Mod Reporting of a Post

[NUance]

I've noticed a couple of posters who like to bait the mods from time to time. Sometimes it's just rude—which I guess is tolerable. But other times it rises to the level of trolling. There are times when, if this behavior was directed towards another poster, I would take action (e.g., move the post to the Offending Post thread, give a warning, etc.). The problem is, if you're like me, you're reluctant to take measures against a poster when you are the one who is victim to the infraction.

There have been a couple of times when I've just let this sort of thing slide. But after giving it some thought, here's what I'm planning to do if that happens again: I'm going to use the report function to report the post[SIZE=12pt]—[/SIZE]just as any rank and file member would do. That way, whatever mod happens to handle the reported post will hopefully view it with impartial eyes. Don't get me wrong[SIZE=12pt]—[/SIZE]I would truly enjoy lowering the boom on some douchbag who is giving me grief. It's just that I might not exercise the best judgment in an unbiased manner when I'm seeing red. (But if it's a clearcut infraction, IMO, I will lower the boom without wasting anyone else's time.)

This isn't something that happens very often. I just wanted to let you folks know what I'm up to if I ever happen to report a post. That is all.

I think that's a great idea.

I think that's smart, often times if I've had a personal issue with a member, LOMS would be an example, I'll refrain from trying to handle stuff with him because he knows what I think of him. It's better to do it that way if you can.
