The Org Needs To Chill Out A Bit

[blueto]

Right you lot....Im playing Dad here.

Will you lot in posts stop popping at other people?

EVERYBODY...YES I MEAN EVERYBODY has and values and opinions. So please orgers value other peoples opionions concerns, veiws and religions and stop sniding at other peoples posts. It is really starting to annoy me now.

I thought we were all supposed to be friends on here....All like midned bikers talking about the things we like and the things we do.

You are making some people feel under valued like they should not have an opion and that is just plain WRONG!

This arguing and direct blame culture stops NOW before we loose any more people from this site.

So from this day forward.................No ARGUING PLEASE (u know who u all r, i dont need to name names)

[MiniMatt]

Bah, you want to stop all my fun :smt029

:p :D :)

(excessive use of smilies to emphasise joke)

[gettin2dizzy]

why not just join a BMW forum eh? ;)

[G]

Its all just banter, I dont think anyone takes it personally and if you do, or start to, stop reading/posting in that particular topic.....dont get wound up by it.

EVERYBODY...YES I MEAN EVERYBODY...

And I'll just ignore you, like I did my Dad.

This is a pointless thread really, people are free to say what they want about whatever they want, and when things get out of hand the mods step in.

But up until that point, its a free site.

Yes, people get banned, people leave - but thats their own choice - yes even those banned get usually get a warning to change their behaviour.

Do people really get banned? I dont think I have seen anyone get banned in the past year or so that I have been on here.

Although there has been no real trolls that I can remember anyway, just good banter.

[blueto]

We can't go round treading on eggshells all the time:rolleyes:

there is a level of egg shell treading and there is a level of plain nastiness...to which sometimes i have seen on here.

Dont get me wrong im all for banter, but not nasty snidi comments that upset people. Some characters and personalities are stronger than others.

[SoulKiss]

Yep people have been banned - one even got let back just recently :)

but it IS rare

[MiniMatt]

Ok serious reply. People do need to be mindful of other people's feelings. A bit. Not a whole lot, but a bit. This is the internet, someone somewhere will be offended by absolutely anything you care to mention. Similarly, someone somewhere will always manage to deeply offend you/me.

But I kinda love Idle Banter for the arguments, it's half the reason I come. So long as it's never intended to be a personal attack or equally importantly taken as a personal attack, arguing is great. There's a whole bunch of Gun Toting Right Wing Fruit Loops out there who need re-educating into the way of the Care Bear Hug'n'Share Liberal Left Wing Weener. And I'll get you all, one by one if I have to :D

We do have a great bunch of mods here (suck up? moi?) who do step in from time to time when it does get personal and out of hand, but this forum is something of an oasis of reasonable rational, heated sure, but non-personal argument in the internet which is otherwise flooded by threads that devolve into purile abuse within the first page.

[SoulKiss]

out of interest what was it for?

we dont talk about that :)

[blueto]

we dont talk about that :)
:confused: ok.....

why dont we talk about that???? (joke sorry couldent resist)

[DanAbnormal]

Oooh, is this like one of those talks I get about my race can Mr Blueto?? :smt040

While I agree with some of the comments here I sure hope I've never seriously offended anyone in the past. Sometimes it's all too easy to misunderstand the intent of a post. That's the thing about online forums, people will always end up getting offended somewhere along the line. That said I do try to keep things civil, no one should take anything I post all that seriously anyway. :rolleyes:

Peace.

There was a case recently where someone posted information on his Blog. This was then taken (supposedly) the wrong way, and the person was taken to court.

At every step of the process (to my understanding anyway), they apologised, and offered to retract the statements made, and even write an apology.

That person ended up with a fine from the courts, and a criminal conviction. For posting on a blog!!

Not if I pop in you in the head with my right wing 9mm once you dont come to our way of thinking ;):smt008

Its the internet you can turn it off.

I dont want this site becoming a namby pamby, lilly livered liberal site where you can't express an opinion because you are afraid you'll upset somebody.

Debate, disagreement, conversation and sometimes arguement is all good. Theres a difference between this, what construes as banter and what is blatant personal attacks and name calling.

Some peeps on here have forthright and strongly held opinions, I might not agree with what they say, but I'll defend their right to say it. Whether I like it or not.

If you dont like something report it to a mod, dont start a thread moaning about it, its not productive and doesnt really solve anything.

People get banned, but they have to seriously seriously cross the line of whats acceptable behaviour after repeated warnings before it happens.

How was that :D

[fizzwheel]

im not saying that. Im just looking out for peoples feelings.

Perhaps they dont want you to do that, If somebody was offended by a thread or a post, they should report it to a mod and let the mod deal with it.

What we dont need is people taking offense on somebody elses behalf when the person the thread or post that you didnt like was directed wasnt actually offended by it in the first place.

[blueto]

LOL.....thats a ggod statement. Id say my bike was the cleanest bike on the org.....as for my mum?.......Ill ask my dad later!:D

The thing sometimes is that observers don't always know when posters know each other personally and something that looks off is just acceptable banter.

hmm yeah that kinda happened with the Quiff and Shell thread, got well out of hand did that, lost a good member because of it :rolleyes:

I bite my thumb in your general direction...

Do you bite your thumb at us sir? No, sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, sir, but I bite my thumb, sir! :lol:

Time passes in moments, which, rushing by, define the path of a life just as surely as they lead towards its end. How rarely do we stop to examine that path, to see the reasons why all things happen?

I have the odd strong opinion and a tendency to "share" them.......but I don't get offended that few others share them (actually I am mostly relieved on that one!)...........but I do forget now and again that some folk do take stuff on the internet way too seriously.......and some can't even understand what they read.........

IMO this is a very useful and enjoyable forum - so I banned myself for a week following a recent thread that had predictable outcome written all over it, for me at least :smt094.....and funnily enuf I have forgotten what the subject was about, let alone who......as usually happens :D

[yorkie_chris]

There's a whole bunch of Gun Toting Right Wing Fruit Loops out there who need re-educating into the way of the Care Bear Hug'n'Share Liberal Left Wing Weener.

Likewise, I'm trying to reeducate all these longhaired wierd-beard hippies before someone less tolerant than me gives them a slap! :-P

Its the internet you can turn it off.

I might not agree with what they say, but I'll defend their right to say it. Whether I like it or not.

+1 if anyone got #that# badly offended they would go and play monopoly or report it to one of the mods or something...


im not saying that. Im just looking out for peoples feelings.

Not reaaallly any useful point to that though is there?

It's one thing being an ar$e, offensive, threatening etc. But disagreement is what keeps things interesting, and allows us all to actually learn something from time to time...

other than that... love and peace man :D

[yorkie_chris]

Well that's a fair point...

Though you should be observing round corners well enough to avoid sliding around in it. You must admit that it is far more fun to be able to choose a line around a corner without having to avoid crap. Responsible dog owners carry plastic bags around with them :-P

[dizzyblonde]

. Responsible dog owners carry plastic bags around with them :-P

yes, true, but some leave said little bag hangin on a bush, thus creating offense to other peeps/and/or other dog owners

[laptraffic]

Personally, I've noted just a good balance of cynicism and banter....keeps it lively without too much pandering. To prove my point..I call for a group hug!
Then as I throw my arms around you I'm going to administer a "Super-wedgie" to balance it all out.
To lighten the mood I'll throw this at you....stop me if you've heard it more than once;

They don't call him a "Super Moderator" for nothing!
Well done Fizz. :smt023

Actually I think this is THE BEST forum on the net.
Most members here tend to moderate themselves very well and get along with each other better than any other forum I've seen.
When someone does post something a little off the cuff, most people here simply ignore it and go on rather than jumping into or starting an argument.

Besides ...How boring would it be if we all had the opinion about everything???

agree....

PEOPLE HAVE so taken the first post in the wrong context.

Recently the org lost a good memebr becasue of somebody else. The person that left must have really felt something if the feelings were strong enough for them to leave.

That was the point...and it had been noticed elsewhere.

Im alll for taking the pi$$ but here is a level before u cross the line which some people do.
