What's going on..

Post by LustInBlack »

Well this forum seem to be out of control, and I'm dragged into it..

Sometimes it entertains, but I am asking, where is Scott !? ..

I like the rep system, but it does not do the job right.. Someone who should be banned, I believe should stay maximum 1 week..

I personally am against all form of ads.. The fact that someone who should be banned has the privilege/accessibility to have a signature or to enhance his account should, in my opinion, be disallowed ..

Anyways.. I do my share of flaming on the forum, I admit it.. But it looks like I am not the only one, and this is getting out of control.. I can't even control myself .. ;P

Something to fill the void when your 'tube-locked' and cannot come up with any new ideas!

Lib,
I can't even control myself
Let an elder tell you a story with an obvious 'moral'

An old bull and a young bull are standing on a hillside looking down upon green pastures. There are numerous young heifers to be seen.

The young bull says " lets run down and get a little of that" The older bull says" No, lets walk down and get a lot of that!"

Hi LiB,

I understand your concerns but let me give you another perspective. I would rather foster an environment where people are encouraged to amend their behavior and work within the system than one where they are encouraged to continue their bad behavior and find ways around the system.

Banning someone is always a double edged sword because it usually just results in the perpetrator creating new account(s) and a cat and mouse game for which I don't have time and of which I am quite bored.

Up to now, from my perspective, you have been part of the problem too. I noticed that you changed many of your recent posts to "no comment." That is definitely a step in the right direction and I appreciate it. I don't know what you said in those posts before the change but I'm fairly sure it was not constructive. If you think someone is a troll, there is wisdom in the old Internet adage: "Don't feed the trolls."

And as many have said, I have already worked hard to give you the ability to block people you don't like and customize your besslerwheel.com experience to your own liking.

As for advertising in signatures it is in fact a loophole in the Terms of Use which needs to be resolved. I will start another thread on that.

-Scott
