Allow me to share my opinion on the matter. I believe a user should be banned if he/she is insulting someone else, alongside with clearly showing some sort of a hostile and/or unwanted attitude. If someone only insulted someone because it was a joke between the two, or to spice up the chat/discussion, then he/she shouldn't be banned. However, the thing is that I see a lot of trolls and flamers out there that are attacking and making fun of others on a way that makes them feel bad, but it is still not direct insulting. For example, when someone needs help or has took his/her time to suggest something, they tear it down alongside with making fun of the user, such as: "This thread is bad, and you should feel bad about it. Not to mention how bad you are, it's amusing. Just go hide somewhere. You've got problems? Sweet. Now leave." I feel like it's the attitude that should decide whether someone should get banned or not, not the specific words themselves. I actively see 3 users around the forums that constantly make fun of others and put them into nothing, and I would love to see them banned, but it is hard to see that happening, unless I actually have a word with the Staff and explain myself fully. Thank-you very much for the thread, I love the activity it has gained. |

Adramelech said: I'll point out three examples that I've had.It is not rocket science to detect if an insult is directed at a friend as a joke or to harass and attack the other person. I don't know if you are not able to differentiate but people generally tend to have that ability. 1. I told Tavor that I'd kill him if you didn't watch x show. Another user failed to recognize that, insulted me (I didn't respond, just reported), and subsequently both of us received a warning, despite my explanation to the mod handling it. Of course Tavor understood it was a joke. 2. Red Keys tells me to shut up for saying "why not", I poke fun at him by saying I can do it because "why not?" Other users jump in thinking we're having an actual argument. 3. Irc. I join in after ban, I start yuckin' it up with people who know me on there, suddenly irc gets muted and we're told not to insult each other. We clearly explained that we were all friends, and the mod's answer was "I do not keep track of who is friends with who". And no more insults were allowed because "people might read the atmosphere wrong". Well okay then. No more friend moments. So no, "tend to" does not mean guaranteed to. People are fucking stupid WHOOPS moist cucumbers, and not even mods were able to determine on their own if insults can be read as a joke or not. |

Kobapo said: A perfect example. I didn't even ask her to do this.Mellow, you're such a cock sucking faggot. WHO STEPS IN THEIR OWN TRASH. She's insulting me, not showing any indication that she's a friend of mine, and uses incredibly ruthless words that may or may not hurt me (as viewed from an outside perspective). But she's a friend of mine. And if you know how things go, white knights will jump on board and either attack her or defend me (or even defend her) for the right to say such things, all without realizing that she was joking. On an extra note, she has few posts, almost no one here knows her, and posted literally out of nowhere. "Common sense" would automatically assume it was shit posting/trolling. But of course, she's joking. Oops. |

I am talking about moderation, not the "other" people and I am not talking about the irc. So the first two examples are irrelevant and the third one is the issue of irc. Irc is no place to compare here, it is hard to keep track of "who says what to who" in such an environment. So, that is not really a good example for the mal forum's moderation. I fail to see any example where you and somebody else are joking and moderators give you warnings because they didn't understand or see your intentions. It is pretty easy for "other" people to overlook such details because it is not their duty to observe your intentions. In case there is no indication you guys are friends and it is a joke (which is not an appropriate example to make a "general" point), you guys can always talk to the moderators and have them take your warnings back. However, I think deleting those messages is fair if there is no indication of joking. Because it both makes the forums hard to regulate and will make other people complain about it which again leads to the same result. You realize that if such messages were common people wouldn't just keep them at the level of jokes, right? I don't understand why you are trying to outcast the "common sense" with such rare and borderline examples. There can always be measures for those "rare" examples. And they are a lot easy to handle because you won't see that kind of thing all the time. If you can suggest a judging parameter that is superior to common sense, then do it. I fail to see one. If they actually regulated everything according to the written rules and didn't pay any heed to anything else, that would be a lot bigger of a complaining source since there would be no space for any exception. |

So in the end, the people who live their everyday life with insulting others or insulted will use an insult as a "friendly" thing. So, I think the moderator should ban this kind of people. |

@Mellow 1) and 3) are unjust, the 2) is something that sparks discussions, I'd rather keep that. 3) is actually the most annoying, as I'm like what... The third as lines on the MAL IRC? We romanians show sympathy and friendship by mostly being like "I fucked your mom last night.", and I am serious, that's why I find most posts here pretty asinine. Like really, what the fuck am I reading? "You shouldn't be able to insult anybody.", there there, we shouldn't be able to make fun of people either, but we're doing it, if you want to get rid of one thing, get rid of the others too. As one said before me, we're not robots, discussing should come easy, I for one have to censor myself every time I post something because poor Autocrat believes that Hitler is objectively good (check my sig, and I'm sure you meant something else, you just didn't explain it yet to me). Or when I see things like "Men can use force to get sex, they can simply rape women and get away with it.". No, I won't insult the dude, but I'll probably take a harsher tone with him, why? Because I will meet these people in real life. Dudes, in real life we can't discuss most of the shit we discuss on MAL or the Internet in general, if we have to censor ourselves even harder than in real life, what's the whole point? I'm not against the rules currently in place, I just want them to be followed properly. Sometimes when insults are being thrown there are no consequences, sometimes when it's a little thing, the consequences come in and hit you too hard. I for one haven't been banned for sometime, and I was only banned for insulting once out of twelve, I kept on repeating "idiot" several times, but I heard some dudes that got banned for "stupid" and them saying it only once. And then I've read other asinine posts on here like "You shouldn't be able to judge.", Hell fuckin' yeah, all debates will end in draws, nobody is right because you can't judge shit now. That's like the heaviest censoring possible, on George Orwell's level of censoring. I'll use my signature as an example again, even the mods thought of what was written there as "stupid". Then I see "There are some sensitive issues.", what? Are you being serious now? Like, are you thinking with your top end? Some more censoring incoming, why stop at this? Why not simply ban any discussions that aren't anime? B-But wait, what about people that came on the site and are insulted by discussions on anime, what will we do then? I'm confused, help me! Pat_To_Do-List said: So in the end, the people who live their everyday life with insulting others or insulted will use an insult as a "friendly" thing. So, I think the moderator should ban this kind of people. I think that's called discrimination. @Adramelech I'm sorry, romanians don't have your common sense, we insult each other of family and we don't care about it. What will you do about the 16 million to not say each one of them? Common sense is always relative. |

I don't think you'll ever get to understand what "major" and "minor" insults are. To be honest, major insults would be something like, "I hope your family died in 9/11" while something minor would go to shit like "stupid" or "idiot". And yeah, common sense? OH PLEASE, if I'd use my common sense this forum would burn to ashes, that's why I never used my common sense while I was a moderator. I'm still not sure if you guys live in such a "fabulous" world that you don't even hear insults anymore. NOTE: I used the common sense argument once with a mod to try to get unbanned faster. It didn't work. |

You didn't get any warning for using insult words for joking and the person who failed to detect "joking" was not a moderator but a random guy as I suggested. I thought this was pretty obvious, I fail to see how you cannot differentiate between them. Thank you for saying nothing in this huge posts, it has been very constructive. Now if you are gonna keep dodging my real points and answering in an irrelevant way I have better things to do. "To find a way to determine minor insult". Hell of a solution you got there, good luck with making moderators believe they should find a way to determine it rather than suggesting a legitimate way to them. So, according to that, we can just end this discussion right away by suggesting "find a perfect way that will please everyone!". See? Magic. |

And that's why I believe that most of these responses here are pretty asinine, I see people that were inactive for a lot of time or rarely post that are like "Insults are always bad." like what they're saying won't interfere with people that are more active than they are. For example, Adramelech is one of them, his ideas of how the rules should work pretty much revolves around common sense which is relative and mostly his education which is pretty much "I don't agree with any type of insults.". I also see Battlechilli that sometimes debates even if his arguments are on the level of "So underground that you've hit diamond, Minecraft style", and tells us that judging is bad, always, only because his education says that, people can't judge each other, they're not "god" I guess, but how will we learn? He'd rather not choose any side, which is illogical. Then Buttdevastator is the epitome of contradictions, that's why I even skimmed through his posts. Then there's Pat-to-dowhatever that barely is active anymore that says that everything that even looks like an insult should be banned. Oh, by the way, Adramelech, IRC isn't a different platform, it's part of MAL. Also, you always run in circles with your arguments, you almost suffer of Autocratite. You never get to the point, and always use comparisons that make no sense. Actually, sometimes you don't even have a point. I'd say we could differentiate between major and minor insults by discussing it, yes. We already have somewhat a "global understanding" don't we? You said it yourself... |

Then you would report. Instead of seeking a message of mine hoping it would prove me wrong, that may have worked.

It has nothing to do with the current discussion. And I would think that activity would mean "I understand how MAL moderation works" and "I know the MAL community enough to understand where they're coming from". Yes, it does have importance. So you're saying a rookie policeman can perfectly defend the laws he enforces just as well as a veteran? |

Well if you stopped trying to defile common sense from the irrelevant aspects of it, if you stopped using sarcasm in every sentence (I can do that, too, you know? There is a reason I refrain.) then we would have an environment that is not hostile. Also you are still insisting that other people taking your jokes seriously is a fault of moderators. I don't know what jokes were they and how exactly they offended other people so I cannot do any further comment on them. If you are right, that means the moderator were wrong. What do you want me to way? I didn't say they would be absolutely right, all the time. I said they would have a better judgement because it is their duty to observe such details. |

It just confirmed you contradicted yourself and, given the rules right now, if he had reported (which we know most people aren't offended [aka the current ruling on insults is stupid tasty] wouldn't do that) you would be getting a warning from that. I didn't say I would get a warning from that. Did I? You can always report that message to see for yourself. As I argued everybody should be able to report even if they aren't included.

I guess such misunderstandings happen, however, this is not a kind of misunderstanding you would experience while insulting your friend for joking. Maybe I chose the word wrong, I think you are being unconstructive. Which again you will say "oh look, it is relative". Yes, this might be relative but judging if two people are joking friendly or insulting each other with hostility is a completely different case and as I said even if it is not absolute, most people's judgement would be the same. That is why I said "common sense" is important in that issue. Because there is a reason "common sense" occurred. It is to form a healthy order. See? Precisely what we are trying to achieve. |

Adramelech said: Yes it is."Reporting something only if it is directed at you" is not a feasible thing imo. First, it is not really logical to ignore the report if it is not from the person who is insulted (and you cannot keep them from reporting). "He said mean words!!" "Was he offended?" "...No" "Ok.. report ignored." Adramelech said: And that mindset is dumb.Second, I know that the current moderation's mindset is the complete opposite, they approciate it most when you don't ignore an insult that is not directed at you and report it anyways. |

I, for one, don't believe that calling a post "asinine" is insulting. Why? Because as I've said before, it's not a common word and it has a certain sound to it that for not-English speakers or people that don't know a bit of Latin makes it look like it's harmless. Yet it takes a lot of harsh words and puts them together. And I actually laughed at "Sarcasm makes an hostile environment.", OH ME, STOP PLEASE, I can't breathe! If sarcasm bothers you, you have serious problems, you can even use sarcasm to prove your points. And it being "relative" sure is an irrelevant part of common sense, it basically nullifies your whole argument and you're saying it's irrelevant. Autocratite hits again. The thing is, we're all agreeing that the rules aren't just Animecritic, or at least not followed properly, yet people that are inactive like you say otherwise and just put us in the shit. We post a lot more so we know each other better, we are the ones that debate the most, so we're showing off our debate style (yes, posting style can't be changed, your style remains the same, that's why I can detect who is using an alt). You guys don't do anything on the Forums and most of what you say is unfounded or simply bad. If you don't actually use a feature, you can't say it's "good" or "bad" even subjectively, it just makes you look bad. |

I guess editing-adding more would just cause more problems. So: What I refer to as common-sense is not a random tribe's common sense, Norway's common-sense or the common-sense that is existent in a private kindergarden. I don't argue that there is a unviersal common-sense. Mal is a community, common-sense and rules to those communities are cumulatively formed just as their micro-cultures. The common-sense I am talking about is this common-sense. It would be nice if you considered that. Because this common-sense if precisely the natural means of regulation. So, common-sense is kind of a collective-will. |

This community has been around for years, of course there is a practiced common-sense and a culture here. It may be changing rapidly, but there must be one. Edit: I thought there were a lot of people who were complaining about a new moderator who is not an active person on the forums. That is because that person is probably not familiar with the culture of the general forums and that is why people are upset. Because they trust the common-sense of this place and they want someone who is familiar with it. See what the collective will about the topic is? They want someone who is familiar with the culture of the forums that have been practiced all this time. There will either be a model based on what I said (which is more or less practiced now) or a strict and completely determinate regulation. If the latter were to occur, I think there would be more complaints because that one would show zero tolerance to exceptions. As mellow said, there is no perfect system. |

The problem with regulating the rules by common-sense is that there's no strict way of looking at things, and not everyone will view things in the same manner. Its loose and causes things like the inconsistency that moderators have in regards to upholding the rules. Some people get in bigger trouble than others for the same sort of offenses. Common-sense alone is not enough. I feel like mods should set a strict standard on how to uphold the rules and how rule breakers get treated. EDIT: I'm going to come back later with more to say when I have more time and offer up my own suggestions on how the forums should be regulated, as well as get back to some previous arguments that I haven't responded to yet. |

Yeah, and as I said, it's too destructive to be used as the "common sense" of this site. It's an insulting debate filled maniacal slaughtering shitfest, that's what the collective will would look like, but I should add more adjectives. And what I mean by "It doesn't exist" is it doesn't exist in the way you think it does, it's exactly the opposite of the "common sense" you'd think about. Oh, by the way, this one is also pretty relative, some people will disagree with me. |

No but seriously, what is wrong with my idea? If nobody is offended, then what's the problem? If they are offended, they can report it and let that user know that they do not like to be insulted, resulting in a warning and the insult removed. If it continues, that is a bannable offense. Each person reacts differently to insults. So each case should be treated differently, with the most important factor being the reaction of the one insulted. |

If you let insults go because the person they are directed are not offended, then people will start to adopt the insults in their arguments more and more. Because "why not"? There are no measures against it anyway. Either you punish all of them or don't do anything about them. There is no mid-way. Generally the punishment for insult is for the usage of insultation, more than it is because the other person is offended. In order to have a clear idea about this, moderation should state their opinion about this issue. Do they warn because the other person is insulted or do they warn because the insulter broke the rules? |

It seems to take a lot more time and people don't like that. And yeah, most people will be like "I am offended by everything, stop talking to me.", and yes, this is a hyperbole. I, for one, am offended by people that don't know that there is no such thing as objectively good. TheAutocrat's words offended me. Adramelech said: If you let insults go because the person they are directed are not offended, then people will start to adopt the insults in their arguments more and more. Because "why not"? There are no measures against it anyway. Either you punish all of them or don't do anything about them. There is no mid-way. And what would be the problem with adopting them in your argument? I find that they spice things up. And how is there no mid-way here? From what I know, insults also have a spectrum, between minor and major insults there can be %. That way you can say that minor to mid-minor should not be banned while mid-minor to the rest should be banned or warned, or similar. Mid ways can easily exist here. |

I believe it depends on the context and the way you "say it". But no, I don't think it's really against the rules, it kind of sounds abusive from a certain point of view, it takes away freedom of speech. Ohoho~ I love where I'm going at. @Red_Keys People don't really understand that my post style is aggressive/mockery type in certain ways that I belittle their arguments and them. My posting style has definite rules that remain the same, they were formed during my years of debates. (There's more to it of course, I won't go into detail, I'd betray myself) I can't change it, people just think posting style can be changed, but it just isn't you, personalities don't truly change. |

I am not talking about the midway of insults, I am talking about the midway of measures taken against it. Because you either punish because the other person is offended or you punish because the insulter broke the rules. If we are talking about exercising freedom of speech then I think everything should be freed. But that is not really the issue here. |

And also, yes, the midway thing really makes no sense here. I'm just going with the flow because it's fun to argue. My posting style sometimes consists of complete mockery of the opposition, that could be seen as offensive or insulting. You're taking away my freedom by trying to ban me for it. It is an issue. It doesn't make sense even if you say it's about the "bans" themselves, yes, you're either banned or not, but instead of that you can use warnings. |

What I am going with "midway" is what I've been saying in the past two messages. That a ruling system should adopt one of these ideas: Punish because the victim is offended. Punish because the insulter breaks the rules. If they don't adopt one of these precisely, then the rules would interfere with each other and there would be ambiguity. There should be a clear foundation for the rules system to construct further upon it. I am gonna stick with what I said before because I don't think there is much else I can contribute to this discussion: Adramelech said: What I refer to as common-sense is not a random tribe's common sense, Norway's common-sense or the common-sense that is existent in a private kindergarden.

And I think nobody here understands the actual problem. We have problems understanding the actual context, the harm it produces and if it's actually relevant that that harm was produced. One would be offended because his argument would have been called retarded, that's a warning, one would be warned not to call people's arguments retarded, because it's against the rules. But if you can truly argue that an argument really is "retarded", is it a bad thing? I want to be able to judge people's arguments, because that's the whole point of it. There's this rigidity that annoys me in both your ideas. And here you have midways, which are called exceptions to the rules, which almost always exist in reality. As we said before, if you want the collective will to be the rules of these forums then make me a moderator and I'll completely destroy these forums, unless you want me to actually follow some actual rules like I did on other forums I moderated in the past. |

My opinion on that is that an insult to an argument ≠ an insult to a user, especially if backed by legitimate reasons. And what I'm suggesting isn't if somebody calls somebody retarded, and then gets reported by that user, a mod warns them not to call people retarded. I'm suggesting the mod warn them not to call that person retarded. And if it continues after the warning, they can be banned for harassment. |

You won't be able to use any insult, I don't believe this is an actual hyperbole, I'll give you an example of a game where the word "Report" comes out every 3 minutes of the game at any division, AKA LoL. So yeah, we'll get back to the initial rules, it's not that hard to understand. |

If a person contributes something of little worth to a thread which is not appreciated by anyone (or even the opposite, it causes irritation) and continues to repeatedly contribute despite the fact that they have been informed that their affronting posts are not wanted, then I could hardly see why they should be banned for expressing it. Certainly if there is a common consensus within the forum/board/thread that the posts are degrading then why should they be banned for trying to silence them? Should people be banned for trying to shut up trolls? |
