Quoting Pandora:
Now however, the site seems to have a new 'anything goes' policy, and the forum (and chat room) is full of political debates. Iam not against a good debate, and I find some of the issues brought up quite relevant, but when people (especially women) are being told to 'sht their mouth ladie..and get a new hairdo..or do sm cookin', I think that its unacceptable! |
I have been a member of this site for neally a year now and have made some very good friends, but i too agree that over the last few weeks it does seem to have gone down hill.
I enjoy reading all the forum letters and enjoy talking in the chat room, but sometimes there are certain members when they are together in the chat room appear to take delight in starting arguements and putting females down.Sometimes just picking on one person and being really insulting to them.
Lets have the old TC back please and shopie please don't leave you are a valueable member of this site.

Here is some food for thought. I have been a member nearly a year as well. The first week I was at this site, I was ridiculed, bullied and was slammed for the country I live in. Well, believe me this was a terrible first impression I had of this site. Who the heck wants to spend time at a site when you are personally attacked. I also realized that at the end of day, I couldn't hold ill feelings for someone, whom I don't even know. Really, does it matter in the whole scheme of life, to hold so much anger inside. I didn't intend or was looking to make friends here. But then coming here day after day and reading and chatting with people I started to develop relationships here. I personally have broaden my knowledge from reading people's posts, whether I agree with them or not. Yes, most of the time they are translations from females to their boyfriends. And yes, most of the time I still can't translate them. So I pick a post that either I have knowledge about or can add some feedback too. I happen to think there are other people who add value to this site, other than translating Turkish. Yes, I understand this is a Turkish Language site. But for me it's more. I won't apologize for this and you don't have to agree with me. But who am I or who are you to dictate what gets posted here. I think that's why we have an admin to regulate this. Don't get me wrong, I understand there needs to be rules. Rules are put in place, because of the few that abuse them. I don't think anyone should tolerate verbal abuse here and that's why you send your complaint to the admin of this site. He seems to be a very level minded person that addresses the issues when need be. However, he doesn't get involved with the everyday events at this site. Which quite honestly he shouldn't have to. We should all get along or have enough respect for each other's post's and opinions, even if you don't agree with them.

Let me or Admin know who are the troublesome people, give some examples (messages, chat logs) and we'll take care of that. It's impossible for us to always know what's going on on the site but if you help us, we can take care of things. I think Admin posted a message once asking people to inform him of problems in the forums, please, it's really important and helpful that you let us know when there are issues and not always expect us to know everything that's going on here.
Also, thank you to all of you who care that this site is good. It's thanks to your effort that we can be so good .

I must be honest I don't really use the chatroom because of this! I've seen some very choice words and people being insulted so I tend to stay away, but now it is being monitored I will look again.

Dear Susie, I think I should draw your attention to Forum Rule No. 11 :-
11. Postings about tea; explaining any subject from a beverage perspective; trying to influence others with your tea making skills; getting tea involved in any subject and/or any subjects with tea as the main theme is prohibited. This is a BEVERAGE - FREE website where all members should feel comfortable whether they are thirsty, caffeine intolerant, or whatever.
! (Maybe I got it wrong ! )
