Perhaps you should fire up the cub reporter thread again to discourage frivolous reports. There seems to be a lot of them lately.
What about frivolous infractions?Tell you what, I'll make a cub reporter thread, of course not copying your theme. It will discourage frivolous reports and encourage valid ones.
There are no frivolous infractions, only frivolous people and frivolous actions.What about frivolous infractions?
Persons should ignore bad behavior and report behaviors that are egregious, including blatant heresy and blasphemy.

Oh puleeze! Way too many "unnecessarily disruptive" and far too many "intentional blasphemy" infractions. And ... you can't even call the opinion of a mod retarded without getting slapped for disrespect!There are no frivolous infractions, only frivolous people and frivolous actions.
Except for this one time...but that's another story. :angel:

now that is a retarded post. When a mod posts opinion it should be just like any other member posting an opinion. Criticizing it is not disrespecting the mod in his/her capacity as a mod.It IS disrespectful. What part of that do you not understand? Oh that's right ... you believe your lifetime membership is a green light for ignoring the rules.

I hate it when I see people constantly reporting policy violations for petty little things. Granted, there are legitimate reasons for banning someone (death threats, blatant profanity), but I would like to see more restraint on reporting policy violations, especially from those who seem to overuse it (I won't name any names).
Therefore I am starting a petition and encouraging other TOL'ers to use the utmost restraint when it comes to the woodshed.
Here's the petition, sign it if you agree with it and stick by your word.
I agree that an internet forum is for open debate and therefore will not report anyone for petty things.

I just love this place!!!!!Of course. Who needs discipline anyway?
So I agree that there is no need for many of the rules on this forum: petty things arise from petty rules; and we should petition Knight to delete most of them. We should really rely on the goodwill of everyone and after all we are pretty much a great bunch here. And besides all the really petty complaints are directed at aCW, not anyone else, so the only really unhappy person in the forum would become happy again and that would make the whole forum happy.
In fact, how about we petition him to make you the new owner of the forum and everything would be even better!
Anyone?
No, didn't think so.

I don't need no stinking 'personal commitment in front of other TOL'ers' to not report petty stuff.the sole purpose of this thread is for people to make a personal commitment in front of other TOL'ers not to use the woodshed for petty (usually personal) reasons.
