Moderators & Personal Attacks

[LuxuryItem]

Flame Of Life is a biased moderator who should be fired immediately. Here is a sample of his personal attack:

@Flame_of_Life

Graceful in defeat…aren’t we? But lets wait for the decision before we hit rock bottom.

Re: Moderators & Personal Attacks

Generally, a personal attack is committed when a person substitutes abusive remarks for evidence when examining another person’s claims or comments. It is considered a personal attack when a person starts referencing a supposed flaw or weakness in an individual’s personality, beliefs, lifestyle, convictions or principles, and use it as a debate tactic or as a means of avoiding discussion of the relevance or truthfulness of what the person said. …

There is no reference to anything beyond what you say in the post. If he said “by the way, you smell”, that would be a personal attack. A comment on your post is not a personal attack.

based on the above definition, I find the statement as personal attack in my opinion.

Re: Moderators & Personal Attacks

^ perhaps Im missing context here, what belief or convictions were referenced?

Re: Moderators & Personal Attacks

Ehsan,

It’s time that you acted to relieve this ‘flame of life’ from
his moderator duties. He has consistenly used his perch to personally
attack poster who disagree with his political leanings as well as
derailed threads.

Flame Of Life is intellecutally and emotionally unfit to be a moderator
as he continues to lower the standards of debate & discourse
in his theads. Please take action to maintain the high standsards
of Gupshup. Thanks.

Another sample of Flame Of Life’s personal attacks:

@Flame_of_Life

where does it not? pls stop snorting over the little advances that we have made in whatever field. Its easy to act like Simon Cowell ridiculing and rolling eyes over everything sitting in amreeka but a lot harder what these guys have to go through…lets just give credit where its due. I dont think it should hurt anyone’s ego.

@Fraudz

lets not get personal kiddo. you can make the same point in a civilized manner as well. Let me know if you can not. dont lower your standards of posts to your allies who have nothing better to do than to call names and get personal. does not suit you..

I am not snorting over anything. I actually agreed with you that laathi works, and that govt needs to have a better system.

regardless, lets go back to the point of top leadership accountability because that is what we are talking about.

Re: Moderators & Personal Attacks

not really new stuff. you quoted the same post in your earlier Flame of Life dedicated thread here:

http://www.paklinks.com/gs/showpost.php?p=5103661&postcount=10

This thread was discussed and subsequently locked. Why do you feel that if you quote the same post once again you will get a different reaction?

Re: Moderators & Personal Attacks

Flame Of Life has has attacked posters personally in the past and continues to do so. He has and continues to abuse his position as a moderator. It's time that GupShup administration held moderators to same standards of conduct as they do regular posters.

Re: Moderators & Personal Attacks

The only moderator worth in the PA section is Flame of Life :k: - all others are biased.. its due to him that I am still posting there..

Re: Moderators & Personal Attacks

Some moderators delete their personal attacks on members when everyone starts critisizing them (now will admin warn them on that action?), then, they do not take actions against flaming for weeks and suddenly, when user defends himself, only then, they realize about their so-called duty of warning... .. or perhaps their urge to revenge.... Kids!

**Amal **had said it right -

... loyalty, sincerity and dedication are valid only until they do not savour of criticism. ...] commendation is always welcome, condemnation never. ...] people with power cannot be wrong — in any case whatsoever!

Re: Moderators & Personal Attacks

From what I can gather, that we need experienced Moderators in PA forum.

With all thats going on in Pakistan with Lal Masjid and the aftermath, chief justice, etc...

Flame of Life with only 2,500 or so posts in Gupshup clearly did not have the proper experience to become a moderator.

I think he was promoted too early. He needs more experience.

At least someone with 10,000 posts...

just my 2 cents
