Stupidity of the forum rules.

Okay. Let's be frank here. I'm the very fucking reason why you can't call out members. Everyone knows this, because I got fucking butthurt and caused an alteration in the rules. All because I come from a hugbox community (I still hate that term it sounds like a gay orgy, where do you people come up with this shit?)

But in all honestly, fuck me, fuck how I feel, who gives a shit? Just because I get pissy doesn't mean the entire forum should be punished.

I've noticed that you can call out staff but not members.... That's stupid. Staff are still members of the site. They just have tools to enforce the rules. That's really it.

So what gives? Either it shouldn't be allowed at all, or the other should be allowed.

This poll is biased because I'm voting for option number 2. Who's with me?

That rule exists because of whiners who make a big deal out of people calling them out.

Staff members generally don't care.

That's why.

That's not a vaild excuse. All of the whiners left already. I'm the only one left and I'm done giving a shit.

People can call me out all they want.

It's tru that we generally let staff call outs slide; and that's really only because they have the perms to take care of themselves if needed.

It isn't the forum drama that drenched the site before you had joined was a problem since it had first formed.

No I am the very cause of that rule. I am also the very cause of penguin party.

Everyone said it's my fault that happened and I take full responsibility for it. If anything it's made things worse, not better.

You're not that important, dude. It was a lot of things plus common sense that lead to that rule being brought into existence.

But I'm a big contributor to that factor and you know it. I bet you if I never signed up in the first place, that rule most likely wouldn't have existed.

I think it should be changed to "Calling out members in a malicious or deregotary manner is forbidden", so that it's clearer that it's only a problem if the person being called out finds it one. I've been "called out" before, but I didn't mind.

Mr. Psychologist · August 30, 2015, 05:50:12 AM

It wasn't done for you deci, it was done because of the incessant flamewars that people liked to start with each other. It's also common sense to not let a thread like X User is a FUCKING FAGGOT GOD DAMN™ fly.

Generally if a thread is calling someone out and it seems to be joking, I'll wait and see if the user in question reports it. If they do, it'll get locked without question but more often than not people have the maturity to not just scream and cry at being called out in a bit of brash humour.

Staff also generally don't care about being called out because if they couldn't handle a bit of PSYCHOLOGY IS A PSEUDOSCIENCE/YOUR WAIFU IS SHIT/KILL YOURSELF YOU GOD DAMN KIKE then I doubt they'd make good or even passable staff members.

The rule is more than clear why it's needed, your buddy Flee explained it.

I thought the calling out rule was put into place because of Kinder
It was the Kinder, Comms, Noelle triumvirate
I remember Noelle having a few call out threads, but not in any negative manner. Kinder on the other hand was all about the to the death flame wars.
Yeah it was mainly to avoid the situation that shitted up the ProBoards forum

towards the end it was just non-stop calling each other out between those three
I wasn't on ProBoards so I guess I wouldn't know. But if there's one thing I gotta say, it's that the majority of some people's more malicious shenanigans were behind the scenes in PMs, skype, and outside the forum.

Then I guess the rule was reasonable then. The malicious shit should've stayed where it was instead of jumping into a fan.

But OT it's pretty obvious when a callout is in jest rather than to insult a person, so it's fine as it is.

Poll

Which would you rather have?

Stupidity of the forum rules.
