How can we persuade the SW admin to forbid members to be rude to each other?

They don't seem to do much about it when we report trolls for being abusive. What else are we supposed to do?

Lol..... people are allowed to be rude to each other. Just as we have the option to block them.

@Glambarber It’s the sort of site made up of people from the real world who are sometimes rude to each other, not a police state. You have the block option if you’re too delicate to handle that.

@Glambarber There’s nothing wrong with that and most people are very nice to each other. You just can’t expect Admin to police it.

@Glambarber 1) It’s not a crime to be rude. 2) They’d be doing it all day long rather than working on much needed modifications to the site. 3) I’m not a child, I can handle my own business. I don’t need mommy and daddy doing it for me.

@Glambarber Lol..... Are you new to the internet? You don’t seem to have a very realistic view of how things work.

@Glambarber It has to do with being able to handle one’s own business without the help of some authority figure. Like mature adults are able to do. Which includes using the block button if you don’t like someone’s behavior.

@Glambarber Others also have a functioning block button.

@Glambarber No, you’re the one who doesn’t get it. This is the internet, not the utopia where you apparently live. And these trolls you’re so concerned about rarely last here for more than a few days if grown ups act like grown ups and use their block buttons or even better, act like super real grown ups and ignore them instead of crying to mommy and daddy every time someone is mean to them.

@Glambarber You’re not from Manchester by any chance? 🤔

@Glambarber Lol..... I bet you are. Whole city is filled with people who have your verbiage.

@Glambarber I'm confused. Are you suggesting that there aren't rude people in your community? You are forced to deal with rude people that you are incapable of ignoring?

@Glambarber Let's think about this. Are police enforcing this behavior? Or do people behave that way because it gets them nowhere?

The reason trolls and rude behavior persists on the Internet is because people react... giving them exactly what they want.

Ignore them. They'll go away.

You needn't toughen up. Seriously. Ignore them. Else you give them all the power they want.

It's not hard. Give it a shot.

Trolls don’t feed each other. They know better.

Trolls know there’s no joy in trolling other trolls.

Are you actually listening to what I’m saying here?

Your inability and unwillingness to ignore them is exactly what they want.

@Glambarber
@JoeyFoxx Maybe she's tried ignoring, and it hasn't worked? Have you thought of that? You should probably think about someone else besides yourself 🤷‍♀️. You seem to have a huge problem with that.
JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M
Ignoring always works.

Ignoring takes no effort.

I’m done here. Some stones aren’t worth moving.

@latinbutterfly
@JoeyFoxx Yeah, some people are very stubborn and hard headed, and think that their method is the only one that works. Keep it up, you're doing a really great job at it 👍.
