Yet again another topic which tries in vain to make some change to the board but its stomped on by stupid comments. How many of these posts have we seen in the last few months, there must have been four or five posts trying to highlight the problems and encourage people to make a difference. But these posts just turn into every other post on this board, after about the 2nd page it becomes worthless with people (not naming names here) coming out with stupid things such as have a drink or chill out, and in some cases get a bong. What is the point in these posts if they are to end up as every other post on this board. This board can ONLY change for the better if everyone on the board wants it to. And for some people being nice, being helpful and being polite and tolerant is just too much like hard work because it is not them naturally. Mods can punish all day long ban people etc.. but what will happen people will just start acting up more about banning happening, think of AJ shes been gone months yet at every opportunity people try and bring the topic up and put the Mods down. They've done the right thing for the board so stand by their decision, just because shes not on the board posting does not mean you can't still talk to her outside the board. What is done by the mods, punishing people, deleting stupid threads and tard farming is for the good of the board and is not personal against the people who make trouble.

Ive said time and again, if people post questions which you feel are silly, and your normal response would be to tell them to search or make an attack well don't! Stay out of it. Someone else on the board will have the patience to answer the same questions time and again even if you can't so stay out. If you can answer the question and are not going to make an attack, then answer it and put kindly at the bottom that there is a wealth of knowledge on this site and by using the search function you may find the answer to future questions quicker and more easily than posting.

I have been reading a post just 2 minutes ago in which the author was asking people to stay on topic, that shouldn't need to happen. If they asked a genuine question then answer it and resolve the problem before going off topic if you can't start another thread in the appropriate place on the board.

This is the last time i will respond to posts trying to make this board better because it is clearly up to the members to sort themselves out, and these posts do not seem to make any impression what so ever, they bring up the same comments time and again from people saying yea i agree lets make a change etc... then nothing happens. As i said people are stuck in their ways and unwilling to change to make this board a better place.

Keep up the good work Mods, get stricter and get harsher and eventually the message will come across even if members are lost along the way the board will be better in the end.

Out of the mouths of babes.... (and I mean that in the BEST way  )... 

Yours is a most sensible, logical, practical, and intelligent post, Kasumi. I hope you'll continue to contribute even when things get tough around here, because we can NEVER have too much sensible, logical input.

Mutual respect has grown a bit lacking lately, but I think everyone's going to work a little harder at it.
