[REPORT] Flaming/Flamebait in New Orleans Thread

[Soldati Senza Confini]

24/7 police presence around all confederate statutes. Oh, that'll get approved, I'm sure.

A lefty lunatic takes it to the extreme, example #1374

We're working under the assumption that were they not moved they would just not be maintained by the city, and instead will have a 24/7 guard/cleaning crew of white southern blokes.
For some reason....

A lefty lunatic takes it to the extreme, example #1375. The lefty lunacy counter will now be my sig.

Highlighted for emphasis.

He's edited the 'lunatic' part out of his posts, so we'll leave this be for now.

Have been involved in that discussion, and kept up for a while reading. There were a number of posts made by the poster in question with seemingly similarly-questionable tones, and all were edited fairly quickly - though mention was made of quoting them or referencing them in their signature. At what point would the posting of repeated inflammatory statements and quickly-redacted edits become actionable in this case? Or is that another 'don't concern yourselves with it, we got this' bits, in which case I apologize for bringing it up. Damn shame one can't see edits on the forum, or that these forum systems don't log changes of that sort, that I'm aware of. (Haven't run one that did, come to think of it.)

I checked the post and you're right, he's skirted back beyond the line. It's worthy of an unofficial warning for now.

Cheers for the update.

No problem. Sometimes unless you're right there watching it happen, it can be damnably hard to see, and no one can be everywhere at once no matter how good they are. Thanks for taking the time for another look.

You can read people's minds now? Cause that is a really cool skill!! Can you tell me what I'm thinking?

You can think?

Oh, I get your schtick now. Don't bother taking off your coat...

What are you talking about? I referenced 2 well-known memes to make fun of radicals.

Here he admits that he's trolling/flamebaiting. ^^

This is the 3rd time that post has been reported. It was ruled not actionable.

That was already apparent, hence the unofficial warning Audio gave him this afternoon. I might have gone with an official warning, but I don't think this is enough to justify upgrading it unless there are further offenses. Either he'll get the message and settle down, or he'll make more troll posts and we'll cross that bridge when we find it.

It is? I don't see it quoted on this thread.

Also I would posit that a sarcastic "you can think?" is perhaps a flame by implication, and definitely flamebait due to being designed to elicit an angry reaction.
