quote: ORIGINAL: domahpet currently, on another thread, a 19yr old pregnant girl is being shredded by the very same one that started all this bs. three pages and it hasnt been pulled yet, and it dosent seem that the shredder is being moderated. now im more confused then ever, how can i try to moderate myself (properly) with this for an example? did you report the offensive posts? or are the moderators supposed to be able to read EVERYTHING? or are they supposed to have superpowers that tell them where the offensive posting is going on? the "report" link is there for a reason" and they do get to it quickly if there is really something offensive going on...

domahpet -> RE: Thread Hijacking (2/3/2008 4:50:21 PM)
i believe its been reported a couple of times so far... yea

I don't understand the logic or thought process behind yanking/deleting chunks of a thread. Specifically the preg/sub thread, I do not understand why some posts got pulled and others did not?Doesn't pulling those posts actually encourage the behaviour even more? Since it isn't seen anymore, context is gone.I'm confused. [&:]

quote: ORIGINAL: Jeffff There is a difference between high jacking and giving an honest response. Yes I have Hi jacked, and Yes I thought it was funny. I can acknowledge that it is not appreciated. But to expect every question or thought, no matter how silly to be met with sweetness and light is unrealistic and naive. Jeff Come on Jeffff...you know that there is a difference between expecting to be met with sweetness and light to every post you make and expecting to be met with well-stated agreement, disagreement, or another path of consideration.

Jeffff -> RE: Thread Hijacking (2/4/2008 7:56:26 AM)
The point is actually moot. The rules of engagement have changed. We can either follow them, or be moderated and or banned. I can handle it. I put my big boy pants on everyday..:) Jeff

If you engage in hostilities, you have to be prepared to take the heat, don't you. If you don't like it, as we've said all along on this thread, nothing stops you from leaving the website, which is exactly what you're proposing on your post above. It looks awfully as though you were trying to hijack this current thread in order to pursue your own agenda. Please tell us it isn't so?

The amusing thing, is that I am never hostile, you and your kind think people are hostile who disagree with your myopic views of the world and when you feel excluded from those who have fun with each other here. Otherwise, there would have been no talk of "popular girls", "ladies auxiliary clubs" etc. Tough being left out, huh? So, no I am not leaving. I am just not going to engage with the less intelligent denizens who inhabit this place, such as you. I also learned that blocking is our friend. So no agenda, babe, just wanted to throw my thoughts in when I read the crap on the other thread.

I think one of the challenges Mod11 is facing is walking the subtle line between allowing/encouraging the contructive discussion while separating the noise. That thread itself is of interest to many, and I find it very educational to learn the extreme discrepancy of views. My mouth dropped when I read some of the attitudes people had, but the value I found in the thread was just that; educating myself on how extreme the views at either end of the spectrum were.

You just join in, throw some friendly and playful remarks around for a short while, and suddenly you're in. Not very discrimination at all. I don't think anyone feels left out because they could join in really easilly if they chose to. I could care less about the 'club', I think it's frikken great that you all like one another's interaction. My only issue is that the 'club' takes up a lot of space talking off topic in interesting threads. 1 of you posts a 1 line off topic zinger, three of you respond, each of you respond to the responses, and before you know it there are a couple of pages of the group of you giving each other 'props' and the original topic is drowned out. All I'd like to see is it toned down a bit. It doesn't have to disappear, I don't dislike the individuals, I just find the dynamic causes congestion and makes it more difficult to have reasonable discussions.

"The group I playfully refer to as the CollarMe Women's Auxilliary seem to feel most every thread is a welcome place for their insessant off topic chat with one another." some of us read that thread, took it and made it ours, nothing more than that. guess what? if you have *ever* gone off topic on a thread, and youre a woman, you are already a member! Congrats! Please be welcome and feel free to add the sigline to your own profile :) and please pull your claws back, i post this with good humor in my heart

SubbieOnWheels -> RE: Thread Hijacking (2/4/2008 9:26:00 AM)
Good grief! Nineteen pages of discussion, and the same things are still being said. I've stayed quiet for a while, collecting thoughts. So, here is what has surfaced in my feeble brain: I have understood "Off-Topic Discussion" to mean discussion of matters not directly related to BDSM - like religion, politics, and sports - things that don't fit into the categories in the main forum groups. It doesn't, to me, mean that any thread in the forum is available for dragging off its original topic. I have no problem with "topic drift." It happens in oral conversation; it will happen in online conversation. No harm, no foul. My problem is with posts that take issue, not with the content of the post but with the poster. And just because the name-calling is in the third person, it is no less hurtful. To see a string of posts referring to the OP as "a wanking troll wannabe," followed by another string wondering why the OP didn't stick around to answer questions, makes me feel anger on behalf of the OP. Yes, I usually stop reading the thread at that point, as I suspect the OP has also done. Congratulations - you have at that point killed the thread, or at least the thread as was originally intended; it is now free for you to use as a playground. I'm not going to name names, nor am I going to designate any so-called "club" of "nasty friends" that are guilty of this practice. I suspect that the makeup of the guilty parties is different in each case. Gang mentality takes many forms, and if I've gotten swept up in it from time to time, I try to make amends and learn to be more of an independent thinker in the future.

quote: ORIGINAL: sexyred1 The amusing thing, is that I am never hostile, you and your kind think people are hostile who disagree with your myopic views of the world and when you feel excluded from those who have fun with each other here Best I can recall, you have responded directly to me on a grand total of about two threads. Both times, your first and only response was to be rude and hostile. Not because we had previously argued or I had insulted you in some way in the past. Nope. Just straight out the gate, you spew out anger and disrespect. So, yes there is something very amusing alright. The fact that you never cease to project onto others the exact same behaviors you consistently exhibit. "You and your kind" are the ones who are hostile for simply having been disagreed with, even in polite ways. As far as feeling "excluded," there is no feeling of that. Anyone can be included in the girlie group if they're willing to check their IQ at the door. No thanks. quote: Otherwise, there would have been no talk of "popular girls", "ladies auxiliary clubs" etc. Tough being left out, huh? It's tough when it's a group you wish to be a part of, sure. The talk of "auxilary clubs" and all that was a sharp, witty observation about the nonsense that goes on in thread after thread. quote: I am just not going to engage with the less intelligent denizens who inhabit this place, such as you Say what you will about kittensol but calling her "less intelligent" is really laughable. Have you read any of her posts in the Off Topic boards? She doesn't just talk about imaginary, online disco bashes and jello wrestling. She actually reads and knows real stuff[;)]. As do many others outside of the group you hang with. You mentioned on another thread today that you're blocking the "trash" from those who are "delusional." Guess this means you can't see your own posts now 'cause you have got to be one of the MOST delusional posters I've ever read here. Since I dared to have an opinion you don't like, I suppose my "trash"y posts are now blocked. Cool. Have one of the auxillary group give you the low-down[;)].............luci

I am still not going to eat those words. I stand by them. I am not, nor have I ever been jealous or felt excluded from any clique here. Sexyred, you know what I mean, I am not that kind of girl and you know it. :) I was making a point of what a group of you and this means you, do when one girl posts who you do not like. You are one of the popular girls as I put it, nothing to ever be ashamed about being popular..I don't need a membership card to be in that group. Sheesh nothing like my words coming back to bite my ass [8\|]

quote: ORIGINAL: kittinSol Woah, luci... I'm in awe. I don't know what to say... except thank you. Well, it's the truth. You and I have had our differences, God knows. But we fought like cats and dogs in those threads and moved on. It did not become personal. You are one of a handful of posters who can be relied upon to actually give informed, educated responses on threads about world issues. Everyone can state their own preferences, likes, etc. but on threads about the big issues, it's easy to see that you read, stay informed, and can express the knowledge you have accumulated very eloquently. Anyone can blather on about nonsense. Not everyone can "hang" in the "smart" threads. I try but can't always do it[&o]. You are one of the few who can. I think that's worth pointing out when one of the more well-known ninnies around here calls you one of the "less intelligent denizens." Puhleeze. Talk about delusional[8D]............luci

ModeratorEleven -> RE: Thread Hijacking (2/4/2008 6:14:02 PM)
Ok folks, it's time to drop this. Take a deep breath and move on. XI
