Infinity Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Well, I am pretty sure you know what I am talking about, so I'll cut right to the chase. He's been a pretty rude user to some people, however, his posts seem to be borderline. A couple examples: http://forums.starfox-online.net/index.php?topic=1961.msg67283#msg67283 http://forums.starfox-online.net/index.php?topic=1951.msg67307#msg67307 Also you could do a search on this specific user's posts and you can see him just being outright mean at times. I wasn't exactly sure what to do because I did not want to step on anyone's toes. However, his behavior seems to be rather consistent and something should be done about it.

Steve Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 unless someone reports any kind of abuse or if he doesn't do anything wrong, there is nothing we could do. I guess we could send a PM telling him to "cool" his behavior because it is bothering some members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Well, this actually ISN'T the first time he has been brought up. Those two posts, however, do not violate any rules. He's actually gotten better lately. I almost banned him at one point for direct insults. I suppose we could take a staff vote on whether or not to ban him under rule 11. I wouldn't miss him if we did, but this isn't something I want to do unless most of you guys think he should go. I would rather take it to the community as a whole, but that would cause a big mess that I do not want to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 a small warning should be enought for this case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 Yeah, I know those posts do not violate the rules, but you know he could potentially scare away people from this forum with that attitude. I'd give him a warning at the very very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeWalker Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 If he's been warned once, he's not likely to change his behavior again with a second warning. I personally wouldn't vote for a ban unless there have been numerous user complaints about his behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I warned him last time through PMs. I may issue a public warning next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Krystal Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I think his main problem is he doesn't seem to understand what an opinion is, and insists that what he has is not one, but fact. I'm referring to the now infamous topic that wasn't even about how the G-Diffuser worked, but somehow became a shouting match about it. I'd hate to ban any user, even... Karl, but he is ultimately who decides if he is banned or not, by his behavior. If he will cool off, I'll do a happy dance and forget all about what he did. He has seemed better, but still borderline in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
