When posters leave!
 

So I'm rather sad as a good forum friend of mine has said they are leaving us, I'm not going into why precisely because I don't want banning for speaking my mind.

But come on guys, there's too much negativity and bitching sometimes. Let's stop and think about how others feel.

I myself can be a nuisance at times and I'm sorry for that.

Peace out.

Kate.

Please don't delete unless it deteriorates into arguments of course. Thanks.

Slim will be back dont worry

A post I just found made by James quite a long time ago. It's still very relevant so I'm pasting it.

A few things need to be pointed out.

1. Personal attacks are not allowed on the forum. Of course people can have other posters they are close friends with - there is nothing negative about this. It should not be assumed that they all share the same views or back each other up to the detriment of others.

2. People are allowed to give their opinion of forum topics without being attacked personally in any way. This is a discussion forum - the purpose of it is not that everyone agrees with everything all the time.

3. Inciting arguments is against the rules of the forum and can lead to warnings/ posting ban.

No more arguing please, and respect all views. If you feel you are being personally attacked, rather than retaliate - report it and it will be dealt with.

It’s not surprising people are leaving. The site has become something else entirely the last few weeks

Bites tongue at the irony

Don't worry everyone, I've changed me mind, i'm staying.

:)

Hopefully they are well prepared for the real world after their time on TIBB.

Farewell whoever you are.

I'm not jibing at you Glenn. I bit my tongue :idc:

However, with due respect, you've recently and not just all by yourself tbf, caused at least person to leave the site. Due to your incessant negativity.

Well a few days away and they’ll forget about this place won’t they. Can only be a good thing for them

Stop trying to create drama kate.

Why? Why should they have to be made to feel like that's their only option though. This person is very well liked on here and tbh it's a crying shame.

I'd think it a good idea if they reported certain things, and were informed as to what has been done.

I'm sorry Parm. That's really not my intention.
