Popular Post oztony 36,116 Posted April 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2018 I am not a fan of over moderating , it dampens things a bit if someone is just strolling around looking for stuff to pick at , I would say right now is the smoothest and least moderating used since I joined here 12K posts ago, and everyone I think , is more at ease without over the top moderating ....for this to continue some self restraint is sometimes required from everybody participating ....particularly in controversial type subject matter. So we need to be selective with our wording and descriptions in these topics , and we also need to refrain from injecting political persuasion into things where it is just not necessary , no one in particular is being singled out here but we can sort of look at it as a notification of where the speed camera is going to be set up ...and hopefully avoid being pinged as we go through it............. 10 4 Link to post Share on other sites

The forum rules were written with the idea in mind we are mature adults here. Obviously, that is not completely true across the board. 5 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites

I would hope to think that meeting up for a fist fight would be the last thing on peoples minds here ...it is not the sort of attitude that the membership here wants to be involved with , when you want to get something out of your system the idea is to do it as politely as you can manage ...then move on ... One member here , now banned , did ask me for a meetup in Cebu a few years back which I declined ...anything of that nature is a bannable offence , even if it is done via a PM and then reported to staff , we just don't want or need people that feel the need to resort to that level as participants here...but I suppose as rare as it is ...it does happen ...and then they are gone................. 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites

This guy was a member for quite awhile , no dummy by any stretch ...just aggressively argumentative to the full ...you sorta envisage things being the same in the household as well ...he disliked the locals with a passion ...and appeared to dislike most expats as well.................must've dragged himself through every day in a grumpy state.......... 2 Link to post Share on other sites
