| Nov 1, 2013 at 19:20 | comment | added | Chris S Mod | People don't get notified when we remove or edit their comments (I occasionally "lighten" the language of comments). If their comments are particularly colorful, they'll get a love letter in their e-mail. | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 19:14 | comment | added | EEAA | @TheCleaner - that's a great question. I'm not sure. | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 19:12 | comment | added | TheCleaner | Understand. I don't know...does the OP get a notice from a moderator if they get flagged and the moderator removes their post? Something like a "settle down turbo...be nice" or similar? BTW, I never look at serverfault.com/tools?tab=flags&daterange=today or any other of the tools menu...should we as 10k+ members be doing so? | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 19:08 | comment | added | EEAA | @TheCleaner - Not sure it's productive to hash out things like that in the original comment thread. I'd prefer to flag it, come here to discuss (if necessary), and let the moderators and SE staff do their job in dealing with any users that cause repeat problems. | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 19:05 | comment | added | TheCleaner | I think one way you help hold high-rep users accountable is doing what you did @EEAA here in meta.SF. Not that TomTom ever comes to meta it would seem, but maybe he read this "thread" and will think twice next. Maybe the right step is to flag it and then comment and call the user out on their post? | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 18:04 | comment | added | voretaq7 Mod | I definitely agree about holding high-rep users to a higher standard of civility - we generally tolerate a level of snark / non-constructive commentary from anyone on the site regardless of reputation, but when it's beyond good-natured teasing ("Just shoot the NT4 domain controller. Problem solved.") into rudeness and abuse it's not acceptable from anyone, and certainly worse coming from the users who are supposed to be setting the example... | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 17:54 | comment | added | EEAA | I don't know that this "higher standard" would need to be codified in any way (though maybe that's the only way it would work). Rather, just that all of the high-rep users (myself very much included) need to be extra mindful about how we communicate on the site. | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 17:50 | comment | added | Chris S Mod | I could get behind that, but it's got to be the community's decision, or Stack Exchange would have to trump. | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 17:48 | comment | added | EEAA | Thanks Chris. My personal feeling is that high-rep users really ought to be held to a higher standard than the rest of the user base. High-rep users' answers and comments hold a certain amount of "weight" , and because of this, can strongly influence user perception of the site, both positively and negatively. | |
