I would like to say goodbye, here you can complain and say your going to leave.
Instead of saying it more than once go, it’s just a site, common. This is just a website, I can’t imagine it being hard to leave, so go on. Don’t complain about how horrible it has become over and over, just say your goodbyes here and be on your way.
Honestly I’m tired of the long posts saying we need mods and people threatening to go. We all know this site is self moderating. It’s going to stay that way, it’s not going to change, so you might as well take your leave now and save yourself from these horrible forums.
I will admit the maturity level of the new members has being getting lower, but that’s what the ignore list is for. I currently have two members of the fora on my ignore list. I find them immature and really not interested in anything they have to contribute. Nothing can really make me leave the forums, as I come here to cruise and try to get inspiration to try new things. I may not have 5 billion posts like some people, but I do contribute my $.02 when I feel like it will suffice. Fortunately, for the internet, ignoring a problem does make it go away.
My issue with the ignore list is that their posts still show up, the content is just blocked. I’d like the posts to be removed entirely and not be notified that the person said anything. My curiosity gets the best of me.
Every time you shit do you look to make sure that it’s shit there and not something useful. I don’t. That is why I don’t have a problem with the ignore list. Once somebody shows everything they post bothers me, I do not care to see anything more. I know it’s shit under there.
That came out snarky and mean, not exactly how I meant it.
"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they allow disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children now are tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”

Here is an Idea, all work together to moderate the forums. It is there to use but is rarely used. If we work together the forums will be better for all of us!
This little button is supposed to be for us to use… so use it!
I deal with it. That button is really only to report spam, trolls, etc. What can be done about other issues is to send a PM to the offending user to guide them into changing their behavior.
