Urban Art Association

THANK YOU!

Silky, please think long and hard about this post for your own sake and sake of this forum. Thanks!

are we talking about Lord Voldemort again?

I hear the question silky but i dont think that people have left because of the said reason only. There has been some garbage on here for one but that is life and two with the art world not being so profitable at the mo people are not as happy so gripe at each other because of it. But and its one to think about he didnt ban them or have the power to mediate them as you do. I dont know why all left or what they did but i think from the comments you got when they come back you may be partially to blame. A better thread maybe come on lets be honest and ask the others who left what and why they think is wrong. As much as some people are a pain in the arse if the world was full of nice people it would be boring perhaps a little word in the ear or a yellow card would help as limiting people and what they say is not very nice either

I don't agree with limiting posts, or even banning people unless it's something really out of order. I've hardly been on the forum for the last few weeks and don't actually know which member this is about, but if I think someone is talking cack or liking the sound of their own voice (keyboard) too much I just ignore them.

Leave Cartrain alone! ;D

I have found myself growing rather bored with every thread deteriorating into a slagging match of some sort!

I've recently been banned on another forum for speaking out against "post throttling" for certain members (not me, btw).

Can't condone it there, can't condone it here. If there's going to be a maximum number of posts per day it should apply to ALL members, not just a select one or two.

I don't know who this particular poll here refers to (am I missing something?) and I'm not going to put a vote on this poll because I don't like the way the choices are worded.

Ha, brilliant is this a J-boy poll?, do you not think five posts a day is a little excessive?, I would say two max....

while we're making a appeals could I ask for an ending to the 'in' jokes about jboy; silky + cartrain being related, first time it wasn't funny and it's just embarrassing now.

exactly members soon wake up if they find they are being ignored, i would say it's a very effective tool for teaching others to play nice

You've just ignored the last two posts!

did someone just say something


edit: the comment was a joke towards MD - as for the red button not quite sure how it works as I havnet had to use it... yet. I would welcome it here though!

The reason that people swear and abuse other members on the forum is that they are generally unhappy with their life , it is called burden displacement. They resort to becoming typo thugs or keyboard gangsters. But a good set of rules that you could adapt SILKY
:

1.) Please refrain from making physical threats of any kind toward another board member. This guideline applies to the personal messages (PMs) as well.

2.) Please refrain from calling another board member or a group of members insulting names. This guideline applies to the personal messages (PMs) as well.

3.) No posting of sexually explicit pictures. Links to extreme sexual, gore or grotesque images are also not appropriate for this site.

4.) Please refrain from making ethnic, racial, sexist, homophobic or religious slurs. This includes using biblical references to preach hate or condemnation. Please refrain from making racist or bigoted comments.

5.) Evangelizing people to your faith whether Christian, Muslim, or whatever is also prohibited. Signatures with Scripture references are fine, but do NOT try and proactively persuade people to your religious orientation through the forums.

Once people start posting on your thread they have the right to continue the discussion.

10.) Topics other than Banksy are welcome. Please refrain from flooding the board with topics. Flooding is defined as posting\bumping more than five posts on the main board at a given time. If the posts are party/mix announcements see rule #7. Discussions on religion, politics and race can get heated so keep the dialog going by not resorting to items #1 - #2 above. Agree to disagree .

17.) This board can get pretty intense at times. If you have a problem with something that was posted please contact an admin and it will be reviewed. You agree to hold the owners harmless with respect to any damages received by participating in this forum.

18.) The last rule: The administrators best judgment is the final call. Translation: The Moderators can do whatever they want. If they want to delete a post, they can. If they want to lock a topic, they can.

Hope this helps you Silky as the forum is becoming less informative and more of a playground joke. I don't think yet I have sweared at someone or abused someone as sticks and stones break my bones but names will never harm me:)

where did you copy all that from, probably a little over the top we already have rules in the rules section, an ignore button would work much more effectively
