The Forum Police (by tractorjohn)

I've seen a few threads get out of hand where people curse & call eacother names. Then one of them says Who are the forum police? Well I believe we all should report people who breaks the rules. We are not the police but let's suppose you are at home & you see somebody break into a neighbor's house, do you call the police or just let it happen thinking oh well it's not my house. Just like not long ago a girl began a thread saying she's posting nude pics on her profile page, she had people posting comments telling her to keep posting the pics, knowing it's against the rules for her to post them. Well did anybody who saw that thread report her besides me? She broke the rules & knew she was doing wrong. The rules such as no nudity & no cursing are set for a reason, Andres has said many times Do not reply to that person Report them & he will handle the person his way. Well when that girl posted those nude pics on her profile it was as if she broke into our neighbor's house & people just let her do it. Andres depends on us to report bad behavior to keep the riftraths off of this site. We are not the Forum Police but an "Eye Witness" to the rules that are broken.

If we were the forum police wed have badges. But seriously, i agree. I see a lot of forums get out of hand. If youre being disrespectful, rude, vulgar, etc. You should expect to be reported by your fellow users

I don't know what context you are talking about when you say 'forum police'....but when that phrase goes thru my mind I am not thinking of the ppl that call the police when they see their neighbors house being broken into but rather the ppl that call the police becuz they see someone jaywalking.
