I really miss Kirk as well, such a good friend to me :(

Suze 16-12-2016 01:59 PM
I haven't been on so much myself of late, so hadn't realised Kirk had left the forum :( Adorable man. Come back kirk, pleaseeee.

Livia, I agree with your post entirely.

Beso 16-12-2016 02:13 PM
Come back you funny ****.

And he's not the first. The trick, as far as I can see, is this: learn to be insulting without actually breaking the rules; say something outrageous to someone then say you were only joking or post the little joker emoticon; always remember to make a point of quoting or addressing someone who's trying their best to ignore you... apparently that's not considered baiting, so do it until someone reacts, then you can hit the 'report' button and they'll get infracted. Also, if someone has a different opinion from you, they are obviously the devil incarnate.

Come back Kirk. We can't afford to lose another poster or this place will end up with the same bunch of people all agreeing with each other and posting the little "applause" emoticon after each other's posts.
:clap1:

(I'm one of those)

There's fault on both "sides" though, some people on Kirks side were guilty of doing exactly what you're accusing the other "side" of doing. This is a forum, people are going to clash and when you're friends with a person or people, you lose the ability to look at the whole situation objectively. I really don't know what we as mods are expected to do other than try and enforce the rules when we see rule breaks, we're not baby sitters and we don't get paid to do this s**t and no matter what way we try to handle situations like these there's going to be people unhappy and complaining about how awful and biased we are

ETA : Stacey just proved my point btw (no offence to you Stacey) but you just did exactly what Livia accused the other side of doing but I'm sure it'll be fine because you're on the right side ;)

I prefer to write my own posts than applaud somebody else's. I was using it in an ironic way because of what Livia said :shrug:

I am one of those people who will quote people and put :clap1:

I don't do it to offend anyone I just think a lot of people say what I think a lot better than I do. I have trouble translating what I think into words sometimes (if that makes sense?)

But people who are on Kirks side do that as well as those who are not is the point I was trying to make, in fact Kirk himself was notorious for doing it all the time, not that there's anything wrong with it, i do it myself on occasion if I agree with someones post, I just think it's a silly thing to beat one "side" for doing that when both sides do it but that's ignored :shrug:

I'm never going to be a yes man, as I joined this forum to voice my opinion not to be liked, this was my first forum and I had to adapt to the forum rules,
i have friends on here and I still have a difference of opinion to them.
You have to not take things to heart,
Members come and members go.

Absolutely right.

I did not often agree with Kirk but there were many times we did too.

If people are respectful and do not call others liars,stick to the points in hand and treat all other members as equals that would make time on here and I would guess the mods duties far easier.

I am one who does in fact proudly state that I have never used the applause symbol on here at all.
I prefer to say I agree and where necessary say why I do and vice versa as to disagreeing too.

It is a bit rich for anyone to condemn the use of the symbol as to others when as you rightly point out, it is deemed totally appreciated and acceptable if it is on their perceived 'right' side.

When people 'leave' forums like this, and say 'I am never coming back?' I wonder if they secretly get a buzz reading comments wanting their return.

Me when I see Joe Zel mentioned on DS.

Me:

Take my hand, stay Kirk
Heaven's not
Ready for you
Every part
Of my aching heart
Needs you more
Than the angels do

Boy
Where do you think you're goin'?
Where do you think you're goin'
Goin', boy?
Boy
Where do you think you're goin'?
Where do you think you're going boy?

Kirk:

When I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one, good one
Tell me that you'll be the good one, good one
Baby, I just need one good one to stay

Like features are a nightmare on any forum... they inevitably end up being used for not-so-covert ganging up and very little else. I remember on my own forum (may she rest in peace) we had one for about 5 minutes. NOTHING but problems. Someone would post something a bit snippy and then a dozen tag-along-Tammys (the ones without the backbone to post anything confrontational for themselves) would "like" the post. Urgh. It should just be called the "Me Too Me Too!" function.

And the clapping emote should be changed to a little smug face chanting that.

I legitimately hate it. :clap1:. **** off. Say something for yourself or don't bother to post at all. People will argue that it's a simple way of saying "I agree!". No one cares that you agree! Quote the post and say something interesting as to why you agree, or just leave the post to stand on its own two feet ffs.

There was an ol' lad named Kirk,
Who couldn't get the forum to work,
He posted in CAPS,
And he got out his baps,
So that all of the ladies would 'bate.


...I don't even know.

[edit] That last line doesn't even ****ing fit I dunno what I've been taking.
