Complaints against users should be moderated first

[James]

But do that really need to be ? If it is a real user they will respond to defend them self's . bot that can notify you when your nick is mentioned in a post would be nice . Option on/off would be cool as well .

Is there a IRC server and channel that we can all use to sling shot ideas around ?

What's wrong with Google hangouts?

Not totally surprising if you know me, but I am somehow missing the point here.

Has someone wronged you on the forum?

IMHO, there are some basic options available before getting a mod involved as they have better stuff to do.

If it is some kind of sour grapes thing or someone that disagrees with your opinion on this, that or the other, just ignore them and don't dignify their actions with an action of your own. If they are out of line, other members just may make it clear as no one likes a jerk.

If they get personal, you have a couple of options.

A: Gather your facts as to how to respond to the individual in question and address the issue. Forget the bringing a knife to a gunfight mentality, bring a freaking mini-gun.

B: Ask a moderator to moderate.

C: My personal favorite, like I said earlier just ignore them and most likely they will go away.

Sorry for being dense.

A perpetual problem of mine

One of the things I like a about this place is that it is not over moderated and anyone and everyone is entitled to state their opinion.

And to date, I have never seen any really negative activity where someone started a flame war with another member.

Except for BrianJ a verified Asshat from another forum who thought it was a really great idea to join up just to blast our host Vapor Joe.

Since as near as I can tell, VJ owns this place and he could have easily booted the dude out, banned the ISP and deleted all the nasty (but really unimaginative) things that the Dorfus in question was saying about him.

But he took the high road anyway.

Which kind of sets the tone for this place.

Still made more sense than OP.

I agree every situation is different and many times what appears to be a problem could have arisen from something 60 posts back its not easy being a Moderator and this is VU "We are all adults" is something starts the blame game put them in their place but do it with tact. ôô
