What the hell has happened to this place? It has gotten to be really boring around here as of late. Now I know that as a mod, I am not supposed to say that, but it is honestly how I feel.
Some of you people need to leave cb, as it has turned into consuming your lives, and you are starting to look petty and childish at the minimum. If you notice, the same bullshit topics are getting bumped left and right, and everything in cb seems to be going in one big circle. There are only so many times when you can honestly say that it is slow because of summer. Hell, I have more interesting convos and discussions on cbc than I do in cb. As a matter of fact, cbc is way more active than cb is. My point is this, we have got to start changing things up in the form of new topics, people, and what not. This place really could use a stiff kicking in the ass. I remember when I first joined back in November, I would post like 100 times a day....Now I am lucky if I post 6 or 7 times a day. COME ON PEOPLE! WAKE UP AND LET'S START MAKING THIS PLACE HAPPENING AGAIN! |

New people don't always get bash. Joanne is a very good example. It's usually because they are idiots that they get flame at. ^x3 Perfect example of a mod trying to sugar-coat things. I agree with Tung. Most of the bashers don't bash for no reason. (Unless they're ugly, but that's just too bad for them.) I know my post is long, but did you read any of it? Sugarcoating is not the same thing as being able to look at a situation objectively and comment on it constructively. I said that both the veterans and the newbies are at fault. To James's post: You're right about a lot of things. This thread has helped us address the issues that are a part of the larger problem on CreateBlog. But admitting the problem isn't enough; you have to actually try and be the change you want to see. I think a big part of that begins with learning how to speak more courteously. That doesn't mean that you need to mask your opinion (ie. act "fake") or say the opposite of what you really think (ie. sugarcoat). So don't try to use the "but I'm entitled to my own opinion" card. And if you can't reword your opinion in a way that won't offend the person you're criticizing, then simply don't say it. For example, when someone with looks below average by most people's standards posts in Members' Photos, there's always a few CB members who will reply to say, "you're ugly." It's okay if you think that, but really, it's not that hard to find something else other than their face to compliment them on, or to just not reply at all. The same ideology can be applied to dealing with newbies as well. Yes, CreateBlog gets a lot of the kind that type "lyke dis," "like this...........," "like this lol!!", you get the idea. Politely suggest that they not type like that, or just keep quiet and move along on the forums. I have more to say, but I'll add that later. I know I'm long-winded. |

I said that both the veterans and the newbies are at fault. AHAHAHAHAHAHA That's not looking at a situation objectively. That's bullshit equivocation. You understand that most of the "veterans" acting up is a direct result of the mods being child molestors right? If the mods weren't total failures, I have a feeling the problem would disappear. |
