We’ve had a lull in the fighting and feuding here at JC, so I’d like to know
what people think about the less frenetic message boards.@tommy-toxen wrote:
the flamings can be a good fun to read (or good fun to mock the authors), but there’s no need for them to spill over onto serious threads.
Good point ToM, after all we don’t want to see JC users leaving because
of the flaming spilling all over the boards do we?@tommy-toxen wrote:
if someone made a “my mum died of cancer” thread for example they wouldn’t want two selfish f**ks squabbling in it about some unimportant tiff carried on from some other thread.
Quite right ToM. Problem is a lot of them do this stuff, and worse. Then
they get there accounts deleted so no one can trawl up the evidence of
their past misdemeanors.@tommy-toxen wrote:
But if contained, should be encouraged! They bring in the ratings!
Got to disagree there ToM. The number of ‘views’ a thread receives is
massively inflated by just a few contributors. I may ‘view’ a thread five
times to read other peoples posts before I post myself. Then I ‘view’ the
post five times again to read other peoples responses to that post. So
there you have it. I’ve ‘viewed’ the thread twelve times and made only
two posts.@Ow£n Ka$h wrote:

He’s spot on when he says that the number of ‘views’ a thread recieves is inflated by just a few contributors who return time and time and time again to re-read the crap that has been posted in quick-fire sucession.
I dont really have a care in the world as it normally does not involve me.
What i do not condone is baiting. People starting a thread purely to stir up a particular member into replying and beginning a slanging match. One such topic (or even two now) have just been set up trying to stir up hate. What is it over? NOTHING! :roll: I dont care if its a ratings winner. What are we BBC1 and ITV? :roll:
Personally i feel heated discussions should be left to the serious topics and debate forum. This way it is about a given topic, and not complete drivel over which clique or sisterhood can rally up the most troops to b*tch slap the other.
End.

^very well put and bang on target Rainy. =D>Oh and P.s
Its healthy to have differing views about subjects, we are all different and its good to see all sides. Its when it gets personal, thats the part where normally immature users throw out their toys because they feel they aren’t winning the debate.
But of course, we are adults here…are we not?
No lamby, i did not say fighting….or did i. Do you wish to correct me?
Its brewing, and it is wanted.

Dont bother me one way or tuther to be honest if people row they row if the flame thye flame if they shag they shag if thye drivel they drivel if they talk b0ll0x so be it it all makes this place the good the bad and the ugly 8)
I tend not to post on the slagging off and the mud slinging threads, but i do read them (as most people on the boards do, although most wont admit it) we all have that voyeur part of our personalities, its human nature to want to know whats going on (or maybe im just a nosey bint :wink: ), all that aside i still voted that i prefer it without the fighting.
When this board first started it was with a community spirit and a sense of people coming together to have fun, laughter and enjoy each others company. It was not as it is now, “she did this to me” “he said this” “hes a t**t” “shes a slag” ect ect.I still use the boards although i rarely post now, but I miss the old boards. Maybe im stuck in my ways and a hater of change but jc boards used to be a place to share opinons and except other peoples beliefs and if you didn’t agree with them you put an intelligent argument as to why not, without the name calling, abuse and b ollocks that has nothing to do with the origional thread.
Every message board of this size will have members tiffs and tit for tat abuse, but its seems over the last 12 months that there hasnt been much of anything else, ok so posters need to make interesting threads and give the board new life, but that isnt going to happen if new users as well as old ones are subject to torrents of childish venting and every thread turns into a free for all with insults.
As adults we should be able to work through the odd scuff and get on with it, but do we really need all this agro when we have so much shyte to deal with in real life, i thought this place was somewhere to get away for a while and interact with others, if ya wanna go kick someones face in go into town with the other mindless numb f uckwits and take yer chances with them and the law, theres no need to bring it here, if yer stressed take up martial arts, kick the c rap out ya sofa, shag the missus/hubby senseless, why is there such a need to launch an attack on a message board?, better ways to vent your frustrations dont ya think?
