I didn't realize until I read this thread that there are people who "report" others and essentially tattletale.
Sorry, I don't believe you.
I'm with Mac-A-Matic on this. So sorry the mods have had to deal with these issues.
I wasted about 3 hours 'babysitting' people at work yesterday, but those were in person issues. I'd hate to be a virtual babysitter, too!
In Black's defense, I didn't realize that this was a significant issue. Those people need to grow up. I think people who harass the mods with unwarranted complaints should be given a couple of stern warnings and after that send them to the gulag.
You guys (sekker/davester) are being played. What I'm referring to are the folks who want =only= to get the ranting forum shut down because they perceive it to be left-leaning. So they intentionally provoke and provoke until they have a reason to hammer the "report' link and complain to Larry directly that everyone's mean to them. The characterization that moderation resources are being devoted to people who are thin-skinned crybabies is not an accurate portrayal of who may be causing headaches and why they're doing it.
