This forum is long overdue. Nobody has been telling the new people when
they're being annoying, and nobody has been naming names. I realize it
seems like the nice thing to do - being all diplomatic and shit - but it's
not nice. You're letting people go on thinking they're doing everything
right when in fact, they're being completely annoying. They have no cause
to figure out what they're doing wrong and fix it. They need some tough
love to remind them that they are being dorks. Tough love is a good thing.
It is not mean. You are not mean by smacking them. If they say you're
mean, then you've done your job and it is now up to them to either fix it
or run away all huffy.
I'll start with an example, but since I couldn't come up with a better one,
I'll use an excerpt from an excellent post by schizo (you should go read
the whole thing)
quote:
Fairy of Darkness, this website is not your little personal playground, and
we the members are not here for your amusement. We are not here to train
you, we are not here for your benefit, unless you are here for ours. You
are not contributing anything, and you are annoying people who ARE
contributing much of value. Don't for a moment think that you are "not a
newbi". I shudder when I see your name on a post, because I know that lack
of substance is ahead. And often, what's more, just plain irritating
attempts to be cute. But you're not cute. You're annoying, more like a
mosquito of darkness than a fairy.

I hate the fact that all that ever happens on this site any more is
bitching. Sob sob, whine whine, oh it used to be so much fun to be here.
Boo fucking hoo. There seems to only be two kinds of post these days: the
14.8's getting things wrong and offending someone, or the more regular
members getting nostalgic about the olden days, when this site was actually
fun to read.
I know it's been suggested that the karma scripts be removed, fuck that! If
anything, in my oh-so humble opinion, those scripts need to be tightened
up. More moderation please! Pointless articles shouldn't even be looked at
twice. Maybe that means the number of articles hitting the front page is
lessened. Great, provided they're good quality. Irrelevant or repetetive
forum topics can be locked, and deleted. Off topic posts can be deleted.
Why not be strict about what can actually get on this site? Take it back to
minimal posts to begin with, until people get the idea.No-one wants to hear
about how tough your life is. No-one wants to try and decipher text speak.
No-one needs to be told again that the site is going downhill.
My issue is with everyone on here - myself included - for whining about how
things have gone downhill, yet not finding a decent solution. Please,
please, oh memebers of the pantheon - tell us what we can do to help the
site, and be rid of the whining. ____________________ Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life. |

Damn you, HotCarl, damn you for coming here like the eye of a hurricane,
filling our hearts with song and our eyes with your graven image, making us
love you and hate ourselves for not being you, then flying away like
startled bullfinches and leaving this void, this horrible, consuming,
hateful void that will never know warmth and light again. Damn you,
HotCarl. ____________________ Plenty of time, my sweet. Plenty of time. |

This goes out to all the forum whores. ( a forum whore is someone that
rarely posts, and when they do the spam the forums with "me too!" and "i
agree!" and, worst of all "I am a person, no really i am!")
Shmeng is not your diary. The people here dont care about your petty
"ideas". We dont care if you like us, think we suck, or want to go up to be
just like us. We dont read you posts learn about you. I would compare you
to a mosquito, but they have a place in the ecosystem and you dont.
LadyC was a forum whore. Bluelinn is trying to be, and so are you KGM. Zero
would be one, but he cant commit to it. Gothicmormon (besides being a very
confused individual) asprires to be one. Please, please, please go "sell"
you shit to someone else.
No matter how much noise you post, no one is going to listen. We dont care.
Its not elitism or clique-ism. Its just life. ____________________ Real goths wear silver and crosses to keep the werewolves and vampires

no, you're whining. And this isn't about the person you are "outside the
internet" it's how you present yourself here. You don't have to be an
obsessive freak to hit the spellcheck button or glance over things for
coherancy. Feel free to scream at me or yell if you want, just do it in
the right goddamned place. ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

Shade,
How the HELL can you sit there and talk about me? you don't even know me,
you couldn't evne BEGIN to fathom all that is me. And maybe just because I
have alot of things to do I don't have time to sit here like a creepy
fanatic and read and post all day. I talk to a few people on messanger
because I FUCKING CAN. I don't have to prove myself to you, nor do I give a
shit what you THINK you know about me, my life, and the situations I have
had to deal with. Yes, I am relatively young and I do know what the hell is
going on so shut the fuck up get the idldo out of your ass and move on.
Yours truly,
KGM ____________________ Anata ga sabishii toki, bokumo sabishii n da yo |

KGM, Blue Linn, no girls, you can't spell just fine, nor have you the
faintest grasp of reality most days. when you are talking to yourselves,
maybe someone will listen, until then, only the people to whom you have
spoken over messenger (And I only have this on hearsay) will ever feel that
there is something linear going on in there. Otherwise, you've just got
your fingers in your twat and are doing it here because you like an
audience. And if that is the case, well I usually enjoy a good bout of
voyeurism once in a while, but this time I just want a shower.
And GothicMorman, if you say "I'm not going to do...[whatever]" don't
bloody well do it. That's like starting a serious gossip session with "It
goes without saying but..." Who do you think you are fooling? That's the
kind of bullshit stereotypes indulge in, are you a stereotype? Maybe that's
why your girlfriend wanted to distance herself from you socially. Did you
know another facet of gothdom is usually honesty? Yeah, it's a funny thing,
honesty doesn't just mean not telling lies, it means following through on
your promises. Abbadon and Anya are two people who have shown themselves
incapable of doing so, Abbadon because he says every few months that hes
leaving for good and even now when he's been gone for at least a month I
just know he'll be back to chap my hide, and Anya because she promises to
shut the hell up and then goes and starts a new forum, how about you
GothicMorman, are you that guy? Are you the guy who can't read the
directions and can't do what you promise? Are just another face in the
crowd of those people that we all wish we had a mute button for? ____________________ It is only through the lack of sex that humanity derives the need for an
all encompassing blind love. And in that moment of extreme horniness with
no relief in sight, in that moment can be found the birth of religion.

Heh... I can spell just fine.I know my moods are sometimes pissy and that I
sometimes explode on people but they shouldn't take it to heart and don't
hate ANYONE on this website, in fact, I love most of you dearly and cherish
your ideas, perfections and flaws. One shouldnt consider me cutesy at any
one moment or mean either... my moods often change and it's just part of
me! Sometimes i know I am hard to deal with but I just hope you all can see
past the bad part like I see past yours =D ____________________ Anata ga sabishii toki, bokumo sabishii n da yo |

If a waterbed can wreak such havoc on your ability to type and think
clearly then I think the LEAST of your problems is a broken waterbed.
Does anyone else have any tough love to bitch out to me? Cuz if not, I'm
outski and done with this forum. ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

KGM you're right it's not about LOOKING nice, it's about sounding coherant.
If you want to make a point that you're angry, it's usually best if the
person you're "yelling" at can understand what you're yelling AT them. And
honestly, if what dom said was bitching and whining, then you're doing it
too, and it's more appropriately done in the "whine here about the LOVE
you're not getting in tough love" forum. ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

Please create a new forum topic for wicca bashing. Any more off topic posts
in this forum will be deleted no matter how interesting you think they are.
This includes on-topic posts with a few lines of off topic stuff to keep
this thread going. ____________________ So Sayeth Me |

1. When i wrote that i was tired. You could note i dont usually typo but at
the moment i am not os well and i dont care to look over something i type
about someone when its not to ment to be nice so why should it look nice?
Anyways its just one of those days but you SHOULD get your terms
strait...anger and ranting is different from whining in certain precise
manners... it was far from angst and too close to a threat to be whining.
Thoguh it wasnt a threat of naysort because its the internet. And as for
the young bit. Grow up! If you compute people into your brain by age
instead of literal sense and maturity then there alot to be learn on your
part and i might say YOUR young dearie.
*takes a breath*

KMG, I might be more offended if I could read that. Even if you're angry it
doesn't hurt to take some time to spell.
It was not said by me but to quote Feral:

Kitty Goes Mrow...
I have seen some fantastic thought... your last comment here was concise
and intelligent...
http://www.shmeng.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file
=article&thold=-1&mode=flat&order=0&sid=676#8688
but most of your postings are a case of hearing your voicebox rattle... mee
too, and I concur... commentary on the photos...
http://www.shmeng.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file
=article&thold=-1&mode=flat&order=0&sid=665#8503
But I don't believe I have ever really seen an article frrom you... or more
than that... and the fluffy bunny, I am so cute you must love me bullshit
really gets in the way... I AM CERTAIN that you have potential to be much
more - so much more than a yes, me too-er...
He said pretty much what I would say about now.
As for wicca, you misread. Try it again. If you need to whine about it
there is another forum for that.
But basically it comes down to by a clue. As I recall you weren't even
mentioned in the diatribe, mostly because I don't think your worth
mentioning. You're young, you'll get over it eventually.
