Forums becoming unbelievable

[skrogman]

I do enjoy this site, but am having second thoughts.  I am beginning to think that I am going to start coming in and doing the offers and the dailies and that the 3 dollar posting bonus may or may not even be worth it any more.  I am getting tired of seeing people cut down and degraded all for the sake of three little dollars.  It will take a lot of hard work to make up for that missing three dollars, but it may be worth it just to avoid the drama.  I don't know, it's just something that is crawling under my skin and I am thinking about.  It was nice that that one eighth of the requirement was so easy, though.

You don't have to response to everyone, just the one you would like to and give some good advice.  I do not and won't talk about others and their believes because it does not matter, everyone have an opinion.

I have found the VERY BEST thing to do on Forum is to click on the IGNORE button under their names and you don't have to even be tempted to read these posts.  Besides, there is no point in even trying to answer their posts.  It doesn't change anything - just stirs it up even more.  I am on a campaign to use the IGNORE button.  If everyone who is bothered by anyone would just IGNORE them, this would be a much happier place.  Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.

Hmm I didn't know we had a ignore button, but yeah I wouldn't let a few negative people stop you from coming here. Focus on the positive or polite users.

Some people just don't have a life and can be very hateful. Don't let it bother you. Just do your postings and forget about it. I believe that what goes around comes around as a balance of experiences. Let people be who they are...they are the ones that have to live with the consequences. May peace and joy be yours today.

  Actually, 30 posts or more in a month that is not guaranteed for approval. I know that and i accept that first, so that meant I don't think that big deal. It is fine. I will wait and do it again until I can get that.

It's a shame anyone should have to any question whether or not to leave a forum for issues that happen.  If you are seriously questioning it, I agree with the suggestions already given prior to my post here. 

The Ignore Button is a "blessing" in some respects, and will help you skip over the negativity.  For some, it works.  I know there are strong suggestions for many of us, including me, to use it, and I'm still praying about it for myself.  On one hand, it would be more peaceful.  On the other hand, there are still others who are being bothered, especially newbies, who have no idea what in the world is going on.  I feel bad for them having to face that in a forum that they thought they would come in to enjoy, especially with topics of interest shared with others.

Just try to hang in there and enjoy posting in threads you enjoy, even if you have to use the Ignore Button at times.  There are many people in here who enjoy this forum and will continue to, with different ideas and topics.

I have to say,I've never seen such a classless bunch on any other message board in my life.There is no excuse for the persecution and downright rudeness that's been show here on a regular basis.

Never in my life have I ever put more than one person on ignore,yet on this site,the figure is running into the double digits.I can only imagine the stuff is going to hit the fan eventually.One way or another management must deal with the un-civil civil war that's been going on since Falcon started his crusade over a year ago.


I'm personally fed up posting in such a toxic environment,and am considering putting anyone who so much as quotes these clowns on ignore.Anything to recieve some

Don't stop reading/writing on the forum.  There will always be people who's opinions you don't agree with.  This happens on the forum and in real life.  Just ignore them and when you see it's something you don't agree with, stop reading and go to another discussion.  Stopping the forum is just like cutting off your nose to spite yourself.  People will never agree with each other 100% of the time, read and answer only the ones you like and ignore those you don't.

A lot of people feel this way but don't let anyone stop you from doing what you want to do. Just don't  pay it no mind. Yeah it's only 3 dollars but this is suppose to be in fun  while making extra money. I have read some stuff people have written  that got under my skin  and made a comment about it once. These people are doing it on purpose and I believe they know their getting under people's skin and enjoy it. Just pay it no mind don't respond or read their post. Memorize their names.

I agree..  Some of the posts in the forums have become rude and obnoxious.  I haven't been in FC for more than a year but each day it seems a bit harder and harder to come across a post I really would like to put my 2 cents worth into.  I'm glad to see this thread having been started though...I had just read about the ignore button a few days ago and thank goodness...I'll be putting that to good use soon.  I like FC so much and many folks here are good and great points have been made.  I would hate to see the forums get shut down (worst case scenario) because of blatant immaturity.

Life is to short. Smile if they smile back you made someones day and if they dont oh well. Keep the faith.

[jwallbank]

I find the forum helpful, you can always use the ignore button for anyone that you don't like reading their posts. This should be a helpful area for people to get their questions answered. Don't spoil that just because of a few.

Being judged by others means that your that important that they have the time to think about you and talk about you.
