I hope so cods. You're correct, this forum has become a cesspit of one liners.
Weeding out the culprits is the beginning of sorting it out.

now dont you start with the name calling its the members after all that do all the nasty isnt it?.....

I dont know what the answer is....half the place could be on the ban list....lolol

maybe dish out red cards...like the footy... a red spot could come up on a members name they are under a warning.. one more offence a months ban...

a little bit of shaming might stop the rot...

I do agree the place is lowering its standards

but I draw the line at cesspit... Cheesy

Cods - I learnt a long time ago that many questions go unanswered, so my solution to this frustration is to use a little intuition as to why various actions occur.

Try and guess why the thread was closed.

My guess is that too much negative information was directed at a particular member. Occasionally GMods have to use their personal discretion when closing a thread or banning a member regardless of whether a rule has or hasn't been broken. Whether we think it is fair or not is irrelevant.

maybe so......but then the finger is pointed in all directions isnt it??>.

unless someone complains and then someone gets banned I dont see what the subject matter has to do with gmods... to be honest..

as we say they cant read everything thats why we report people......otherwise it becomes a dictatorship...

a bit like somewhere that remains unnamed.. Wink

There is no moderator of Extremism Exposed Cods, so the GMods are forced to decide which direction it takes. Maybe someone could volunteer for the job of moderating it, but then it could become even more restricted than it currently is.

why cant gmods issue warnings....

to b e honest I find a lot of mods on here are extreme in their modding....always threatening and banning... I dont wish to be attacked by a mod everytime I open my mouth......

I honestly dont see myself as abusive....and I would prefer someone to tell me why something I said was abusive so I can at least see how others see me...

if I am not told I can do the same thing over and over....

I think I am a pretty reasonable person..

I have been called everything....vicious hateful all sort..

but when I ask for a link it never comes....

itsnt that just as bad as being ignored when asking a simple question regarding behaviour.??

well I think so..
