transfer inappopirate flamewars to private messages temporaily


Recommended Posts

sometimes people are discussing stuff and include some flaming and the mods remove the posts along with the discussion before it's too late. this results in unfinished discussion and the people discussing not knowing whether others have already replied to them or not. other people reading the discussions also miss out on some of the contexts.

This suggestion should be only for flaming that comes alongside actual discussions and not just pure flame wars. i suggest that when this happens, the mods transfer everyone to one big group PM and after it's all done the mods rephrase what everyone has said into a more polite version and add that conversation back to the topic. If the PM doesn't end after a long time then the mods can just do this every week.

Declined.

 

We do not encourage flaming, so why would we purposefully let you continue the flame in PM? You can always just create a PM yourself and include all the conversation participants, but there is no reason for moderators to spend extra time doing it for you when our priority is to stop flaming completely.

 

And a more technical issue is that if the user who creates the PM deletes it, the PM will get automatically locked. Moderators are definitely not willing to waste their PM storage space on someone's arguments and be constantly bombarded with PM notifications.
