Sorry if this has been said, I read the first post and a few other posts ...

The GB is un-moderated ... can't the Mods here do something to maintain the peace?

I think a bit of MOD influence would straighten things up in short order.

YMMV


Nope.... I'm an adult.... I don't want a moderator coming in like a referree...... I come here because we can say what we like...... all I'm saying is.. this is the PLAYground, not the GB, you want to bitch and complain, go to the GB, they like and enjoy it
 
I haven't read all the replies I don't usually have time to, and I'm not sure about everything that has been happening here or whatexactly you may be talking about, I just wanted to say that honesty even though it may come out harsh isn't really that bad a thing,

I always try to differentiate between honest posts and those solely flaming/troll posts.

If things are changing then I am glad that I'm wearing my rose coloured glasses through it all.

I agree with you, Wanton. Do we really want the Playground to turn into the General Board? :eek:

The GB and the Playground are thankfully like chalk and cheese.

Yes there are tensions in here, often I feel between odd individuals who's friends then take sides but it is nothing like the overall nastiness and flaming you get in the GB.

Tension, unfortunately, is a part of life. Many, many threads on the PG are as much fun now as they ever have been.

I guess I've been lucky (so far) and haven't met any really nasty folks. But then, I generally don't go seeking out the idiots... Or maybe I'm just naiive - always think everyone is nice, until proven otherwise.

Agree with those who said they come here to get away from R/L. Perhaps we just choose to use our 'escape from reality' time more constructively than others. Who knows.

What I've never understood is why do people go replying to something they know is only there to incite a riot?
Is it really worth getting into an argument with someone you don't know just so you can feel vindicated that you've prooven a point? Makes me wonder sometimes...

Does a thread highlighting the downside of the PG not further perpetuate the downside????????????????

Childish behavior among children is sometimes annoying, but always expected. Childish behavior among adults, however, is nothing more than a royal pain in the butt. One of my office suitemates and I were discussing this today. At the corporate level, even our company is engaging in extremely expensive childish behavior. Is it any wonder then, that one of the clinicians on our team is being childish in a way that's affecting our care and our reputation within the community???

Between my 3yo at home, people acting like 3yos at work, the last thing I want to see when I come here is more childish behavior.

Well said, WW! :)

Glass houses???????

I agree with you Alis, unfortunately or fortunately we all have friends and what starts off as a small argument between 2 people can and often does quickly escalate into total chaos with othes coming in to support their friend

I know a lot of the folks on here are caring, friendly folks and to be honest I was hoping my post might remind them of who they are/can be.

Ditto my previous post
 
hmmmm......

While it's obvious that not everyone agrees with WW's assessment of the Playground or its level of tension....I believe their is one thing that should be noted:

Rather than fragging those she disagreed with across multiple threads, she started a new one and made her case there.

Guerrilla warfare from thread to thread does no more than annoy the other readers of that thread (cf. page 1 of "Intelligence" thread). by putting your contentious point in its own thread, the intent of the other threads can remain intact.

Think this might solve everyone's concerns without an extended audit of PG courtesy levels.

Cheers,

*Grins* Nope...you are definitely not a number Lusty :kiss:
And yes you make many good points, like I keep saying there are many more caring fun people in the playground than there are ones that thrive on contention....luckily for us :rose:

Bumping the most sensible recent thread on the Playground. I liked the sentiment enough to modify my signature to remind people (though it may tick off some here).

I think it's an important enough message it should be kept at the top of page 1. My question, though: certain sections of Lit have Sticky threads at the beginning, such as the guidelines of AmPics. What would be required to get a sticky thread at the top of the Playground, one that reminded people that is a place to play, not bicker, nor insult, nor chide?

{{{{Hugs}}}} back hon, we're all human :)

Mind you... smiles make for less wrinkles !! :nana:

:rose: :kiss: :rose: I myself am a celt, born true, through and through. ;) Seriously, me mum raised me with a sense of 'decorum' for lack of a better word. Treat all women with respect and more than a little admiration and life will return the favor. I must say though in the US that seems to be not true. Most women here do not appreciate a really good, intelligent conversation, which I find highly erotic and immensely satisfying as a prelude to lovemaking. Though I am new to this board posting environment, I too have noticed the level venom being spewed forth by other posters to be very discouraging. By the By Wanton, are you into Wicca or is that just a handle here. Just curious, sorry for prying. :)
