care if he is banned. Any PMs he sent you before than ban should remain PRIVATE. BNM
He violated a forum rule. Why does it matter why he was banned? NOTHING should give you the right to violate the forum rules you are supposed to enforce. As a moderator, you are expected to enforce the rules, not violate them. BNM
It honestly doesn't matter about the details. Lets just let this cool down and figure this out rationally.
Huh? Is this from that "tampon joke"? Seriously?!?!?! I say fuck, shit and asshole all the time. I think that's a little "On edge" than talking about a freaken tampon. When I saw I was able to type Shit, I almost shit my pants and became a fan. I say relax about the mods, even the ones that have elephantiasis.
Oh and making a PM public is our right to do. Someone tells you something in private, then it becomes your property. It's your choice to make it public. Then that person that PMs you, will choose next time to not tell you again. Weird!
Never. The internet is serious business. The role of the internet forum volunteer is one of high moral authority and not something to be taken lightly, lest we all suffer.
Thank you. Excuse me Boob but the rules are not always clear, I know because I have been a mod here a lot longer than you.
Then you should know personal attacks aren't allowed. If you don't agree with what someone posts. Attack the post, not the person. It's really pretty simple. I don't see anything ambiguous here. Denny Crane deleted your posts and called your behavior childish. Seems pretty clear cut to me. BNM
See I look at rules as more of a "blue print" and fall back for the mods to use when certain assholes show themselves. For the most part, I've seen warnings first and usually the post removes. As for tampons... Hey let your little one walk right next to the baby isle and see that word postered all on the shelves. If you can see it in Safeway, Albertsons or Ralphs, then WTF?!?!?! Is it really that offensive?
