Where would you say your 'line' is?
NSFW, anything that would get someone reprimanded, fired or scolded if they had it on their screen at work or in front of their parents. If it is a topic, something that you wouldn't discuss in front of colleagues, coworkers, your boss, or your bosses boss (or a customer).
I'm relatively pretty tolerant, I certainly don't have thin skin. I am nearly unsquickable, but I know when something is inappropriate for this site. Certainly, my line has moved over the years, usually due to Bungie staff or my colleagues pointing out an inconsistency or point that I had not considered before.
IMO, this is a fun, friendly place, unlike most others on the Internet. If I preferred something more rough and tumble, more mature (in content or conduct), I can/will/do have the ability to visit and enjoy those sorts of sites. But I like to think that I know to wipe my feet (and what to leave outside) whenever I come into this house.
Interesting information, thanks.
Would you be more likely to reprimand somebody who has had their topic 'set' as "reported" rather than just one which you stumbled upon [for the sake of the situation, let's say they are identical posts about Console v Console]?
That's a really good question.
I've seen reported and collapsed posts that I know that I saw while participating in the forum and didn't consider them to be that "bad".
Is my opinion altered if enough of my fellow members took the time to report and collapse it? I could, especially if I was on the fence to begin with. But again, if I disagree with the report, I will act on my judgement. I may lock (in order to placate the reporting members) but choose not to warn or ban the member (because while I agreed that the topic could/should be closed, I didn't view the OP as either an intentional or malicious attempt to disrupt or break rules).
It's a case-by-case basis and there really isn't a set mental algorithm that I can define. It truly is subjective, and I confess, that means it isn't 100% consistent as in "if a topic on _____ is locked, then ALL topics on ____ will be locked". Yes, there are some subjects that are consistently treated (some guy named John Cessna or something, for example) but others may appear to be completely inconsistent. I can't do better than admit that I understand it could be frustrating. I can promise that we all try to be as consistent within our own actions as possible, but even then, we all change, we learn, we (hopefully) improve.Consistently throughout your posts in this thread you have mentioned that each ninja on the forum has their own line to what they consider right and wrong. Due to this, have you ever gone head to head with another moderator that believes on a different punishment for someone who breaks the rules. For example, you want the thread locked but the other ninja(let's say Qbix) prefferes to give the person a 14 day ban. You disagree and being the first moderator to the thread you lock it. However Qbix comes and issues the 14 day ban against your wishes. Has stuff like this happened?
