What the moderators could do better? Looking for so called „Two-Faces“ in this community and speak a VERY serious word with them. Those guys always use the same concept and are easy to find ... Step 1: First they behave provocative and try to make rules for others. Often it comes to a dispute including verbal abuse. Step 2: unexpected reconciliation and effusive praise for the previously attacked person ... Step 3: Another unexpected attack. and so on ... it is always the same procedure. And it is some kind of „repeating circle-concept“. The climax happens when those people are calling it comedy [b]on costs of others[/b]. Please take actions on those few people. THAT is what will work!
I understand the concretion of your concerns but I thinks it works as good as clear and straight it is. If the Administration sets up and really enforce their "rules" no one else has any occasion to do so..
So the major point in my humble opinion would be what you call abuse and that beginns, as soon someone turns off from the discussed topic and shows concrete personal directed hostile insultiung and debasing behavior.
Thats easier to set up and still enough work to enforce for Dietz.
