Bashing VS Honesty VS Honesty With Bashing, Forumdickery! Options

[superstitious]

I know that there was a similar topic to this once upon a time, but I figured it's been a while and wanted some fresh opinions.

In your opinion(s):

What do you consider "bashing"?:

What do you consider not bashing, just brutally honest?:

When, in your opinion, should a moderator punish for bashing?

Have you had your Wheaties today?

Honestly, the mods should be more concerned about how to make CB a better site. The mods should be posting and leading by example. Instead of just posting, mods should be trying their best to create threads that inspire creativity and activities. There are a lot of mods that obviously don't have leadership skills. Some don't even have decent thought processing skills.

That being said, I don't understand why a mod would warn someone for calling another member a "twat" instead of trying to contribute to CB in a positive way.

This is a community, mods. It's not just a forum for you guys to regulate.

BTW, thanks for the group change.

Oh definitely. But it works both ways, to an extent. Mods should set an example (like JC, who is constantly trying to stimulate cB), but people should also understand that it isn't always necessary to resort to insulting, when being rational and composed shows a lot more intelligence and integrity. That's just my opinion though. I posted this thread to get your (general "you" your) opinion though.

I think that perhaps if there is any question of whether not someone is "bashing", ask what's going on? Maybe people fun around together roughly? I don't know. Just throwing something out there. I don't think that anyone wants a PM every time a mod thinks they might be bashing though. :x

I think that in general, staff (again, in general) does not feel that this place exists as a means for ego stroking. I could be wrong, I just don't get that impression.

@JC, it was in feedback somewhere. :)

@Steven, yes, you are :)
