To me it only crosses a line when one of them follows the other everywhere else on voat, and starts getting into crazy arguments everywhere.

oddly enough, that's exactly what happened. Rule 3 has always had support from the /v/gaming community, so it's jarring to see that sentiment change so quickly. but a mod's responsibility is to the community, and it's foolish to maintain a rule that no longer has community support. I just hope that people continue to weigh in whenever there's a rule discussion, because the modteam does all it can to sticky those discussions right here in /v/gaming and seek feedback from the community directly. If you don't weigh in, you don't have a voice.

Taking the solution one step further, I think having a block user button would solve the problem completely. Harassment is tough to define at the subverse level because everyone's definition is different. Giving everyone tools at the individual level allows everyone to handle the issue personally in a way that doesn't affect other's on the sub.

I've made the request for a block user button here: https://voat.co/v/ideasforvoat/comments/1211887

That's too bad you're catching flak then. To me that is pretty much the only time I'd ever want a user banned. But I guess I'm alone in that.

You're probably dead on about an individual block button nipping the issue in the bud. Here is hoping they can get on that.

You're a great voater, Namrok :) I hope we always have your reasonable perspective on Voat.
