When did this site turn into a concentration camp?
I have been a member on the site for roughly 2 years (different user names/profiles), in that 2 years the forums have went from a place of fun - especially the chit chat forum to a place where if you tell someone the truth you are facing a warning, a strike or better yet a forum ban.
I am a member of MULTIPLE online forums and have been since I was 15; I am 30 now so you do the math. This site is so overly moderated its ridiculous. There are times where yes moderation is required but every single one of the warnings I have ever received has been because I told someone to just do it and suck it the fruck up! I tell my co-workers the same thing on a daily basis... hell I tell my 8 year old niece to suck it the fruck up if she is whining over something stupid.
NOT everyone on this site is mean, some of us are actually pretty nice people that do try to help but when we are met with "Stop being mean" comments we just turn into sarcasm machines... its not bullying if you don't like what you hear. Be an adult pull up your big girl/boy panties and move the hell on. Not everyone is going to hold your hand, not everyone is going to like what your doing and we will tell you. We are adults right? I think there is a rule you have to be 18 to use the site... so be an adult, if someone hurts your feelings on the internet turn the computer off and walk away. Pretty simple.
Also stop reporting things unless its necessary... if you are an avid "OH I DON"T LIKE THIS REPORT" person go away. It is not your JOB to remove those you do not like, use the ignore feature and those you don't like won't show up on the forums. Seriously... you know who you are.
Can we please be more like an internet forum and less like a concentration camp. I come to the site for the tools, and the socialization factor - its fun... well it used to be fun. I want fun back.
Sorry I am so sick of people getting banned and receiving warnings all because someone gets their panties tied in a knot and that knot gets lodged up their sphincter.
people on these threads talk very big... but if it was face to face 99% would back down....guaranteed... its just a fact that people try to talk hard because they are protected by a screen. if anything why dont we be nice on these threads... and talk big out in the real world...
just like road rage.. ya you will flip me off while your in the car.. but the second i get out my car and come after you what are you gonna do now..? they drive away and get all scarred.... lol... haha i sound so gangster right now but its true.. all of yalls have big balls here but in the real world many would run away and hide.....
kind heartedness goes a long way.. you have no idea what being nice could do to make a person feel happy... for every 5 nice comments someone gets if 1 comment is negative all the nice comments fade away.. it pays off to be nice.. it is more rewarding to feel like you made someone happy. i would much rather make someone smile than make someone cry...
PHYSICAL ABUSE HEALS WITH TIME.... MENTAL ABUSE MAY NEVER HEAL AT ALL and those words will ALWAYS stick with you at a negative point in your lifestyle..... so... choose words wisely and know someones feelings are behind this screen... dont be mean just because you can....

Criticizing, disagreeing with someone, or even hurting someone's feelings is not "mental abuse". Are we so fragile nowadays that "abuse" is now defined as "not blowing sunshine up one's *kitten*?"
I've honestly never seen mental abuse on a public online forum, not even the nastiest, knock-down fight.0 -

I didn't read your response past the first sentences of your first and last paragraphs...why? Because unlike physical abuse where it may not be so easy to ignore, walk away or fight back. Here, on the internet and in your own mind, you CHOOSE what you read and if you don't like it, you can choose to stop reading. You don't really have to keep on reading. You don't HAVE to take up arms and fight with every idiot you come across on the internet just because you feel the need or desire to have your opinion "heard" Were you aware you had a choice?

I'd like to see you punch my face in... seriously I really would because I can put money on it you would be the one walking away with a broken nose. On these forums I am EXACTLY 100% to the T the same as I am in real life. If I say it here I say it in real life..
If 1 negative comment on the INTERNET ruins your day you should probably re-evaluate how you handle things. Me personally.. I am not a hateful person, I do not say things just to hurt peoples feelings but sometimes the truth hurts. I don't hold hands, I don't beleive telling someone everything they are doing will pay off if I know for a fact it wont. People need a thicker shell.
I was bullied as a child, what happens on these forums.. NOT bullying.
You make mygo pitter patter.

You'd think by now the # of rants that have backfired would kind of make someone rethink their approach to things. And the % of who she thinks are too cowardly to confront her in RL has gone from 99% to 99.99%. It makes me giggle :laugh:0 -

You just took that to another level. Maybe you didn't read what the OP wrote.....or didn't fully comprehend it, but the OP isn't saying there aren't mean people on here......But the majority aren't and lots of people are report happy right now. As others have stated many times it is not the person being attacked at all but the idea........When the person insists on defending that idea to the death with no scientific research to back it up and then get personally offended that's on them.....not the person questioning the idea.
you took the words right out of my mouth...again a "new" person not seeing the whole picture.
But, according to her, it is ok to react with physical violence...now I'm confused...0 -
When did this site turn into a concentration camp?
It hasn't. I'm grateful for the mods. They keep this place from turning into a zoo full of idiotic immature twits with nothing better to do than to pick on strangers on the internet.0 -

Not everyone has to agree with what your opinion is. Some may take offense to it. This is not a local playground where hogwash and horseplay are allowed. Please be respectful to the feelings of others!0
