Why so much hate, by Yes its Me on Sept 4, 2017 16:58:13 GMT 1, I have been a member on here for over 4 years and have always enjoyed the various post's, the wealth of information and the vast knowledge that other members have. It seems though that this year in particular people are really bitching at one another, being out right rude to other members and basically just not being nice? And it seems that no one is regulating this? Am I wrong in thinking that the moderators on here used to be a lot more pro active in stopping this type of behaviour? Let's leave the trolling to the other social media outlets. I think we should also be a bit more appreciative of Daniel Silk who gave us this great forum and I would imagine that it is not an easy job running this place Hate begets hate guy's, there's enough bad people and shi#e going on in the world, let's just enjoy our art, we are ahead of the curve as far as I am concerned with art and we should keep our little club a nice exclusive place for all. I think we should all try a little harder to be nicer to each other.
This has been going on for yrs. the admin seem to like it as well. . lots of bullying with no face to them.

Why so much hate, by Masong on Sept 4, 2017 17:31:49 GMT 1, I honestly don't get why people get so upset and drawn In to somebody else giving them a bit of shit and trying to get a rise out of them on a forum. Lets face it, the people that do it either think they are more superior, are sad and have little else to do or are bullies or have been bullied [unfortunately] in their lifetimes. I personally think a lot of it is down to how you take something and how you respond to it. I myself would find it funny and respond in that way. I'm not gonna cry over somebody disagreeing with anything ive got to say or trying to wind me up. I think its just seen as hate as that's the way you have seen it. Anyway Peace

My heart goes out him and his family and I hope she makes a speedy recovery. As an ex moderator (three or four active now as opposed to 13 before) I can say there was always a need for the forum to police itself. Everyone should be grown up enough to take Criticism and banter. However should members resort to racist slurs and offensive behaviour then it was nipped in the bud. Equally bullying should not be tolerated. New people should be welcomed as they add more to the pot of knowledge on here. I think Dappy, Neil and Wear have a job on theirs hands at times. Peace well put Dibbs45, could not agree more - family/friendship are the most important thing
I am a fairly new forum member and have gained a lot of insite, knowledge and advice. I have approached various members and have had nothing but posative responses but i must say i do enjoy watching the 'rants' unfold from a distance.
Life is too short - manners, respect and being civil costs nothing (unless the member in question deserves the abuse) - handbags at the ready

Why so much hate, by wrigs on Sept 4, 2017 19:30:19 GMT 1, Also new to the forum but have felt welcomed in the main as someone with very little knowledge of the scene and have enjoyed reading opinions from those more in the know than me. Ive also enjoyed learning about new artists some of which I like and others I don't which is the joy of it.
From what I can gather most of the bitching takes place on the sales threads (normally the Banksy posts) about the fact that a similar print may or may not have sold for a different price a few months ago. As I have no clue nor interest tend to stay away from these.

The trolls are the reason I stayed away from forums for so long. Unlike in person it's hard to put a bully in their place online. So long as more folks step in and shut them down all will be good. Especially with art there will be so many varying opinions but does not have to be met with such venom. Great thread cliff.

Why so much hate, by Daniel Silk on Sept 5, 2017 0:28:00 GMT 1, Too many people in the world have so little tolerance of other people's opinions and beliefs, and no sign of that improving.

Why so much hate, by Deleted on Sept 8, 2017 0:46:41 GMT 1, And we doing so well for a couple of day's there, as soon as Mr B does something the hate starts allover again.......Right trouble maker he is , someone did post about this being the problem but I cannot remember who it was sorry, look's like they were correct though, I wonder why that is?
It would appear the old adage "Money is the root of all evil" is very true

Why so much hate, by brycepen on Sept 9, 2017 2:00:59 GMT 1, I will say as a relatively new member here, I have noticed a certain amount of contempt and disrespect by some of the more established members. However, they are the vocal minority and most people have been incredibly respectful give generally sincere and thoughtful responses.
Also, I might be new here, but I'm no stranger to internet forums. I have been spending more time here lately because the trolling isn't NEARLY as bad as it is on some of the dark web/lesser known forums I've frequented. And of course it's wonderful to be here as an artist; I've learned a lot and am grateful to be a part of a community based around my personal passions.
I also agree that daniel silk is a great moderator and far more helpful than most forum mods I've experienced. But I am new here, so I'll understand if others have a more nuanced opinion

I blame the invader LED print release. That thread brought out the ugliest behavior I've ever seen in my brief tenure here.
