Do you ever feel left out on this forum?

[Sawyer]

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?

[King Gizzard]

Well you don't post as much as most people...there's your reason...

[Glenn.]

[2].

[Drew.]

have only really seen you post in the big brother threads and posting photos of yourself in MTM.. majority of other members talk quite a bit in the chat threads

[Josy]

Basically what others have said...

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

[Marc]

C'mon Sawyer. ASL

[lostalex]

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.

are there many arugments, then?

[thesheriff443]

no im loved by one and all!:shocked::tongue:

[joeysteele]

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.

[Josy]

I have never seen you in the chat threads http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/39.gif

Think we should set up a official twitter exchange.

[lostalex]

are there many arugments, then?

in the chat threads you mean? no, It's the exact opposite. it's mostly just a clique of people kissing eachothers butts in those threads. (no offense to anyone, i know yur just all FRIENDS in there)

I don't really use chat threads because I'm useless at making conversation, but I still feel like part of the forum.

[the truth]

this site is biased and a bit bent imho the reason this site isnt as good as it should be us because therer are a clique who are either moderators or friends of moderators this means they get away with murder and others dont. its a type of kangaroo court and loses the site a lot of credibility

[Sawyer]

need sleep... and a wee.

[lostalex]

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.

[reece(:]

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.

[Glenn.]

Just get involved. You're bound to feel left out if you don't participate more.

[Jords]

I dont come online to feel like part of a clique, I like members on here and I feel liked back so happy day! ~

[Marsh.]

Not really.

I'm not part of any group of members that seem quite close and familiar with one another though but I don't want to be neither.

It's a fun (or was) forum full of weird and wacky characters. :laugh:

Just join some forum games when they come around and pop into the chat threads every now and again

I used to feel the same, talk in the chat threads a bit and you'll get people to know you in no time

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.

No. You do though, I've heard you phone in. Quite opinionated if I remember correctly.

[Jarrod]

I post loads of places and still do.

[Benjamin]

I still say that I'm a bit of an outsider. Although I talk to a lot of people, I rarely venture into the chat threads and especially now I'm not a mod, I don't really fit into a group on here.

[lostalex]

No. You do though, I've heard you phone in. Quite opinionated if I remember correctly.

okay, yur name just all of a sudden sounded really familiar and i was tryna remember if yu were on BBCP or not, maybe Doc just read out some of your comments.

And yea, i got in trouble a few times on that show. I miss Doc. Really hope he comes back for the next series. Hopefully Emma being the new host will persuade him, you know how much he loves her lol

Are you American or British?

[Z]

Sometimes I do, definitely. I think posting in Chat and Games is probably the best way to get to know people, or Music. I'll be your friend :)

[DigitalSid]

sounds like some of the members on here tbh :idc:

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 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.

[AnnieK]

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.

It's not a perfect forum, but we're not perfect people. I say "we're", but I'm obviously talking about everyone other than me.

You should be more wary about what you post, as that's utter garbage.

[Cherie]

Not sure posting on the forum is enough if you truely want to engage with people here on more than a superficial level. You need to post on their walls, PM and build up one on one friendships that way as well I think.

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.

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.

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.

[Vanessa]

That's true, but that happens in real life as well. Some people are nice, others not so much. I always talk to anyone who is friendly to me and avoid those i don't like. :)

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 yes i do have problems with some on here and naming and shaming wouldnt help.

Why do you think Alex "gets away with it?" You don't get to see other peoples infractions. And I can't speak for Alex but I'm sure he'd think it was amusing that people think he gets away with stuff.

When did this thread turn into a mod love-in? :shocked:

We're not here to make you all feel human, you're not human. You're robots. :nono:

First rule of cliqueyness, buttering up the mods so you can bend them to your will.

he swore directly at me several times and was allowed to keep posting, he didnt receive any ban at all? what else am I to deduce from that but bias ?

[Marc]

infractions sometimes don't result in bans

[the truth]

infractions sometimes don't result in bans

numerously swearing directly at other posters doesnt get a ban for any poster?

I don't think so. I think they give out an infraction first.

what about the 2nd 3rd 4th time they swear at people? how do we know the mods even notice each abusive post by alex?

I think he's been banned enough times. So i'd say they do. :hugesmile:

They have a hate thread dedicated to you in The Towers, I keep closing it but they just keep on reopening it :'(

Josy and Nathan certainly have it out for me, 100%

[the truth]

how do you know hes been banned several times?

[Niamh.]

how do you know hes been banned several times?

Because it's posted in the Ban list and it says Banned under his name and he doesn't post while he's banned.

[Vanessa]

how do you know hes been banned several times?

From the ban list. :hugesmile:

[Roy Mars III]

good question

[Marc]

[Vanessa]

The Ban List is public. :tongue:

where do you find the ban list?

[Roy Mars III]

where do you find the ban list?

you have to have more than 5000 posts to view it

It's posted when someone gets banned. :)

Really? :suspect:

Ive just read it, it doesnt say alex was banned at all recently , despite swearing repeatedly at me several times. dont you think swearing at posters repeatedly is worthy of a ban?

[Roy Mars III]

Really? :suspect:

did you not read the forum rules before you signed up

[Jake.]

could you not appeal this elsewhere?

[MTVN]

Wasn't all that long ago he was banned for 3 months, so yeah..

[Vanessa]

did you not read the forum rules before you signed up

Yes, but i don't remember this rule. :laugh:

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.

[Marsh.]

That was hilarious Marsh

10/10 for that effort

:idc:

Oh thank you Joselyn. I always sought your stamp of approval.

[lostalex]

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:

[lostalex]

Why do you think Alex "gets away with it?" You don't get to see other peoples infractions. And I can't speak for Alex but I'm sure he'd think it was amusing that people think he gets away with stuff.

I do find that hilarious. If only they could see the Appeals section.

[lostalex]

And seriously do you guys have to rub it in how many times i've been banned? Oh he's banned ALL THE TIME, he's barely even here he's banned so much! thanks guys. :bored:

[Tregard]

I'm only on here to talk about Big Brother, anyway.

(Amazing Race to if the occasion allows)

[Vanessa]

Sorry, Alex. It was just an example. Don't take it personally. I have a lot of infractions. Probably close to a ban myself! :hugesmile:

'calm down dear... it's a commercial'

[Jesus.]

It's Michael Winner, Alex. He was an English film director who directed "death wish", and others. He died last year, I think, and no, that isn't a gif of the event.

Well i do feel, sometimes although i would like to add my voice - I don't bother as it seems like people are so up their own backsides they ain't even worth replying to ! Way to busy trying to outdo each other for my liking
So i just don't bother

If there are times that would would like to add your voice, then bothering to reply is the only course of action. If someone makes a point that you would like to add something to, then whether or not they are up their own backsides is irrelevant. Just post it.

[InOne]

I've sort of been out of touch with the forum generally over the past year or so. In 2010 I had a sort of "clique" who I talked to a lot. Now a few of them have left and the MSN and TC convos stopped ages ago. I just float around the forum and talk to a few people in PM. Which is the way I like it really. Quality over quantity and all that.
