There was a thread a while back that mentioned a block feature that could be used for the original thread poster to block members who troll their threads from participating on the thread in question. That makes perfect sence to me because it would virtually eliminate harassment and unwanted additions from a thread going in the intended direction. Unfortunately its not possible with the current operating system.
Its true that there are members that get out of hand from time to time but just like people have been saying, grow some rhino skin. If you are not giving sound advice you will be found, and im glad it happens. When i have a problem or question i search the archives for intellegent answers. Without occational flaming, advice from members like bmeat would just have to be accepted and those type of members would never learn to keep their mouths shut. Flaming also causes those members to get their ducks in a row before spouting off in the future. Even bmeat has been making more sence as of late and i believe it is due to the flaming hes been getting forcing him to educate himself because he wants to be here. That kids got some thick skin and the whiny bitches can take a page out of his book and suck it up. If you dont like being flamed, try harder or GTFO.
I think the original poster said somthing of trying to get a job as a moderator. I think that your chances are pretty slim if you think that RIU should be sunshine and lollipops. What we do hasnt always been as accepted as it is these days. Our craft has been taught by some pretty bad ass mother fuckers with diesel running through their veins and hearts as black as coal. Its a sad truth but truth none the less, deal with it. Racers right when he added that theres lots of trolling, angry, insulting members that are part of the community. Thats life, thats our community, to ban someone that has so much knowledge to give, over a couple of insults seems pointless to me also. Thats probably why you didnt get the mod job, acting like a princess. By the sounds of things you cant let things go and if thats how you roll then youd be banning people all the time and that would make you a bad mod.
Every action has a reaction and if you piss someone off they may bite back, or not, thats the chance you take playing this game. Theres not always a mod around when you need one. They dont get paid, this is a reality that costs a couple people daily some hurt feelings. Theres enough threads that if someone calls you a name or says fuck you one too many times you can just change the channel. Dont blame the mods because of your inability to turn your computer off
