For the record, the second report has been denied. There will be no administrative action taken against Starslayer.

Re: Random Rant
I have never expected to be agreed with. I had only thought that I would have a right to express my opinion that it is good to be polite and treat others with the same dignity and respect you would like to be treated with. I should have known better.
I have no issues with starslayer at all and never have. I dont care if he agrees with me, I had only took offense to him bringing up a past issue that was totally unrelated to this thread and hijacking it. Hopefully he wont hurt himself when he comes down from his high horse.

Re: Random Rant
You're not treating starslayer with the dignity and respect that you're asking for, and as an independent third party, I'd say that you haven't exactly been polite.EVIL INC wrote:I have never expected to be agreed with.

Randomly reporting people for extremely minor "insults" is a good way to lose trading partners.
That's all I've got to say on the matter.
Always ship with delivery confirmation, I do the same.
Rating of less than 100 (or with no known traders)? You ship first (for trades and purchases), otherwise, we can ship simultaneously.
YOU must ship your package; not your wife, friend, lover, cousin, or dog. If you are not able to ship packages yourself, then please don't work out a deal with me.

Re: Random Rant
Actually, I have and always will treat him (and everyone else) with the utmost respect and dignity. That is shown in my posts where I have demonstrated it. The same thing with being polite, I have and always will be and that is shown in every single post I have made.
Thank you for your concern though. Do you have anything to add to the topic we are discussing? If not, that is ok, was just curious.

The first emboldened quote is directly opposite of what you did with the second emboldened one.
Passive aggressive is still aggressive.

That works for me. Here is hoping people either follow our advice to play nice or stop posting.

Users always have the option to use the "foe ignore" setting if, for example, they don't feel like reading a troll's attention-grabbing nonsense.

WTF??! Last I looked, rolling your eyes at people is a sign of disrespect. MM might be okay with it (or just ignoring it), but disrespect another staff member, and I will put you on a month-long site vacation.EVIL INC wrote:Actually, that would be good. Could you please close the thread?

Re: Random Rant
You may indeed feel that the use of a smiley in a post is disrespectfull. If using them are, I will gladly not do so. Especially in the case as the one you quoted where it does not refer to any staff members.
Thank you for the information on the topic. The one I was referring to originally has cleaned up their act it seems so no need to ignore them (unless of course they restart). Am deciding on whether or not to ignore the person who made insulting posts towards my wife because she had her spleen removed.

Again: reading for comprehension!
Additionally... Yes. Just ignore the person who you feel insulted your wife and be done with it. We don't want to hear about it.

Re: Random Rant
Re-read the post he quoted. If you use reading comprehension, you will see that is not in any way shape or form referring to any admin at all. That is so obvious that I am inclined to think that the misinterpretation was intentional. If if was not and he actually read it wrong, he is forgiven for the mistake.
I am still debating as to whether or not to ignore the one making personal insults against my wife here. Not sure if will work on someone with their status anyway. Does it only ignore regular members or does it also block out those with the colored names? Nm, I'll test it to see. No, it doesnt. I'll just have to keep seeing them.
