Title: Maybe a not so great example is being made....

In that Heavy Metal thread, I't noticed name calling has started and I think it reflects poorly on the forum, moderators fighting amongst eachother. Before anyone screams I am NOT placing any blame on anyone for rebutting back and forth. I just think that it's creating tension in the thread and therefore making it less attractive.
This has happened before and it doesn't reflect well on us, so why don't Hombre and Donut resolve this issue amongst themselves.
That's my input, carry it on in public if you want.

Hombre wasnt flaming or calling names. Only Donut was from what I read.
Let's all refer back to the rules in News for what should happen in this case. Considering Hombre is in charge when I'm not here, he is technically admin (without CP access).

Yes that's why I didn't say any particular name, I don't believe I've seen any name calling from Hombre.

Brandon is right. Of course, I tried stopping things, but Hombre had to get the last word in. Well... up until now, it seems. Took long enough to be the more mature person and let it go.

That's because, I, being the more mature and responsible person, did not resort to such frivolities as name calling.

Alright.
| QUOTE (Rules) |
Here are the current list of moderator rules (Keep in mind, these will be updated over time):
1. If Moderators spam, setting a poor example and shaming our staff, they WILL post an apology and straighten themselves out before gaining back their powers. They will be demoted to committee members until they have earned the right to regain their moderator powers.
2. If Mods post pornography (or break any of the Invision Rules), They will be IP banned and done with.
3. If Mods flame other members, they will be subject to the same punishments as #1. |
Though, it's a little hard to enforce the the "earning the right to regain their powers" thing without access to the ACP, the rules state that a public apology is in order.

If I'm not mistaken, I'm allowed to discuss all facets of any post in that thread, provided I stay on topic. Since this is a forum, and it's intended for discussion. Whether you like it or not, any post you make may be discussed long after you make it, and the subject may continue for as long as people make it relevant. And, quite obviously, since you baited both Saiyu and myself with that one post, you wanted a reply, then complained when you got it.
As for me, I was just discussing the topic. You were the one that felt the need to start name-calling. Which, would make me the more mature person by default.
Regardless, by the rules, you need to post an apology and straighten yourself out. :)

I wanted a response. I got it. You did not have to continue the arguement.

You have only yourself to blame. :)
