pumpkin Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 daaaaannnnnng. i post on one of the busiest message board on the internets. its all women. hundreds of thousands of women from all over the world. there are no moderators. yes, it gets extremely heated sometimes & sometimes there really are crazy stalker b's on there. theres trolling and bogus pleas for help, but for the most part, its a good group of people full of helpful information about any subject you can imagine. i think if this place had more members, the drama wouldnt get so out of hand. if theres a mod reading my post, PM me & i will point you there.

Eye see the 3 comment to a thread designed to stop the perpetual motion of argument mostly by the design of trolls. Exactly. No one needs to worry about a ban unless they continually disrupt the board, and even then, the mods will still have discretion. Most times I would think that a thread would be locked or deleted, or if possible, simply the removal of the offending post. Trolls are just too obvious, and the mods will have no problem separating their type from the regulars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckomf Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Am I? Am I really? Could it be that we just don't agree on the issues? Is that what a troll is? I always thought a troll was simply trying to disrupt a forum for the purpose of simply getting attention. IF that be the definition then I am a bit more then a troll. You know that Murph. Here's how I see it, for what it's worth. And let me make it perfectly clear that I get a kick out of some of your sillier polls (i.e. cavemen vs. astronauts) and that I really enjoy getting the Wicked Red e-mails. It seems to me that your chosen title for this thread was intended to disrupt the forum and bring attention to yourself. If your purpose was simply to state your opinions on the new proposal for ethics here, you could have titled it something like "My Take On Things" or "I Want An Anything Goes Forum" or something somehow related to your first post. Instead, you chose a title that you knew would get a rise out of the members here that you constantly butt heads with in threads pertaining to various polarized topics. Personally, I don't complain about such things, because it's commonly stated that if you don't like something, don't read it. When a thread dealing with political issues stays on the front page for days, even weeks at a time, sometimes you have to click just to see what's so G.D. interesting. It usually comes down to two or three pages of legitimate points being made, becoming more and more terse, and then 17 pages of "you're an idiot" "no you're an idiot" "well you smell bad" "nuh uh, you do" "well my presidential candidate can beat up your presidential candidate" Meanwhile, legitimate questions come and go, sometimes without a response because everyone is too busy posting on the original thread, or creating derogatory offshoot threads, or creating offshoots of those offshoots, until there are ten active topics on the front page that clearly demonstrate that while we're all united by a common love of guitars, we all have a dark side of us that wants to lurk under a bridge and eat billy goats. The funny thing about it is that at this point, it's pretty clear where those of us who are interested in politics stand, and it's painfully obvious that nothing that's posted on a guitar forum is going to sway the other side. That fact, combined with the anonymity that the internet provides, makes it a lot easier to point out in no uncertain terms how stupid the other side of the argument is. It's getting to the point now where the lounge just needs to be re-titled as a link that says "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW I created that post just after on another thread where I was attempting to make a point of subject matter that may be off limits. So using the Obama thing was as you stated, just to get attention. BTW it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homz Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Troll. Murph as it seems you don't want to or can't seem to get it, I will do my very best to explain. I was simply saying that this kind of thread will in the near future not be allowed. The point had nothing to do with Obama. I don't think Obama was or is a god of any kind. I was making a non-political statement about the concept of more policing in the lounge. Now if you were offended I apologize. I am not even as big of an Obama supporter as you may think. Please be nice now. Are we still buddies? :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see, musical instrument based forum, but half the threads are political or religion based, if not for pure attention seeking? Nope, still don't see a problem there. Bon voyage.

It's one of Norways most sacred thing (except from tourists from Germany)[/quote']Years ago, when the Internet was young and Chat Rooms were becoming popular with the kids, people would "Troll" though the Chat Rooms, trying to pick a fight. They were using the American definition of the word "troll", to fish with a lure. As it happened, as it was supposed to happen, our friends across the pond would mistake the use of the word Troll for the big creature who protects bridges and lives in mountainous caves, as they use the word "Trawl" for fishing with a lure. Before you know it, people all over the world are mistaking one "Troll" for another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
