we all like each other the same yadda yadda, some people just have more admirable traits, and some have less admirable traits... you can't honestly expect me to like some dipshit here just to start shit, as much as someone i 'respect'
See... it's the negative impact these boards have... If we could simply keep it on a positive note then we wouldn't have a problem. The only thing is.. it never stays positive.. already, you've turned it negative with "you can't honestly expect me to like some dipshit here just to start shit, as much as someone i 'respect'"
.

So... this thread IS going to get closed, and i'm going to do it.. specificly because it's already gone off topic and turned negative..but let's discuss an alternative to these boards..

What I think we'd like to have... is a simple "Shout-out" board... I'll even sticky it, so it doesn't get lost.

Simply post a "shout-out" to the people or person of your choice.. Keep it positive... and say whatever you want... you don't have to include anyone specific if you don't want to, simply give a "shout-out" or hello to everyone on the board, or in the chat.
We don't like seeing people using these "popularity" boards to belittle or "flame" someone even if in a subtle way....
It's un-needed... in out world today, we come on here to get away from the negativity of society. If i was going to be insulted, i'd turn on the T.V. or pick up a news paper....
Hence our whole "no flaming" rule... Life isn't an excuse to treat other people like shit and if you think it is, well... i don't have to say it, do I ?

A Shout-Out Sticky... Think of it like a posting board at a university for the students.. people can stick anything on it, as long as it's not a dirty picture, or someone saying "YOU SUCK" then they can put it up there. Got something to say? Shout it out...

There will be moderation of it of course, because we'll have people ignoring the requests. So don't expect it to be a free for all....but as long as it's positive and stays positive, i think there would would be no problems..

In return we will be able to keep the boards free of these type's of boards and clean up the lounge a bit.

So what do you think?
