It's intentionally absurd in order to further illustrate how absurd the original post was. But as usual, that flew right over your head.clangfield wrote:Somewhat OTT...Serbia wrote:This is a fucking stupidly ignorant report brought by a user who should fucking know better, given that he's been on this goddamn site since 2007.

This was undeniably abuse, and this is the forum for abuse reports; the fact that it's tolerated abuse may not be known (if they've never had occasion to report before) or acceptable to all.
BTW swearing is not big, it's not clever, and this attention-seeking doesn't enhance the argument.

Now that the offending words have been removed, is this still abusive? Or are you really saying you object mostly to any derivative of the word "fuck"?Serbia wrote:This is a stupidly ignorant report brought by a user who should know better, given that he's been on this site since 2007.

I didn't classify your post as abusive - merely as being over-populated with swear words. Did it communicate any less feeling without them? I don't believe so. Personally I interpret the need to emphasise an argument with swear words as indicating a weakness in the underlying argument - a bit like shouting does - but that's probably just me.Serbia wrote:One more thing Clang, and anyone who has decision making authority here; what, in your mind, constitutes abuse? Is it simply the use of colorful language? "Swear" words? Read the following quote:

Given what we know about CC tolerating "swear" words, and given both this report, and the fact that the author of the OP has been here as long as he has, he should be given a warning for a nonsensical report. And maybe those of you offended by my unedited post can learn to look past the useless fill words used by some users such as myself.
Bollocks.
Actually, I would be inclined to let it go. It was a single comment, not a rant, and I don't jump at any chance to fight. I only do so when I feel I have to. And, even if I were to decide to respond, I would respond directly; I wouldn't go running to mummy and daddy (the mods) to tattle on the guy calling me a rude name. I work in construction, and hear this type of language all the time. If I got mad every time I got called a word, I'd be fighting nearly every day.clangfield wrote:Personally I class the game chat comment as abusive - if someone came up to you and called you that to your face, would you just let it pass as being colourful language?

I tend to agree with you, generally. But, I think that should be a "way of thinking about comments that are directed towards me" and absolutely not "a punishable offense." If you catch my drift? I would never drop unnecessary F-Bombs, or C-Bombs, or whatever against another person. I do tend to picture it like I was having a conversation with someone (like you do, apparently). But the idea that this can be used to report someone also seems fascist and ridiculous to me. Book burning is worse that being rude (and, yes, I realize that's an extreme comparison). But still, no need to punish somebody for hurt feelings, even if I would never express myself that way. This is not a problem, it's just rude. Caff does not come out looking like a "good guy" here, but, if that's the standard for reporting someone, that's absurd. The entire new york times "comments' section could be reported. Have the "swear word filter" on, if you are so easily offended.... the internet is full of rude people that say much meaner things without using the "F word." The "F word" doesn't make anything intrinsically worse than the statement itself.clangfield wrote:I didn't classify your post as abusive - merely as being over-populated with swear words.

Personally I class the game chat comment as abusive - if someone came up to you and called you that to your face, would you just let it pass as being colourful language? I wonder. It's not that it's swearing, but that it's directed at a fellow player.
Were I to moderate this, by the rules of the site, I would have to say FAMO, but I wouldn't class it as a spurious report.

seriously though, when used in this fashion, profanity has the grammatical function of an 'intensifier' (technical term) and is completely harmless to anyone who isn't an absolute cunting f*ck-faced bastard. grow some balls already. what a bunch of fuckin' losers

Just as well not everything is being emphasised then. I see little point in anyone commenting here any longer. The mods have done their job, let them carry on with other reports.clangfield wrote:If one emphasises everything, one emphasises nothing...khazalid wrote:'f-bomb'
