The #BeKind #BeHappy Manifesto

I aim to put an end to snipey comments on peoples posts. The endless attacking of some members by the same members for no reason

I aim to bring positivity to the forum by making chat and games the main focus of the forum. I think Interactivity and fun bring out the best in people

I also aim to make there be a like function on peoples posts. Sometimes things people post are absolutely fantastic and they deserve credit!

I also think we need a good party every now and again so if I win I can guarantee every friday night is party night. There will be a chosen theme for that night lets say hmmm movies or Guilty pleasures or Girlband vs Boyband and I will use my DJing skills to bring you some bops!

So who wants to support the

Strictly Jake's #BeKind #BeHappy Manifesto!


We currently have 5 supporters

Kazanne
Amy Jade
Niamh
Livia
Mystic Mock

Our campaign banner is in my signature.

If you want the forum to be a nicer place this is the team you need

How will you go about putting an end to snipey comments? How will/could you enforce that? Carrot or stick? And who do you feel are endlessly attacking versus who is being endlessly attacked?

must admit I do enjoy a snipey comment so not sure I can vote for Jake :oh:

I second what Kazanne has said to name and shame is not our style at this party. We shall end the snipey comments by simply promoting the idea of being kind and being happy and in time these will silence the haters.

Popular saying that you cant fight fire with fire so as Kazanne says we will win with kindness

Do you wish to show your support mr slim?

Are you then saying that the mods and James are doing bad job of promoting the idea of being kind, taking into consideration one of your team members?

I need to see what the other candidates are saying before I commit (as the only candidate doing anything, you're definitely in the lead), although Marcus will forever be my PM :smug:

I like your vibe son but if you want a little input from an ex-forum-admin - post "likes" are a disaster. I implemented them on our forum, spent weeks on an entire custom code and layout for them.

They promote cliquiness and are used to bully. If you end up in a disagreement scenario, you end up with the "person with more forum pals" getting tonnes of likes on their posts and the less popular member getting few or none even if they're talking much more sense, and it just highlights the tribalism and creates an inequality in the weight behind individual posts.

If you want a nicer forum, I'd scrap that policy!
