Mods. Where are you in these discussions?
We see threads closed down, but the offensive posts are left to fester.
Reports are made. PMs and emails sent asking for resolution. Yet the bullies and serial pests persist.
I am not asking for bans. That is last resort. But are words of caution issued privately to these members?
Like Chris, hotspur, I've noticed things change here in the past year. What I was most proud of with this site has changed profoundly. There were very few abusive posts erupting, but now with monotonous regularity. No one who's responded here wants this behaviour to continue, nor the site degrade. We value it too much. I know I do.
Where has the civility gone everyone?
Like I wrote in my original post, I understand misunderstandings happen. But it seems like first resort now is to rip apart.
Silv, I think I see where you are coming from, but I don't see anything normal in trollism. It's poor form, uncivilised and dehumanising. I don't see why it should be tolerated anywhere, here, at work or at home. But bullying is different. Some folks have developed a liking for their personal bunnies, and target them thread after thread, and that is bullying.
