Cgipson banned? Huh?

I wish this forum software had a "Dislike" link on it. I could wear it out on a few topics like this one.

You can always revert to these, when you want to express your baleful feelings: :x :roll:layball:

It's all about subtext, you know?

This is a ban that does not bother me in the least. Perhaps I'm the minority. That's fine. Was a bit tired of his excessive use of exclamation points and smilies. #shrug

I'm tired of your hashtags!

I think you're suppose to #hashtag #hashtags....#YOLO

Like a lot of people here I like Charlie, but I'm not a bit surprised at this. Watching Charlie push the buttons of whomever he was disagreeing with was kind of like watching an enthusiastic display of whack-a-mole.

Honest critique is something we've tried to encourage where we can and we are not opposed to it. Where the problem stems from is acceptance.

Many who give critique expect it to be accepted or followed; whilst those who get it do not always agree (for whatever reason). Critique should be a discussion process, where in each person can air their views and then offer the other side the chance to respond. They might not agree, they might disagree or debate back and that is part of the process. The two and fro shouldn't ever come to blows because its not an argument its a debate.

Sadly there are times where people (on both sides) get annoyed. Someone isn't accepting their viewpoint and things start to shift from debate into snide comments; or others jump in to "defend a friend" or viewpoint and again we start to have snide comments or a beat down of aggressive behaviour upon another member.

This is a mature forum for photographic discussion - users should not have to fend of attacks or beat downs and the whole "its the brutal honest truth" has nothing to do with it. It's about learning to talk with the written word in a polite and clam manner.



Its not unique to TPF and is a problem experienced on many larger communities. We CAN help fix it though - by leading by example as we mods attempt to do so and by having the key active members also do likewise. If you help you can be the solution.

i wanted to just quote this back to Overread in pm buy can't figure out how to copy/paste this in pm,so here goes....I think a problem message boards have in general is the fact that we blurt out the idea that we quickly formed...no inflection,no moment for interruption,etc.I stand by my thoughts that enforcement is haphazard,that OP's do a pretty good job,and that I hope Charlie does return.If you think it's odd that I say enforcement is haphazard,and the OPs do a pretty good job,well,that's the way I see it.

90 days. You will have to ask the mods why. I don't want to get in trouble for telling you. I miss him too!

Oooooo Kathy likes the bad boys

He has a sense of humor. Sometimes he was out of line, and that is why I liked him.

aww, that's all right. We do the best we can do, and obviously at times being the enforcer of the rules isn't going to sit well with everyone, for varying reasons. " X said pretty much the same thing that Y did, how'd they miss that? Why is X in trouble when Y is over here saying it again? Double standards, favoritism, just plain mean...." I get it, all the mods do. I can't take offense at someone saying it looks inconsistent, because I don't doubt that it can at times. Again, don't hesitate to report stuff we might have overlooked. ..... I just don't like the team being called the gestapo, or The Man, or any of the other unkind things that have been flung at us.

I've seen a couple of "IBTL", and we don't want to lock the thread...although I'm not sure what else needs to be said. But...carry on if you'd like.

Past tense, Kathy?! nahhh...!

There is no emoticon strong enough to express the so-called "baleful feelings" over this situation.

If I ever win the lottery, I'm going to buy a pair just like it!!

I'll probably keep mine, but just make them all perky-like.

See...Charlie HAS to come back again! He'd miss the avatar and suggestive tangents!
