Let's stick to the subject people!

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm fed up with threads on this board being derailed by troublemakers. I wanted to contact the Board Guides directly but I need a ticket number which I don't know how to get.

Anyway, can we all please, please make every effort to keep threads on topic without veering into online fights, name calling and sheer bloody vindictiveness?

We all know there is a particular poster who is repeatedly being banned but popping up again and again. So instead of engaging them, let's all ignore them - no matter how personal they get.

I'm getting to the point of never wanting to come on this board again - it's not serving it's purpose any more.

Anyway, sermon over! Enjoy the rest of your day! :)

  • I find it all quite entertaining! I think wallies like the one that keeps popping up on this board make it all the more interesting.

    This post is so pointless. Leave the board guilds alone if you have a problem that is what the report / spam button is for, they have enough to do without you adding to it with your personal e-mails how your never going to use MSE again if they don't do something.. :/
    People don't know what they want until you show them.
  • I know what you mean fufu! I found it entertaining myself and even engaged in the spat at one point but it's gotten out of hand and beyond silly. Tiresome I guess.

    & this is untrue. This board gives so much help to people in need - just because a few are trolling doesn't change the fact how much help people receive and good advice is given here.

    And please stick to the subject yes...this is an employment board. Their is a section for making the forums better.

    I never said I wasn't going to use MSE again. And Im not having a pop at the board guides - that's not what this is about at all.

    That's true but these troll posts have a way of taking over.

    Thank you Kayalana - I wasn't aware if this section. The only reason I posted in this particular board was because this is where most of the trouble is happening.

    I'm aware I seem overly harsh - I know you mean well but it's contradictory to say keep subjects on topic when you yourself are making a post about it.

    I'm sure MSE team is well aware of the problems but I do think it's overly harsh and not correct - your telling us to ignore them but in another step your telling us this board has lost its way and you don't like coming here because of the trolls which again, is contradictory to the fact you are not ignoring them and they are affecting you - which is what they want.

    This board in general helps a lot of people, but most the people that come here know how take it on the chin as we all know how simple topics can get out of hand as people are anonymous and can say whatever they want without being known.

    As with life - you have to take the good with the bad, I don't think it's a problem that can be fixed - where they're fourms to spam trolls will follow...and they will find a way around any systems that are put in place.

    It's hardly spam, to be fair. I'm a bit wary that this thread looks like it could end up in arguments so hope I'm not adding to that possibility.

    No I think i'm done ranting now. :o
