Subject: Identifying Jerks.

At what point do you decide that someone's being a jerk? When do you decide enough is enough and report them?

Bonus question: What should be done with members who just can't be tolerated?

Key

If they call any given person any word that is -blam'd!- or drama from one thread carries over into another. Or they randomly hate on somebody for no reason because of a personal bias.

Excessive swearing.
Not listening (Or reading I guess).
repeating the same argument over and over.
Create a thread that's obviously flamebait (Mac vs PC, Anything vs Halo)

Generally I think of myself having a watch list with levels. (Almost always accurate for me too)

If they're rude and I don't know them. Because if I know them, I'll know if they're kidding.

If the person on the receiving end of something that seems rude knows the person giving it, mostly it's for kicks and giggles. But if you get, say, Qbix and I? This is genuine malice I have for that fishy jerk. And he smells like the color of his text.

I don't think I really distinguish "jerk" posts from regular posts. People post with opinion and emotion all the time, all I really concern myself with is what they're saying and the facts behind it and logic behind it.

Just because someone isn't babying you shouldn't warrant a report. If you're so low that you report posts, you should at least report spam or problem posts.

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

"enough is enough"?

If someones post is against the rules, is only attacking another memeber, or other bad things I will report them on the spot. I do not clutter the posts Ninjas must go through by spamming it on people who are well-meant and took something seriously.

PEANUT-BUTTER SLAP!

What constitutes one's jerkiness(mmmm jerky) varies from jerk to jerk, but I don't report people just for needing an attitude adjustment.

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

When do you decide enough is enough and report them?
Whoa man that's a tad extreme. I mean it's easy enough to track down most people's personal details (after, of course, deciding enough is in fact enough) and go from there but reporting - that's some hardcore -blam!-.

July 15, 2008... The day the timer stood still.

When it feels like I'm arguing with a 12 year old on the internet instead of someone with some inherent maturity.

Actually, if it comes down to actually arguing on the internet, then I kinda feel like a 12 year old anyways...

>jerks from 4chan

Most of the /b/tards don't actually act that way outside 4chan. It's just a way to make themselves look stronger to outsiders only when they're on 4chan. It's to scare away casuals and summerfriends.

Welcome.
You have just entered my mind. Please sign the contract before continuing further into this black hole to acknowledge I am not at fault if any mental/physical damage is caused to you whilst viewing my history. If any damage to yourself is caused, please call your whaambulance for advice.

Oh, why I have a jerkometer to decide.

Or it could be that's how they actually think. Obviously no /b/tards act that way out in the real world, because they'd be viewed as having serious problems. 4chan is just an outlet where they can express what they think/feel.

As far as the OP is concerned, I'd say it's hard to pin down a 'jerk', since everyone defines it differently. Some people here think that anyone who says anything slightly sarcastic or cynical is a jerk, and whine about the need for stricter moderation on 'jerks'.
