    ok, folks say that there a rules restricting insults in our forum.

    are you ready to be banned for a week when someone tells me that your post is insulting him?

    you know, there are some direct and clear insults. these cases i can handle myself henceforth. and there are some indirect and allusive insults, like sarcasm.

    so question is: whether moderatorial should be changed here (me myself will punish for clear insults and punish offenders by someone's reports on indirect insults and resemblance on insults)?

    It would work only if someone emotionally and socially sensitive could be the judge of it all. Since it's not the case, nope. Stick to laissez-faire.

    I voted no.

    Reason is simple. If someone were to tell you someone's post is insulting, he could just say that for fun. Much in the same way the rep system was abused this would be abused. So, you'd need to have some sort of a jury, to judge the credibility of all this, and heh, then we're back at the beginning, working with moderators.

    Nah, I think the moderators are doing a good job. Not that they're doing much work, but that's good in my opinion.

    If 95% of the people have no problems with the current system, and 5% do, then there's a big chance the 5% of those people need to do something about it themselves rather than have the other 95% adapt to their wishes.

    I think everyone here is the enough old to defend themselves, or at least to ignore others. Censure is always bad.

    One thing that i loved when i came here was that, nobody would erase my comments. It s funny that i find a lot more of liberties here in the eveil russian server than in most webs and forums of the rest of world.

    Then there was no point to make this poll. Add one to the "woodpecker".

    The very form of you statements in the poll automatically bias the results.

    Perhaps you should enforce the rules that everyone has already agreed when first becoming a member here, rather than issue a poll for gathering consensus?

    Since when has this forum become a democrasy?

    So basically fuckie's right this time.

    The voting isn't over yet (or is it?) and yet you still made a decision to ban people for week in case of "insult"
    (tbh I have no slightest idea about the "ambiug...abmi...that other word) (no, I can't use dictionary, my thumbs hurt) (no, not getting into that)

    Does this mean that I can't insult broz (if that hairy ape ever crosses this forum again), sebbo (that is just so insultatious) or reubens dead squirrel?

    When they all know that I'm not serious?

    Are we on the way to "who yells loudest, wins?" (well, works with my kids, I'm always right...)

    And now, something completely different...
