This is important. It appears that Bo did not act on his own but was being provoked by another poster. What’s described here would be convern trolling, and the whole point is to try and make people angry.
If you don’t like rules lawyering, well, concern trolling is one of the ultimate forms. You try to piss people off while hiding it as “concern.”
While I can understand Bo’s comment being so out of line to deserve a warning, I do think you should look and see if there are reasons why. If you have a poster bring dismissive and imply there is something wrong with people (or thresdshitting), then you need to make sure you moderate them, too.
You know, cut off the problem at the source. Too many posters were the real cause of problems in threads for years, resulting in others being modded, when, once they were finally modded, the problems got better.
It’s why I approve so much of the new mods, actually. Y’all are on the ball with that.
Oh, and to @Snowboarder_Bo: the stuff you wanted to say here is why we have the Troll thread in the pit. I got tired of not being able to point out trollish behavoirs, too.
