The ever changing board.
Ryn | Sunday, September 10, 2000 - 08:57 pm  Time for me to revisit this thread. Anyone else notice how the board is filling with "hate" again tonight?? My thoughts are that the potential of a walkout that appears to have lost its steam has a lot of people popping on to vent. There is a lot of name calling int he general discussion area tonight. This is just from me, but any loyal board posters that read this and want to help out, please DON'T encourage the people calling others names. And attackign them is almost as bad as encouraging them. Best to post in that thread and push the offenders comment away from the bottom. If it s a REALLY bad post, you might post in the "Fan Clubhouse" area (at the TOP), under "Report Spam." Thanks and I would love to hear anyones thoughts on why the board is getting nasty tonight!!! |
Gail | Sunday, September 10, 2000 - 09:26 pm  Ryn, thanks for the reminder. My opinion . . the board seems to run in waves with the houseguests. It was like this the weekend before the last banishment too. It was also like this the weekend before Karen was banished. Unfortunately, the negative conversations have little to do with this weeks nominees. I too have seen tempers flaring on the board all day. You are right - there was a big adrenalin rush yesterday with the "George has a secret" thing. What a big fiasco/letdown that turn out to be. I thought he had figured out something good like the controls to the lap pool. Turns out, he was trying to get everyone to leave. I would like to ask people to be a little nicer to each other. When someone tries to redirect posting to an already existing folder, don't beat them up. Each airplane banner is generating 5 or more threads within minutes and not only is it a headache for the moderators to merge them, it makes for a very uneven thread and is disruptive to the existing conversation. I hate having to close a conversation and moving the posts to a larger folder. Not because of the work, just because it is an interruption for the posters. I would also like to mention that there are more moderators on this board then Ryn and myself. Keep that in mind when you start yelling at someone for trying to keep the Topics on the right topic or when someone suggests posting in an already existing thread. I saw a thread this morning where someone tried to redirect posting and got bashed and when the moderator tried to defend the person trying to redirect, he got bashed too. Please, think before you post a message attacking another poster on this board. We have a pretty great community here. Neil has big plans in store for the board after Big Brother. We have got some of the best discussions about Big Brother going on here at this site. You don't have to post happy, happy all the time, just don't attack your fellow BBFC posters is all we are asking. |
Scribe | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 04:09 am  Well, I'm glad I stopped by. I have enjoyed this board and for the following 2 primary reasons: (1) its uptodate and accurate and (2) there is little wasted time given to unpleasant postings and fights among posters. I hope it remains that way. You guys do a great job. |
Novasea | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 12:50 pm  Just knowing you heard is what will keep BBFC as good as it was This will need to be posted where the bashers can see it tho... some don't even read the updates before spouting off. Several have also noticed it happens in waves, so agreement there. Maybe we need a sub heading for Banners? I would be good to have them in order chronologically anyway. |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 04:17 pm  Ryn, et al I provided a thought yesterday that the stronger messages seem to be cyclic in nature--specifically in tune to banishment. Seems that about 3-4 days before banishment and up to Wednesday's banishment. I also suggested that just about everyone here is really great, just sometimes we get wrapped up in the intesntity and rooting for our favorites and claiming issues with our not-so-favorites. Then we all seem to calm down after a little self-reminding a nd scolding from the moderators and admin. Just my opinion on how and when it happens, since you asked. There have been a couple who have been discouraged to te point of thinking of not posting--btw Novasea--I am personally very happy to see your posts still. I hope you feel good about sticking around!! I'd like to keep those that get frustrated if they are willing to give it another shot after there experiences for 3 reasons. 1) They will add to the good posts, reducing the percentage of bad posts. 2) They provide good examples to the others. 3) Selfishly, I enjoy reading good quality posts--including the ones I don't agree with. That's part of the fun of this forum (at least for me) Ryn, I hope you put this, or something like it where others will be more likely to see it. All moderators and Neil, keep up the good work!!! Thanks and I apprecaite your efforts. |
