The lounge really has gone downhill.

14,733 848 June 19, 2007 at 11:25 AM in Rant
What is with the new people constantly going into threads and cutting people down? Why are we putting down other's screennames? why are we so goshdarn rude? This site has gotten out of control and mods really need to take control of the rudeness of it. This site used to be such a nice place to hang out. Now you have to stand up for yourself in every thread you make because the asshats come along and either hijack the thread or will start being, well, asshats. And people wonder why we start going to other forums?

We have the mod alert feature for a reason, people. Use it. There are eleven of us, and thousands of all of you. We can't read every post.

The Lounge is what you make it. You have the control to help make it better. You want a better Lounge? Be pro-active and do something about it.

no, it's not just me. I'm noticing it happen to a lot of new people and also old ones as well. it's happening all over. Also the site is supposed to be 'family friendly' and there are quite a few questionable things posted in the lounge. It's just all over i'm noticing that it's just not the same here anymore. I still have a lot of friends that are here, so I try to keep posting. But when I see others talked to like they are dirt...it is just sad.

You can't exactly blame the newbs, it could be one of two things.
1. Monkey see monkey do.
2. Survival of the fittest.

Yes, I agree they exist. And i'm not saying i'm perfect...I do get upset sometimes and put others down. But it's almost every post lately. I think the board needs to be cracked down on and warnings handed out again. JMO, maybe i'm wrong. Maybe I just like an old fashioned forum without sex in every other post or someone cutting down another in the rest of them.

take away sex and innuendo from the lounge and 3/4th of the people probably wont post...even look at this thread...majority of the posts in the first page dont have anything to do with what you are talking about.
take away cutting others down and the other quarter wont post.LMAO LMAO
