So why do some OPs give posters abuse and rudeness for no reason? Is it because they feel safe behind a keyboard or they are they actually like this in real life? Interested in reading your thoughts.

Because people know they can troll you into saying something that can get you banned.

Even though trolling is against the rules, the people trolling will never get banned if they elicit a rule breaking post out of you.

I think most of us who regularly contribute to the forums know most of those who are reliably good fun and natured. The minute a thread comes up that looks a bit dodgy I’ll always have a look because nine times out of ten the op is looking for a reaction

Quite often it's the posters' way of commenting that determines how the thread goes. Some people have to be sarcastic or acidic in their responses and turns a thread toxic.

I've noticed it's single men who aren't regular posters who get the worse responses.

I'm not sure how you know if people have been banned or not.

If you break forum rules and its reported or a mod sees it you will be banned. Saying you were goaded in to it is no excuse.

Cool. Just an observation must be coincidence. Yes my idea would be why not have a couple of forums that are for solely as I'd say the life's a bowl of cherries brigade and a few that allow debate n people to discuss things as long as not go to far..

Having been a member of countless foums over the years ranging from photography through D&D to BDSM (and a whole selection in between) I’ve noticed they tend to follow a common theme. Someone posts, if that post ellicits positive responses innevitably someone will post a negative comment. They seem to do so in order to garner more posts in their favour (I’m guessing it’s some kind of ego boost for them). But also innevitably, the negative comment poster either then sits back to bask in all the support they are getting or slinks away silently if they’ve failed.

No this was forum regulars at the time who subsequently have either left, no longer use the forum or I’ve got to understand their politic and ascerbic style.

Maybe if people called them out on it they'd realise what they were doing.

I've said something on 2 different threads this week. One thread died a death soon after- so the popcorn wolves probably fucked off to harrass someone else instead.

Unfortunately calling them out can lead to the naughty step. Some try to goad others into that.

"Id say this is a reaction to another thread.

Is it Anger?

Frustration?

Or a Rant?

The OP of other thread this is a spin off to might have a point

Not a spin off but I have seen a lot of this on the forums of late and genuinely interested to find out why. Cool. Just an observation must be coincidence. Yes my idea would be why not have a couple of forums that are for solely as I'd say the life's a bowl of cherries brigade and a few that allow debate n people to discuss things as long as not go to far..

Debating can be done in a civilised, adult manner.

I get that people have bad days, but some are just on a permanent rant everytime they post. "

I agree with you . And some are watching to snap at particular person for no reason . I get that a lot in forums especially from one couple .I don’t understand why as they don’t even know me nor I know them .

It’s very childish

I'm not sure why the forums are meant to be friendly? It's a forum where people can be whatever they like surely as long as they aren't abusing anyone. I quite like the arguments that spring up in random threads, its more entertaining than people being nice to each other anyway

If you knew the reason would it make sense? Perception can play tricks with anybody's mind. Forums are all about opinions...

"So why do some OPs give posters abuse and rudeness for no reason? Is it because they feel safe behind a keyboard or they are they actually like this in real life?"

December and January were rough months. Pre and post Christmas blues and a lot of tension about, probably due to everyone doing family stuff instead of dropping their knickers everywhere.

There are some threads where the op can post something that has been done to death. Other posts go hostile quickly if the OP doesn't like the responses.

It is good to see a thread tickle along nicely, but it seems to be the fab way that as soon as someone goes hostile, it is time to release the hounds

1. Most of the people on forums take what they read far too seriously.

2. Most of the people on forums take themselves far too seriously.

3. Nobody ever said forums are supposed to be friendly.

You can make friends on forums. I take the opinions of friends seriously, most of the other shite written on here I don’t give a second thought too.

I’ve noticed that. If at the beginning someone is angsty or critical it can dictate that the whole thread might continue in that vein.

As I am taking posts off that are abusing other members and no one is calling those people out ( a tad ironic) then I am going to shut this.

Don't attack people on the forum

As always report anything that a mod may have missed as none of us are on 24/7 or see everything that is posted.
