Rep abuse.

[Bren]

Okay....who is deleting posts in this thread....I posted a valid thread not long ago and someone deleted it!!!! (and I cant be fooked typing it out again) and who moved the thread to PD then back again??

Thats the problem in a nutshell I reckon. Until KB moderators refuse to tolerate it, KB will descend into a world of whining little bitches.

Too right!

[Quasievil]

Too right!

hey thats not what he said Mr Random

but on that note, its 3 years to late, its already full of whining little bitches who feel the need to tell us about every stupid little thought they have in there head............often not bike related at all

Ha ha ha. Now that IS the pot calling the kettle black. All we need now is III coming along protesting his innocence and I thinks we'll have the set.

This is normally a troll I would just ignore, but its such a good example in this case, I'll point it out.

Here we have one of the perpetrators turning the blame upon one of the people HE abused. It's a widely used tactic to remove the focus of blame from them and suggest that the victim is in fact responsible for the altercation.

Another tactic used by abusers on this forum, is to intentionally fill the thread with so much off-topic noise or mock abuse (hey we were just having fun) so that the original poster has no opportunity to discuss their topic. Usually they continue until the thread gets PD'ed then they can relax again - mission accomplished.

Moderators aren't lawyers or psychologists, so how the hell they are supposed to diagnose crap like this is beyond me.

I do think its pretty clear who these people are.

As long as there's no misunderstanding then.

The way some members award rep is often an indicator of their level of maturity and their ability to construct a cogent and meaningful statement. If people disagree with something another member has posted and the best they can offer as a riposte is "fuck you cunt", or similar bogan sentiment, that actually speaks volumes. Personally I would like to see people prompted to contribute some explanation with the rep they distribute, rather than merely clicked red or green. Surely it can't be that hard to articulate succinctly as to why one may have been moved to award rep.

On a personal note, I never click red.

'Fuzz Face' really hurt...........
But 'Fuzz Face My Arse' made me feel better....

But deep down on the inside you know i love you mark

Its to encourage people to post positive/good comments... things other members will like... with varying degrees of success...

I understand fully what the purpose of the rep system is about.

How ironic - A pot calling a kettle... something... As usual RM, so many people on KB feel agrieved when what they hand out comes straight back at them. Live by the sword for long enough and you're bound to get shot or at least shot at...

Not quite, I generally don't give out abusive reds[and i probably wont again], more like "hahahahahhahahaha" or "have a nice day". and personally im not worried what people say about me - my rep page is pretty like a chirstmas tree. But its just a negative part of kb that would easily be fixed or toned town by removing the comments.

The reds i give are usally a joke, i.e if somone is having a cry about a red rep, or how they never get red or are just being stupid i'll give them a stupid rep.

Its annoying, i dont like coming home after being at work all day (its harder when you dont email me btw) and seeing how many people want me to die.

any rep that you think is abuseive report it and mod will deal with it.

There is also an opinion called 'no rep'

which people can give you rep. but you do not see it. so don't have to worry about it

yeah, that's going to work.

People take the internets seriously?

unfortunately, a lot do - ask a mod

Thats the problem in a nutshell I reckon. Until KB moderators refuse to tolerate it, KB will descend into a world of violence and abuse, not like it hasn't already.

As long as there's no misunderstanding then.

And here is another example, where a member uses the technique of a deliberate misunderstanding to point the finger away from him, onto someone else. After this, he is quickly using up all his available options before simply resorting to abuse, unless he can quickly enroll some backup abuse from elsewhere, or troll me into breaking a site rule for which I get reprimanded.

I would like to suggest you are wasting your time with that. I think the moderators energy would be far better spent singling these people out and applying some consequence to said member.

I has also become clear to me, that many, if not most bikers are bogans, and thats how these people communicate. I'm not about imposing my lifestyle on them, but conversely they must understand they cannot impose their lifestyle upon me. If I AM guilty of imposing my lifestyle upon them, then fair enough lets hear the objection. We're all different.

All (most?) of my forum infringements are from taking umbrage after abuse and ridicule was directed at me. Perhaps am justified and perhaps I am not, and I am prepared to be taken to task on that, but for the perpetrators to walk away laughing and do it some more, only to be widely celebrated as heroes by their mates is disgusting, and for this to be allowed by forum owners and moderators speaks volumes about their character.

Make the change, KB, and grow up.
