"So You Think You Can Mod?"--A Hype Reality Show!

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

How did Hypster A retaliate? I don't see it in there other than saying he pm's me about this as opposed to fighting with him (it says he does nothing publicly).

it says,

Hypester B then proceeds to completely rip Hypester A apart verbally, using full expletives in a textbook flaming session. Accusations are hurled that Hypester A is a hypocritical gay basher who actually commits homosexual acts himself "on the down low". Hypester B also insults him with sexually-explicit, vulgar comments accusing Hypester A's father of incest and molestation. Other users reading the interchange turn on Hypester B and begin defending Hypester A, a user who is generally well-liked despite his sometimes crass-but-subtle comments. A 2 page flame war results.

Yeah, other users defend him. It says nothing about Hypster A doing anything to Hypster B.

[Spider-Fan]

they verbally insult each other back and forth,

Hypester A--a user who has previously expressed his dislike for gays--does not reply publicly to any of Hypester B's insults. Instead, he sends you a PM asking for mediation in his behalf. His message to you reads:


The other posters are the ones in the flame war. It says he replies to none of the insults.

Scenario #3
For 600 Points

Disgusted and fueled by what he percieves to be ineptness and poor management on your part (as a mod), Hypester B--a known homosexual user--ambushes Hypester A in a public thread. He reveals to everyone that Hypester A has been harrassing him with pornographic PMs, but his demands for justice have been ignored by you (the mod). To prove his story legit, Hypester B actually posts the PMs and porn in SPOILER TAGS for other users to verify.

What do you do?

Now as a moderator you must realize that Hypester B has broken several Hype rules, posting pornography in the forums as well as posting what is possibly a private PM, unless it was forged. If it was forged I think that would also fall into the category of trolling in my opinion. My opinion is that Hypster B does not have a problem with Hypster A because of direct quotes or biggotry against him, but against his lifestyle in general. This has angered Hypester B to a level that has become irrational.

I believe at this point the thread should be locked/closed and erased if possible. Hypester B should be put on Probationary Ban for the time being and let it be known what he has done and what rules he has broken. Hypester A should also be aware that he should watch what he is saying in PMs as well as on the boards.

scenario 3 contradicts itself, a one point they have a two page flame with BOTH posters hurling insults at each other and in the next he apparently doesn't reply.

I think the flame war means the other users defending Hypster A and Hypster B, and that Hypster A stays out of it.

it doesn't say that, it says that both hypester A and hypester B have a slanging session?


am i blind or what?

Hypester A the homophobe

Scenario 1
Hypster A doesn't say anything directly to Hypster B, even though he hates gays and Hypster A is gay. He just seems to appear in the threads Hypster A posts in, makes but he makes no "direct" insult toward Hypester A specifically.

Scenario 2
Hypester A "claims" Hypster B is sending him pornographic material. However, there is no way to substantiate that claim AND pms as per SHH rules aren't admissable as evidence.

Scenario 3
Hypster B then proceeds to post everything Hypester A allegedly sent him including porn and then begins to berate Hypester A. Hypester A makes no reply in that thread. Hypster A sends the mod a pm complaining about the thread Hypster B created that berates him.

Now based on those 3 scenarios, while Hypster A is probably a troll, but he hasn't done anything to warrant a banning or even an "official" warning.

It never says Hypster A is in the flame war...it says a two page flame war ensues. At this point, Hypster A's actions had not been mentioned.

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

then i read it wrong and i suck..good bye.

 

[Erzengel]

LS said that Hypester A did not reply in that thread at all. His only response is to the moderator about the thread and Hypester B's actions.

I think telling Hypster A to think before he writes more so this doesn't happen again has no real harm in it.

You are on a roll Spider-Fan930. You are absolutely correct--the flame war involves 11 other users counter-attacking Hypester B. Hypester A is online, watching, but he has not replied to any of it publically.

I thought that was what it meant.

When you're hot you're hot I guess

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

I just got bummed , ive been on here all day, guess i'm tired.

 

[Erzengel]

I think telling Hypster A to think before he writes more so this doesn't happen again has no real harm in it.

Which is why I proposed an "informal" warning to Hypster A about SHH's trolling policies is a better course of action.

I thought that was just obviously stated.....although I don't see a specific number of other members before.....I forgot to mention that I would give a a general warning to everyone who posted in the thread since they participated in a flame war.....
