Going Downhill Fast - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Michael [hXc] · 04-30-2004, 05:39 PM

These boards are going downhill fast due to a lot of arguments on the threads. I will not mention the "ringleaders" as they know who they are. We need to prevent these fights. We used to be able to get along well and make friends, and some members are messing it up for us all.

I think OU812 has been banned, or at least suspended for awhile. He was trying to re-register back on the boards earlier today.

I agree with you 100% that these boards are going downhill and not for the better I'm afraid. I can't make any friends on here or on Random Posts because I'm afraid of what people will say about me. I certainly can't go unto Yahoo Messenger because there is a truckload of people chatting on there and you can't get a word in edgewise there. And also people on here make fun of you and laugh at you when you have depression or have a disability. I know because about 6 months or so ago on the Random Posts I saw where they were making fun of someone who had depression. I do agree that they are going downhill very fast

I agree and I think it's quite sad, that some people feel that they must ruin everything, for everyone else. However, it really says more about the troublemaker, than the one(s) being harassed.

From my experience on other message boards I've learned how to deal with "bashers"

Don't reply to their messages! They will go away!

The only way it works is for everyone to be together on it- replying to stupid posts only adds to the fire

Ignore them! Trust me- they will go away!

It's only one person causing all this.

That looks easy on paper but it is difficult. A lot of the time most people who read troublemaking posts feel the need to complain and respond to them. Like Nate. You probably have never heard of him, he made pointless topics that were less than thought-provoking. And these topics made like a lot of replies. I do admit I added to them (

) but that because I felt like giving my opinion or else it would bother me if I didn't.

One day he went completely overboard and, in desperate need for a laugh, he registered a new name and porn spammed. I remember seeing reply after reply on each of his threads. TJ had to shut down the boards for 20 minutes because it became difficult to delete the threads with replies coming in. This happened last year.

He was banned permanently but came back under several names. From then on, it was decided by the powers that be that whenever he posts, it will be deleted and the replies to his posts will also be deleted (I remember when he said Laci Peterson's unborn son had a stupid name. I saw that post and a reply by someone but they were later deleted). People lost posts because they kept replying to his threads and posts.

My point is that not responding to trolls and their trash is easier said than done. Otherwise the boards would be exteremely peaceful.

I agree with that.

This isn't a new thing. These boards have gone downhill since the summer of '02.

Yes. It's like the land of Wonka there.
