The air just lifted. No one argued, there was no one to cause any drama etc etc

..thank you Sheriff...


..and tbh, I don't see the point in having a moderated forum and then having 'unmoderated fights'...and I don't think it will solve anything either..some people get along and some personalities don't..nothing is ever going to change that..no matter whether it's the Razzies, Most Loved or a forum game..there will always be clashes and that's never going to change...

I have to disagree tbh and comparing the reports forum from then til now completely backs up what I said earlier.

Yeah, sorry for hi-jacking this a bit Ammi :laugh:

January was like a bold orgy around here.

Yes because certain members took exception to their chat thread being infiltrated... and tibb is for everyone right?...
I have a very good memory jake, there was some bitching and nastiness that resulted in a very bad decision. :)

I've always thought one specific thread where all bickering and arguments are told to go (which is hidden to guests) and is unmoderated would be a good idea. Then you get strict on anyone that continues an argument outside of that thread after being warned.

That way if you love the drams, you can watch and participate. And if you don't, you don't have to see it.

People would probably end up getting over their differences in the end I reckon too. People would realise it's just a forum and it's all a bit petty. But it'd be fun initially.

Jacks got his head screwed on right

That proves nothing... It only shows that nobody reports anymore, what's the point?

I hardly have the memory of a goldfish lol, my point is that it isn't like that now.

so apparently everyone just loves arguing

What was the bad decision?

Don't you think? Oh well we will have to agree to disagree on this jake.

Only the unsullied. :worship:

I use the snow white gif when people say something beyond moronic
dont think I ever argued with charlie properly, didn't see the point, he was just a delusional spiteful attention seeker :laugh:

Yeah, will have to then!

:joker:

I'm bowing out of this discussion now Kizzy because looking at your last couple of posts you basically just want to turn it into a mod bashing thing.

Awful idea.

No matter how much you say it wouldnt spill into other threads it would, you honestly think certain members are going to argue like mad in a thread then act civil to each other in every other part of the forum?

Not a chance in hell of that happening.

I do agree with you about arguing on a forum being a bit petty though and you saying that at the end of the post seems a bit hypocrital.

At least if there's one thread people let it all out, it's so boring going in different threads and seeing the same people over and over making snipey digs at one another

Oh josy, don't get all defensive I was just saying my peice.
I was just explaining how I felt, there was no intention to upset or offend you or any moderator personally.

It wouldnt change a thing though Smithy there would still be arguing in the other threads IMO.

the rest of the forum would then be dead

..why do they have to 'have it out' on the forum at all though..most people are on facebook and other sites..if they feel they have something to have out, then they don't have to do it on the forum....

Never got the whole internet drama thing. The breadgate argument was probably the dumbest/ thing I had seen for a long time. I just can't shake the picture of people getting so mad while typing on the Keyboard :joker:...

He says... like you have never done it. Come on smithy you can be as pointy with your stick as the rest. :)

:joker:

Exactly Ammi, I really don't get the point of it all.

I agree, Ammi. :thumbs:

you used to get mad at me before you saw sense and started adoring me :hmph:

whats is the have it out thread

LOL

I didn't say it like it'd never done it :conf2: It just seems to happen a lot now with certain members and it's just boring

And some just have the occasional little rant ;)

Oh I know it'd spill into other threads, but my point is is that you'd get strict on that as soon as it started (something which I think the majority would then support, rather than oppose if we had a specific thread to go and argue in). One warning and if it's not moved then start handing out infractions and bans. Soon enough people would get the message.

I can see how you think it's hypocritical but it's not. I don't actually dislike many people here and only really get into arguments off the back of debates, but it's sometimes amusing to watch others arguing (and sometimes it's not) and taking part in a slanging match would be quite fun every so often, just for the hell of it. It's more that taking part in that is so petty it becomes funny, so people would fluctuate between going in there to argue and insult and then realising 'well, this is only a forum...does it really matter?'. I think people would naturally get bored eventually and would probably end up resolving their differences by agreeing how silly it is. While ever there's this 'crack down' you're still going to have people having differences and bickering, rather than solving the problem you're just displacing it and moving it to a later time.

I agree with Kizzy here,there is no point in reporting anyone anymore as you got told off for doing so and told off for arguing so it was catch 22.:hugesmile:

Was more frustration tbf ;)

Now that I can't disagree with :joker: but I reckon it'd last a week, there'd be some massive slanging match, and then everyone would just realise how stupid it is and move on, problems would be resolved and you'd only get the odd people going in there every so often whenever another argument started

Certain members... Certain members do it or certain members are the target for it?

idk idc

I think the sheer volume of reports is what lead to not reporting anything. I don't blame the mods because its then that has to sort them so it was easier to enforce that the subject was dropped completely.

That's my understanding anyway
