Report it then.

You can't fall back on that alone, your posts actually need to reflect it. Luckily you have moderators who are capable of discerning humour for you in those confusing ambiguous cases.

Those jokes dont cross the line for me either when they arent malicious bs disguised as jokes. And i PMed a mod one time about a situation i found concerning and got told it was no big deal so theres not much incentive to reach out to mods. Id rather call people out in threads where i see a problem as ive done in the past. At least putting them on blast publicly creates discussion about bad behavior versus your behind the scenes “warnings” that seemingly do nothing.

@Fluff Ja I remember you reporting digital blackface etc.

Report what you feel crosses the line. Mods won't always agree that it's a banworthy or infraction worthy offense, but it's a much better tactic for maintaining consistent modding than this hindsight whataboutism.

Good talk.

Dear critics,

it's really damn hard to be consistent with modding here. I don't think anybody wants to have totally fascist modding here, where nothing in any way controversial can be said.
Drawing the line is hard and of course personal bias comes into play, just as it comes into play, when you are criticising our decisions. Please also consider, that there is lots of stuff happening on MB that we don't see and lots of stuff that you don't see.

Just to be clear some of my post reports have been jokes, but I've reported spamming and bullying when that crossed a line also.

I was told off for the joke reports so I've not done it since.

Obviously but there is also a history of certain members getting more freedom than others to cross the line for whatever reason and i think you guys need to stop being so leinent with these cases. I dont expect any of you to be completely unbias or perfect and catch every instance of ****ey but the popularity contest **** needs to be toned down. And this is not just about OH.

I was behind Tore when he fought to make this a nicer place to visit and i was behind the personal attacks being more aggresively modded when Lucem expressed his concern but that only ever lasts for a couple weeks before its back to business as usual.

I don't remember seeing this but imo it does cross the line, regardless of it being a joke or not.

I feel like this was me and I don't remember what it was about.

I’d like to report a certain poster who don’t know about music.
