How to behave on an Internet Forum

Without treating people as children of three like you are the teacher of Kindergarten maybe? Without being very arrogant & patronising maybe? Don´t know if that rule is in that link you gave, but you surely don´t expect me/us to click on obscure links without knowing the source?

This is quite possibly the most patronising, condescending and sanctimonious thing ever posted here.

Why this rude reaction? Was it necessary Trudy? I think alameda has a good point! Maybe this is a conversation we should have!

 OMG please Catwoman.....don´t make me lose COMPLETE faith in this site.....

"The Naughty Step" was nausiating, this is even more sick-making

Is this a kindergarten now?

Nice one alameda, most of these steps are sound and should be followed.

Have any of you been to other forums?!  Trust me this site is very tame and very well-behaved!!!

 Thanks Alameda - this would be absolutely lovely and very useful i´m sure, if only the site wasn´t BANNED IN TURKEY!! 

Hilarious video Alameda  , especially the "troll" and  "post counter" sections.  Seems someone has recognised herself already .

 Yes it is oh little one

Oh! I got it through ktunnel!  Actually I though it was quite amusing!

 Is this good internet practice peacetrain?

Actually I didn´t watch it all....

 Try Videojug because that´s where youtube got it from.

The funniest part about it, is the thought of Alameda trawling through "search" on Youtube to find it!

i just dont understand what is so wrong with this video? i now watched it. whats so fuss about it?

 Shame . . . it was indeed very funny.

By the look on your face, I think a good dose of castor oil from the nursery´s nurse is needed.

 So I hope you will behave the way Alameda (and the video) tells you in future Femme

What happened to you, CW? Did you decide to become as sweet and innocent as a nun? You, of all people, were the one that could be furious when someone was patronising you and now you are tame? Not a good change.

If you call my post rude then you should read better what Alameda said. So patronising, ´madam´ does know how it should be. Posts like that make so pissed! I´m not a child of hers (I thank God on my bare knees!) which she can tell what to do and what not. It is not about the content of the provided link - I didn´t even look at it - but the tone in the message is making me so angry. This site with all these pathetic rules and posts turns more and more into a very much censored one. Why I still stay? Because the are normal people here, honest people who - even sometimes in a not so polite way - tell what´s realling bothering them. There are funny people and people one can seriously talk to. People like LIR, Elisabeth, Teaschip, DK, DD, GG, Sonunda, TheHandsom, TheAenigma (yes, also the two latter even though I ´fight´ with them sometimes) and many more. But I hate hypocrisy and I´ll show that!!

And if my post is ´rude´ again (oh, naughty me, I shouldn´t be so rebellious), then delete it. Lately that´s the best capacity of mods and admins here

 so far i recognize only one person described in the vid, unfortunately im not allowed to refer her anymore.

I agree 100% with everything you say Trudy. 

what a shame trudy didnt mention me among those funny and honest people

 thats something im used to now, there are kinda seasons where cat turns into tiger trolling all around then suddenly into a nice innocent cat.

but, come on, trudy, dont get angry, at least you are not one of those weak members whom the admins have to always protect and defend.

I AM angry!!!!!

PS. Can anyone post please something hilarious (type triple ROFL) in ´what made you laugh today´? I really need it!

Seems some have taken a dislike to the video.  Some people have no sense of humour when it suits them. 

Wow, it doesn´t take much to get some people agitated.

Aenigma, you´re the biggest moaner and groaner on the site.  (I hope that´s direct enough for you dear .  )

Off I go to the naughty step before the standard accusation of "hypocrisy" is levelled. 

Finteresting

hahahahahaahaha

 What?  You will even thank God on your bare knees?  

Well I can only say it´s amazing that people who haven´t even looked at the link are so upset about it.

The rules are not mine, they are standard forum guidlines used on just about every forum that tries to have civil and meaningful discourse.

They have been around since people have been gathering online and exchanging ideas.

Here´s another not so funny version from the Mozilla Forum.....and here is yet another version from a Linux forum

Here you go Trudy, hope it makes you smile

http://www.acapela-group.com/Greetings/Winter-1-bb4c0a248f4b0

seems like someone very peaceful got realeased from psychatric treatment.

 Worth a little smile, not the triple ROFL I asked for. Can you make another please?

 Excuse me?  I don´t understand what you are implying here Peacetrain.

 Alameda, I know I said Aenigma needed a dose of castor oil, but this is going too far! 

Me? No, I wasn´t released because I wasn´t there. But with more posts this topic started with, I think I´ll need the treatment. (Will you visit me, even though you weren´t on the ´funny people list?)

  well, it will soooo difficult to forgive you for excluding me from the list.

but i will drop in with some good wine

 re-released actually

btw Don´t beat about the bush, you can actually mention my name .  I´ve never complained to a mod about anything said about or to me, so your safe.

 I think Femme was just copying YOUR style Peacetrain.

 , yeh, I agree!!!

You all "agree" but it seems none of you practice what you preach....

Actually I think I might fall into the TROLL category, how about you?

 Well mostly I am just here to have fun with my friends.  But whatever turns you on I suppose....

 Don´t you worry dear. 

Which I purposefully began to copy from you many months ago!  Aaaaah isn´t that cute?

 Uhmm when I want fun with my friends I go out to a club, or the pub, see a live band in the local spit and sawdust, or even sometimes for a meal................  

 Well don´t we all?  But this implies you don´t want fun here to?

Anyway, thanks for sharing your social life with us

 I said it wouldn´t be long before someone played this card.  I think it´s one of those "loser" strategies mentioned on the video, only it used a different accusation. 

I am not implying anything - you are making an assumption!   I am enjoying myself here tonight  infact I am not even paying that much attention to Strictly Come Dancing

Hey, I miss that kind of social activity myself... Have fun.

 How about this for a triple ROFL?  

Well I split my sides when I read it.  So much of her material to choose from though.

Glad I gave you a laugh peacetrain. 

Goodnight.

 Cor...................... that Tom Shepard, he is one hot piece of stuff!  My attention is back on Strictly   

Well, I´ve had a lovely evening here with friends and trolls and frequent posters (you know who you are you little tikes ).  But now I must tear myself away from this veritable utopia that is FemmAenigma Class . . . sorry, I forgot where I was,  I mean Turkish Language Class.

Thank you one and all .

You are welcome Peacetrain. 

Have a nice evening.

Apologies for being such a frequent visitor lately

When I read the posts of peacetrain I sense desperation.  Like that of one of those sad little school girls who was never popular/pretty/fun.

One wanting so badly to be accepted by the “in” group - but shunned.  So the desperation turns into loathing for anyone that is what she wants so badly to be and out of that hatred, she attacks all those that she perceives to be everything she is not.  

She tries to hide her assaults with sarcasm and humor, thinking maybe no one will notice.......and most likely still hoping beyond hope that she will still be accepted.

The problem is that all she does is show herself for what she is…….someone who is bitter and angry. 

What is so amusing here is that all of you who are decrying what you pretend to find so distasteful in the forums, are always right in the thick of it.

No one is forcing you to get involved and yet there you all are….alameda, LL, bydand, peacetrain….

Is someone forcing you all to make your snarky comments?  Nope, it’s just that you are hypocrites who can’t take what you dish and then pretend to be wounded victims when you get called on the carpet for your fakeness.

Quite funny really.

 Now your description could be anyone of several people   And GG, are you never sarcastic in post? 

 LIkewise, is anyone asking you make your "Snarky" comments (must an American word).  I for one have never pretended to be a wounded victim, and neither has our Scottish friend Bydand (who incidentally voted for Canli and not me and I love Scotland )  or Peacetrain and Alameda for that matter ............... funny, yes it is funny..................this whole sharade is funny!  

 I don´t think you should have used the plural in front of Scottish friend on here LL  Sorry about the vote, it was only when you mentioned you might be too busy that I finally decided.

Lol, I love the way TC threads evolve. Kind of brings back the old:

DD you are BRILLIANT!!      -  ever thought of doing stand-up??

Yeah, but then I watched Tommy Tiernan and realised I´ll never come close to his genius

He is very funny - thanks for the link - I was crying with laughter!

 The difference LL, is that I am not screaming for changes to the forums. 

 Too funny that just because you don´t know a word you say it must be American!! 

The adjective snarky is first recorded in 1906. It is from dialectal British snark, meaning ´to nag, find fault with´, which is probably the same word as snark, snork, meaning ´to snort, snore´. (The likely connection is the derisive snorting sound of someone who is always finding fault.) Most dictionaries label snarky as "Chiefly British Slang."

 someone will have a heartattack tonight.

GG, you proved to me that you can read, search for (you must have a better search engine), find a definition and post it here. good job, thanks for enlightening us

now, one thing, you forgot to paste a link someone will not be happy about that,

+

you have to prove your info is correct/update by giving the sources

thank you for your immediate cooperation.

If only I had those elastic legs that our representatives in the video have

I think our website sucks. We don´t meet much of the standards  Only the last one though, we are all excellent

 Cue the violins please . . .

     sniffle . . . sniffle . . . sniffle . . . it´s true what GG says . . . sniffle, sniffle, I can´t deny it any longer.  I am indeed at the point of absolute desperation . . . for a good razor!

I tried everything to look like the "in " group.  I bleached my hair, had my ears pinned down too, but they just sprang up again.  I tried to set a new trend,  you´ve heard of a Brazilian? Well I had a Glaswegian . . . paisley design through the hair on my ar . . . ar . . . . arms.  I really can´t understand why it never caught on . . .. 

  Oh . . . the shunning . . .  . . . the shunning got so very bad.  I was no match for those beautiful  girls in the "in" group     and what made it worse was my "Glaswegian" didn´t last more than a couple of days.  I spent so much money on razors I never had the money to bribe my way into the good books of the "in" group.  I was never good enough for the cheerleading team either, even though I told them I had belonged to the same team as GW Bush in my last school. 

Pretty soon my desperation turned to loathing . . . oh the loaaaaaathing . . . the loathing was consuming me (as were the lice).  I loathed anyone who reflected the image I wanted for myself . . . I was so fed up of not being able to rub the fake tan in and ending up looking like an orangutan.  I  wanted so badly to be one of the "in" group and gradually my loathing turned to pure hatred and out of that hatred, I attacked all those that I perceived to be everything I was  not.   

I deliberately started a whoo . . . whoo . . .whoo . . .whooping cough epidemic on one occasion, a particularly nasty strain as everytime a coughing fit set in sufferers had the uncontrollable urge to scratch their armpits.  This didn´t go down well with the guys and I was shunned even more after that.

After my traumatic school days ended I graduated with honours at the local tattoo parlour, gaining a special distinction in underarm and nostril hair plaiting and ear lobe henna decoration. 

Clutching my newly gained qualification, I offered the "in" group special discounts in order to gain their friendship, but they simply viewed my talents with disdain.

I tried a new tactic, I joined the "in" group´s chat forums . . . at least they couldn´t see me there.  But it wasn´t long before the odd slip, such as professing my love for babanas and peanuts on the "what is your favourite snack?" thread, gave me away.  My request for advice on what a hairy girl should expect during a visit to the Turkish baths wasn´t helpful either. 

Pretty soon my efforts to be accepted by the "in" group seemed futile and so I succumbed to the dark side and began assaults, all the time trying to disguise the sar-ca-ca-ca-ca-casm and hum-or-or-or-or, hoping beyond hope that I would one day be accepted.

The problem is that all I do is show myself for what I am…….someone who is bitter and angry .. . WHEN SOMEONE NICKS ME BANANAS!!!!!       

Knowing I´m the only one sporting a Glaswegian doesn´t help either . . . anyone fancy giving me a Mancunian for half the going rate? 

Oh, what a relief to get that off my chest (the confession, not the hair ), and I owe it all to GG. 

Thanks doll, I couldn´t have faced the truth, or shared it, without you.   

 Offfffff!  You trouble maker.  Ok, just for you...here is the link:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/snarky

 A bit over the top and drama queen-ish, but I expected no less from you

 Hey, you use the same dictionary that i often refer to

Very funny...so have we concluded how many does it take?

 Well . . . I have already mentioned on this site . . . I´ve never been the same since, at the age of 8, a donkey I was riding at a seaside resort, decided to cut loose and head for the waves.
