Poll on scum threads
What is your opinion about these thread titles? Complaint threads will always be allowed. It is only the title of the thread that is being discussed.
I will use the results to help come up with the best policy. I just want to see where everyone stands. We all love to bitch, I agree with other posters that we need to be a bit more productive with it though. Please keep the mod issues in the thread and out of the Buildaroll thread as it has been derailed. |

Re: Poll on scum threads
somehow it seems that posting scum threads should be verified or validated by a mod before they ruin a reputation. so many times the "where there is smoke there must be fire" mentality clings even when the supposed perpetrator was totally innocent...the fact that someone dind't like you sticks.

[/ QUOTE ] I've found that negative threads are usually a relatively good thing. If it's a legitimate complaint, it's an opportunity to handle it in such a way that benefits everyone involved. If it's a bogus complaint, the truth nearly always comes out, and that generally makes the original slighted party look good as well. Unless it's a concerted smear campaign, the only ones who have to fear a negative post, are those who really are doing something wrong. I don't know if I've ever seen a negative thread negatively impact a legitimate site. |

Any other affiliates want to chime in? |

Re: Poll on scum threads
It looks like it is up to me to decide. Time to go change a thread title.

Re: Poll on scum threads
An affiliate deciding how complain threads about affiliates should be entitled?
I would be extremely carefull here PA. As far as I can judge you are doing a very good job in this forum, much, much better than what the former moderators ever did and you always have the possibility to lock, delete or change a bad thread, but announcing that all complain threads now must go thru your own personal censorship is IMHO a big mistake. I just realised that I don't even know if you are an affiliate yourself or in any way connected to them (I assumed you were as this is a forum controlled and sponsored by them). Of course if you are not, I still feel it's shaggy to protect affiliates by censorship, but it would be more acceptable. |

Re: Poll on scum threads
you should be allowed to make a scum thread post if you have a decent number of posts under your belt (maybe 1000) .... but if a n00b or even a gimmick that doesnt have the guts to say who they are makes it, i think it should be deleted

Re: Poll on scum threads
how about if it is illegal to Name an affiliate or a player until the facts have been discussed.
in other words, it is ok to say xxx is a scum because of this and this and this...but don't name the scum until the details are ironed out and facts checked? |

I seriously think there should be a rule that all complaint threads must go through you first. [/ QUOTE ] Degen, this is silly... there shouldn't be any need for censorship of complaints... but subject lines in posts should not contain name-calling, like SCUM. |
