Do you ever feel like a bit of an outcast? Alot of people on here seem to have their cliques and I for one, don't seem to fall into any of them. Anyone else feel like that?

Start posting more in the non bb sections and you will soon stop feeling like an outcast.

I know what you mean. I definitely feel like i have to defend myself against "gangs" sometimes around here. I think the mods do their best though, and they make sure to not let any of the "cliques" or "gangs" get away with it. It can be intimidating sometimes, but the mods are doing a good job.

Just be yourself and don't let them intimidate you and you'll be fine.

I can't say I have really. The first few days I joined I was welcomed by a member who has been there with me ever since that time too, there were others who were good to me and appreciated a lot of what I said who have become 'friends' on here too.
I make my posts and people either read them or don't,like them or don't too but it is something I have wanted to say, so I do so.

I feel really close to many people on here now, not agreeing all the time with them but I do feel close and there are really only about 6 people I steer clear of as much as I can.

i understand what "thetruth" is saying, but i also think this forum is very different to other popular websites. what you can say and get away with on twitter or facebook or youtube is not the same as what is acceptable on this forum. The mods are trying to maintain more of a community here so i understand why they have different standards to other popular websites.

It can be frustrating sometimes, but in the end, it's worth it, cause this is a really cool community.

I do, I made a really large thread similar to this ages ago! It can be hard and daunting sometimes but other times you can feel part of the forum. And conflicting to what people are saying but posting loads doesn't really change much.

It's nowhere near cliquey here as it is on DS, that's one thing I'll say for it, which is odd, that place being a lot larger you wouldn't expect that sort of thing to happen, but there are hundreds of cliques there, (in fact, there's a whole site dedicated to slating and trolling those in them (http://www.diabolik.tv/)), the largest being the mothers meeting attendees in Chatter who hold regular off-board meet ups, derail threads with their in-jokes, and start each other lick arse birthday threads as if they're old friends. I wouldn't let it bother you, I've always found them to a bit sad, you have to pretty lacking in real friends if you feel the need to use an entertainment forum to discuss your personal life with strangers.

Trust me, it's nowhere near as bad here, even episode discussion threads for the soaps over there turn into discussion about so-and-so's recent holiday or which of that clique should start the next thread, as if it is a reserved right for them. The only forums that aren't like it are the main TV forum and the BB forum, where everyone's too divided over which channel to fan boy over / housemate to claim the producers are biased towards to in-joke :laugh:. There is a small clique in the BB section but they generally stick to the BB Antartica / Returning members say hello threads which I've no interest in posting in anyway as any mention of the show that that forum exists for in them is generally ignored as irrelevant.

I have learnt a lot about this place recently a lot of it a pleasant suprise x

I prefer to not be too involved here but there are a lot of genuinely nice people here even those that i do cross swords with sometimes.

I agree with the truth here,I have never felt part of a 'group' on here,I DO have a few members I really like and get on with .I have also come across people I thought were really nice and turns out they weren't,so I guess it's just best to chat to people we get on with and avoid the conflict,although I have enjoyed some of that in the past it goes way too far sometimes,plus side there are some really lovely people on here.

It is impossible to get on with everyone all the time but as this is a forum and completely optional as to who I converse with, respond to or not, I enjoy the time I spend on here. Initially like most people I was wary of what I posted and when and spent more time deleting and editing my posts than actually posting. I then started posting more and getting involved more and there are a lot of really nice members. I think Bob's teddy bear thread proved that the members on here are always willing to help - even if you've had cross words with people.

People recently went out of their way to try and help you. Many of them in those so-called cliques you're railing against. Lots of people that couldn't help you, still wished you success in trying to achieve what you wanted to.

I am not in a clique at all some of the members I get on with are also members I've crossed swords with a few times,but I do class some members as online 'friends' that I would like to meet in real life,I call a clique a group who do not welcome anyone in other than their known buddies,I will chat to anyone who is friendly and not abusive,so although I have been called a few things like being in a 'covern'(lol) they are wrong it's just members who get on,nothing to do with whichcraft.:hugesmile:

Yes exactly Vanessa, I actually don't even think we have a problem with cliques on here atm, I think people have their own groups of people that they get on better with (which happens in all walks of life) but it's nothing now like it was a couple of years back with cliques.

One reason I stepped down from the position after 4 years was because I got sick of dealing with all the petty crap and being castrated for it. It started ruining TiBB for me.

There is a difference between being friendly than overly butt licking! some people seem to have short memories.i am happy to chat with members I get on with but will not ass lick to be accepted.

So are you saying that people can only be friends with eachother if they ass lick? I don't understand what you're implying there

You may have misunderstood my post. I am not "railing" against anyone nor am i criticisng anybody that helped me or wished me well.
Im not sure where you got that idea from im not even criticising anyone that didnt help. Infact im not sure what you are saying at all.
But whatever it was that offended you in that post wasnt intended to offend you.
All the best
Bob

I know it wasn't aimed at me, and I took no personal offence. It just didn't sit comfortably with me that most people on here were trying to help you one week, then the following week you're criticising people on the forum.

I didn't realise you had particular trouble with a clique, as the only person I see you consistently arguing with, is Alex.

I dont know, theres a few I consider myself quite close to on here and I very very rarely post on walls or PM.

That said, maybe they think Im a weirdo or something and just humour me :suspect:

Yeah its just my perspective, I just think if you want to get "close" to people you have to interact more than on the Board, as the popular threads move on so quickly alot of posts don't even get read never mind responded to so maybe people feel they are being left out if they post something and it is not replied to..I dunno really if there is a definitive answer to the question... :sad:

Yes i would accept that Alex and me rub each other up the wrong way something rotten but i like Alex he has his own mind and doesnt shy away from speaking it i would be a hypocrite to dislike him for that.

But you're in one of these so called 'cliques' whether you admit to it or not. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, some people just get along with others more easily, and you seem to have that with a few other members on here. As do I with some members on here

why are some posters like alex allowed to swear directly at people and get away with it?

Also when you have more infractions, it takes longer to get banned, but the bans are longer.

I dont know why it works like that but it does. I would change it all if it was up to me to be a warning, then an instant ban for every rulebreak.

One reason I stepped down from the position after 4 years was because I got sick of dealing with all the petty crap and being castrated for it. It started ruining TiBB for me.

It really isn't easy sometimes being a mod, even if it looks it. But the whole friends of mods thing annoyed me the most. I've infracted and banned many of my friends on here if they cross the line, same as the other mods do.

That's not why you stepped down as moderator. Don't try to twist it now... :nono:
