NCR: What is considered a personal attack?

[Chelsey]

I was wondering this after checking out that "DJ Countess" thread in our Supporters Clubs' board. I noticed a few posts got deleted, and I wondered why.. I don't recall what exactly was posted (memories horrible, and when I read it yesterday, I was battling fatigue).

So what does? I mean, would me calling Hang an "@ss" be a personal attack?

I believe the term is "alcohol-related blackout."

[Hector & Jane]

What Hang said to you would be a personal attack. Is he really a board moderator? If so, the board administrator might want to deal with him once and for all. No place for such an ass here, IMO.

Shoot - No, that's just Hang being his sweet self. I'd never take one of his comments as a "personal attack", which is sort of my point.. does someone have to complain about a post in order for it to be a personal attack?


Also, I see you're sort of new here... so here is a friendly tip: a lot of us are a$$es around here, it's pretty much the semi-norm. But we're all good people (cept Eggy)..

Thanks - and we're cool if you and Chelsey are. :)

I think it's a personal attack when you direct a public, venomous response to a single individual outside the context of thread instead of taking it to private messages.

For example: if we're discussing whether to use a catapault or a giant slingshot to fire GA then I posted, "what a stupid reply you dumb*** ****** stupid ***** ******, why don't you shove a grenade **** ** ***** and ******* *** *** die ********!" or something ghetto Hallmark'y like that.

The mods would come by with their checklist:
(x) vulgarity
(x) threat of death or bodily harm
(x) insertion reference
(x) spelling errors
(o) spam
(x) victim didn't deserve smackdown

Then take appropriate action: edit or delete post, displine me in a way I wouldn't enjoy, PM all parties involved to resolve the issue.

Of course, I'm just guessing at this point...

I don't even want to know what type of discipline you do enjoy.

That would be too personal ...

El Jefe gives the best explanation of this I have ever heard. SoccerAndy5, otherwise known as AndyHumpingMyPillowScreamingForAimer5, was outraged that someone would admit it, but it is a largely subjecyive decision based - at least in part - on whether you are a complete douchebag.

[Chelsey]

I was following along 'till about mid-second line.. and then I got completely lost.

[Bill Archer]

I forgot - you came around AFTER SoccerAndy5 - otherwise known as Pu$$yDouchebag5 - was banned forever from the Crew boards by Huss himself.


You missed it. Guy was a real piece of work.

Ask Segroves sometime. Tell him I told you to ask him to describe AndyHumpingMyPillowAndCallingItAimer5 to you.

Boy, now those were the days.

What's frightening is that he was a real person...I bumped into him in like 2000 or 99 or something...I ran away.

Chelsey, is H&J a friend or are you bringing bodyguards on these here boards?

This is pretty much true.

The Crew forum is one of the "rougher" team forums on BigSoccer. The bottom line is, we as moderators can't dictate the nature of the forum independent of the participants. That's what Andy didn't understand.

I think we have a pretty decent team of moderators, and we work well together when action is required, which isn't often right now (touch wood). Judgements are subjective, but I think forum regulars have a pretty good understanding of what we will and will not let go.

That would be too personal ...

His wife dresses up as Snow White and it involves some dwarven whips, chains, and leather.... I think that is sufficient detail.

Grouchy, you should get Fid to help you bust out a website and tap that keg of money just waiting to be made on the internet.

I actually kind of miss it, as it always was cheap laughs and easy fodder. SA5 was basically like a flaming gay realator who was somehow ultra conservative as well, but maybe I'm remembering him wrong. The guy was just messed up on countless levels, but wanted to soccermom-police the forum. The guy had gotten the CLockwork Orange treatment but was subjected to hours and hours of Lifetime, WE, and Oxygen to rid him of any testosterone inspired ultra-violence, or any manhood at all for that matter.

Hope that helps rekindle the fond memories of The Poster Formeraly Known as SA5.

Right, to actually go on Chelsey's question and to build on this post, I think one of the big things to avoid are racist comments. Whether its whipping out the old nicknames for the Irish, Italians, African-Americans, Anti-Semitic... I think religious attacks are fairly intolerable as well. There doesn't seem to be too much of a problem with just general name-calling and middle school style put-downs.
