Problematic Forum Members A Word Of Warning
#1
Posted 23 September 2004 - 10:59 PM
Myself and some other moderators have discussed this elsewhere, and it seems to be agreed that some of the forum members around here are just here to start arguments, cause trouble, etc. I'm going to spell this out as politely as I can by using a tired cliche:
If you don't have anything nice to say, keep it to yourself.
This isn't to say that you shouldn't debate. Sometimes debate is the most interesting form of discussion. However, the next time I check a topic and see a reply with nothing but the words "Bite me", or something else to that effect, there's going to be hell to pay. We do not have much tolerance for flaming around here, and there have been some posts as of late that could be teetering on the brink of breaching that rather low tolerance. You don't have to like every forum user, but there has to be a line drawn somewhere.

QUOTE (Slade @ Sep 24 2004, 11:20 AM)
Can we flame ourselves? Like say, I wanted to say "Slade makes sweet sweet love to male llamas without protection. And he's a stupid smelly head." Would that cross the line?
No, that will result in an immediate ban.

Theres also the wanderings of those in the Fully Ramblomatic forums to note as well...
When you lose your calm, you feed your anger.

(*hangs her head in shame, because one of her recent posts was simply "Bite me."*)
I ought to kick my own ass for that, but since that would really hurt, I'll just berate my silently for the next hour or so.

bite m- ...i mean.. noted, keep up the good work.
but seriously...
i don't mind being singled out... i would rather be told now the erased...
so if anything i've said is out of line tell me.
i'm pretty offensive, but it's not directed at anyone, here.
and everyone should knoe that no remark i made against any member here was for a laugh...
but i'm clear right...
i just need to know.

No...It's me he's having a go at.
I was less than complimentary about his photo.
But, he could have smiled or something.
I said I was sorry.
I love you really Heccy, I don't want you to be mad at me any more.
When I get around to posting the least ugly photo I can find of me...
you can be as rude as you like.
(You will be anyway.)

I find if funny that slip 'n slide is made by a company called 'wham-o'. I can just imagine a kid skidding down the wet plastic and smashing into a wall.
