Re: Forum manners

I think people are being over sensitive, saying they dont post as often or have to think hard about their posts.
Whats the point of a forum if you do that, you have to be yourself, thats how we get to know each other. Of course you will always get a couple of awkward customers, just deal with it as it comes or ignore that person.
Its so bloomin simple - aint it ......

I agree but it does get a bit less fun at times when every word is taken and searched and misunderstood.

Re: Forum manners

Theres a simple answer to that - tell them if they dont get the message by now - they will just have to lump it !

Please note this is not directed at anyone, just an observation that disturbs me.
I'm sorry you feel disturbed, but if you find it hard to deal with members who don't feel like you in regards to 'forum manners' then perhaps you should become a moderator and set down 'your' rules and in turn drive members away. I have been a member on a forum where things were handled that way. Perhaps you would be happier there. PM me and I will give you the URL.

Re: Forum manners

I don't think that is quite what is being said. The original point is a valid one IMO

To the contrary, I think quite a few on here feel the same way going by past comments.

Don't listen to him orangutan - I hope you don't follow his advice

Re: Forum manners

Kal - you will 'never' find a forum where everyone is pleasing to everyone else !
Seems ridic to even discuss these minor issues because there is no solution
moderator wise - its something you have to deal with yerself. Unless - a person is a right obnoxious jerk that should be banned !
