June 16, 20179 yr Anybody know what "0 Warning Points" means ? It appears below the number of posts that I have made, starting with my first post on GT. We each have one as the forum systems usually allow warning points to be given, but only you and the Mods/Admins can see yours. I am not aware that warning points are given here on this forum - or perhaps, like you, I have just been a good boy? LOL
June 17, 20179 yr I've noticed that since the recent suspensions have been in place, there is more activity in the Forum...more posts and replies. A few weeks ago, I'd hit the "new content" button and find little that was new, not the case now.

June 19, 20179 yr that's very unfortunate. One would think that gays are gentler part of humanity but is seems to be wishful thinking at the moment by what we can read on the forum
June 19, 20179 yr Most gays i know are more bitchy than the straight counterpart lol. And also easily offended.
June 19, 20179 yr One would think that gays are gentler part of humanity but is seems to be wishful thinking at the moment by what we can read on the forum Hopefully you can see the reality of this world and realize that the negatives in this forum are very minor and in no way portray fellow gays as combative and mean as heterosexuals can be. On average we gays ARE the gentler part of humanity.
June 19, 20179 yr Sadly Vinapu it seems it was shortlived...Trolls just open more accounts, so continuous pruning may be required. I suspect some have multiple accounts.

June 19, 20179 yr Always when looking at the mirror put your glasses on first We don't need glasses to look at the mirror, any near-sighted can tell you that.
June 20, 20179 yr Yet another topic was locked due to a couple of bickering trolls. Suspension or termination of membership is probably better than having interesting threads locked.
June 20, 20179 yr so it looks Scooby's cooling heads therapy worked I am one of those who feel more positive about he blog recently, but hadn't connected it to the suspensions. But now that you mention it, I think that may be the reason I feel more like contributing. I found the sniping quite tedious, and it made me skip whole threads, as once it started, it never seemed to stop. So my thanks to the moderator.
June 21, 20179 yr On average we gays ARE the gentler part of humanity. Except on gay forums, which can bring out the worst in people. Normally "gentle" guys can become incredibly vindictive, spiteful and nasty. Maybe this is a consequence of them having weak personalities in real life.
June 21, 20179 yr That's actually quite an interesting theory, a447a. It would explain some guys' behavior here.
June 21, 20179 yr Except on gay forums, which can bring out the worst in people. Normally "gentle" guys can become incredibly vindictive, spiteful and nasty. Maybe this is a consequence of them having weak personalities in real life. If gay forums bring out the worst in people, what can we say about straight forums? The Islamist ISIS propaganda forums are populated by straights, or at least people in the closet, and they bring out jihadist attacks that kill tens of innocent people. If we talk exclusively about discussions, one can see worst in people face-to-face, especially when some alcohol is around. For many of us participating in forums, they are as "real life" as the breathing of the lungs and beating of the heart. They are a source of information and distraction, maybe some laughs, not a screen to hide behind. For some they can also be a virtual reality where putting aside their weak personalities they become sanctimonious policemen going after the sinful who disturb their ideal paradise of love and peace. This can happen when taking a gay forum, or any forum, too seriously. In any case in the years I have been here, Scooby has effectively moderated this forum, and "the worst in people" is only in the eyes of the beholders, some with very sensitive eyes. So there is not really a need for amateur moderators to prop up and do their own trolling.
June 21, 20179 yr Yet another topic was locked due to a couple of bickering trolls. Suspension or termination of membership is probably better than having interesting threads locked. I agree. Suspensions are the only option to keep this forum a nice place to visit
