Think before you post, by pezlow on Dec 19, 2007 13:21:19 GMT 1, I have had a large number of pm's and emails from people in the last couple of days who are really frustrated. They are frustrated at the negativity surrounding the board, the negging campaigns, new members (or perhaps old ones with new names ) making derogatory posts etc.
So to give you due warning all the moderators are keeping a careful eye on your posts at the moment, your IP addresses and the respect scores, to weed out any foul play.
We all revel in the anarchic nature of this board but making threats or unnecessarily unpleasant remarks towards any forum member, whatever their views, is not what any of us want.
Please think before you post.
And please please think before you start yet another thread about something that already has a thread of its own.
I love this board and most of the people on it. Let's keep it a great place to discuss our obsession, rather than giving in to the trolls that seem to be dwelling here at the moment.

Pez, it's no conincidence that all this has been going on for the duration of Santa's Ghetto. You can tell already that now the print releases seem to have finished, that things have calmed down & a lot of the trolls have vanished.

The majority of people on this forum love art so lets get back to talking and debating the subject we love best without the abuse.

I'm not saying people shouldn't express their opinion, but there are ways of doing it without upsetting people.

Just dont put all us new one's in the same basket. merry xmas one and all.

I dont want to reignite any debate, but yes I agree with you Pez and thank you and others for their consideration and their monitoring of the situation.

can you or silky delete any / all of the crappy timewasting bilious threads that appear on here??
I come on here to read abaout art & I add to that discussion if I feel I have something positive to add (as I'm sure most do)
the amount of "who negged me" / "i hate flippers" / "PoW down?" threads is ridiculous add to that the number of duplicate threads...it all makes it more difficult & timewasting to get to the good stuff
just a thought

Think before you post, by johnas on Dec 19, 2007 15:25:51 GMT 1, All i can say, after recent weeks as a lurker due to the high volume of excited new members, is that i'm glad things already seem to be getting back to normal.... how quiet is it on here today now SG is over!
i do hope that all those new members who are here for the right reasons, will get stuck in and find out what a great board this can be. As with anything in life, you get out what you put in. The 'trolls' will disappear and we'll be left discussing our passion, ribbing Cracka, sharing new finds and showing off our collections, just like we do when there isn't an imminent Banksy release and cashing in isn't the sole reason of being here
also, i hope that new members don't feel unwelcome. Perhaps we could have a stickied thread or new board area, for people to introduce themselves? In the past when people have taken the time to introduce themselves, I've found they've been welcomed with open arms.
finally, let us all remember to keep things in perspective. We may be passionate but lets remember there's more to life than pieces of paper and money. Try and do some good at least once a day, love thy neighbour (reguarly if poss ), remember manners don't cost anything and don't let the bastards grind you down

Think before you post, by fartofthestate on Dec 19, 2007 15:31:56 GMT 1, I do think before I post, and still get my IP banned for it why? Because I don't post wanker comments all day about what do I thinks worth the most and who's the next big thing.
I will say again, there are more people on here that want the respect system gone than there are wanting to keep it, the damn thing causes hatred and fills up forum space.
Modorators should think about slimming down the ammount of threads on one subject instead of having:
POW release print Released POW prints POW NOW GOGOGOG POW Banksy on POW Prints up on POW now POW prints released? New prints on POW. Whats new at POW. POW Update. rahhh rahh rahhh rahhh rah
And the other 1000 topics all leading to the same ocean.
If I think someones taking the piss out of the forum by flipping print yes I'll call them a wanker, if I think that artist who copies Faile, Copies Faile I'll have a rant about it, if I think Jef Arosole paints boring meaningless stencils I'll also have a moan about it as well, but for christs sake its a public forum we can't all get along, and we can't all like the same things. Debate is what makes things interesting.

Think before you post, by anthoz on Dec 19, 2007 15:45:36 GMT 1, for anybody who wishes to know, as a member on here for only about 4 months now ( and someone who probably posts at least once a day) i just wanted to say a huge thanks to this forum in general and to its members for the most part. My love and passion for art has grown immenesely since joining, my bank balance has suffered, my life is better for being here, and ive landed a number of pieces of art that i never even thought i would have appreciated or respected prior to learning from other members on here. I buy art that i like, that i want and that i will look at every day. But without this board i probably would have remained blinkered to a small number of artists. Now my walls are adorned with the likes of Mr Choe, Stella Im Hultberg and some others less well known and its you guys who have helped to tweak and point my artistics hunger in the right direction. In the process ive made friends, talked nonsense, learned how prints are made, how artists think, ive spoken to adam neate and ame 72 amongst a number of artists ive contacted and befreinded directly. so all in all a big group hug and thanks from my goodself have a wicked xmas dudes A p.s. massive xmas cheer to MM. this guy is a legend, a true art lover and probably ...well almost definitely MI5's best 00 agent.

you wanna voice your opinion yet you don't seem happy with other people being able to voice theirs. I don't get it.
I do agree with you on the respect thing though. Seems a complete waste of time. Anyone that posts here regularly enough can work out for themselves who they may want to trade with, meet up with, exchange numbers etc. Has no positive purpose as far as i can see.

Think before you post, by a4mnt on Dec 19, 2007 17:10:28 GMT 1, Loucastel - I don't necessarily think its all the old guard, as you call them, moaning at Pez. They can do that to themselves at shows and on PM/Text/Email etc. Just to say though, that everyone has to start somewhere on here. I've only been on since May 2007 so I'm a newbie as well.....just a newbie thats posted a lot since then. Everyone gets a fair go on here and you will like some people, love some people and not get on with some people. Its no different to real life.
I would like to think that most people i see posting are welcoming to new members and don't want to see them all removed so they can have the forum to themselves. They just want to the disruptive element removed. Banksy forum is plainly a victim of its own success, but thats why Stuey, Silky, Pez and AB attempt to keep order (all unpaid as well, sacrificing their own social time and family time to trawl through IP addresses while we're all out having fun). So bear with it and enjoy it also.
I hope all members feel they can have a laugh and a joke as well as a serious conversation where they honestly put forward their own views in an adult manner, with all members of the forum, young and 'old'.
In the meantime Pez, I would like to make a complaint about myself. I sometimes write serious posts and I'm not happy about it. Is this grounds for being banned?
And Johnas, whats this about ribbing me!!!

I think this has got to be one of the most welcoming forums I post/lurk on. I've been to places where new people will be either ignored or insulted.
On the whole I actually think the forum is a very friendly place to hang out, the fights that people have on here are quite tame in comparison to other boards I know. But I like that, I come here if I want to read posts where everyone is playing nice. I know that I definitely bite my tongue a lot of the time to keep up with the friendly, nonaggressive atmosphere. It's just how it is on here, and like it.

Think before you post, by f5ers on Dec 19, 2007 18:58:19 GMT 1, I think next year, the forum should organise a secret santa where everyone who joins up to it sends some else a print/poster/artwork (spend no more than say ยฃ40) and you don't know who its from. This Would create feelings of goodwill and excitement of recieving something new which you might not have otherwise bought. It would distract from all the Gheytto nonsense and help create a more positive and welcoming forum spirit.. just a thought.

but thats my choice not to look through thousands of posts and everyone has the choice whether or not to open a topic titled: POW down.
but i really can't believe you would be watching people and logging their IP addresses! too controlling, we will all end up with about the same amount of freedom of speech as these two..........

Think before you post, by pezlow on Dec 19, 2007 21:05:36 GMT 1, Every time you post on these forums your IP address is logged. I don't make a list it is just there for mods to see.
As for wading through posts you may not have to do it but lots of people use the view the last 100 posts option.
It's got nothing to do with freedom of speech. I am the last one who wants to censor people. But if people are being rude or offensive it makes for a pretty unpleasant atmosphere. If people then come on to this forum to deliberately wind people up, abuse them and swear at them then I think most people would agree that something needs to be done.

Think before you post, by BK83 on Dec 19, 2007 21:09:16 GMT 1, i don't get that much time to come on here so for me personally i always look at the dupilacate topics with less posts rather than wade through 15 pages of people trying to guess whats going at at pow or telling a boring story of how they got to the checkout and they couldn't get their little poster. but thats my choice not to look through thousands of posts and everyone has the choice whether or not to open a topic titled: POW down. but i really can't believe you would be watching people and logging their IP addresses! too controlling, we will all end up with about the same amount of freedom of speech as these two..........
HAHAHAHAH. Hilarious. good one BH.

Think before you post, by BK83 on Dec 19, 2007 21:13:21 GMT 1, Pez. I really do think a lot of it has to do with the respect system. what is the deal with that? I think this forum is a place where all peoples comments are equal. Having a repsect system tarnishes that philosophy. I think if you participate in the forum, after a while you can make your own conclusions about other members on the forum. I dont need anyone else to do that for me....

To be honest I don't even look at people's respect scores. I know who the good guys are on this forum. I personally can't understand why people get so wound up about the respect system. It's really odd. The same people who say that the respect system should go are normally the first to publish all those ridiculous "who negged me posts".

i haven't seen anything that rude or offensive, but like i said i'm too lazy to look through all the posts.
i'm not knocking all the hard work that you lot put into maintaining the forum btw i just automatically get wound up if people can't say what the like. but for the long term future of this place i suppose a happy atmosphere has to try and be maintained.
