    Seriously, what is up with all the unattended flaming in the Head Shotz thread? I've been warned twice for flamings that were slighter than a lot of the posts there lately, and now they're not even being deleted. Sure, it's Off-topic, but I thought the main Off-topic section was supposed to be moderated the same as the rest of the board when it comes to flaming.

    Just keep it clean, come on.

    eventually we'll get to it but moderating and cleaning threads outside of OT (like SOYP) is much more important to us. so for now, we only ask for ppl to caese their flaming when we can.

    I don't want anyone to get warned, I just want the posts to get deleted so we can have a somewhat clean thread at least. I'm not telling on anyone, the mods know about the flaming and choose not to do anything about it, that's what I'm complaining about really. I was told off for reporting an in my opinion clearly offensive post. How bad isn't that? Deleting a handful of posts just takes a couple of minutes.

    I've never seen any flaming or posts that require instant moderation in SOYP. Is it cause you watch it much stricter, or cause there barely is any flaming there? Hmm?

    uhh we did do something about it, which was to informally ask ppl to stop flaming.

    but if u want to clean the head shot thread, might as well do the same thing as with SOYP, which is to only leave pictures of members, in which case it takes as much effort as cleaning soyp, if you're just gonna clean up a few posts its not gonna do much, we will do it (and I think someone did clean it up recently), it's just not gonna be "instantaneous" cuz we're busy moderating sections of the forum that actually matter.

    you can keep reporting posts in OT if you want; but dont expect immediate actions cuz its low priority.

    Posts in SOYP weren't flaming, they were just spammy and often made to increase post count. In Head Shotz, there are a few offensive posts (including one I posted just to draw attention to the fact, but no one reacted). Since post count doesn't increase, it doesn't matter if there are some spammy posts, so a clean-up like in SOYP would be useless. Deleting the flame wouldn't though.

    How can 15 members with moderating abilities (yeah I know, only 6? 7? of those are active, but still) be too busy to delete those few posts in Head Shotz? It would probably take as much time as it took me to write this post.

    But yeah, looks like the worst shit got deleted already.

    Thanks however that did it smile.gif
