How would you deal with people who are rude to other members?

[ganibade]

Yes, giving warnings to such rude people is a good idea. If they still keep doing such things, then they must be banned as punishment and to keep a positive and safe environment for your online community.

If it is possible to give them quiry letter, because of their rudeness on the group to the Superior head. After warning letter they refuse to obey to the rules and regulations on the group then the admin can remove them from the group.

Inasmuch as it is good to grow and be widely known. It is as well very important that the growth is with quality people because that would ensure that the growth is consistent.

I believe that everybody who is in a forum should be respected no matter what. What I'm going to do that I am going to report them to the administrators so that they are going to be warned.

You're absolutely right by saying this, in any forum I believe everyone has there standards, and respect among members should be among so as to be free from conflict as the case maybe.

It depend on the number of users that are using your forum. If your forum have many registered, there's no way you monitor all the member to the point of privately talking to those that are rude. So, the best way to deal with rude people is automatic ban. The ban should not be much.

Probably, I have come across some forums that have a lot of trolls. Their only source of joy is trying as much as possible to make trouble with other members. Such things should not be tolerated at all.

I hate trolls, it is a very dishonorable character and you should try as much as possible not to keep such character or such people around you as they only pull down ànd tear down.

It does not matter whether the member is rude or polite, what actually matters is if the member creates high-quality posts or not, and if the member follows all the written rules or not. I only give importance to rule following and content quality.

 

[Gandiba1]

I think the best thing To do for members who tends to be rude, is to give them warning towards that' specific thing they are doing. And if they continue repeating the same thing, I think they should be penalized.

 

[Shortie]

I can only speak from an admin of forums perspective as that is the most I have been staff on somewhere I would need to deal with members who may be troublesome or rude. When it comes to dealing with members who are rude or like to cause trouble I first will speak to the person in question and ask them politely in private to not do what they had done and that it was their first warning. After that, if they continued it would be a suspension for a few days and then after that would be the third time me telling them and it would be an outright ban. I don't like to ban unless I feel it is really necessary but if you are rude or someone does like to cause trouble then I will only tolerate it for so long before they are gone.

Well, I am also not in favour of banning people and I think that they have the right to explain things. However, sometimes, you may not have any option but to ban them as a last resort.

I think in such cases other members should report the issue to the admin or moderators with adequate evidence showing how the said member treats other members. So the member at fault can be dealt with according to the rules and regulations of the forum or site.

 

[eenya001]

Every forum have rules and regulation. If you allow your members to be abusing others that means they can make other people never to visit your website again. So it is important you take drastic action.

If you do not stop it from the onset it can degenerate to something very big, as allowing people to insult others without taking concrete measures would make your forum look unserious

 

[AruneBend]

May be the thread subject is a little misleading. There are people who are usually humble whenever they see a moderator online(this happens a lot in chat rooms) and they are usually rude to other members, when there is no monitoring involved.

I have observed this situation in many websites and it's not possible for the staff, to monitor the chat rooms continuously. So, how do you deal with such members? Would you try to set-up an automatic ban whenever they are being rude? Or would you try to reach out to them, to give them a formal warning?

As for me, I would probably give them a warning first before asking them to leave the chat room(if they can't behave). Is it the same for you guys?

Being rude to other members is very disrespectful and you need to give them a seriuos warning because they broke the rules if they won't behave you should ban them from the forum

Yeah, such a forum will be blacklisted by a lot of people because of the kind of insult they must have received. So taking drastic action from the onset is very necessary.

Well, I believe that all the members of the forum should be courteous and polite. They must avoid using slang language even if it is not intentionally used to disrespect others.

using slang language is not advisable at all because there are different countries who visit the forum. Not everyone will be able to understand such a language and people may see it as an insult.

 

[Sotherefore]

If I am a moderator of the platform and I came across people like that in the community I am managing. Three is always rules and regulation that has been set by the admin. That is what I will follow and give punishment or maybe a warning according to the rules and regulation.

 

[saoussen57651]

You can mute this person from the chat room and that is all about it if the person is rude with other members in chat room or even temporary ban if it is a forum to preserve a good quality of threads and interacts.

 

[Kennysplash]

There should be a rule that talks about being rude to other members and the penalty for such action. So once the members know that there is consequences to it they won't do it.

 

[Heatman]

There's a very good reason why forums have moderation policy. It's the duty of the forum's moderators or even the administrators to make use of the moderation policy to handle such members. It's not something you decide to handle the members how you feel like as a mod but everything must go in line with the forum's moderation guidelines.

 

[akinlolu99]

I don't think there's any way to deal with someone that's being rude because let's be realistic whoever is being rude he's fully aware it's just that the person is too ignorant to admit it so if the person has been told once or twice by 2 members or admins and the person does not adjust his or her way of communication I think the best is just to let the person fly solo.
