Is the Lounge Witty or Insulting? YOU DECIDE!

[j2k4]

Thats about the size of it on occasion I guess...I remember my first posts on this forum. I didn't want to appear a twat in front of all those people who knew each other and were so knowledgeable about filesharing and stuff. It made me pretty cautious about posting anything at all, particularly in the more social areas.

Still, I think it is often perceived that way a little when entering a new community, even if it turns out that they are actually a pretty friendly bunch on the whole.... with the occasional 'human' touch of out of order dickheadedness of course :)

That's about right, and on balance, quite appropriate.

We don't haze newcomers, but they have to strut whatever they've got before we'll pick on them, at which point they can be said to have arrived.

Some are all assholes and elbows (a certain fellow comes to mind), and become entrenched before we think to vet them retroactively.

I always thought I went out of my way, though, to recruit sArA for WN&E (now the Drawing Room), and make her feel welcome; we badly needed her strawberry-blonde influence.

That picture she volunteered didn't hinder things at all, either.

Apart from that, you're all just a bunch of whining, loathesome, pinko, microwave stealing bar-stewards, and what's a noob to expect from you lot? :)

[Busyman]

I take no issue with this thread. I don't think it'll accomplish anything though.

It seems a person may hate this thread 'cause they might think they are insulting and feel the need to defend themselves.

Why defend what needs no defending?

Anyone can be a git at times and some are gits most of the time. That's internet life, I guess.

To pneubs and anyone else:
If you don't wanna conform to some bastard taking a piss (or you don't know if they are), tell the bastard to STFU. Who the fuck is he to insult you?

You don't have to take that shit. :snooty:

[sArA]

I lurk J2...just don't post often, I will endeavour to become a little more active there.....

Good post.

I've been me from day 1 (I actually was worse early on) and this was my first forum. I think folks should jump right in with no hesitation.

I think everyone here, git or not, is good for this board. It is entertainment with a touch of enlightenment.

I was actually in total agreement with that piece I quoted,
I couldn't have said it nearly half that good, myself.

[rnanker]

the fist shaking is in anger at how retardedly stupid the persons remark was.

but then you know that cos it was a rod wasnt it?

Is the Lounge Witty -it is <img>
or
Insulting? - depends on your attitude, not at all actually. but harrassing yogi seemed pointless to me, all characters make up a society. nuebs sometimes post things in here to make a start, either they are ignored or oftopicsizled - which is not insulting but merelly not inviting - such is any dinner conversation - reality.
I cant be bothered anymore answering some new members posts when it comes to basics - is that wrong?
YOU DECIDE! - me? i think you should ask this question to the people outside of the lounge, i wouldnt be here if it was insulting
Yes its awful, and puts me off this place - although it does lower my brain capacity at times the loss of k++ and move etc has cuased a refined group to stay, there is less lol convos due to the like of the elite grammar uk taskforce squad which regain some of my deadcells and question whether literature can be a one sentenced line.
Its not too bad, I can handle it - it could have more, much more, due to the few members here the language and topics do go in one direction, hence if it was like in the golden days there was more dynamic
I hadn’t noticed - indeed all the huff up in evb and down here and the moderation of members seem to me some kind of outlet of frustration and totally pointless. The argumentation which follows from such "panic" moments when in actual fact nothing has happened. This is a discussion forum - so discuss without getting "physical" ip wise.
I think its funny - yes indeed hyping things up is funny, makes this place
Geptards Rod! Yeah! -"incestious private humour" indeed
Feckin’ manker - spider dude, manker, jpol, cheese -seem to be the remaining foundation, cut off their heads if you wish - then you cut off your
... and youll be redesigning this site
anyway
make a ew section for medium level conversations.

[rnanker]

thats a bit racist i dont see why the welsh should get their own forum, the ewe forum would surely be a disgusting place to discuss positions?

[twisterX]

^^ WHo are you trying to fool into thinking your manker.

that rn doesnt look like an m even when i try to look like it does. :no: aids has gotten to you.

[Santa]

goodpoint - the welsh get moderated to bookworld
and all ukaian's get their own world called "Synicism with spellcheck"
Americans stay in their predistened habitat of the drawing room

So why wasn't this thread posted in the about the board section, or drawing room even?
We even have a Poll world now, btw, which surely would give you a better idea of how others view the lounge.
It can't be a fair debate if the noobs in question refuse to come in here to pass comment. All it has done is publicly slapped wrists, without giving any particular reasons for doing so.
Thread was posted here as seemed logical though we forgot to consult you on this. Dont see why you see that so poorly as the Poll is anonymous and we wanted to see what everyone thought while keeping it light. Was about the Lounge so posted here. Confused as to how and whos wrists have been slapped.


While you're at it, bear in mind all the regs you're complaining about keep this place from gathering dust.
I havent any issue with the regulars nor the pish and find it entertaining at times. Just getting a guage for how everyone feels and if theres any negative effect on the board from the harshness that occurs at times.


Why does everything have to be about luring in new posters, when you guys can't control the ones you already have here without asking for help?
Are you saying we shouldnt try to attract new members now. How so is it that we cant control the members and should we even be or have to. This sounds a catch as if we were rounding up members for shock therapy Im sure your tone would be worse. Whats happened here other than a debate. Maybe it’s the fact theres a Poll attached thats sent you into road rage. Maybe you could get something positive out of this other a home for a rant that seems misguided. Im not the only one thats seen an upside to this. This thread to me feels like someone just opened the windows and theres some fresh air about.


yeah, we loves a good handbag fight really. :whistling
Now its all clear... :happy:

[Lilmiss]

Dont see why you see that so poorly as the Poll is anonymous and we wanted to see what everyone thought while keeping it light.

I do believe there is a public option warning members when making a thread in the poll section. Of course, you'd know more about that, being a forum mod. Perhaps you could correct me if I'm wrong on that one.

C'mon, own up. You wanted to start an argumentive topic to watch us fight and throw hissyfits, didnt ya. :naughty: Silly you, we fight anyways.



How so is it that we cant control the members and should we even be or have to.

Buggered if I know. I do believe that's your job pal.
May I remind you that this is a family board, and probably needs more modding in all parts due to the extra hits we seem to get from google? Not our decision, I'm sure. You want the extra noobs, get ready for an overflow shortly cos it's nearly skool hollydaze.

Eff, Zed, JP or Guill for mod, all the way. Power to the people. :01:



Maybe you could get something positive out of this other a home for a rant that seems misguided.

Hmmm....then again maybe you could treat us like individual members and not slate the forum as whole. Perhaps you could bring it to yourself to reveal where the halt line is, rather than informing us it's been over stepped. This whole thread was discussed before posting, so dont give us the home for a rant shite. It was instigated from the start to provoke a divide between members, pity it backfired. :ha ha:

Ooooh, and maybe you shouldn't be such cnuts over JP's roaming sports threads. In his case, really, how knobbish do you feel? He makes plenty of thought provoking threads, and because one or two are are in the wrong section, you find a scapegoat for all the wrongs of the world?

At least a few of us want to be here and happen to contribute, which you should probably quote in your diary for when you're left with no one left to moderate. :shrugs:

I was actually just wondering if this thread had a purpose other to annoy the regs, but now I can't even be arsed waiting for your answer. It will more than likely avoid the topic completly, and end in the regulating of yet another member that you have a personal dislike for. :hang low, mank:

If the mod team has a problem with me, JP, you, Cheese, Bo or anyone else regarding insulting behaviour, then a pm would be a better way to deal with it - rather than this car-crash of a thread.

Also if certain folks on here feel that the Lounge is not insulting, I don't see what the hoopla is.......unless those people feel they are really insulting and don't want light shone onto that fact.

Meh....can't do owt right....Mod=Git, automatically and without any due consideration.

If it was not a rod Lillmiss, then where is your REAL justification for the two rants you have posted (late into the discussion I might add)? I don't know about the other Mods here, but I get totally exasperated with everything we do being misinterpreted as Mods getting power hungry, or stirring up shit, or whatever...

The thread was to ask how people felt....nothing more, no malice, no rod, no shit sherlock!

Any other interpretation of motives cannot be attributed to the team and is entirely the 'problem' of the interpreter.


I can't be any clearer can I? Maybe manker and JPaul will help me out here....:)

[Cheese]

If you didn't think a thread like this would raise heckles then you are stupid. Fact.


Edit: What does Lilmiss being late to the discussion have to do with anything? Is there some sort of 24-hour rule that if you don't post within a day you are excluded from having an opinion? Lilmiss' "rants" were quality FYI.

[sArA]

No Cheese, heckles is one thing a rant is another.....accusations another again. Late to the discussion at the point at which I stupidly thought that people had smoothed their ruffled feathers and started to actually talk about it....Ha ha ha...no such chance.

Stupid? Fact? Pots and Kettles mate....

Stupidity is the refusal to see the truth when it is right in front of your eyes. Stupid is a blinkered, narrow minded approach to a viewpoint no matter what other possibilities are presented or how many times people are told....

example.

Person A 'You asked me that question just to piss me off'
Person B 'No I didn't, I really wanted to know that's all'
Person A 'I don't believe you because you are a (insert stereotype here) and all (insert stereotype here) are out to get me'
Person B 'But its true! What can I say to convince you?'
Person A 'Nothing because you are a (insert stereotype here) and all (insert stereotype here) are lying, evil antagonists at every opportunity'

Lilmiss's comments were quality ranting, but unhelpful and way off the mark. Fact

You think I am just going to sit here and take all that shit? Why the fuck should I? Oh yes, its cos I am a Mod...silly me...we are supposed to take abuse and be told we are all bastards and not dispute that?

Actually, we should get an all female moderating team. I'm trying not to be sexist but a young male (majority of the board) is more likely to listen to a lady rather than some old codger like Lynx or a teenage bloke.

Suggestions of a possible cyber-date in the future would calm down even the most obnoxious of flamers. :naughty:

We used to use this theory when I worked behind the bar. We'd always send a barmaid over to calm down any rowdy groups. That or dress Al in the barmaid's outfit and send him.

[Lilmiss]

If it was not a rod Lillmiss, then where is your REAL justification for the two rants you have posted (late into the discussion I might add)?

My REAL justification? :unsure:

I generally ignore most threads in here. It's quite easy, I just scroll past them and move along. The same can be said for posts I don't care for. If I do happen to be offended by anything posted, then it's my own tough shite for posting personal details about myself in a public forum. Maybe the noobs will be grateful in years to come that the lounge has introduced them to different forms of humour. It may even incourage them to grow a harder skin, and get on with life.

The reason for my tardiness?
I did try avoiding this thread for ages, but it just wont die.
I guess I just dont give a feck about how other people perceive the lounge.
I've never felt the need to report anyone in here, and unless they post something that has a direct impact on my personal life, I never shall.

D'ya know what makes me giggle? The fact we have a harrassment/stalking sticky post at the top of the page, that can't be posted in. So instead of informing the community of how they feel and resolving problems in-house, the big girlies have to pm a mod to stop the pigtail pulling. oh yeah...they could always report the offender/s in a section, which again, isn't open for public viewing. How are we meant to know who the sensitive members are, if it's all hidden away?

I don't have a problem with any of the mods as posters, in fact it would be great to see more contribute in here. Although, imo, they only seem to turn up when a thread needs closed, or to generally flex a bit of authority by removing pics. Of course, I don't include you in that group Sara, and quite honestly don't understand why you would want to be a mod. You're a fine member, and don't seem to enjoy having to tell others off for petty word crimes.

Maybe if the rest of the team posted more, they wouldn't just be viewed as power hungry egotards.. :mellow:

[MagicNakor]

But you include me? I'm hurt. I would've shared with you too, but you lost your chance. :snooty:

More seriously, but no more coherently, I'm intermittently offended by posts in forums. Not just here, and, to be honest, this board is really very tame (that's not the word I'm wanting but....heh...) with regards to offensivness. If I am offended (not personally-directed, just as a random post passing by), a good 99% of the time I'll ignore it. I know what my buttons are. :P The other 1% of the time I'll have it out with someone, but I've never done that here. As for the "hidden awayness," it's entirely possible that people don't want to be singled out as the crybaby/pussy/whateverdescriptor in front of the entire board. They've always the option to start a thread to tell people to sod off or to PM specific people if they want to work it out amoungst themselves.

I think I lost my point...

You could resign. After all, you're only a mod because they needed a token female.
:lol:

Feck, going by that logic - Busy would have been a mod by now, if he wasn't such a twat.

I wonder if we have any mods from ethnic minorities :smilie4:
Yeah 'cause we have some other minorities to choose from.

There's some Indians, a Jew, and some Arabs.

Btw, I am not twat. I do like it immensely, however.

The shit-slinging should stop and members should learn through moderation to be respectful.

Let's be constructive....if all anybody sees here is a people trying to tear each other down, no one will want to be around us, and the "community" concept, which is a good one and worth building, will not prosper.

[manker]

Respect has been bastardised by Americans in films.

'Gimme some respect, yo'.

Fuck off, I only give respect to those that demonstrate to me that they've earned it. I don't go around randomly dishing out respect to idiots. This holds true on both the interweb and irl.

If an established member is a dick, I'm less likely to pull him or her up on it if I respect that member, if I don't - it's practically a given that I will.

Being an administrator or a moderator also doesn't automatically earn respect. However, the two things aren't mutually exclusive as some mods may or not believe. I have virtually no respect for some mods, I have oodles of it for others.

Putting a member on moderation because they were disrespectful will not make the member be respectful to people who don't deserve it (in their opinion), it will only serve to make them more likely to post elsewhere.

Fact.

Now stfu about respect, Skizo, you idiot.

[manker]

Skiz probably is mixing up respect with politeness. I have to agree that respect is earned. However, I think with many on here, contempt is automatic.

Skiz may have demonstrated to be blank sometimes but I can't say that has he earned my contempt either...even though he's Republican.

It's not like he goes around fucking with people.

[manker]

However, I think with many on here, contempt is automatic.Wrong.

If you demonstrate yourself to be a complete fucktard on seventeen different occasions within a timeframe of not more than ninety days, you earn my contempt.

If there's anyone her who thinks this is anything more than a source for filesharing, PC related help and information then they really should look at their life.

That was a contemptuous post. It is not indicative of how I generally interact with Skizo and it does not delineate a feeling of general contempt held by me about him.

I've posted a contemptuous comment toward most people who post here regularly - does that mean that I hold everyone here in contempt. Of course not.

Do you see how making a rash judgment based on a solitary incident may not tell the whole story.

True again.

I just couldn't tell by Skizo's post. If I were to see someone constantly fucking with someone else and that someone demonstrates they don't like it, then admittedly as an outsider, I'd think the folks that keep fucking with him hold some animosity toward him.
