Re: SALVAGING OUR REPUTATION |

Each new day is a chance to turn it all around.

Are you dreaming?
OK, Seeker deleted my post, it was "inflamitory". Well, I suppose this time I'll just say I hope we manage to get the reputation we deserve, and that's a good one. |

ok you need to understand... we pandered to padfoot. it's gone now but when the kid started posting in the TTT technique thread we were accommodating to an extent... but when the kid started flaming on members who were trying to help and then mods, while taking the thread completely off topic (it was an established and helpful thread), as well as posting about 40 times within 5 pages... opinions were formed concerning him. he took it too far in my opinion. |

clear eyes. strong hands.
I would like to take this opportunity to invite each of you to talk honestly with the moderators or admins. |

you must be the change you wish to see in the world...

Ignorant bliss is an oxymoron; but so is miserable truth.

hrm. based on what i've heard and read this wasn't an isolated issue (in regards to padfoot). please bear in mind that i was absent during the whole padfoot fiasco, and don't know what really happened at all. personally, i feel whatever he did is completely irrelevant; apparently he's only 9 years old, thus it would be quite irresponsible of us to allow him to continue to use our forum: some of the topics discussed here encompass adult-themes, and quite honestly i don't think a 9 year old needs to be exposed to them. the age restriction is not simply to alleviate us from the burden of the more immature; it's for their best interests as well. we could certainly consider accommodating the younger and providing them their own forum in which they could dwell (while denying access to the remainder of the board). Regardless, let's please not discuss that incident anymore, and instead focus on my request. |

Ok, Well, I say delete all of these "unfriendly" posts. All of the "we hate padfoot" and the "post whore" thread. Gone. Forgot about. What about that? |

I say we apologize other than delete threads, at least that would be the "right" thing to do. |

NB: This is just my opinon. |

I agree with Kaniaz, I don't believe we are being unfriendly at all. I do however admit that at times I am a bit jaded, and instead of giving the newbs the warm welcome I generally do, I just tell them to check out the tutorials, site, etc. or something else that might not be categorized as a real friendly and warm behavior. I will try to keep this to a minimum. Sometimes we are not the friendliest bunch, but that is generally only when we feel one of our own has been insulted or such. That is when everyone gangs up on a certain individual. |

If I hadn't made me
I'd be more inclined to bow
Powers that be would have swallowed me up
But that's more than I can allow...

I have received many complaints from newcomers and even some people who have been around for a little about pedantic behaviour, and also arrogance. |
|
I'll have to start to categorize some kind of FAQ, perhaps with the help of some members, so that we can direct new people to that and specific parts of the FAQ that are relevant, and post that in a friendly way, because I realise now, alot of people interested in this subject havent visited any sort of messageboard in their lives before. |
|
As far as I understand, we already have one by lowercase society...Maybe we can help expand it, though. |

There may be a lot of slander between the forum members that have been here since the beginning, as a result some of the things said, While not taken offensivley to the person you are "joking" with, some of the newbies may think otherwise. My friend, who is a member said he does not feel comfortable in this forum becuace he does not feel in the click. (The group) |
|
I don't think I was rude to any of the newbies, but I will be patient with them in the future and try to help them in anyway. |

Curiosity killed the cat but at least it didnt die an ignorant bastard

In my opinion, the Paperdoll EP thread was a possible no-no for newbies. |
