Considering the long list of things people as a collective don't like on the forums. (such as lamp post pissing, flirting, emojis, etc etc)
What would you be left with in order to keep everyone happy? |

You can't please all of the people all of the time...the parts you (generic you, not you personally OP) don't like are easily avoided. Different people will avoid different things, but ultimately there's something enjoyable for everyone |

Agreed. Keep it as it is. I might eyeroll occasionally, we all will at some point, but you can't ever make everyone happy. |

I like forums as they are mostly sometimes i wish you had to finish a forum thread on a specific topic before another was allowed to be started on the same topic  |

Be yourself, don't be a sheep
There's lots and lots of sheep on the forums
That statement is not aimed at anyone in particular
Keep it real
Go hard or go home |

I'm not here for boring! Yeah certain things can get a bit much and sometimes people should think before posting, but end of the day that's what is so great about the forums. I've met most of my friends and a few meets through the forums, and made me aware of some people I wouldn't want to meet. So it's added to my hot list and my block list. |

Be yourself on here. Some will agree with you some won't .A lot will ignore you and that's just normal on here .
I've very little that annoys me on here anymore the main two are hypocrites tho they say one thing while doing exactly what they lecture about and guys who white knight all the time. I mean does that ever actually work for them .I don't mind men agreeing with women on here on things but it's those that run in agree with every woman when they moan about men no matter how obscure or nasty the woman is they will side with them every time and put men down. |

I would say don't use the forums to get around filters. I see a few comments like I would message you but old/young, block led all men etc. I get you might to for a forum game but it's not the best etiquette  |

Forums - just my view are about exchange of information - maybe discussing experiences which some but not all may find of value.
Forums are by their nature across the board moanfests
Fab forums are about are moaning and getting attention mostly. People change their viewpoint depending on who they think they will get the attention. Post things that will appeal to others. They say things they think will appeal to certain others, others lap it up
Just my viewpoint
If you want to get to no people isn't that what chat is for?
I try and post things and share experiences that people may take something away from or help others.
For me forums as I said are about exchange of experiences that may help others.
My view of what forums should be about |

I (me, just me and no one else) think (the thought in my head right at this moment which may or not change over time) we (collective which may or may not include every forum user) should qualify (really really explain) everything (yes EVERYTHING but sometimes not all things) which is typed (words on a screen strung together in what may or may not be in a syntatically coherent form). |

I’m fascinated by this oft mentioned “lamppost pissing”. I don’t see it. How is it others say it happens often but I keep missing it. 
Is it something only ‘insiders’ can spot? |

"Do be yourself
Don't be a dick"
Unfortunately this is purely subjective, I am always myself - I never try to be something I'm not unlike many. Unfortunately I'm often ostracised for being myself. How do you determine if you're being a dick or not? Isn't that again subjective and the criteria individuals interpretation of being a dick and the the ability to convince others that you're a dick based in on their own surmisation, prejudices and biases .

I'm not an insider. Far from it as I know very few people on the site and rarely chat to anyone but it's pretty obvious at times because it's usually not very subtle. A bit like cockblocking that is also prevalent in some threads and the tribute threads clearly designed to show that some are in with the in crowd. |

I've never thought you come across as a dick. You seem thoughtful and considerate. |

I'm a bit of a "Johnny come lately" to the forums, but I try to be as flippant as possible and exercise extreme sarcasm where possible. I appreciate this may not be everyone's cup of tea but it's what I want out of it. Each to their own and all that. |

You can't keep everyone happy, someone will always be offended or looking for an argument.
Only way to treat the forums is don't take things too personally and have a sense of humour |

Tbh the only things that really annoyed me was forum people messaging other people about me asking them stuff rather than asking me to my face which is why I left before. Would rather people ask me direct. I respect that over gossips because most were wrong in their assumptions |

Honestly I think this one depends. I personally have multiple times had interactions with people on the forums where either I or they are trying to message, often about a forum topic instead of taking over the post with our conversation but can't due to filters and we've used the forum to figure it out between us and had a great conversation by message in the end. I personally don't have an issue with people asking me in the forums if they can message me privately, I just ignore it if I don't want to but most of the time I've been happy to. If someone repeatedly replied to me about wanting to message me though, especially if it was in random posts rather than during a conversation on a topic, I would probably block them and then report it if they still continued. |

I carry on regardless and if I annoy people so be it. I'll just do me.
But it does amuse me what people don't like and if you tried to keep everyone happy it would be so boring.
I just wondered what would be left. I can't think of much. It would be terribly well spoken P's and Q' and PC tame conversation surely? |

I guess, but in the context I was referring to, it was mostly in a forum game or if they did want to talk about the conversation topic of the forum thread, they would have the common sense to mention that in their post in my opinion. |

I am curious the word in this thread and many other keeps cropping up, "negative".
"Don't be negative"
"Your being negative"
"negative Forum posters"
What is being negative?
What does it actually mean, given that it is surely subjective or from certain perspective only?
Just curious

If there's no brown nosing it's negative. |

You can’t keep everyone happy and you shouldn’t try either.
Yes take others into consideration and don’t act to be directly injurious to others but the person that you most need to look after is yourself.
There are so many varied approaches to posting on here and so many judge others on their own value systems, that it’s impossible to please everyone. If you tried then there would be no point in posting or you would contradict yourself within minutes |
