Feel free to insult me or whoever you want

Also, thank you for proving my point that this site is not professional in the least. You really expect me to believe people pay you 1400 dollars for this? Also, please tell me which administrator condones you insulting people over the internet AKA trolling?

Thanks for proving my point that the issue here is you have a problem with me not vice versa. You seem to be kinda obsessed creating all these threads about me escpecially after you just said you had enough threads in Meta. I suggest you take your own advice and be the bigger man and put me on ignore (and actually do it this time) and just get on with your business and neither of us has to communicate with each other again (as long as you put threads in the correct sub). I'm really not sure what you're even still doing here since you find this forum so unusable and toxic but yet are still trying to provoke reactions from people you don't even want to interact with so that's more like trolling to me. I suggest you get on with your business and I'll get on with mine.

I have placed you on ignore, but because the ignore feature is not proper, I can still see when you post in my threads.

If you have a problem with me, you shouldn't be clicking on mine as well.

Read my first sentance above again. I don't have a problem, but you seem to turn me moving a thread that was in the wrong section and reported as such into me trolling you or abusing my power. It's not. You think it is because you have an issue with me. Lock this thread, ignore my posts (properly and even if you see them when they're quoted) and you shouldn't have to interact with me ever again unless you involve me. Even if I said something directly to you you could just ignore it.

I can make sure that when my forum comes out, insulting people will definitely not be allowed. There's a difference between constructive criticism and insulting people. One of which is professional feedback while the other is childishly throwing cheap shots to belittle another human being.

If you have a problem with me, you shouldn't be clicking on mine as well. I stay away from your posts consistently. It is you who seeks issues with me.

Plus, insults should be seen as trolling because you're saying something that's purposely offensive in order to provoke an angry or offended reaction, which would be the definition of trolling according to Google if I am not mistaken. Whether or not you find insults okay, insulting people over the internet is genuinely unprofessional, proving that the staff does not understand what a professional forum looks like.

Please read the stickied rules before posting next time:

3. No trolling.

Quote

Q: Do you moderate/delete (possible) FUD, accusations and untrue information?
A: No. We don't have enough time to check every single piece of information and verify the validity of the sources. Also, just like scams - too much room for bias and abuse.

However, trolling isn't allowed. If a user is habitually posting obviously false nonsense just to stir up trouble, then it's considered trolling, which is prohibited. Such cases should be thoroughly documented in the report though (There are tons of reports that just say "trolling", but moderators don't have time to look through each user's post).

Q: Someone insulted me. Why aren't you deleting his post/thread?
A: Possible (since we don't have the time or resources to check) insults are also allowed as long as they contain any kind of constructive opinion, info or something else substantial and aren't off-topic. For example, posting something like "you are dumb" will be deleted as it contains no meaningful content. However, if the post is somehwere along the lines of "You are dumb. This is wrong because this website/thread/etc. has explained it's not right", it's in most cases accepted.

Greek, I don't exactly agree with you about the moderators but I haven't had much interaction with them in the time I've been here. I do think that this forum is like the Wild West, anything can happen.it's good and bad, in unequal parts. I wish you luck in the new forum. I do think it's a good idea.
