'War Stories'
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

fudge - I didn't save it, and the board ate the end of it.
At any rate...
Caroma - aside from all the political fights, that's not even why I want you warned.
I want you warned because you intentionally spoiled people in Natter, when you know it is a current season spoiler free zone, and because you insulted posters with cracks about their physical appearance, in a discussion about the ethics of arguing politics.
Shame on ya.

FTR, I didn't feel the political fighting merited an official warning either.

This is why I requested the action. Even if the post were factually accurate (which it isn't), there is no justification for the flaming contents of that post. Ever.
Cindy, thanks for the detailed report. It's educational to see it all laid out like that.
Just to throw in my (rather late) 2 cents:
I don't follow Natter - moves too damn fast for me. However, I caught up on this latest incident, and, as the guy who is ALWAYS against offical warnings & sanctions, etc, I have to say this:
She deserves it. Stomp her, stomp her hard.
Thank you stompies

Heh. I just came back to delete it, because for me, the big issue is really the spoilage and the flames. And also, because I probably lost about 1/3 of it, which was where I made points. Feh. I write too much. I'll let it stand though, and thanks, Nutty.
Thanks amych for performing the stompy duties. I can't imagine it feels very good wrt a Buffista who's been here a long time.

Not very good at all. But it seems like we got through it -- or through this stage of it, at any rate -- about as painlessly as possibile, which I think is a good sign for the system we've finally hammered out.
Amych, did we agree that posting the warning in Press was the procedure?
Just want to say thanks to the board and the admins for handling this situation with class and grace.
I thought it was, post in the thread where the incident occured, and email to the offending party.
But I'm just as happy to see it in Press, especially since Natter's back to normal.
