But no, for the most part (and I mentioned a few exceptions above), we aren't going to moderate it. We're certainly not going to start untangling insults and their causation. We don't have time to do it, we don't have the desire to do it, and from our experience doing it, it solves little. It has proven to be a shit job for us with little net-benefit to the site.
So the ONLY exception you listed was the use of "multiple avatars doing the attacks". The nature, content and/or results of the attacks are not considered PERIOD, by the administration of this website?
Do you know what you're essentially telling me? That's scary dude...
Maybe it's better that people don't know this...
No, that's not what I said Squishy. There are a few other times. But...we are NOT getting into cleaning up insults. And for the most part, we are leaving it alone.
"scary"?
Most people really don't seem to care that much as long as the insults stay there. Chief sums it up nicely in his post above.
Sorry you don't like it.
I'm sorry but I went back through the whole thing and the only "mentioned a few exceptions above" I could find were the multiple avatars, so no, you did not list anything else. I would like to hear them if your willing to list them...Could you have been mistaken and thought you listed them but in fact did not? I can only assume, by your statements, that your replies have been complete...
Some things we will delete include threats of violence, illegal stuff, advertisements, etc. Sometimes we'll find other stuff that strikes us as contrary to the interests of the site, but aren't listed, and we'll delete it. I'm not going to list everything. You can read the FAQ and terms of service for more info.
I did not, repeat, did not say that was the "only" reason for moderation. That is your insertion of the word "only" into my statement.
I think I'm going to move on now...
