    amount of use of I and my in this post are a great example of what the disconnect is. You are trying to force the board to bend around what you want, rather than accept the community norms.[/QUOTE]@analog101 @The Moog

    Perspective, I'm not forcing anything. Why would I want to lol? I'm new, I didn't know the "community norms". These things could have been address in a more polite manner, is my point. I've apologized, despite, what I feel to be, an overreaction. Not that I don't think there's validation, I just think the manor in which it was approached was a tad rude. I didn't start this thread to argue like toddler, I started it to have a discussion with some like minded people. At this point it just comes across as a group think, witch hunt started by a very jaded, sad individual...tar and feathers and all that jazz...very disappointing[/QUOTE]

    Perhaps file under "Internet Behavior", but I always find it curious when someone new comes on to the board and commits an apparent error of forum etiquette, and instead of just letting it die they post multiple defensive/justifying posts and end with a backhanded acknowledgement of their error. This just seems to happen over and over again.

    Is it that important that someone is seen as not being in the wrong? Personally, I just realize that I'm going to do dumb things now and again, and that's just life (maybe I'm doing that right now). I don't feel any particular need to over-explain and/or justify my behavior.

    It's because, instead of being helpful, some of these people are just being a bunch of dickheads (not all of you, some have been very helpful and nice, thank you to those with manors). Perhaps, if this shit happens over and over again, theres a reason...but WhAt Do I kNow? I'm JuSt A n00b. The definition of crazy is repeating the same behavior and expecting different results. Heres a thought, if you want people to stop defending themselves? maybe stop attacking. Everyone being a dickhead can use that advice for life btw, not just on SB :D:thumbsup:

    as previously stated, there is "definitely a cultured approach to communications here, which you learn by reading the Boards, searching, and observation"

    Fuck! I should have learned more about the community I wanted to be a part. I should have lurked and observed more to get a feel of what this forum was all about. It’s ok though, I have thick skin.

    yea...I searched a few times after and honestly could not find a thread about collecting styles so IDK. If I had more time to look through everything I would. I'm a single mother of 2 young kids and I work full time. My day is pretty jam packed. As much as I'd love to sift through all the already created discussions, I'm hard pressed to find time. I thought it might be a good way to get to know people here to start some discussions as writing is quick for me and I can spare a min here and there. I'm not discouraged, but I can see there seems to be some very jaded people here... It happens in every scene, people forget what it was like when they were new and instead of being helpful they just roll theirs are lash out. I'm sticking around. I don't let dumb ass shit like this ruin my experiences.

    Fuck! maybe I should make this my entire life and do that! I'll let my kids fend for themselves and quit my job...I'll read every single thread on here. So many eggshells, where do I walk? I get it, i'll just stop starting conversations and contribute to others since I don't have the time to really explore that hard. Problem solved.

    lol, you guys wanna keep coming at me? I got about another 45 mins before my commute is over.

    Why are you bringing your kids into this? You act like no one else has kids or is a single parent on here. Get over yourself.

    Sometimes it's good to stop posting and come back later...

    Look, this whole thing was uncalled for. Said I would take this down, tried to apologize, people kept coming after me. I have a tendency to call things how I see them, and I just see a lot of jaded, over sensitive children on this thread. This apparently happens often so whatever. I wanted to get to know people here, apparently, this wasn’t the way to go about it. I like to write and share my thoughts, punish me lol. I mentioned my situation purely to let you know, time is kind of an issue for me. I used the search engine as suggested and came up empty. You guys came after me with torches and pitchforks. I have nothing against you or anyone else here... I just feel this whole thing could have been handled very differently. I was told by a few people that left this forum after years, that it changed and to watch out lol. I like to learn the hard way though :razz:

    Live and don't learn! That's what I do.
    I have lots of manners, and yet, no manors.

    She chills for a bit, we chills for bit. Sound okay?

    Quick assessment - I don't really have a problem with any of the newly started threads - and keep in mind, friends, there have only been four of them - but I also think that much of the advice offered about how to navigate the board, technically and interpersonally, is absolutely spot on. Some, less so.

    @MyVinylVeins, I'd just ask that you have another look at some of your posted reactions to what people here have had to say. I believe that I understand where you're coming from, but this is far from the first time that any of us have witnessed someone telling us that we're having a fit in a way that reads like someone having their own; when you call adults toddlers in seven different ways, 'laughing out loud' all the way, some might be right to take offense at being condescended to, y'know? Your heart very much seems to be in the right place, and I'd like to strongly encourage you to stick around to learn and contribute, but puffing up at every perceived slight is definitely not the way to calm the natives. Please now imagine a well phrased analogy about the proper way to prep the coals for a successful bar-b-q.

    Happy, as ever, to chat further about anything going down around town via PMland. This goes for the bristled and the bristlers.

    Kay? Kay.

    I know myvinylveins is being a gronk retaliating against the criticisms of her ineptitude (and will probably quit collecting in two days coz of this) but this whole pitchfork shit is overdone. Good traffic on the site lately, lets keep the chats going in the right places and mods do your jobs and be proper content cops hitting people up via PMs rather than enabling continual fresh meat bashing via fed up members voicing populist opinion against redundant threads and general misconduct.

    Being told to "Shut the fuck up" on an open discussion board.

    Not very moderator like.. do you have something personal against me? Or are you just going to ban me without warning like last time?

    Isn't being told to "shut the fuck up" a warning?

    What about 'She chills for a bit, we chills for bit. Sound okay?' wasn't clear? It's plenty moderator like when someone jumps in to stir shit some 38 seconds after the community has been asked to take a breath to ask that the request be respected. If you don't care for my phrasing, you're welcome to take it up with the rest of the staff.

    And you were warned in many ways and by many people before the ban, Glenn. Your fiction doesn't fly.

    I don't care for being painted as a liar that's for sure. Classic move... I remember that was your buddy @kichigai 's tactic back during the Longneck debacle. Anyways - time for the super-villian to reveal his master plan:

    I know my role as the token bad guy around these parts. And just like that, with a single post I have ceased the flood of criticism against @MyVinylVeins and taken her burden upon my own shoulders just like Jesus himself.. I've spent years and years trolling this board and it's members all for this one moment. My ability to cease thread conversations with a single post has been cultivated tirelessly. When I see a n00b being barraged by Skullbrain members over an inane thread... waiting in the shadows, patiently for that one moment where I can save the n00b's soul by cutting in and creating some kind of conflict with a tempestuous mod. Here I am, Skullbrain's true saviour.. the Jesus Christ of Sofvi. I accept all of your collecting sins...

    Hmmm I guess you were right after all about fiction eh @toothaction ;)

    OK @toothaction you can’t say this shit didn’t make you laugh. You guys remind me of my idiot mates who after arguing with drunk for hours on end, I return home from and realise I had a great night with.
