Really? Here is a forum where everyone posts whatever they want. The moderators have lost control, and some have even joined in. It is an ebay UK furum. Gumtree is the UK version of Kijiji. This forum stared as a general interest forum and resulted in this mess.

 Maybe there's another group, much larger who want heavy duty moderating.  What you want and believe in, and what I want and believe in may not be necessarily right.  I stand up for what I believe in but I am open to the possibility that I'm not right in what I believe in too.  Did I boggle your mind?

It's just that so many times I've stood my ground on issues I honestly thought were the only way of thinking only to find out there was something minute that I wasn't taking into consideration and I wasn't totally right.  Now I'm sure I've boggled your mind.

I have to attend quite a few seminars every year.  I used to think what a waste.  Many years later, I can see that each seminar I attended, I got something out of it.

I'm not always right.

Presently, in here and in relation to the discussion, I don't agree with what went on, but I am not sure if it was the right thing to do or the wrong thing to do.  It's way too big a question for me to form an opinion on that.  IMO of course.

AND......being a Grammie among other things, I've learned how to listen which is a wonderful gift in life. Sometimes by just listening......asking questions back.....is a gift to someone else. <---- thus my reason for not wanting that topic deleted.  I had a pile of soft questions to ask the dude.  I was hurt because he showed hatred, but I thought maybe by questions to him, he might hear himself. slash end of rambling.....

...just a little something to spin around in your head eh...

and.....learning my way around in here, these forums belong to something or someone?  I think something.....moncton.net.  We don't pay.  They're free.  They knighted Paladin as moderator. They gave him and us, the free loaders those rules (some which are cavemanish IMO) but it's their call.   It's not how I would run things, but that's how it is.

Its a forum. Why not use your voice to evoke change in a more important area? It is Moncton.net's forum. They set the rules. Don't like the rules move on,thats how I take it. That simple.
Some of us like the rules.

So....one.....what can a free poster do to change things other than just posting about wanting changes in the forum itself?

I never laughed so hard in my life, as watching those of you complaing about the Rules.

 

Feel better now?

Guess what ?

You changed nothing.

You all talked big,, but lets see you put it into play.

Who will be the first to challenge Moncton.net on the Rules here?

Who has the balls to put their money where their mouth is?

This should be a hoot.  

I was here for over a year before I even knew there were rules.

That's because you are a good boy willie no one complains about you.

Trust me when I say I've had a few bad nights here where I've probably broken a few rules.

Remember yesterday, respect tomorrow, live for today.

When posting in online  forums, adhere to the following guidelines to ensure you get the most out of your  online  experience.

Rule 1: Argue! This is absolutely the most important rule of posting in any online forum and many of the other rules are based upon it. Be sure to start an argument whenever the opportunity presents itself. In fact, even if the opportunity doesn't present itself, argue anyway. After all, people don't come to message boards to share ideas, have polite discussions, or learn new   things; they're there stricly for the non-stop arguments so be sure not to disappoint. Also, be sure not to back up your arguments with any facts.

Rule 2: Flame other posters. This rule goes hand in hand with rule 1. You're already starting an argument, so why not insult someone while you're at it? Don't just disagree with the previous poster's post; make it personal! If member John293 creates a topic about why he feels the war in Iraq  was uneccesary, you should respond with "No John, the war  was right and you're stupid for thinking otherwise." Better yet, throw in an insult that has nothing to do with the topic of discussion and make sure it's an insult about their appearance or something in their personal life you couldn't possibly know anything about. Take the previous example about user John293's anti-war post. An even better response would be "No john, the war  was right and you're ugly."

Rule 3: Never, under any circumstances,use proper spelling and grammar. Doing so will only confirm that you are a nerd. Instead you should shorten three letter words such as you and are and express them as single letters like U and R. Be sure to substitute as many letters in a word as you can with numbers. Spell these words wrong as well. For example, instead of typing "I Like to eat," you should type "i L31k 2 34t." Also remember to never ever begin a sentence with a capital letter. This will only make your sentences easier to understand and in turn easier for whomever you're
