Then you would probably get banned as well.
See I am gonna try real hard not to talk about the this thread in specific but give a general situation.
Someone comes into a thread I started we'll call it "woot Ima great"
said person disparages me in front of the whole forum. I will tell them to knock it off please.
Now, here is where it gets interesting:
the person doesn't stop and continues to mock me..
I can A. Bite my tongue tell the mods and get the jackass banned
or B. Fight back cause Im "defending myself" and flame them.
Most mods on all MB I have ever been a part of or modded myself will in the case of B ban both parties. At this point everyone is flaming and breaking the rules no?
Also I think in the rules it says we are not supposed to question the mod's decisions publically, but I love watching social justice in action, so by all means start a petition.
