Err, rules are rules...everyone should be treated equally when it comes to rules.
Posting history is against the forum rules regarless of whether the person was given permission or not (with good reason as you can see by the "I had permission" "No you didnt" scenerio).
The
poster is the one that breaks the rules if he/she decides to post something against the rules.
I do, however, think that if a staff member is threatening a person (as in threatening ban, jail, etc...) in order to get the person to post something which breaks the rules, should be punished...but there should be significant proof to do so.
I do not think a staff member should be fired if he/she simply asked someone to post something on the forums which broke the rules. The person should just say "No" and move on, but it would make me question the honesty, and integraty (sp) of said staff member if he did, indeed, know what he asked broke the rules.
About the website comment:
It was a harsh comment that should have been worded better to be constructive, and I would say it is on the line of breaking the rules.
I also feel like this thread was made out of anger in order to discredit a staff member. You should know that this is not the way to handle problems, and does not work.
