cB counciling, it would be a great idea.-jason Options

[*Statistik*]

I believe that we should have cB councilers. Why? Because some people in cb are treated harsh and unfairly. Some members here usually get bashed for making stupid topics, stupid posts, racial remarks, etc. I believe they should get help from the councilers privately on PM, or anywhere they feel comfortable. The councilers must be nice and helpful though..duh..yes..they would help the person thats getting counciled and give him/her ideas and plans to be better here in cB and try prevent bad things from happening. who's with me?

[*mzkandi*]

Thats what mods are for.

[*Statistik*]

Mhmm..not really. They're just here to close topics, see whats going on, guide noobie members, move topics, and all that. BUT IM TALKING REAL. Like having a big discussion privately

[*mipadi*]

Thats what mods are for.

Well put.

Besides, an Internet forum isn't the place to learn detailed social skills.

[iheartsimba]

Well just being a mod doesn't make you completely supportive and nice to everyone..I guess he wants someone he can talk to about it?

[*AngelicEyz00*]

cB counseling?

[*Statistik*]

cB counseling?

Oops, yes counseling. I spelt it wrong..

[*AngelicEyz00*]

It's all good.

[heyyfrankie]

what would they get counseled about?

n00b - HELPPPPP ME NOW!!
cB counselor - it's alright. take a deep breath and start from the beginning.
n00b - yeah, it all started when i posted that duplicate topic in the lounge!

like that?














lmao

[*Azarel*]

... Jason.

Get a life.

Seriously.

[sadolakced acid]

do you get to lay down in a comfy chair?

mm

[*basick*]

i need a cb counseler..

[Angel_Cece]

Thats what mods are for.

agreed. mods are basically councilers. but i see where your getting.

[iheartsimba]

n00b - yeah, it all started when i posted that duplicate topic in the lounge!

lmao

haha, Frankie, I love you

[JoJo_x]

Yeah, I get what you mean. Isn't that what mods are for? No offense, but I think some of the staff memebers here aren't all that welcoming to newbies.

Yes, of course they introduce themself to us in introductions, and put on that happy smiley==> , but when you go in the lounge, and post YOUR opinion, they're all like, "oh just shut up".

Seriously, if you're a people staff, at least make newbies feel a little welcomed.

If the converstaion becomes like this:

n00b - HELPPPPP ME NOW!!
cB counselor - it's alright. take a deep breath and start from the beginning.
n00b - yeah, it all started when i posted that duplicate topic in the lounge!

^Pretty much idiotic, and you should probably just be like, "that's the rule, now stop whining (or in a nicer way)", and ignore them.

I don't think there's a need for a counselor that much though, I mean, this is the internet. If you take these small things offensive, how do you deal with the real insults in reality?

[*Statistik*]

... Jason.

Get a life.

Seriously.

I f**king have a life, so shut up for once.

[Spirited Away]

Aside from moderators, we have Advice Abby. She gives advice and 'counsels', too.

[yummy_delight]

^ Yes.

If someone gets really upset because they've been bashed online, maybe they should visit a therapist IN REAL LIFE. Obviously, you've got issues if you're emotional about things that happen on something as trivial as an online forum.

Case in point:

I f**king have a life, so shut up for once.

[technicolour]

Seriously. Advice Abby is there for ya..

[Paradox of Life]

Lol. CB counselors. Probably the worst idea I've heard in a while. Createblog shouldn't be creating mental stress. If people are being a little mean to you, don't lose sleep over it.. o_o

[YourSuperior]

Well, maybe we should have like some people picked to be counselor, and they get a counselor member title. And they have a special forum for counseling, and they get moderating powers for only the counseling forum.

[short_stop08]

Yeah. I guess that's what's missing from cb. Counselors. It's a good idea but how would you know who will be mean and stuff like some mods and who would be nice happy guidance people like counselors. I kinda agree with everybody to a certain extent.

[dopeyalan]

lol, i suppose the idea is good, if it can make everything seem more peaceful around here...

=X but i doubt there will be enough people to make a difference...

[sadolakced acid]

the ultimate counseling is just stop comming to cB (yes i know one m)

[demolished]

It's better to let the mod's duty to be the same.

- Mod would not be a good idea to council people because ..

too much pressure
too much work
not worth it
stressful
more chances of heart attack
stronger pounding heart occur
fusteration occur
etc ..

- abby advice is hardly active. why depend on her/him/it?


Of course, councilers would be nice. i'm with you.

[*Azarel*]

^ HAHAHA. WHAT KIND OF IDIOT ARE YOU?? "MORE CHANCES OF HEART ATTACK?" ROFL. And Advice Abby is active monthly, kthx.

I f**king have a life, so shut up for once.

That's cute. It's also the reason I hate twelve-year-olds; no logic.

(22:07:30) kangsta4LIFE XD: anna, not to be rude or anything but u know the cb counseling topic I made? I was just seeing if people would think if its a great idea that would help..I didnt make it cuz I have no life..
(22:07:31) kangsta4LIFE XD: -_-

Funny, isn't it? That he's utterly rude in his post and then apologizes when he's being polite?

Honestly, though, online counseling is stupid; if you seriously have problems that require counseling, you shouldn't even be online. Let's be practical now: if this were put into effect, exactly what would said "counselors" do? Members are bashed on for making "stupid topics, stupid posts, racial remarks, etc." because they deserve it. Mods know to verbally warn such bashers.

And why not just put your little 'idea' into effect without a thread about it? I'm positively sure that admin will not create another member group just for your idea. Self-proclaimed counselers can do their little thing if they want, but the easiest thing to do if you're annoyed with cB members is to either leave or talk to said members.



God, this idea is so impractical.

Like I said before, if you're seeking this sort of help for your problems, you probably shouldn't even be online. People looking for said help should get off of their lazy asses and go out to get it instead of asking inexperienced teens for their 'advice.'

And, rofl, I never said I wasn't rude, and quite frankly, I'm really not going to change that just because it offends someone. I was just pointing out the irony that Jason was apologizing for stupid shit.

edit- AND LOL. "YOU WAS" HAHA, OH STEVEN, YOU SO GANGSTA, YOU IN DA HOOD. HAHAHAHA. You're from Cupertino, one of the richer cities in the area. Stop e-thugging.

what am i doing? i am just defending jason who you are bashing on for no reason... you honestly need to get a life.. get off your pc and stop catching feelings onlines... typing 2 page long FAQs for createblog, a recipe list, cb news, buttons list... and you calling jason a loser? hahaha wow you are pathetic... with all that time you have doin this online, take some time to brush your teeth or something.. chelsea clinton lookalike

funny you call me an e-thug.. i doubt you are half as rude and tactless in real life as you are here.. while i am not sayin anything extreme or nothing you the one attacking complete strangers.. its sad

So I wasn't going to sink to your level and post, but I will just one more time anyway. You get under my skin, Steven, you really fucking do, despite however much I hate to admit it. Good for you that you get satisfaction out of doing stupid shit. Good for you that you think you're the shit. You're not above anyone - nor am I - but you just so love to think you are. I'm not the only pathetic one, dear. You are too.

And when you say "bash for no reason," when is there ever reason to bash? Exactly. There's not - you're just being a hypocrite when you say that I'm doing it for no reason - because what reason do you have? Since when have you ever been Mr. Righteous? Never, so you have no room to talk shit.

And at least I don't look like a fucking retard who can't close my mouth in my pictures like you do. Watch your ass, bitch. Cupertino High isn't that big. I'm done with you; don't think I'm backing down, I'm just sick of your bullshit. I'm not degrading myself any further for you.

Okay, y'all, chill out. Can you please handle this with PMs or instant messaging?

[*basick*]

this is no issue carrie

she attacked me out of the blue and i replied... back to counseling lol

[hi-C]

Yes, back to counseling.

I actually don't think it's that bad of an idea. And as easy as it is to say "Don't let internet beef get to you," "stop coming to a site," people have a natural need to be liked, or at least accepted somewhat, no matter the setting, so it's hard to just let things go. However, I don't think we need a special member group devoted to counseling. Perhaps some volunteers from People staff (since they're in and around the community a lot more) to act as peer mediators?

Well, we're always here if people wanna PM us. I don't think there needs to be certain special people; members can PM us asking for help or whatever anytime they want.

[*basick*]

not to be rude or anything.. and this is sort of a weird question .. but when you name names why am i always first? its not alphabetical order... not whoever posted first order...

[Spirited Away]

This is close to a debate so let me break this down to make things as easy to understand as possible for those who is confused.

It's better to let the mod's duty to be the same.
- Mod would not be a good idea to council people because ..

too much pressure
        too much work
        not worth it
        stressful
        more chances of heart attack
        stronger pounding heart occur
        fusteration occur
        etc ..

First, who are you to say we have "too much pressure"? Have you ever been a mod? I thought not, then how would you know if it's "too much work", "stressful"... etc?

Second, I'm sorry but those have got to be the saddest compilation of "evidence" or "proof" I've ever seen. Why? Though not all moderators may want to counsel, a few of us wouldn't mind because "People Staff" are here to communicate with members. It's already one of our job description.

Third, if you need someone to get you through all your life's problem, then you either need a friend (on or off cB), or a shrink. Hint: the former is the more cost-friendly alternative.

abby advice is hardly active. why depend on her/him/it?
Of course, councilers would be nice. i'm with you.

What do you mean Abby is hardly active? You want someone to solve your problem for you, but you want it RIGHT AWAY? Wow, life doesn't work that way. When you were conceived, your parents had to wait 9 months for you.

Abby is featured on cBn each month. As much as she would like to be more active, cBn currently only runs once a month so it's not possible for her. It's not like she doesn't respond to her mails. She gives her response to us now on a monthly basis like we've agreed on. If she fails to do so, then sure, she's not dependable, but so far, she's pretty dependable to me.

Maybe you're too young to understand what dependability is, but don't use your ignorance to judge others harshly.

the only reason people will be treated harshly here by mods or any other respectable member here is because

[*wind&fire*]

honestly... counselling over the internet is a little unpractical... couselling for an internet issue? the problem would most likely be that you HAVE an issue on the net... get off the computer and talk to some one real...

[Spirited Away]

I asked Abby about this and she says she has been answering ALL of her mail since she teamed up with CB News.

But i'm just posting my thoughts.     Well, if it's okay with the mod about counciling then the mod do not have to  belive what i say.
i dont think i need one. 

And I was just posting my "thoughts" about your thoughts. So what's the problem? I THOUGHT that your rant didn't make sense and wanted to point that out to you.

i was being ignorant? how? 
i mean, i dont see her posting in her own thread in relationship forum 

Exactly. That's what I mean by ignorance. You don't see her posting so you think she's not responding to her mails and that she's not dependable? If you had read the thread in the Relationship forum AT ALL, you'd know that Abby is teamed up with CB News. Just because you haven't been paying attention you automatically say that Abby is someone not dependable. You're put her sincerity, dependability, honesty in question because YOU are at fault? That's what I meant by ignorance.

I dont see her posting every month anymore. Do you? 

I do. And so did all those people who actually paid attention to Abby before blabbing on stuff they don't know about.

Issue ONE

I ALSO MADE THE NOTICE THAT ABBY WILL BE FEATURED IN CBNEWS ON JULY 7TH (bold red part). AND EVEN BEFORE THAT, ON JUNE 19TH (last post in the thread) I SAID THAT ABBY IS IN CBNEWS.

... do you not read? She teamed up with us. Since every newspaper has an advice column, she thought, and we heartily agree, that it'd be a good idea for us to feature her. She is NOT using cBN's account... what are you talking about? She's letting us feature her advice. What part of the word feature do you not understand?

Then, what's the point of her thread? Maybe ..uh ..  delete her post wouldnt make me think that way.

Erm, the point is to let people know that there's an Advice Abby availble if they ever need any "COUNSELING". If you still don't get my point let me break this down as simply as I could: Abby counsels. She gives advice. Yea.

i would be "blabbing" but its not my fault. how would i know?

What do you mean it's not your fault. You said that Abby wasn't dependable. YOU SAID IT, so IT IS your fault.

i think this counseling thing is a good idea...but not for things like member bashing. advice abby seems to be a one time thing. she just gives you one answer (if she does answer) and moves on. some people need more than just one paragraph of advice. plus, you can't have two people discussing one thing in a thread because that's spam and you can't ask advice abby for more advice because she has other priorities.

When did you sent it to her? We've got no complaint since she joined our team in June.

As for getting more than one advice, you only get one advice from one shrink. If you want another advice you'd have to pay for another shrink. If you don't think Abby is enough, talk to a friend or a real life counselor. It's not plausible to expect detailed responses to everything that goes on in your life from someone over the net. No one, certainly not cB members anyway, can help you with that except for your close friends and family.

guide noobie members

you just said it yourself? that is counseling

[allboutme2987]

erm i think that if people start having problems on cB then they could just stop using it.....and i dont think that the counselors could help very much because what are they suppose to do... go to the person whos bulling the other person and be lik stop bothering him ur making him go crazy?

i sent it to her in may...i don't know the exact date because i made up an e-mail address and i forget what it was, i'm trying to remember though.

it doesn't matter that much anyway, i solved the problem.

{edit}
i found it, i sent it to her on may 7th...it was kind of long though...maybe that's why.

[allboutme2987]

o yea and also, i do agree that some of the mods are kinda rude...

If you still need help (a little overdue), you can still e-mail it to her at her new address and she'll be sure to answer it; we've struck a little deal with her at cBn.

which mod/s is/are rude?

[BrokenDream]

uhm, chill first of all. why yell at the mod for? not going to do anything.

I say it can be a good idea. but for big things and for serious situations. I just think only if you are getting harassed, or what-so-ever like that is a good time for a cb councelor. Or if you just cannot stand this one person, and he/she is not leaving you alone. that is the real time to take action.

I have to agree, some mods are rude. yes.

First, if the situation is 'serious' what do you expect a cB counselor to do for you? If there is a serious situation, the best someone over the internet can help, aside from advising you, is throw you a number for a hotline.

Second, it is DANGEROUS (no, i'm not paranoid, i'm worried for you all) to trust someone over the internet with your private information, which is something you need to do to be able to get the best help. Not only is it dangerous, it is a stupid, irresponsible thing to do.

Third, though I know there are a few mature and intelligent kids on cB, they are no more than KIDS. It's true that some things are better when you talk over your problem with your peers, but no matter how mature, kind, or smart your cB counselor may be, he/she DOES NOT HAVE THE MEANS to help you like a real professional can.

Believe me when I say, if one step goes wrong in a 'serious situation', not only does the person who seeks counsel gets hurt, the counselor will feel responsible for the hurt. It's a psychological effect that not everyone, adults even, can deal with let alone an untrained, inexperienced kid from cB.

In serious situations, kids go to adult for help. For things like how-do-I-get-my-crush-to-like-me, there's Advice Abby.


Now then, would you all—those who expressed a dislike for "some" mods—be so kind as to grace us with the names of moderators who are rude and explain in what instance they were rude?

[*disco infiltrator*]

^ And when you are explaining to us who is overly rude and how, take into consideration that we too, just like you, are human beings and not robots. Some people seem to have that impression.

Exactly. But since you folks want counseling, moderators will counsel you as best as we can on this topic. Speak up.
