Member Disputes.

Sparta · 08-27-2007, 10:19 AM

I believe the rule regarding member disputes is as contradictory and confusing as it can be. On one hand we are required to avoid member disputes, while on the other we are required to deal with disruptive posts.

In the past we have erred on the side of caution and not dealt with member disputes, while ignoring the fact that they are always disruptive. I myself prefer a hands off approach to moderating, but what transpired over the weekend was some of the most disruptive and childish shit I've seen on this forum since I've been a member.

As long as I remain a mod, this activity will no longer be ignored. Save your personal drama for some place else as it is not welcome at PH. All personal drama will be treated as disruptive postings, and will be met with moderator action.

Please consider this a public warning, any future violations of this rule will bypass the customary warning and lead to an immediate infraction.

Hey Sparta, I heard your girlfriend left you for another woman in another forum. Is that true?

It's true his girlfriend left him for Leo's girlfriend...

That's all well and good, Sparta, but even after you posted this public warning it's still being carried on. You guys might want to do a clean-up in this thread, especially of this post, which continued to carry on with the drama even after a bunch of threads about the drama had been locked...

I don�t see a problem. What�s wrong with people voicing their opinion? It never was a problem when we were always being attacked in the Religion form nor did we complain except when you and OM removed one of our threads.
Oh I forgot attacking us isn't disruptive and childish.

Not attacked, just called into question. It's called debating. If you want everyone to praise the lord 24/7 and never question the science fiction of religion, then go join a religious affirmation forum where people just complement each other with "soothing" words and passages from the Bible.

Constantly.

I recall something; refresh "our" memories. Perhaps it was moved to the humor section.

We did not complain until one of our threads were moved and only on public form. Ask the Mods how many times I complained to them.

The answer is none.
