http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/59897-reputation-versus-time/page-2#entry754904 A report was made asking how telling someone that they lack comprehension is offensive and to provide a source. in·sult /inˈsəlt/ Verb Speak to or treat with disrespect or scornful abuse. Noun A disrespectful or scornfully abusive remark or action. Telling someone that they lack basic comprehension falls pretty solidly into the disrespect column. And whether or not you think it's offensive, we (staff) do and so do the people you directed the comment(s) to, so you'd do well to keep it in mind in future.

Michael Lee has been banned for some particularly abusive PM's and posts.

http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/75256-richard-dawkins-god-delusion-i-could-not-read-it/?view=findpost&p=754696 There was a report about this mod noted asking why I had reprimanded science4ever when the post was almost in direct response to the OP. Yes, the post that I left in the thread is almost in direct response to the OP. That's why I left it there. The 8 posts that I hid however, were not. The mod note was directed to those posts, not to the one(s) still in the thread. Apologies for not making that clearer.

Though this thread is really to respond to queries about moderator action, this post is to explain a lack of staff action following reports regarding the following: http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/72619-what-exactly-is-the-connection-between-conscious-and-autosomatic-thinking/page-2#entry730312 And http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/72619-what-exactly-is-the-connection-between-conscious-and-autosomatic-thinking/page-2#entry730200 Both reported as trolling. By no definition of the term were able to see how exactly either of these posts constitute trolling. As such, no effort is going to be made to reprimand the author of these posts.

Your problem there is that you're reading an article about how bad most skin care products are by a group of people trying to sell a book on skin care. If ever there were a good example of conflicting interests, that would be it.
