Putting "f***ing" before a tame jab doesn't magically make it more insulting.

Are you saying that "asshole" isn't as tame as "fucking loser".


What a joke.

Edit: just a little aside, putting "fucking" before loser does, in fact, make it more insulting. See, in that example "fucking" is an adjective. Adjectives describe and enhance nouns. Thus, "fucking loser" is more insulting than just "loser".

Glad I could help.

It definitely doesn't. For instance, "f***ing goofball" doesn't suddenly make "goofball" a flame.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. I see people calling others dumbasses all the time and they don't get modded yet I got modded once for saying someone was a "fucking idiot". At least be consistent.

So the act of flaming itself isn't moddable.

There's a subjective scale of how severe the flaming must be to be modded is what I learned in this topic.

Yes, and that is the problem. If I was to go off on you and called you a "fucking cuck loser" nothing would be done. Yet if you responding with "ghettoraider81 you're a real asshole", you would get modded.

It's why this place is a breeding ground for trolls.

Nowhere in the ToU is there anything suggesting a sliding scale and yet they hide behind that.

They dismiss flaming as "school yard insults" yet mod stuff like "idiot". As if that isn't.

Yup. This is the number one problem with the site and the mods know it, yet dont give a fuck.

You can insult anyone with any insult...is it moddable? Who knows. Depends on the mod

No, we care, just with the way the ToU is right now there's not really a line in the sand that makes everyone happy. Also if there are any changes you can be probably assume it's going to get even more lax. That's been the direction the site has been going and will likely continue to go that way in any future ToU updates.

My answer here is if someone posts something that bothers you, mark it then ignore it. Don't get caught up on making sure the person gets 'punished' for being rude, just mark it and ignore it and move on. If you want to avoid being moderated, simply don't be an ass to other users. It's not hard at all to avoid being moderated for flaming unless you're trying to skirt the line of what is allowed and what isn't.

Yeah lets just have volunteer users re-write the Terms of Use (A legal document that goes through CBS Interactive lawyers) and the GameFAQs Board Etiquette as non-CBS Interactive employees. ;)

That's fine, if it's what the ToU says. But it's not. That is what users are reading when they sign up, that is the rules they are presented with, it should be enforced as written.

You say it a legal document that goes through CBS etc... then why is it not enforced as it is written?

You guys throw up the "volunteer" concept all the time, yes you are volunteers, but you volunteered to enforce the ToU as written and you are not doing it.

We already do moderate what is viewed as an insult. It just simply doesn't match up with your view on what we need to moderate. As I said it is not possible to make everyone happy and any changes in the future will likely result in even less things being moderated.

I got modded for calling someone "boy". Like I was just saying "Good games *name* boy", and the mod said that was flaming because I was calling him a child or something. And that guy was my friend. I use boy as a suffix for pretty much all my friends who I played Jump Ultimate Stars with.

How long ago was that? Because calling someone a 'boy' wasn't flaming on this site since I've been a moderator in 2009. Unless there is some context here that is being left out as well.

not to be rude, but i really hated to be called "boy" in real life. it's pretty offensive by my standards on here it probably be the same.

If used in a racial context it can be moderated for offensive, yes. Context would have to be used then though.

The funniest thing to me is that everyone complained for years about the rules being too strict, but the rules becoming more lax is one of the major reasons for the decline of quality of the boards, especially when it comes to discourse.

The obvious bias displayed to older accounts being able to get away with more "just because" doesn't help either.

It definitely wasn't used in an offensive context. The guy was my friend, and as I explained, I just said "Good games ____ boy", since I referred to a lot of my JUS friends with that suffix. It's not like I was saying "Hah, I whooped your ass, boy". I just call my friends both online (from the JUS era) and IRL boy. I'll just say stuff like Aaron boy, Juan boy, perro boy, ferr boy, etc.

It all started from this Garfield comic, although ironically I never use it as an insult

Gosh dang it, this thread sure is filled with fudging goofballs.

Know what's weird? You can call someone an ass, but you can't call them an asshole. An ass encompasses the whole ass, including the hole, but somehow if you just call someone that one specific part of an ass, that's more offensive.

Whole buncha goofin' going on around here if you ask me. Bunch of cootie queens.
