Personal criticism
Oct 2^nd, 2019 at 5:06pm

[This was commenced in Feedback and moved here by Setanta on the evening of the 6th December, 2019. Mod.]

The Forum has a rule against personal criticism. Why isn't it enforced?

Quote:

Personal criticism
Do not post personal criticism of other members. Do not respond to personal criticism of yourself or other members. This is the biggest problem on OzPolitic. Too many members are easily baited into off-topic personal exchanges. If you participate in any kind of flame war you will be suspended, regardless of who started it or who you think ‘deserved it’.

Most posters obey the rules. Some posters post some personal criticism from time to time. A couple of posters post so many personal attacks that half of their posts contain one in some form or other, yet they are not sanctioned. Why?

How does everyone else feel about this?

You are not entitled to your opinion. You are only entitled to hold opinions that you can defend through sound, reasoned argument.

Yet posts with personal attacks that are clearly intended to provoke a flame war are routinely ignored.

Juliar is prime example of mods giving free pass. How is calling people names e.g. virus allowable based on the forum rules?

It might be better to just bite the bullet and migrate to a different political forum where rules are enforced. If this is a forum for right-wing extremists, then all it is missing is an offiial Lib endorsement.

I agee. I've been visiting here for years - and posting here, but with juliar derailing every thread i gave up. I revisit occasionally to check if management if living up to their standards. Sadly no, juliar is permitted to treat everyone as sh*t.

i see no point in being a member here.

My ISP techs are monitoring my machine

Civil suit re: malicious damage may well result, not to mention serious charges levied re online stalking

I won't mind going to court, armed with whatever evidence transpires. And I'll be delighted if/when perpetrators are held accountable by law

culprits should perhaps start to seriously reconsider

Makes me wonder how many other members this forum has lost due to similar attacks by online criminals

anyway, due warning issued
