if you are reading the whole converstion in this thread then you might as well reconsider this suggestion. The reason why I closed that thread it is because I ask him to provide information or reliable proof not because he is anti-duterte.
imagine this, pag may tao na gagawa ng kwento sayo na walang katotohahan or ebidensya sa tingin mo ba matutuwa ka?
and infact, his last comment does not make any sense at all even though I told him to provide any information to prove his claims. And I also pointed that out from my last comment that if he wants to post another thread like that then he should've provide some reliable resources to avoid our forum members from fighting or engage in a heated debate.
Although your suggestion is good but the way you provide the evidence and antagonizing us is very insulting because you only tell 1 side of the story without realizing or knowing the full extent of the story or the reason why we have to act like that.
It not stated in rules but if you want to tell or share your opinion of someone especially in politics then be sure you are telling the truth and also has a reliable evidences to back you claims. Why? because because we do not tolerate FAKE NEWS or RUMORS in our forum as it may lead to our members to be mislead or misinformed and we don't want that.
The whole purpose of this forum is to SHARE quality contents, Helping each other, most of all... "Respect and Interact with the other members". and by saying respect... it should be earned not given.
Not BASHING, FIGHTING, CURSING or any kind of nonsense stuff.
We don't automatically close this kind of thread because we have no reason to. In order for this thread to be closed, first, if someone report it and then we will evaluate if it is valid or not. Second, if someone is quarreling/fighter in the comments section. Lastly, if the users/members use that thread as a spamming ground.
Let me clarify: I was not antagonizing any staff members. This should be clear as I made this a suggestion, not a rant. If I was antagonizing you, the way my post is structured would have been different as well. Again, this is not me antagonizing anyone, just making a suggestion.
Now that we have that clarified, let's analyze the conversation. Let me quote all your comments on the thread:
Hindi ka ata nag-babasa ng balita sir.
Sabi lang ni duterte na ipapa-deport nya yung 300 Chinese na galing sa Wuhan.
Wag ka po mag kalat ng fake news dito
Atleast try posting some reliable links or sources sa mga pinagsasabi mo di puro speculation or haka-haka.
Wala ka kasing credibility eh
What are talking you about? what i mean is that you're posting a thread that has no sources to back your claims.
It looks to me na papansin ka lang or naghahanap na lang ng kakampe. What I mean by credibility is walang maniniwala sayo kasi wala kang proof o proweba na nagsasabing totoo yung mga bintang mo

.
And what are you saying na si Mocha Uson? siya lang ba yung na-bibigay or naghahatid nga balita sa pilipinas? I mean may internet ka and might as well use it pati din yung
UTAK MO
sorry to say sir pero wala kang sense kausap. close ko nalang thread mo

.
next time na mag post ka ng thread like this, please put some reliable sources or links na napapatunay na legit yung sinasabi mo
Now, what if, for example, this is what was said instead, to request the TS to include references:
Please try including relevant sources/references to back your claims. As it stands, it is merely speculation unless you have credible sources to support you.
And if he/she does not comply:
I am sorry but I would have to close this thread. You were asked to provide sources and yet you did not comply. This will be reopened once you have edited and done what was requested. Thank you.
Compare what you said and my example: which of the two sounds neutral? Which of the two is direct to the point,
without attacking the thread starter or without no hint of emotion?
Whether a member was rude to you or not, your decisions should not be clouded by emotions. If a member was rude, you do not have to stoop down to their level and be rude too. Shouldn't staff members be better than that? I mean, we look up to you since you are the leaders and role models in this community.
It not stated in rules but if you want to tell or share your opinion of someone especially in politics then be sure you are telling the truth and also has a reliable evidences to back you claims. Why? because because we do not tolerate FAKE NEWS or RUMORS in our forum as it may lead to our members to be mislead or misinformed and we don't want that.
Yet you did not provide a reference or evidence when you said this: Sabi lang ni duterte na ipapa-deport nya yung 300 Chinese na galing sa Wuhan. While I know this is true since I read the news, didn't you just contradict yourself?
We don't automatically close this kind of thread because we have no reason to.
You just said that you close threads if they have no reliable sources or evidences. Isn't that a reason, as you said?
The whole purpose of this forum is to SHARE quality contents, Helping each other, most of all... "Respect and Interact with the other members". and by saying respect... it should be earned not given.
Not BASHING, FIGHTING, CURSING or any kind of nonsense stuff.
And yet, you just said this:
I mean may internet ka and might as well use it pati din yung UTAK MO
And the other commenters as well:
Gongong dika nag babasa Ng news fake news butaw hahaha gongong
Were they warned? Were they given sanctions?
There is a contradiction to the statements you are making. There should be fair enforcement of the rules. You just attacked the thread starter and ignored the other commenters who were clearly making rude statements, as quoted above. There should have been sanctions on both sides, on the thread starter for not citing sources and on the commenters for making rude statements.
Do you get my point? It can't be avoided by some people to be emotional when it comes to debates. My suggestion was for staff members to remain apolitical so as they will stand as an arbiter to both sides and calmly make decisions, without getting emotional. They can warn members without having to resort to attacking said members.
Ultimately, this is just a suggestion. I, like all of us here at PHC, am also thinking for the good of the site. You can either take my suggestion or leave it and ignore it

I have no problem with either because as I said, this is just both a suggestion and a constructive criticism for the betterment of enforcing the rules.
