Is CreateBlog really one big happy family? Options

[BelovedOrchidx3]

So, hello, my name is Orchid, and I've been browsing around CreateBlog since February; I just never signed up until now. And, well, I'd just like to make a few comments about this whole website.

This is just an assumption, you know? That in Createblog, everyone is supposed to support each other, give advice, and have fun and enjoy being here. Well, I haven't been seeing much of it.

I've noticed some members giving out poor, ill-humored advice, something that's ought to make the starter of the topic feel bad. Stuff that won't help the starter of the topic AT ALL. I'm not pointing fingers, I've just noticed it A LOT. It's especially happening to the newbs. Oh wow, I don't see why the newb would want to stay here any longer if the responses they get are "You're just stupid." Well, not exactly but somewhere along those lines.

Guess what? Some members just don't type normally. They can't help it, and when they make a post about something and they kind of typE lyK dISh, people who respond to the topic make stupid posts that have nothing to do with the subject and say "Oh please type normally." And I know that seeing someone type like that is annoying, but it'd be a lot better if the members here just set that aside and give advice to the person without making irrelevant comments.

And I think some members in here at just a bit conceited about themselves. Well, conceited isn't a good word for it, but something like that. Such as, a while ago, someone made a topic about being too tall and not liking it (I'm not exactly sure it was specifically about this, but something like it), and the reponses he/she got weren't exactly helpful. Such as "Shut up and feel sorry for the short people," or "Stop showing off your height." I'm pretty sure that person wasn't showing off anything but was really disturbed by it, and I know there isn't much to say about it, but at least give some reassuring responses.

It just seems like people are being cruel to each other, and I don't think this is how createBlog should really be like. It'd be alot more fun for others if members made encouraging comments and stuff like that.

this can be ignored if wanted. I'm just saying something out of my heart, and I hope everyone can read this and change a bit.

Thanks,
Orchid

I agree with datru katalyst.

But see, you can't just base createBlog's entirety on a single member's posts or a few. Although there might have been some some misdemeanors (misconducts) to have happened, such as member bashing, spamming, rude behavior, etc, cB as a whole would be a pretty good family. Sometimes, it does irritate me when members type incoherently and whatnot, I might state that I don't approve of it, but I try to be fair and if advice is asked, I reply how I feel the situation should be handled.

Look on the bright side of things. There might be a few cracks here and there, but you can't base this on a few members, or a few topics. Examine createBlog thoroughly, and you'll notice that the majority of the members [if not all] possess kindness, integrity, comicallity, etc.

A great much has changed throughout the time that I've been here, but there's still things that remain unchanged. Don't judge before getting to know the people of createBlog better.

EDIT and I agree with Chrissy--no forum is absolutely perfect. I won't say all, but most of the online communities (forums) have some bad people that cause trouble among the forums.
