Do some people take over certain threads?

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

I’ve noticed on some threads, it’s turned into two people just having a heated debate.

Others you can tell they know each other, so they all seem to quote and reply to each other. Everyone else ends up not contributing as it’s like a love in, but they seem to have to do it publicly and not by PM. You feel like saying, just get a room !

It’s much better than it used to be. A lot of people have met socially, and so there are a lot of groups formed. The debate part, I know I’m guilty of, but it’s a forum and people are going to debate

I'd agree, there are some people who seem intent on making digs at each other.

I think with the other example it's not always intentional, if someone replies to you it's hard not to reply back, that's how conversation works afterall.

I guess it's how you view the purpose of the forums. Are they here purely to discuss the OP or are they here to encourage conversation which as we all know can often go off topic?

I see the forum as a room full of people socialising. If someone says lots of things that 'click' with you, you are to respond more to that person. Just natural conversation, nothing more, nothing less. I think some people just feel left out, and turn arsey.

If someone is out of your filters, you cannot pm them, or you just don't want to and keep it to a little bit of fun in the forum.

The best thing to do is reply regardless of who else is on the thread.

It's clear sometimes that people only respond to those they find attractive or who agree with them.. It's human nature and the only way to be included is to join in

People go off topic in the debate/discussion - they will support a certain view point /person - lots enjoy the exchange of ideas / opinions - these threads are very organic they are not a meeting.

.... a facilitator will bring them back on topic..., usually an OP will do this if they are involved in the forum - some going off topic have been hilarious

Honestly it's pretty much the same handful of people that constantly post inflammatory remarks. I don't know why admins don't hand out permanent bans for the forums more often. There some people who literally offer nothing to the forums other than insulting comments and comments specifically designed to get a rise out of people

It probably comes as no surprise to you that i've had a few heated debates on here, both on my own and other peoples' posts.

It doesn't bother me at all, i actually enjoy debating opinions, there is such a wonderful and diverse set on here bouncing different opinions around is part of the fabric of life.

It's when people begin making incorrect assumptions about your character and then start slinging personal insults as a result that i get annoyed. This is when it stops being a debate.

This is one of the reasons why I stopped joining in the forums as much as I used to. As much as it's true that this is an open forum and you're always going to get this sort of thing going on, it just gets really boring seeing this stuff after a while, the same handful of people sabotaging a thread to talk absolute rammel. A bit of flirting here and there is fine but if you want to talk to someone that much then just take it to PM. For example there'll be an interesting thread running on the role wombats play in a post-modern society, and then you'll get this shite...

Person A : Oh hello, how are you? I haven't seen you in a while

Person B : I'm fine thanks, nice arse btw!

Person A : Hee hee, cheeky! Fancy a cuppa?

Person B : Don't mind if I do. Milk and two sugars.

Person A : You want some cake too?

Person B : Yes please

Person A : What you been up to then?

Person B : Well, I've just got in from Tesco. Did you know they're selling Jaffa cakes at half price?

Person A : Get away! I prefer a Hobnob myself.

I like seeing the interaction of others it’s entertaining. This is usually referred to as the ‘clique’. The forum is incredibly dull without friendships and ppl bouncing off each other. There are debates which I enjoy, especially those that are respectful. You may not agree with someone but that doesn’t mean either argument is right or more valid than another. The moral high ground is often a stance taken, I prefer a reasoned discussion. You get to understand how someone has reached their viewpoint and this can change your own.

You also get forum users who start 10 threads a day. This is another complaint of some but they won’t start a thread of their own. Someone has to start threads otherwise there’d be no forum. The forum is definitely a case of the more you put in the more you get out.

In summation, be careful what you wish for, these folk you find annoying keep the forum alive. You may not appreciate every thread they start or comment they post but they make the effort. As in the real world you won’t like everyone on the forum and vice versa

We got to a point where the same profile posted umpteen threads every day...

There have been a few like that recently. I would’ve thought that comes down to spamming and should be removed anyway?

I've given up on this forum these days. I only drop by occasionally to check updates on socials.

However, this thread caught my attention.

As somebody who in a previous life has been professionally involved in this whole forum malarky (helping to plan and manage them for various publishers) my experience is that you will always see the cliques try to dominate the forum space, and they tend to use the same tactics to get the same rewards.

The clique members invariably need to be defined in public (in my opinion) and thrive on the exclusivity of belonging to their gang.

They could take their gang and their flirting in private,but that defeats the object. The pleasure is in effectively looking down their noses at everyone else, especially those they see as inferior or a threat. The communal act of ignoring others or putting others down helps to reinforce the gang.

They need to be public about their clique, or it's not a real clique. If they take it private it becomes a secret society, and where's the fun in that?

Of course, the occasional non-member can be honoured with a nod of approval if he/she flatters them. It's human nature.

Of course it's all harmless enough until it turns ugly.

You see it turn ugly on the Fab forum when some poor sod - especially a young newbie - dares to ask for advice or feeback on their profile. The gang will often relish kicking several shades of shit out of the poor sod by belittling him (it's usually a him because single males are plentiful and solitary, and ripping into them isn't seen as too much of a crime around these parts.

The irony is that the clique's criticisms of the newbie's photos and profile is often against a backdrop that their own are sometimes lacking.

When it comes to the tactic of them trying to stiffle threads (on Fab,just as on other forums, it tends to be by swamping the thread with mutual appreciation), the only thing you can do is just power through, ignore it and continue with the thread topic. Don't fuel the fire.

Anyway, I enjoyed sharing my observations.

I think it’s the posting as a gang (when one posts and then their friends start laying in there punches too, agreeing/laughing smileys/thumbs up or ‘you tell em’ type replies. That’s where the problem lies with me.

Or a thread is started directly referencing (or sometimes indirectly) with the intention of mocking someone or a group, for them and their friends to post.

Your right, people make friends, but some groups of friends are only intent is to keep that group exclusive. Not very welcoming in a public forum, is it?

No but then would you walk into a pub, go up to a group of people you’ve not met before and expect them to welcome you in? Maybe not

I do agree that there are, small, groups who think that collectively attacking others is counted as ‘being here for fun on the forums’

Collectively though, the rest of the participants could just ignore them and they’ll soon give up.

It's interesting that you refer to people getting ''the s**t kicked out of them'' on a forum. This kind of shows just how seriously some people can take it when someone else upsets them,they may literally feel injured.

The thing is though, no real physical harm has been done. At the end of the day,it's just words on a screen. If you really want it to reflect real life, would it really upset you if someone said something that you disagreed with? If they insulted you instead of answering your point?

Or would you just ignore and avoid them? Or bite back? Often the people who do the trash talking,say more about themselves than about their intended target.

We all need to develop a thick skin and broad shoulders,to some extent in real life,so why not on an internet forum?

I don’t even think it’s a thing of needing a ‘thick skin’. It’s more the observation (by the many it seems, not the few) that some posters just come on to be c**** and offer nothing of any real value to the discussion.

I’m really confused about some of the comments on this thread. I’ve been here for around 2 years now, with a short break recently. I still don’t know who the clique are.

The people who I tend to see being overly rude towards newbies who ask for advice, aren’t the forum regulars, but people who don’t post as often. I can’t refer to the clique, because I have no idea who’s in it. I see groups of people who have met and become close.

Then perhaps other people should join in the conversation more, instead of whinging

People do try that but often get ignored, insulted etc at times so rarely post after that. Its very hard for new people to join in and feel confident enough to keep posting. I know many people that tried here but gave up because they felt unwelcome.

Yes it does seem like that, however these threads appear more frequently than Princess Peach’s bowel movements. They are told the same things over and over again, because that is what single males have said worked for them on various other threads around the subject. The OP invariably ignores any advice given and either goes UNLOS or posts another identical thread within days. The majority that start those kind of threads think Fab is instashag, please note I said the majority. This site is single male heavy and it is going to be difficult for them to be successful in their goal, whichever hole they’re aiming for. Therefore, some effort beyond a few tinky winky pics and ‘message me’ on their profile is required

I hate to think people feel unwelcome, but I still don’t agree that new posters get ignored or abused. I think people who post comments, which are very controversial on an emotive subject can sometimes bring forward a debate.

I’m not denying that sometimes people are shitty and annoying, but compared to other forums like Reddit, this place is okay.

Why would you expect admin to do their jobs right when they ban people with no real explanation after never previously posting in the forums haha. They are a joke at best. And i'm being kind here

. Those people have nothing better to do clearly and it makes loads not post in here. Me i say it how it is and done *drops mike*

Afternoon 4 posts on the trot...talk about taking over a fecking thread eh

Can't take it over if i'm posting about what the thread is actually about

. Thanks for noticing though treacle

There are six or seven profiles that seem to comment on pretty much every thread.

Almost an unelected committee with common stock replies.

Let’s put some perspective on this, there were in excess of 3000 threads in the lounge alone last month. The number of mods/admin is small and they are unpaid. They have a huge task to trawl through threads and keep the forum fun for everyone. They aren’t armed with the knowledge of who’s friends with who etc and which comments are ‘banter’ or malicious. Some rule breaking is obvious but there are a lot of comments made indirectly that are impossible to spot. Mistakes will happen things will be missed, that’s life. Everyone has access to the report button, use it to alert them of rule breaking etc and stay within the rules. There are always ways we as users can improve things, by making sure you’re not part of the problem is a start. Yes I know I don’t always get it right, shock horror, I’m not perfect

Well this thread is fun.

Agree with many of the comments above tho, some people appear to spend 24/7 posting on here which implies they have no life/mates etc. Cliquey doesn't even start to describe it.

There may be a reason they are on here so frequently other than your rather limited explanation. There are also patterns, watch and all may become clear

Some Trans use sock puppets to do their dirty work or use their male profiles to chip in, its pretty obvious, same with everybody else when you seem to get a clique that know each other and play ping pong and silly buggers to wreck threads or to praise one of the clique its most likely one person using several profiles...
