Whatever it takes!!!
Nah I just don't buy that silentstriker's post there was the trigger for the **** that followed. He shouldn't have kept replying that but there was nothing, absolutely nothing, in that post that justified the reply by Arachnodouche, and then SoC, then it spiralled from there.
Yeah but we all know its never the response to one post when there have been multiple on the topic by the same poster. Isn't that the whole point of the mods issuing "cease and desist" warnings?

Yes but there are two problems here: (a) continuing the argument after I've asked people to stop and (b) the actual content of the posts. The reason I singled out that post by Arachnodouche in particular is the content of the post. It would obviously be much much better if people didn't continue the argument beyond its use by date, not least because it can lead to massive thread blow ups out of nowhere, but actual post content is always going to matter more, and that one post set off massive alarm bells for me.

wait i have arachnodouche on ignore so i must have missed some things. hang on what did the idiot say this time

Yeah, and the way I see it, what you guys usually do is warn in the thread about (a) and hand out appropriate punishments for (b) at the backend.
