Abuse of fellow members

[Holy Roller]

We've heard the same thing many times over the past years they usually come back or just don't follow through

[Insanity_rules]

Well ya know what they say "rules are rules" and we've been provided with a cool place (Thanks heaps Spank). So live by the rules guys.

I havent had any abuse yet but I'm glad the rules are there..

[Posh Tourer :P]

For your first bit of abuse, dont thread dredge! Read the dates before you post!

Search for "Posting and You"

yup did that and got a page full of hits , which one should I open ?? At 120 dollars an hour ( my charge out rate ) I am more than happy to open every single one

Thread dredging , hmmm well I have been here a year or so I think and there are still posts i think about and would llike to resume the conversation

Personally If I see a thread that for me is over , then I move on ...and with the the scroll mouse that be very quick.

To give you an image of what I mean , the greatest biker movie of all time is Easy rider. I could talk about that dog legged Harley till the cows come home .....the movie was on the big screens in the 60 s .....thread dredging ????
sometimes there is a place for that . ( I think anyway )

True Brian, Perhaps I ought to have pointed at the sticky thread (I think it is in site stuff), or tried searching for "Posting and You" (with speech marks). Thread dredging is fine if you have something new and interesting to say that hasn´t been said before. Just be careful about it.

I dont want to scare you off Insanity, but netiquette is netiquette....

and that is it, new and iteresting, and etiquette is etiquette wether on the net or in person
To be honest I have been mucking around on this net since the early ninties, and all these netiquette leaves me dumbfounded
Simple human understanding on the other hand is a whole lot easier to understand , so one must look past post that for what ever reason may be F#$%^ up ,and ... click scroll ,,,,,,done , the person posting may be having a YCS ...
I use unlimitd bandwith and speed , as well as 64 k unlimited , so Know both ends of the storyas far as speed .
those who worry about thread dredging should IMHO get out more * even if the topic has been repeated* the scroll button is your saviour , I must scroll through pages and pages of single word replies ,,( Spam) to read one witty reply
But those reply are genuine gold, from real people seeking honest responses , and I will ALWAYS give those people 100 percent of my time and assistance
and that experience is free , all others I charge 120 per hour .( actually it doesnt work like that , I just love helping people that I foget to charge , and have to take a day job to make ends meet!)

who will never be scared of insanity because I finally found out who I am ,,,its taken 40 years ,,,but ,,,(watch out the fbi will find you bluuuurk, they are watching us ,,,,,,,Helen has spies in the tV ,,,,

Yip agree with ya man, posh.... get over it just cos you have read shit heaps a new member wont have and very well may have something to add, and whe threads get so long and ya skip a few posts its easy to repeat something thats already been said..... so what.

you are kidding?? 'Thread dredging' on a thread that started slightly over a month ago?
I think that would be a little OTT, especially for a relative newbie to know that?

I've seen a bit of it lately but I dont think this even remotely comes close to it.

[burn-out gurl]

i think thats a good idea

[kevie]

Im new here so dont know whose who, whose abusing who and dont really wanna know :P

But yeh ... this is a regular problem and not unique to just this site, Ive been in many chat sites and forums and have also moderated many of them and the abuse is alll too common ... but seemingly always only a small minority do it and ruin it fo those that wanna enjoy the fellowship of the site... So top marks to you 'spank' for nipping it in the bud early, Ive seen sites that no longer exist that were awesome until a small few destroyed them in 'fun'.

Looking forward to meeting some of the locals and not so local riders, have met acouple on the Palmerston North ride a couple weeks ago.

But so far (stumbling around the site finding whats behind all the doors :P ) im enjoying this place ... good work webby(s)

Another computer geek great. I'm gonna go for a ride while you sit online.

Edit: Oh FUCK, this topic is "Abuse of fellow members", not "Abuse fellow members" My misktake, carry on surfing, I'm going for another ride....

[Lazy7]

why cant you just turn on the forum filtering for bad language?

if everytime you said "fuck" it came out as "wallpaper" or something equally less offensive then the novelty of swearing would wear off sooner or later.

obviously you could work around it like f.u.c.k for example. but doing that is just tedious!

YOUR COMMENT IS OFFENSIVE IVE REPORTED YOUR POST , I WAS ASKING A QUESTION, AND MAKING A COMMENT WITHOUT NAMING NAMES

Yeah D. leave god out of it or he'll go at you like he did Zed.

Saying he is thick is enough, don't need the God bit.

[GIXser]

That's what makes this site so different. It 'is' the cut and thrust, the debates, the pisstakes and the odd slagging. Most forums are full of people with the same ideas, ideas and still the same ideas. As soon as someone comes along that offers a different opinion or perspctive they pounce like jackels. It is as if they are unable to tolerate, deal with, or even acknolwledge that there are many and varied opinion outside of their own small world. And it's bloody sad, not so much as some are unable to digest different ideas but nearly everbody here agrees with what Spank has done. He's changed the rules after starting the game
Are Winj and I are the only ones who see this??

Skyryder

nop" you got one more supporter here" there is a flip side to the arguement "not to throw abuse" and that is "deal with it"!! we are all adults" i do think it should be contained in the rant or rave or/ and pointless drivel" fuck i know i've thrown abuse and have abuse thrown at me-- its great"!!! show your true self" its sad that the rules have to be changed --i dont belive it will be the same-- and then there is the question of where you draw the line, scarcasm ??? using alias,indirect insults etc... will be very difficult???
ahh well ... we'll see
