Forum Admin Greg Posted November 29, 2010 Forum Admin Report Posted November 29, 2010 I've noticed a disappointing trend amongst certain forum members - insulting other members via the Status Updates feature. If this continues, I will begin to suspend the offending members. The forums rules apply to all sections/features of the discussion forums. Please treat each other with respect.

jbg Posted December 1, 2010 Report Posted December 1, 2010 You just want all of us to click on your profile, don't you. Admit it, you little attention whore... My profile? I barely look at that or its stats. I really wanted to leave a post to follow the topic, and to bring the topic to life.

waldo Posted December 1, 2010 Report Posted December 1, 2010 is there an IP.Board hack to extend the 'Ignore Feature' to Status Updates? Quote
Shady Posted December 8, 2010 Report Posted December 8, 2010 is there an IP.Board hack to extend the 'Ignore Feature' to Status Updates? Yeah, God forbid you have to read something you don't agree with for a few seconds. You're really workin on that bubble, eh bubble boy. Quote
waldo Posted December 9, 2010 Report Posted December 9, 2010 is there an IP.Board hack to extend the 'Ignore Feature' to Status Updates? Yeah, God forbid you have to read something you don't agree with for a few seconds. You're really workin on that bubble, eh bubble boy. of course, the issue isn't about agreeing or disagreeing with a status update message. The issue is the proclivity of certain MLW members, or more pointedly, one particular MLW member with Shady practices, utilizing the area for personalized taunts directed at other members. Obviously, as much as the area can offer, uhhh... witticisms, one particular Shady character regularly abused the status update area. The comment you appear to take exception to... that you replied to here... was simply a benign query as to whether the board held a feature capability to allow the forum level messaging ignore option to be extended to the Status Update area.

GostHacked Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 I would vote to have the side comment bar removed/disabled. Because of it, thread numbers and content has been reduced and degraded. Quote
scribblet Posted October 23, 2013 Report Posted October 23, 2013 I'm inclined to agree with that too as it is often used to disparage and putdown members. I'm not sure if the sidebar really is the reason for lack of content and degradation of the forum. Facebook and Twitter have taken away a lot of people from forums IMO.

waldo Posted October 23, 2013 Report Posted October 23, 2013 I'm inclined to agree with that too as it is often used to disparage and putdown members. as often as... vacation plans, updates on vacation plans, welcome back greetings, workout schedules, workout results, ongoing displays of Obama Derangement Syndrome, 3-Stooges quotes, etc., etc., etc.. As often as those? Quote
Bitsy Posted October 24, 2013 Report Posted October 24, 2013 I find it strange that some people lock their update. Quote
Guest American Woman Posted October 24, 2013 Report Posted October 24, 2013 I find it strange that some people lock their update. I don't. Most likely they just feel like saying what's on their mind without the resulting ugly/trolling that some can't seem to refrain from. Quote
Bitsy Posted October 24, 2013 Report Posted October 24, 2013 I don't. Most likely they just feel like saying what's on their mind without the resulting ugly/trolling that some can't seem to refrain from. I thought ugly/trolling was not allowed on the forum. Quote
Guest American Woman Posted October 24, 2013 Report Posted October 24, 2013 I thought ugly/trolling was not allowed on the forum. That doesn't stop it from happening. Quote
Bitsy Posted October 24, 2013 Report Posted October 24, 2013 That doesn't stop it from happening. Are you saying that the rules are not enforced? Quote
WWWTT Posted April 18, 2014 Report Posted April 18, 2014 Made an unusual status update today. Lately, I've been looking for something interesting to use on my update, but nothing out there that really garbs me worth my time. Shady jumped in with some good advise! I consider Shady to be the King of status updates around this forum! His advise was to find something that you're passionate about. Now I was already on to that, but he came right out and nailed it! A couple of other posters took advantage of my unusual status update to make some fun at my expense! And it was great fun! I enjoy the update feature and think that this feature is underrated and not used by enough posters! Any thoughts about expanding/modifying the feature to increase the attractiveness?

Topaz Posted April 23, 2014 Report Posted April 23, 2014 Maybe we should have rule say a bad thing about/to a person and you have to say 2 good things about them and say your sorry! Boy, this reminds me of my school years! Quote

It would be easier if there was a report function/key for the status updates. Or is there, and am I just missing it? WWWTT Quote Maple Leaf Web is now worth $720.00!

cindi Posted April 23, 2014 Report Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) How do I make status updates, I noticed one I would like to reply to but can't figure it out. Sorry if this is off topic but I cannot start a new thread, guess cos I'm new. Oopsie, got it....

Argus Posted May 9, 2014 Report Posted May 9, 2014 Are status updates removed without informing the person who posted them? Because I'm pretty sure I posted one the other day and it's not around...

WestCoastRunner Posted May 10, 2014 Report Posted May 10, 2014 Shouldn't some of these status updates be posted in the appropriate threads so they can be debated? It seems sort of a cop-out to post there. Is this the intention of status updates? Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch.

Charles Anthony Posted May 10, 2014 Report Posted May 10, 2014 Are status updates removed without informing the person who posted them?Yes --- if they violate any of the forum rules and guidelines which contain the words "will be deleted without warning." Because I'm pretty sure I posted one the other day and it's not around......and I am pretty sure that I have not paid attention to your Status Updates in a long time. Nobody reported any of your status updates in a while. What was the content of your Status Update? Quote We do not have time for a meeting of the flat earth society. << Où sont mes amis ?
