Default Question to mods? Flaming

I have run across a few people who don't seem to be able to debate their arguments and prefer to flame and cast personnal insults. I'm not complaining as I am quite capable of handling the situation myself. That is if it isn't against the rules to retaliate. Is it? If not I must insist you enforce the rules then.

By retaliate I must inform you I can be very offensive and I will go for the throat. I will reduce my attackers to quivering masses of jibber jabbering insanity. I of course will not apologize for my behavior afterward or offer to drag their drooling carcasses off the premises.

Thank you in advance for you're advice and consideration about this matter.

Default Flaming...eh

What can you do? This is a forum for politics, were hopefully you will not encounter those who are immature. Yes, there are some wise cracks to those who are a little over the top, but that just is fun and games. Also, there are a number of people under eighteen on this site. Good news is, if the person who finds joy in name-calling visits here, his mind might be boggled by all the intelligent people on this website, and refuse to stay for a long period of time.

But don't worry, usually, if there is a person who is a little egotistical, Doctiloquus will take care of them.

Default Well...

You set me right in an indirect way. I watched your power under the "burning" of American-Racist. Keep up the good work!

...you've ruined my conspiracy theory! It was really good as well, it had Jews in it and everything.

Oh well, I've got another one, it's about the avatars. The Jews must be responsible for that!

Flaming and/or name calling is definitely against the rules. There's a limited number of mods, and we're not here all the time. Even at that, not all the mods are actively watching. (Believe it or not, we actually have lives.) We will miss a lot. On the bottom right of every post is a notification button. Use that, and we'll get to it as we can. If you like, send one of the mods a link and we'll also look into it that way.

Repeated offenses will get warnings and eventual banning by the board owner. Here's a link to the board rules:
http://www.politicalforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=4745

Usually the person flaming is someone who is new to the board. Please keep that in mind. If you insist on everyone following the rules to the letter of the law, be prepared to live by that same law. Generally speaking, we run a pretty loose ship. We try to get along with everyone and give people a wide berth, but even we have limits.

For example: not many boards will you see as many varied users from Anti-Semitic "It's all the Jew's fault" to light hearted "What's in your CD player?"

Try to be thick skinned, and grit your teeth a lot. I've found that you usually get respect if you give it. Sometimes I don't give it, so I get what I deserve. I'm as guilty as anyone of some things.
