Bug Reports (Public) Bug • Page 38

Thanks for the feedback. Can you point me at where I haven't been polite?

 

I'm just...so invested in what could be so time-sensitive and important to drag out like this

 

Yeah Timmy what else are you in to? Football? Horror movies? Pro wrestling? Politics?

 

They're so close

 

timmy are you a celtics fan or celtics hater? where do you stand on turnstile? pigpen? the new deafheaven record? geopolitics? copeland? favorite member of blink? the new ataris song? botch teasing something today? come on dawg

 

Keeping it classy, you lot. I've done nothing but stick to the topic - Help/Feedback/Bug Reports; the same can't be said for you.

Hey Jason Tate...are you still so sure it's my "general attitude" that needs commenting on? I'm not the one antagonizing other users by name, taking the thread off-topic, and generally being derisive. But I'm new here and maybe I don't understand how things are supposed to work. What I do know is that your Code of Conduct says things like:

"Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include: Personal attacks, Trolling or insulting/derogatory comments, Public or private harassment...Other unethical or unprofessional conduct"

and

"Disagreements, arguments, and sarcasm are sure to be found within the threads of this forum, but our aim is to raise the level of discourse away from ad hominem attacks and to a debate or discussion of the ideas themselves."

And your Moderation Policy says things like:

"Our goal is not to stop difficult conversations from happening; however, we want the discussions to be proactive and productive and not filled with insults, name calling, or attacks."

So on one hand you have a (new) user that hasn't done any of the above. And on the other hand you've a set of users that repeatedly have. Your own rules, codes, and policies make clear what should happen next....

 

“Debate me bro” posting from Timmy here

 

Timmy for the record I (and probably the other non-Jason posters in this conversation) just think it’s funny!

The answer to your “I need 20 posts to send a PM” problem is to post more. Find other threads that you want to participate in. It’s a decent community here.

But your insistence on ~rules~ and ~decorum~ in this convo are off putting lol just relax

 

I find your responses to be perfectly emblematic of the concerns I've raised. I make a well thought out post, quoting the rules we're all meant to follow and raising concerns that others are not following them all while I'm being told my behaviour is suspect. And in response to my post (where I quote "...our aim is to raise the level of discourse away from ad hominem attacks and to a debate or discussion of the ideas themselves.") from the set of rules we're all meant to be following, you, a Moderator, engage in ad hominem:

But instead of thinking to yourself 'Gee. Perhaps I should be following the rules, especially as a Moderator.' you weigh in with telling a user that expecting people to follow the rules is "off putting" and to "just relax"

I have no doubt you won't like my response. And I'm certain nothing I say will change your opinion of how this should be resolved. But you seriously need to do some soul searching when a user asking that rules be followed is told they're in the wrong for asking.

 

i think timmy might be a bot

 

You just know Timmy is up to some shady shit

 

Jigsaw energy from this post

 

Anyways, it looks like you were able to PM whoever you wanted about B-sides as of this morning so you should be good to go
