Considering the utterly abusive way in which several members of this thread have been treating each other, the zero tolerance for flaming policy is now well and truly dead.

EDIT: This could have been a fascinating discussion about WiH Part 1's narrative choices and why they were made. Oddly enough, only Zacam seemed to even grasp that question was asked.

Given that those users were given SMF warnings for their behaviour, you're wrong.

We need some form of publicity, then, because absent a marking of it, it looks like absolutely nothing has been done in this thread or in regards to anything.

Yes, the point of these punishments is surely to deter others, leaving the abuse up and not publicising that the warnings have been made does nothing towards that.  In my view the most negative characteristic about this forum is the tendency of some members to jump on a comment they don't agree with and try to prove that the commenter is wrong, rather than simply ignoring it.  It creates bad blood between members and adds a degree of seriousness which discourages people from expressing opinions unless they have a mountain of evidence to back it up.

I wasn't aware at the time that SMF warnings weren't public. I see a big green sign under their name after all.

User was warned for this post.

(edit it in), for all to laugh at.

The only green I see on a thread page is if someone's online or if I'm seeing Zacam's Mantis link on his sig.

Rational Skepticism had a good way of doing so, with a nice graphic exclamation point from a mod, the offensive quote and a public remark by the moderator. It looked nice and was useful for all of us to see that bad manners didn't go unremarked .

its a mod-only thing. project heads can see it as well, but not the general public.

[Fury]

It can be made visible to everyone if admins so choose to do. It's not visible to project heads unless they are also moderators, which they usually are.

[X3N0-Life-Form]

That sounds strangely familiar ... hasn't this been discussed several times before ?

[Qent]

Not to this extent... I didn't even know there were warnings.
