Have we decided to forgo the rules in favor of hostility?

Has it now become acceptable to hijack threads (Guideline #6) with cases of unprovoked rudeness (Guideline #1) and disrespect of others (Guideline #3) with blatant insults or hostility (Guideline #4)? I thought the moderating staff were supposed to monitor the forums with the goal of threads on topic (Guideline #14). Are these Guidelines not in effect anymore? I understand the need for drama to keep the forums alive, but has it now become SOP to allow certain members to stalk (Guideline # 17) other member’s threads and posts in an attempt to either stir drama or derail a lady/ies business/es ?

Before someone get it in their head that I'm making this all about one or a few person/s, know that I'm not. This is supposed to be a place for ladies to advertise and market themselves. If it has now become the bastion of a few to attack any lady they deem unworthy or competition, then I think now is the time to say so and change the Guidelines to give new ladies the heads up on what to expect should they decide to join ECCIE and allow review here (Guideline #29).

This is the original post in Amy’s thread titled “Would I lose myself over a small detail?”

Friends tell me to go back to my natural hair color, dirty blonde/light brown with a touch of auburn. Would that affect who BA is.Take new pics, all reviews might be considered fake. I'm known for hair color as one of my main features, would it hurt my business? Originally Posted by bustyamy

Of the fifty-eight responses fifty-three were flirty fun and only four were negative. Those four responses are quoted below. They are all negative. They are all off topic. They are all hostile and meant to be blatant insults. They are all unprovoked and rude. And it’s obvious that Luxury Daphne follows BustyAmy’s posts around the board just to insult her which is cyberstalking. So, do we follow the rules or don’t we? And if we don’t, why not?

In the order of appearance:

Well she did go across the border and get surgery because wu called her a whale. So.. Yeah! Originally Posted by Luxury Daphne

This has nothing to do with the particular participants and everything to do with maintaining an environment where women can advertise and market and the men can further that marketing by writing reviews. THIS IS ABOUT CYBERBULLYING NOT THESE TWO INDIVIDUALS PERSONALLY.

Most of the consistent antagonists likely wouldn't dare talk the shit they do to people's face so they come here to vent, posture, or pretend they're some kind of better than thou badass. It's all a facade and they'd likely cower in the face of real drama. Online bullying is a safe haven for those who likely couldn't punch their way out of a brown paper bag. Lol I totally digress. Sorry.

So do you know if any of those supposed violations were punished or not?

There is a mechanism in place for reporting rules violations, it's via the RTM triangle at the bottom left of the post not via a coed discussion thread.

If you have a problem with the moderation, or in this case lack of it according to you, there is a mechanism in place for voicing those concerns as well.

I wonder what you hope to gain here...

Not a fan of OH at all but the deeper point of behavior hiding behind the keyboard is valid. The click that knows all compared to the unwashed masses eventually find no one around aside from themselves. R
