I understand some of you dont see my point, and i understand..., Im just frustrated Options

Edit: the following message is a result of frustration, anger, and almost insanity that occured last night. I am not going to cross it out nor am i going to edit it, because I feel like maybe what I said could possibly be helpful in the future. What I'm trying to say out of all that is below, is pretty much that cB is changing evryday little by little, it worries me and although we cant prevent change entirely, we can still monitor and watch the site like mature people. The favt is that we all love cB other wise we wouldnt be on here, but at the same time we have all signed off of cB and go "jeeze he was a pain in the a$$" or "dang, i just got told off" and its not a very good feeling. Now I understand the real world occurs, and life is rough, but if you could just take a deep breath and try your hardest to view it this way, maybe youll notice where im coming from and why I am so worried about this amazing site I've known for about a year and a half



Please dont take the following as me sayng i hate you all, or that i think you guys dont deserve yor jobs, and thats its all the mods fault because in reality im just so frustrated and mods are a good point to bring out. so please read and try to understand


Honestly, I am so fed up and agrivated with the site right now it's not even funny. Today I was thinking, and it occurred to me that simple innocent people come onto this site looking for advice, and guidance and everyone on the site just totally shuts them down. For example, the other day I was reading about a young boy (either 11 or 12) who found out how to "pleasure himself" and he asked a simple question about his body. Of course everyone on the site jumped on him and began to tease him since he was only 12. Well to be quite honest with you this is the shittiest thing ever. We all have our questions, and he needed an answer, all we did was tease him and he is probably still questioning if his body is okay. And dont anyone dare even to say that he can ask someone in real life, because I'm guessing its not something you would not want to bring up with someone you know. Another instance takes place in most of the threads here on cB. Everyday members on the site continue to give their opinions and teasing bullshit instead of actually giving input. I am tired of this, and their opinions. If someone asks a serious question like "My perents are divorcing what do i do" and people respond to things like "its spelled PARENTS" or "pussy, suck it up youll still see them" ANOTHER occurence is that people are being so uptight with reposting rules. Someone recently merged my topic into a topic that was created in 2004, and i made it like 2 weeks ago. Reposts are bound to happen, and merging and closings are getting out of hand. With all this being said more to come, I have YET to see any mod action. ANYTHING! And dont give me that f**king bullshit about how those people "give flavor and personality to the site" and "thats what makes cB unique" and "we cant prevent it" becaus epeople are getting hurt, and you can prevent it. Work pays off and you NEED to make this happen because people are getting pissed, mods are quitting and its luring the wrong people to the site. Holly Infinite i sthinking about quitting, Uronacid is GONE, and to be honest with you I am so close to quitting myself because I am TIRED of everyone doing nothing. If you have power use it for the good of the site, not to say you have it, not because you dont want to get into things, and certainly not because you like to have control. You have a job for a reason, and you need to use it. DOnt give me that shit about how "its tougher than it looks" because honestly i dont care how tough it is.. if you want to have that responsibility you have to be tough. For god sake, do you f**king jobs!!!

I hate to use the cliche remark of "it's just the internet". Honestly, if you don't like it here you aren't obligated to be here. I'd hate to see you leave because you aren't content with the way that the site is run. If a 12 year old wants to post a topic asking about his (or her) body that's their prerogative. This is an open forum so you have to take what people say with a grain of salt and expect diverse remarks from people. That's not my department, though. There's other resources of information, which are probably more accurate and dependable than a forum.
If there's a reply that you don't think is respectable, or that needs to be dealt with you can report that post. Just because it's a mod's job to keep things in line doesn't mean they can read every single reply.

As previously stated, everyone is going to have more or less differing opinions on any given subject. Some people just won't take some of those more "serious" topics because they probably really couldn't care less. And hey, on the flip side there are those benevolent peoples who will take the time to analyze the problem and give a respectful answer. In reality though, a person is never obligated to do either.

I would pretty much agree with everything Michael had said. Just because this is the "Internet," you're still communicating with real, living, breathing people. The difference is that the Internet makes communication much more impersonal. You can only do so much with microphones and web cams.
