Does this go for senior members? I've been treated in a way that is not so great buy some senior members of this site.

Whatever happened to pointing/timeout or just plain banning the **** out of the people who don't get it?

I would think the mods don't have time to keep up with every thread and problem user or tiff like AC pointed out so rely on self policing to some point which can make a situation worse. Then there's the report post which I don't feel like being a snitch usually unless it's a really offensive or sick post. Ignoring instigators/trolls can work but some people keep on so I don't have as big of a problem reporting them.
Do you even get down innagrass, bro?

Not taking anything away from your point, but go to any of the more contentious threads from the past week, and tell us who should have been shown to the door. It always involves a judgment call, and it is one that is made more difficult by the fact that by the time we show up, there are usually four or five guys in the thick of the fight. Who started it? Who aggravated it? Who is just totally out of line, and who is gaming the whole process by posting things that could easily be viewed either way? How much is really too much?
Make no mistake: we will get a handle on this, but rather than firing indiscriminately into crowds, we are going to be looking for specific ignition sources. That's not always an easy thing to do, but people get understandably irritated when they are singled-out unfairly, and pretty much everyone is quick to protest their innocence or explain how they were clearly provoked.
Hence the larger problem ...

If anything, a join-date indicating 2 years or a post-count over 1k should indicate somebody that should know better.
Realistically, those things indicate LITTLE else than that. Anybody can hit a Submit button 16 times a day....
Report Post guarantees a review by staff. It may not net the response one WANTS, but it'll net the one it deserves within the context and the policies/practices of M4C.
Look at AC's "The Good, The Bad, The Ugly" sticky; we recognize that any member posting something like "You're stupid" is not constructive, whereas posting something like "What you're saying/thinking is stupid, and here's why..." IS often constructive, and that the butt-hurt comes from somebody that does not (or by nature, WILL not) recognize that the difference is more profound than mere semantics.
EDIT: Excuse me, morbid, that last was a generality, in case that wasn't clear. It wasn't meant to read like saying "You probably had it coming..."

I swear, whenever I read one of Army Chief's posts I hear Liam Neeson's voice.
