Okay- no one likes Pinecam, and they love to say that we are shit, so what is the best forum out there and why? |

I think the pinecam forum is the best (in the area) because there a lot of posters. It is just too over moderated. I appreciate that they feel they have to do it that way, but it is not for me. We could be the best forum but for a lot of reasons we are not. I think you know what those reasons are. Unfortunantly, some of the posters here would rather shock and awe than discuss. Some would rather try to ruin the forum and see it go away. We will never have a good forum until some of us change our ways and we don't run people off....... but, that is up to the members. I belong to another non-moderated forum, and trust me, it can work. |

I like different forums for different reasons. I like pinecam for the same reasons that Gringa states - it's informative and has a large list of posters thus is good for classified advertising and such. I've just adjusted to the moderating - watch what I say and how I say it and just try to keep out of the cat fights. I like this forum to just hang out and I learn so much about political issues and I enjoy reading. I don't enjoy posting here as much because some posters just like to take potshots at other posters just to get a rise. Since I don't THINK that I do that, I just keep to myself. That shit gets old when someone is constantly picking at everything you post. I belong to one other forum, but rarely even log in................just not that interesting. |

I'm curious Gringa- what does the other forum do differently? I'd like to change the tone here to something more conducive to conversation. Heck, I'll even try to watch my language. |

The people that are there are there because they want to make the forum work and they want to have people join and watch it grow. If a troll or a spammer comes in, which they do once in a while, the members ride them until they leave - sometimes they are tough to get rid of but usually when the bash starts, it won't let up and the troll either leaves or decides to stay and settle down. We truly self-moderate and it works. The problem here is there are not enough commited members that will tough out the bad times and we have members here that run off good posters, just for fun. You still have to have thick skin, because people will say what they will say, but nobody calls each other horrible names, wishes them dead, etc., etc., If they did, they would be run off or they will knock it off because the entire board goes nuts on them. |

It's not your language DB lol. It is 2 or 3 people that as Gringa said, can't discuss anything. Same old stuff, day after day. Pinecam sucks. Liberals suck. Everyone but me sucks. Heck, I even want to hide the fact that I am a conservatives sometimes because I am so embarrassed by the extreme of my party. |

And members rarely if ever walk away from the forum because of someone that rubs them wrong. They usually ignor the person. When someone does get their feelings hurt and posts "good-bye forever", well, they are told to not let the door hit them in the ass on the way out. We don't care - there are over a 500 members. |

Yes, for violation of the TOS, which is the same as here - no nudity, blah, blah, blah. There is no warning, the posts are removed and they are banned by IP address. IF the abuse continues, their service provider is contacted. To change the tone here, we have to have more people posting about a varity of things. If someone bashes, you have to ignor it and move on. We have to continue to do that, as a group, to allow the membership to grow. I don't think it is too late, but it is going to take a lot of time to undo the damage. |
