Board Game Arena

Hey, recently I was moderated. In order to re-enter BGA, I had to ‘agree’ not to do it again. I’m not exactly sure what not to do again. But that’s another story. (I was not penalized).

Moderation follows a comparison of green thumb to red thumb as part of their decision about a player.

So I’ve started giving green thumbs. Not to everyone— to people that are decent and can play the game decently (I’m not waiting forever for their every turn, etc). Even if they say nothing more than GL, HF OR GG.
In the personal note, I jot the game we played. If I didn’t like some aspect of how they played, I note that too.

This way I can spread green thumbs, hopefully helping out other decent BGA members who may be reported because we were silly enough to respond to an insult with a Really?

Thanks, good luck, have fun.

I'm not sure about the context here, but from my limited judgement of the moderation posts I've seen on the forums, even responding in a typical passive-aggressive? way to insults could possibly lead to some sort of moderation, so, when dealing with insults/aggressive behavior and the like, I recommend:

1) ignore it, don't respond and risk getting moderated.
2) report it.
3) give the player in question a private red-thumb.

That's it, no need to waste time dealing with such behavior, there are all kinds of people online.

Not to stray away from the main post, I agree that we should all spread green thumbs around
