Ive see it happen, just because for e.g. refuses to serve as a slave to people who can be harsed to make a contribution get the hump.
Therefore in every other topic or thread or post they find a way to stick offensive, false, and downright provocative comments mixed with colourful wildly inappropriate language ..
There is no visible moderation which is impartial and unbiased, in fact even a mod has been known to taken a stab.
If this is the way these forums are managed I dare challenge that definition at risk of serving up as a bullseye for these kind of unsavoury characters.
Its time forum rules are enforced.

Thanks for the feedback, but I'm not sure exactly what you are referring to. Which rules do you feel we should be enforcing more (or less?)
As far as I'm concerned, the less rules we have the better - most folk are civilized enough to not require them, and the few that aren't tend to be ignored for the most part. I'm happy to look over them if folk feel as though they're not being implemented or are silly for some other reasons.
By definition, moderation cannot possibly be impartial or unbiased, as mods are making the decision as to whether or not they should intervene, and each one is different.
Sometimes mods screw up, sometimes they miss stuff that should be moderated, sometimes they moderate stuff that shouldn't be, and as different mods are responsible for different areas, sometimes it's inconsistent.
If you don't like a particular posters attitude for whatever reason, then ignore them. If you feel they're breaching "rules" then feel free to let a mod know - but don't expect them to agree with you necessarily - everyone reacts differently.
Cheers,
Jonathan

We and you are humans. As jmarahall say report it and the reaction might be agreed upon. Best view ever from mass effect (perhaps wom philisopher originally) "with 3 humans in a room you have 6 oppinions". The less rules we have the better and the more people ignore inappropriate (dont feed the troll) the better

I don't disagree, In fact I agree no one is perfect, most of all me, however someone should edit out
posts that have been reported via the forums or at least look at them and do something about it, doesn't have to be drastic,
just remove out of topic provocative stuff something innocuous and leave it. I'm sure weeding out any comments that are set to provoke a flamewar irrespective if they get ignored or not will get the message across.
Im sure everyone has a bad day here and there. having said that, please refer to my first paragraph on this post.
@
jmarshall this is what I think should be more enforced.

Not sure what editing anyone's posts is going to do, bar removing public history of the comment and thus limiting peoples' abilities to do some forum-search research on a certain poster to get a bigger picture about said person. I personally never edit other people's comments, as long as they aren't drastic - racism would be a good example. There'll always be conflicts between people and I am not going to partake in each and everyone of them on the forums here - stay calm and ignore the annoying people.

@FishOil: let's try and keep this civil, no sense in pointing fingers here or starting some flame war.

Yeah, I'm shutting this thread down. Being raised American, I'm incredibly loath to censor anyone, regardless of how vile, unless it results in an invasion of privacy. I'd consider outright banning someone WELL before I consider deleting words.
Beyond that suggestion, the request is that moderators be more active and less biased. Duly noted.
