Does anyone like getting called a "pathetic loser" on this site?

Madison_Rose · 06-17-2009, 09:36 PM

If anyone called you that, it's a personal attack and a clear breach of the rules. You can click the little red triangle in the bottom left of the offending post, to report it to a moderator.

Is this about my post in the relationship poll? If you view the votes, you see that I was calling myself the pathetic loser. I thought it was kind of funny that I got an infraction for personally attacking myself.

That is kind of funny since I think most people attack themselves daily on this site.

Did you ask to have it reversed? They do that sometimes. I didn't see the post, but it seems like most people here understood that you weren't attacking someone else.

Have a nice day,

We have a profanity filter, but can't put every offensive phrase in. As someone else mentioned, if you feel a post is a personal attack or in any way inappropriate then use the report button in the lower left of posts:

Sarcasm online? That usually has some sort of... hint at it being sarcastic.

Well, it's cleared up - I can definitely say that if that poll in question was not made public, you would not have much of a leg to stand on guys.

Your posts were funny, but they weren't at the same time. You can see the mixed results in this thread alone.

No, but as a moderator, I have been called worse.

***Thread Advisory***
Now that I have spammed this thread, where did the cuss filter topic go?

Anxiety75 · 06-18-2009, 03:10 PM

If a person starts using names against themselves. Who are we to know who the attack is directed to? It makes it harder for the mods to know what to do. I took
this seriously. I can't tell a "joke" from the real thing. I just do my job. I'm not perfect.

<raises hand> I can help filter the bad,negative words out.

VCL XI · 06-18-2009, 04:12 PM

I believe everything's cleared up now. I'll try to be less confusing next time...

shyvr6 · 06-18-2009, 10:46 PM

I kind of wish there were less words filtered. Every now and then I'll be surprised when I type a word in and it's filtered. Especially if that word is used on network television.
