How to deal with complaints

A typical complaint -

GARDEN KNOWM called me a dueche bag, can you ban him



The mods get complaints like this 1-5 times a day. How do you think this should be dealt with.

There is a lot of name calling in the boards... and a lot of slamming.

Sometimes it is overt, other times it is BACK HANDED or on the SLY.

"YOU're a fook face"
"When I was your age, I was not so smart too"
"Can you read?"

It is your forum, we just moderate it and bang your girlfriends when your at work.. so please feel free to make suggestions..

BTW - if this thread starts to get rud... I will erase the posts... I wanna try and learn something from you guyz... without the wise guy crew from the politics forum coming in here and breaking chairs and shit.

yeah. I appreciate you taking care of my wife. your mom has been wearing me out these days.

I think the best way to deal with complaints is to ban the complainer at the immediate start of complaining...Seriously, people need to stop being so damn sensitive. How can you get offended by something someone says over the internet? I think 90% of what is said is in a joking manner, anyways...And this is a damn weed site do we have to be politically correct here of all places? I say fuck that and fuck them too, Just ban them for complaining.LoL-but I'm really serious

i mean honestly

at this forum where i mod/admin....we have separate login names, from personal and business matters. (i.e. your regular name & staff1 staff2 etc etc)

there is always a time where folks talk shit to the ones that are in power, mainly because they know they have mod power and can talk shit. and if they get banned or whatever they talk shit like its personal or whatever whatever and forums should be about free speech... which is should be. and to remedy that we came up with that solution....



secondly....stop being so sensitive...we all know riu has a bunch of know it all assholes... which there really shouldnt be a need for ANY arrogance, cockiness, being mean, asshole, WHATEVER....because you know why? we supposed to be in this together. I mean i dont know about yall...but i dont talk about my hobby to anybody around me. so this is like my outlet...im still new here, but yall something like family for the simple fact....we all here for the same thing.... we should just cut all the bullshit. roll up a spliff and put that shit in the air....


as far as legitimate claims, i say not to ban them until they've been informed/warned 3 times on DIFFERENT occasions.

if they refuse to comply....ban they ass....im on admin team for a big public forum(rather not say) and that what we do

I don't see anything wrong with the name calling. There is a certain line that can be crossed though. When it starts to become an issue of sex, race, or religion then it's uncalled for and should not be tolerated. Only because it would not be tolerated on the streets. You insult me or some one close to me on the color of my skin or the religion I practice face to face then we got a serious problem. A problem that would be taken care of. The only thing is you can't bitch slap some one through the computer. So I guess it's up to the moderators to moderate. But if some one calls me a pussy cuz I used cfl's I'm man enough to brush it off. There's always gonna be ball busting between men and if you cant brush it off than maybe your not mature enough to be on this site. GK I'm sure most of the people writing to you to ban people are underage. Maybe this site should have an 18 or older disclaimer. Just a thought.

Dude I am definitely telling on you.

its all pretty benign. its a bunch of ones and zeros tied together by someone....we all have our opinions including whehter or not a post is respectful or not, and we have the option of talking into it or not or ignoring it or not.....I think the mods are doing what they need to be doing. Complaining to the mod.....? bringing infractions of post etiquette and policy maybe....but complaining prolly doesn't really have a place....its all relative until it falls outside the posting rules/policies. in most cases....walk on!

dude that chick has the best thighs ever. Every time I see your avatar I get cited.

here's a suggestion:

whenever you get a snitchy pm, post it in a complaint/bitch thread in feedback for all to see. that's where people NEED to complain anyway, rather than taking up all the mods' time. not many stop to think that it takes time to go through threads on a daily basis in order to moderate, and constant pm's keep the mods from being able to do that. they complain about mods not doing their job, and these are the same ones that are causing them not to have the time (or patience, in a lot of cases) to do all the rest.

there's a saying (no offense ): "arguing over the internet is like running in the special olympics; even if you win, you're still a retard."

I like that idea! Maybe ppl would be too embarrassed to send you guys bitchy PMs if they thought it might make the Bitch Thread lol. That would be so funny and yet so effective at the same time

a biatch thread would be good......

I love the idea too. Do it! See what them little bitches have to say behind your back. Once a month post a thread with all the little snithches complaining. Then we can all have a vote on which one of the little whiners gets crucified and kicked off the site for lack of integrity.

lol!!!

how's that for an honor system?

oh yeah; the complaint/bitch thread would absolutely HAVE to be a sticky...

yea for sure....like the UFC cage....go for gents!

LMAO...Yes, now this is how you deal with complaints haha...If rollitup had a forum like this it would go down in history as the greatest website in the history of the internet. This has to be done
Oh yeah and I read in another thread somebody had the idea for a bitchslapping forum, for people who have beef to go argue without disturbing the other forums. I like this idea too. It could be a sub-forum.
