Time out

#1 Postby wxcrazytwo » Mon Aug 08, 2005 12:34 pm

You guys need to breathe "in and out", before someone gets banned. I believe MF posted something about getting along. Posts are posts, but when it starts to go south, then that is when the real trouble comes in. Like the infamous Rodney King said "Can't we all get along". I don't wanna see anyone get in trouble or nothing, but I think most of you agree this is one helluva site to be a members of and getting banned is like going from Wall Street to the Bronx. It is just not as good from the other side seeing in....JMO...

Ah, being a refugee from the "shut down for repairs" TWC board (down now for two weeks) I think you need more background on this.

I'm not going to name names, but the level of post quality dropped over there from excellent to troll pool. Certain members and certain posts were the reason. Ask "Frank2" or any other TWC board refugee.

The worst part of it was some members defended their right to post, even though it was clear they were chasing good members from the board and bringing the site down.

TWC board devolved into a mess of stupid posts making silly comments mostly for the purpose of gratuitous posting. Some designed to deliberately provoke.

There is a point where you have to keep up site standards...

I never even know TWC had a message board. Shows how much I know.

I agree, that is why I posted a long time ago that the age level be brought up to age 18, because at least the maturity level elevates some what. Some post for that reason some for other reasons. I believe MF and Chad allow it for whatever reason.

Guess it is just a matter of staying on-topic. I don't want to bash anyone. Carry on.

du1st~ I am glad you apologized because I was reading your posts and the FIRST thing I thought to myself but did not post was that you were a troll.

I know quite a few teenagers who are more mature than some 30-40 year olds. :lol:

If the posts get too crazy, ignore them (this is a general statement intended for no one in particular). Every single post does not require a response - and this goes for a myriad of message board forums. If the topic is emotionally charged, get up and walk away from the keyboard. Chances are it'll pass and the moderators will do their thing.

San is right i am a member of the twc board also and it has been down for several weeks now, Their were some really inmature people over there for several weeks that made it hard for some to post. i have wondered if they will bring it back up or not. people were complaining about not having any mods to mod it so they just went in there and locked it up . I love this site also :wink: but i liked to go from site to site can i say that?? plz don't ban me. :wink:

If we ban teenagers then floydbuster will be banned and not be able to post. Also TSZack, I think that a blanket ban of teenagers goes against what this board is about. quality posts with a family atmosphere.
