Sorry you fell that way bk. I bear no one ill will.
OK, i might have been a little unfair to you. Sorry for that, Vox.
The point i was trying to make is that Tom surely bears no malintent, and you should know it.
But intentions are not the same as outcomes.
I get that. But here is the context: Since Tom joined the forum he gets backlash for all kind of stupid things. He's called a troll for opening new threads. He was accused of plagiarism for not quoting correctly (no one ever told you that even though you are also not always using the quote notation correctly). And more stuff like this. And now he is called a spammer because he posts "too much" on some days.
He always obeys rules once pointed out to him. When users have a problem with Toms post frequency, perhaps send him a kind PM and tell him about how you feel about that? Must it always be public shaming and name-calling?
Perhaps a daily cap on posts for all users would be fair.
Yes, make rules and blame users who don't follow them. That would be fair at least. What's going on here right now is not fair.
Edit: In the Germany thread a user is spamming fake information and he is not called spammer. He is parroting Breitbart news without using quotation marks but is not called out for it. He is trolling with an openly racist and xenophobe attitude. Not called a troll though. Everyone is kind to him.
I guess it's proportionality what i'm missing.
