You can call any of my favourite players sh!t and I still wouldn't delete it.
Nuh UH! He didn't call him 'sh*t', he called him
a sh*t.
You seem to be continually misinterpreting this on a possibly deliberate basis?
QUOTE
I think you're building your bias argument because this directly relates to Allegri who everyone knows how I feel about him. So you think that for me it's ok and I even enjoy it when he's called names.
Maybe you do, I don't care. But I do feel the issue wouldn't have arisen related to anyone else?
QUOTE
But in reality I'm not going to go around deleting and giving a warning to everyone who says player X or player Y is sh!t because I could be here until next year (get it

)
See above.
There is a difference between calling someone sh*t and 'a' sh*t. And the latter is what these names mean. If you give a nickname to player:
For example I call, for the sake of the argument, Pirlo 'C*nto'. I am not calling his ability c*ntish, I am calling him a 'c*nt'. Simple as that.
And that is exactly what these nicknames are doing.
And you know it.

We're all reading plain text here. I can't interpret everyone's posts and read between the lines of what people are trying to say. And it sort of irks me that you would expect that of me. I read your post calling another person an idiot and felt that it shouldn't be left there, just like I felt that retard and single brain cell or whatever kurt said shouldn't stay there either.
Han, you have the power. Unfortunately it
is your job to grasp intention behind the comment - that's why you're a mod. Mods and admins have to make intelligent judgements on posts because moderation is supposed to be fair. Usually mods and admin get promoted because they are able to have balance and not be blinded by personal prejudice; and are subsequently able to figure what the intention behind a post is. Now, this isn't expecting you to be psychic - but if someone who NEVER namecalls suddenly does so, it doesn't take rocket science to figure something may be amiss.
QUOTE
Also, saying that someone's comment was idiotic and calling someone an idiot are completely different things. Sometimes I see idiotic posts all around the board, me being guilty of posting some myself, but I never call anyone an idiot. I debate that comment, and maybe that debate also gets heated but I never cross that line of directly insulting someone. I hope I'm explaining myself well here.
Yes, very - the problem is you're being hypocritical - you see the difference between the two there but seem to think insults to people (whoever they are) are different. You're spot on in one context and miles off in the other.

As for the rules. No, I can't just go in there and have at it. First of all there needs to be someone who will amend all of them, make them more clear, etc. They need to be agreed upon by all the mods, and most importantly mike has to be to one to approve of them and post them himself. It can't just be my or someone else, hence the problem
Why not? You say it's Mike this and that, but I have to say he doesn't run the forum. He owns it, and is a good guy, but he doesn't run it. If you have the technical ability I doubt he'd 'fire' you for making amendments which the forum as a whole agreed on.
Do you have the technical privilege to edit the rules? Yes or no?
