if we are thinking of the same pm's, she wouldnt forward them when asked. wonder why???

Unfortunately it seems that on ANY forum, there will always be a certain amount of jumping on the bandwagon. Another forum that I go on (not reptile related) has a huge thread running at the moment about the bullying etc that goes on on yet another forum . It seems to be human nature to follow the pack and try to be part of the in crowd. It's easy for people to sit at their keyboard and type things they would never say face to face.
This is why I mainly tend to lurk rather than actually post.

Edited for typos

I think too many people on here try to act 'hardcore' with the keyboard far too often...

It is true that people on here sometimes get abusive and there really is no need... why shouldnt everyone be able to enjoy a hobby which should bring people together? If its your first lizard then yeah your gonna make mistakes but a helping hand is better than yelling at someone...

And that's the exact reason I don't post too much. I'm new to reptiles, I've only had my beardie since Friday and although I've been researching for months there are still things that I'd like clarification on. BUT I don't want to ask in case I get jumped on I'm just one of those people who likes to check, check and check again.

Buy the best, forget the rest.

i believe the nerd term is flaming. and i haven't been here very long but i have seen it happen, not in the most extreme form but there are time people seem a little too harsh (and some other times way too harsh). and people just go along with it like some1 has set this president of being overly abusive and every1 follows suit like its the best way to go about things when it really isnt

At the end of the day, this is a discussion forum.... and people will have different opinions, that's just life. People will argue, people will gossip, and bitch, and occasionally backstab, they will form friendships, and stick up for each other. It's what happens. It happens in real life in any organisation too.

But these people do not pay your wages, they do not matter to you, they are not in your real life - if you don't agree with what 50 people have said, stick your neck out and tell it like you see it (without abuse or swearing or threats of course!). Even if you offend 90% of the forum but stay true to yourself... well at the end of the day, when you leave, it's probably not that likely you will ever meet those 90%.

People take this forum too seriously. I think it is harder for businesses, because everyone knows their name, and in most places, where they work, and can phone them at work. I've actually had harrassing phone calls at my work place from people I don't know, and don't really care about, on RFUK who didn't agree with something I've said/done here. You just have to ignore them and use the forum in the way you enjoy, stick to your guns and your own opinion, use your brain, and ignore those who don't use theirs.

It's easy for people who can't be found, don't have a name, face, or business on here to act all tough and mouth about. They know that you will never get their phone number, turn up at their place of work, or affect their real lives. So you find that those not affiliated with any business or having any real investment in the forums will often cause trouble because they can, and it's fun for them... even if they thought about what they were saying, they would not stop and change, because they think there are no "real" consequences for their actions.

Obviously, saying things like the moderating team are just part of the problem is a bad way to make friends on a forum where people give up hours of every day for unpaid work - and it is work, not always fun... but hey, if that's what you honesty believe, perhaps you could stick to it and try to change things for the better by telling the moderators you do believe are above board which posts and problems you are having with the others... or going above the moderators head to T-bo... and try to improve things. You can't really complain about a problem if you have made no effort to address it (well, you can complain.. but you can't expect it to be taken seriously).
