shadowfax Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 after a year or so on another forum (not fish related) ive just asked to have my membership wiped. im so fed up with the utterly nasty people on there. this is directed mostly at new people & others that dont conform to the ideas of the people on the forum. so even tho there are times when people are silly on here its never even close to truley being bad & out of hand! i think this site is a credit to all members & everyone invovled 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesejawa Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I have noticed on American forum that get so angry about bettas being kept in small tank or bowls. Funny to see the difference in different countrys. Also on here we do have a lot more people doing interesting things with there tanks and doing alot more DIY.

Barrie Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Was that almost a vote for the moderators??? Every forum has its own tone and we agree to what they are when we join so the simple thing is, you either accept them and go back or you go in other directions.

Fmxmatt Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Welcome to internet forums, where the people who's opinions aren't listened to in real life, force them down the throat of other people to make themselves feel better (hence why flames start) Anything that is said on internet forums, well even the internet, should be taken with a grain of salt. Don't let a few idiots who have no idea spoil it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fmxmatt Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Lol its true Theres a number of forums I dont "participate" in anymore for that reason. I'll still browse thru them, but I leave the arguing to the ignorant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 It always interests me how people who would never dream of speaking to someone like that face to face will be absolutely scathing in a forum. Pretty cowardly really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowfax Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 yeah i think thats what gets me, half of the people that talk like that to others on forums & email probably think its ok because they will never see them face to face. i wonder if they would have the balls to do it in person?? :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me love fishy Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Yeah maybe I am naiive, but I think most of the people that come to this forum really want to help others and share their experiences, rather than just get nasty and picky about things. Some of the baby forums I go to can get really nasty, you just need to pick a subject that people get fired up about and man it gets blown all our of proportion.

je_suis_ketan Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I have to say as a newbie, that this forum is great. People don't fire you down if you ask a question that is totally outside of your understanding but may seem silly to the more experienced. I've been on other forums (not fish related) and got absolutely shot down for asking a question, that after searching around the net for a while, I couldn't find the answer for.

David R Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 you just need to pick a subject that people get fired up about and man it gets blown all our of proportion. I guess thats why we're not allowed to discuss politics etc here..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
