There should be more than one forum moderator. The post has been reported, and that should not take more than 24h to handle.

Each forum should have its own moderator (or multiples), and all moderators should receive "reported" posts.

I agree that in some cases forum moderation should react bit quicker. Still, be sure they do react, even if it takes a bit.

Until then green button is really helpful against individuals who behave far beyond what can be seen as only a bit slow and clumsy when
it comes to social interaction... [;)]

it is indeed a disgusting interpretation of that image

You got it - his interpretation is pretty sick.

Go join the fail trolls.

Interesting how you classify anything you don't like as "trolling". Anything you disagree with, is immediately classified as trolling. You have a love-fest with Data et al, and choose to try to intimidate, bully and otherwise enforce silence of anyone whose statements you don't like or simply disagree with.

All the while, you're happy with personal attacks and personal insults. Umm... ya, right.

Sounds more to me like an attempt at cyber-bullying.

ps: Was posting your photo on the forum some sort of romantic outreach to me? Sorry, but I don't swing that way.

Might I ask our resident genius TWO simple questions:

1. Was I ever ASKED to remove the picture?

2. Was I subjected to personal abusive attacks?

Since you're so observant, perhaps you can answer those two simple questions?

Kayoz, please may you remove the picture? It is being interpreted as offensive and inappropriate by a significant number of people here. Thanks

Hi Simulation01,

It is nothing personal.

1. I am very busy
2. I am also unfortunately dealing with a series of personal crises lately
3. I am waiting for a new build from Elliot with some of the additional art integrated before we post more screenshots
4. Reporting posts or posting questions over the weekend means that it's very likely going to be Monday before you get an answer.

Regards,

Thanks for the response Erik. I personally just thought that weapons was an area we hadn't seen any visual news on so.....

I hope that your personal crises are healed...not for your work, but for you.

I was probably too forward with this thread anyway, but I've been a little frustrated lately and I became impatient.

Also, I tip my proverbial hat to those that shared constructive responses in this thread.

Erik, doesn´t complying with your request at least require the person in question to understand the term
"reasonable civility and taste"? Remembering the content of post #5 in this thread does in no way suggest
the presence of this understanding.

I am sick and tired of reading all this disastrous and inflammatory posts about poor Kayoz fellow. Have any of you guys tried to understand him? tried to appreciate his clever posts about the game's and actually the world's shortcomings... NO! ....DO all of you here require others to talk to you nicely in order to reply nicely? Don't you know that we have to keep together... we have to shake hands, hug and kiss (brotherly way, not the french way)... I mean... you'r all so mean. I am extrmeley disappointed in all of you there.

... green buttons, ignoring the poor fellow. That's not the way civilised people of the ugly 21st century should behave! We all have different opinions, norms and values...own beliefs. Do not be ignorant. Do not judge the guy just because he acts like a jerk. Try to aks him about how his day went, or if he finally managed to catch a lass or two... I mean I've read all his posts and whinings. Don't you understand? He only asks for all the troll messages and posters to go away. That's a decent thing to ask. He even uses that cute anti-troll spray that everyone hates so much.

Remember! Not all of us are priveledged enough to have a decent character. I remember back at achool .... I was in a so-called popular group of guys and we had this really, really lame nerd, this poor guy ...we were so mean to him ... and now he is very rich and I wish I was his friend back then so that I could hug him now... I don't know why I wrote that one...

Peace guys... release the true hippies hiding inside you all. Love everything and everyone. Someone posts something rude... HUG him! Hug him..he'll join you sooner or later. I think I am going to go hug my boss now and aks him why he wants to fire me....

If they operate anything like we did when I was moderating a forum, a lot of times the guilty party simply isn't heard from again. We did not make big announcements that some one was banned, we just banned them and sent them an email stating such and the reason it happened.

Granted it seems an offensive post would be edited or removed though, and since I can't see it in the first place, I can't tell it if has been.

The post has been edited (by Erik) now.

I found the image provided morbid and bad taste, and at the same time slightly funny. Morbid and bad taste does not belong on this forum, though. I would expect a mod edit quite quickly, but no other noise. If a user is banned/suspended I won't expect to see sign of that on the forum, apart from maybe a user going all quiet.

Hugging trolls is not a good idea. Just my personal opinion :]

"reasonable civility" also covers lying. It also covers attempts at bullying.

Your picture is in bad taste - it's clearly taken from a non-PG rated game. Remove it.

This post is provocative and offensive - you are stirring up religious hatred by using the forums to prosthelytize your religion.

That would have been the appropriate response at the beginning - but no.

What happened? Personal insults and attacks. Flame war. Bullying. maybe if you and your cybor buddies had any intention of something other than being pricks, you'd have cut out the insults, attacks and bullying and tried ASKING.

Go cybor some more with Data & LoBaron - clearly it's what you get off on. And maybe light some cats on fire while you're at it. Right up your alley, ain't it?
