As a forum owner would you tolerate your members telling other members to Go away or Get the f--k out or Get off the forum or Nobody wants you here. leave! or whatever else people say?
 
I don't own a forum but I would not tolerate this if I did.
 
I don't tolerate it at all. If I caught my members doing this, it would be an automatic warning and maybe even a permanent ban if it keeps up.

I would not allow members to do my moderating, disciplining, baby-sitting, warning or any other aspect of keeping control of my forum. I or my staff will handle that and members that try to do it for me won't like my reaction.



I agree. It should not depend on the situation no matter what happens. Backseat moderation is backseat moderation and nobody should have to do that on any forum.
 
No way! I would tell them not to say that and edit or delete the post!



There was a forum where someone did that to me, he said leave now all because I like the game called malice.
 
No I wouldn't. I'd delete the rude post and PM the person who said it.
 
No... If that member has such a problem with another and feels that upset over them, then maybe that's a sign they're the one who's the problem.
 
What if there is a guy spamming or trolling the place and I say go away. Do I have a problem?



I never really heard anyone do this unless they were spamming crap all over the board or simply trolling the community then you wouldn't exactly expect anyone to want that type of person around for long.

Yeah.. They are usually trolls.. Telling everyone to go away and nobody likes them while in reality the he/she should be the one who goes away and nobody likes him/her.

No sir. I would never allow anything like this. I know it happens at one forum. And none of the admins do anything about it. Heck two of the members there are always running off new people.
 
The only way my members would say stuff like this is if someone was trolling or spamming. My members have alot of respect for one another and I've never encounted one of them doing this.

How are they doing that?
 
no i dont allow this, depending on how severe it can range from a delete of the post and a pm to a time out
 
I disallow any sort of flaming/trolling at my site. I explain to the member We have Moderators and Admins that can handle the problem, and then i delete their problem post.
 
Eh, the only time I might let that slide is if the member is just there to antagonize everyone. He or she serves no purpose other than to disrupt the forum so I would rather them say go away than cuss the member out.
 
I don't think it'll ever happen in my forum, but if it did happen I would've banned the member.
 
*cocks shotgun* If a member of mine does that, they will end up in the Todesgefängnis section of my forum.
 
Nope. They would be banned for bullying. Luckily, I have a good crew. Everyone knows one another and is kind so the chances of that happening are slim but if it ever did no way.
