No one has complained about baiting. You never answer when I ask who you are referring to when you talk about the "playing favourites" bit. I've only ever commented that I didn't like how some posters posts get removed and others going through to the keeper at times. Nothing was ever said about baiting. I
1/ People have complained about the baiting. We have this little function called "report to moderator" it is via that function we get the complaints. Some use it constantly while others use it rarely. But there have been complaints. When people who in the past have never complained about anything suddenly raise their concerns about baiting, abuse etc then it's clear there is a problem that needs to be looked at.
2/ Yes the "the playing favourites" comment and the more harsh editing of and removal posts is a direct results of your complaint posted directly on the forum*** which you've repeated again above. Not sure how you can suggest that the inference isn't some posters are favoured over others. And FWIW when you first posted about this I answered you and made it clear that going forward what would be the outcome re baiting, abuse
If people are going to say ridiculous things I believe posters should have the right to remind them of that without the threat of suspension. Like seriously, toughen up a bit everyone
3/ to post the same comment in multiple threads to try and get response is baiting and trolling. The comment I highlighted has/had been posted on multiple threads over the last few days. Why? That is why I called it out.
4/ just because you don't agree with something that get posted, you don't need to belittle posters by referring to their posts as having said "ridiculous things". Don't agree then debate the comment, rather than resorting to snide comments
5/ as for the "toughen up a bit everyone" comment I'll let that one go through to the keeper.
Finally, back in 2015 we gave a very clear definition of what baiting and trolling and the decisionto keep in place the 3 strikes policy. Link below is where you can find it.
