Thread: Does anyone monitor the boards?

Go look at the Jedi board and you will see tons of BH's doing the same thing. It's infantile. Best thing to do is report all such posts you see.
I can tell you, if he don't like what people in the thread are doing, he'll say so.
If he is on, and they give it to him.

The answer to the question in the tread's subject is: NO, the moderators don't track posts. There are way to many posted a day to keep track. They rely heavily onUS to report any posts that cross the line. And things like threads that are locked in a stale mate, people trying to 'own the first page',people making off-topic remarks or worsein auction threads, etc...
Honestly, both sides post in each other's forums. However, if you report someone you best know for sure if that person doesn't have a Bounty Hunter themselves and actually belong there with their opinions as long as they are not breaking any rules then you cannot report someone for voicing what they feel.
For instance, I have both crafter and combat professions, Jedi, Bounty Hunter myself as many that have a Jedi as well have a Bounty Hunter. You cannot restrict/report people for voicing their opinions on a game change. Unless that person is violating one of the forum rules that is bannable then all you can do is make it a discussion and voice your opinion back in an adult manner. Its called a discussion/argument and there is such thing as being able to have one in a mature way. Not everyone thinks alike and quite often will disagree, even family members disagree about things.
I would reserve reporting people for language, abusive/harmful statements, any threats of in game or out of game intentions, and posting topics in areas that are not where that post is suppose to go such as posting an auction in a profession board. Common sense tells us that it is only human to err. Honestly, I believe in second chances but if a person repeats the same offense then is when banning should take place.
As a reminder, this is just a game and it is not the developers responsibility to field out right or wrong outlooks on a profession... they are not here to play mommy and daddy factor, it would be too time consuming to do such a thing dear
