You will find there are many good people here. A few have quit posting for a while now. I don't post as often as I use too. Sadly the words are not mine. They are the mods that is why I provided the link where I copied and pasted. Some do not see their behavior as being part of the problem. I am a realist. I know my behavior for what it is. I am not always good but I am not always bad. Just a human hoping in life to do a little good along my way. Take care I am off to have fun.
Actually I am of the opinion that the people who are banned should of not put their selfs in the position to be banned. I also do so far see nothing wrong with your threads or post. I say if they do not like them then do not post in them. That is what I do. If I see a topic that does not appeal to me I move on. I think the world is big enough for people to have different oppinions and different taste. Do you not agree?
There are Trolls, and then there are Trolls. sometimes it’s a matter of definition.
A troll to many members- is a poster that is new, or different, who goes against the grain, who doesn’t conform or agree with the current "think" of the group, or with your political or religious views, or who has become a target of a gossip campaign against them. A troll could be a poster who openly complains about the actions of your friend (who you absolutely know for sure would never do such a thing) or someone who members suspect has reported them.
A troll to staff- is a poster who intentionally enters threads or posts to stir up trouble and inflame others. Staff decisions are based on reports received, and reading posts of the offender. No, we don’t see every case or catch every offender. Yes, staff decisions are impartial.
It’s not the job of the mods to sit in the forum and hold hands with members to make sure they follow rules. It’s their job to keep the peace! We believe that it would be impossible for ANY member or volunteer not to play favorites. So... there are NO MEMBER MODS.. NO VOLUNTEER MODS here... repeat- NOPE, NONE, NADA! Staff is NOT friends or associated with any member here, staff is impartial to any poster. We receive reports suspecting members being moderators or having an "in" with the moderators. Bad excuse! Get over it! It's NOT true!
Mods view threads during site scans as well as when called by reports. Problem threads or posts are removed, censored, or locked. Troublemakers may be banned temporarily or permanently based on offense, intent, or past history .. without warning.
Private arguments played out in the Forum will normally result in BOTH members given time-out. It's not up to staff to decide who is right and who is wrong in personal arguments, whether they’re started here or somewhere else on the web. We assume BOTH are right, in their own mind, and that the issue is not going to be solved on-stage on the forum, so both be removed to limit negative effect on the forum and other members. Keep private arguments OFF the site; don’t bring problems here from other places. Disgruntled people who wage/or help to wage wars against CS members from other locations are NOT welcome here and may not return.
SOLUTIONS… You are the Forum.. the Forum is You.
Solutions to forum problems are simple… and up to you! 1. STOP COMPLAINING about forum problems, trolls, and people with fake profiles. REPORT them and leave it to staff (you could be wrong). Know that your report will become part of a review, but will not always have the result you request. Staff will respond as they deem necessary and as time allows.
2. STOP BLAMING reporters. Reports don’t get people banned, their own behavior does. Blame the troublemaker, not the solution.
3. If you don’t like a topic or a poster, or if you get angry in a thread to the point you can no longer post with tolerance and respect, LEAVE THE THREAD and find another, or leave the site for a while and cool off. If not, you become part of the problem and should expect your share of the consequence. Remember, the worst thing for a troll is to be completely ignored. We will be posting soon about a few changes that will be made to the forum in the next few weeks. These changes will give members more control of the threads and hopefully prevent some problems before they get a chance to escalate and get out of control. But even so, the info above will still apply.
The last two years I have managed to actually keep my resolutions. But I have made them simple enough to be kept I really need to start thinking about this coming years I do not think I or the world could handle a person more perverse than me so I will not make that one mine
You are correct. Alot do. But would not one wonder where the persona comes from they wear? I also have found that a person can only act for ever so long and then you will see glimpses of the real them. Or sometimes more than glimpses
That 's ok Sometimes it is more difficult to understand the meaning of somethings when they are written. I don't think it has anything really to do with man or woman language. It might have to do with not actually knowing the person or seeing them while they are talking. I have had people mis understand my post before so if I don't understand I think it is best to ask.
Have no fear I am very creative. Maybe I can make you up something with a little food coloring. I sure don't want you to get sick. Other than that I am fixing to make a batch of soft old fashioned mollasses cookies. Want try that instead
We could ask Jeffery Dahmers (don't know if spelling of last name is correct) take on this but I don't think he can answer right now
Monte I have been busy here lately and actually this is the first I have heard of this. It sickens me beyond mere words. I myself think I could kick him in the stomach if he was within my reach
