Why? They don’t respect each other. Why make them pretend that they do?
@anon59375068 You are welcome to discuss the merits of moderators asking people to be more respectful to each other here in the About Moderation thread, but keep it out of other threads. I will not be joining you in this discussion, as my opinion is obvious.

The Head Street Judge will not be taking questions, but what the hell is the point in trying to moderate RM and WDM in the Blockchain Unchained thread? What’s the point in trying to get them to pretend that they respect each other at all. Just let them fight, who the hell cares? Certainly not them. What are you trying to accomplish by intervening?

It’s a simple warning, why do you care?

The answer to your question is contained in the post itself.
I don’t see it. Feel free to enlighten me or highlight it.
Read it again more carefully.

They don’t have to pretend that they respect each other, they just have to find a way to convey disrespect while maintaining decorum.
I understand that will be the effect of this style of moderation, I just don’t understand how it could conceivably accomplish something positive or worthwhile. Perhaps I need to take into account the enjoyment the moderators derive from the act of moderating.

Seems like he’s trying to make clear that his desire for less drama on the forum is not biased towards certain people.

Some people will enjoy reading the forum more if decorum is observed. The question is whether we should care about what they want.
lol more people will enjoy reading the crypto thread if we can’t see RM telling crypto people to fuck off? That is absolutely false, that’s what that crypto thread is for!
People would enjoy it more if he could tell people to fuck off without being one-note and repetitive.
The stink of the insult will find it’s way to your nose no matter how much perfume is poured on it. Decorum is a delay to the drama, not an answer to it

Some semblance of decorum may at least makes people try to be wittier in their insults rather than letting them grab at low-hanging fruit. Throttling drama can also make it more bearable if it comes at a more reasonable pace.

Unless I missed something, the Crapto thread hasn’t been sanctioned as an unchained area of the forum. So, letting anything go there just opens up the mods to “How can you silence this guy while RM calls people assholes??!!”
(Not that I think anyone in AM is on the lookout for hypocrisy).

Marksman: “About Moderation is ALWAYS popping and has been the busiest thread for a while now.”
