| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Feb. 01  | I have noticed quite a trend lately. It is something that I have personally addressed in the past and it is an issue that many other members have raised. To all members. Enough with the pile-ons. There are a lot of newbies flooding the ranks, and there will only be many joining up in the coming months... These are O & A fans, yet they are new to the world we call OA.com. Each and every one of you was a new member at some point. And as veteran posters, it is your responsibility not to pile on and insult the new members for minor transgressions, but to help them understand how to get along and be productive. One way to help is to adopt. If you have been authorized to adopt, then contact them when you see a problem or situation arising, don't wait for them to look for guidance, offer it. Do not play mod and tell them in the post what is wrong, what goes, where, why they're idiots, etc. Let mods take care of out of place threads, let us delete, or rectify problems. We dont need you point out problems. Nobody wants to read a thread where 10 people all point out why it belongs in OT or Music instead of GD... If you see something out of place, then IM a mod. Next, do not question mods publicly. If you have a question or an issue with a certain decision, then take it off the board and discuss it privately. All mods are easily reachable via IM or email, talk to them, don't get yourself into more trouble by publicly calling them out. Show some patience and common sense. The board is only going to get bigger. Most potential problems could easily be fixed on the level of the individual member. Show a little patience and common sense and you'll find that a lot of these problems will be easier for the mods & admins to handle, and things will run a lot more smoothly.

| Psychopath Registered: Nov. 00 | Nice Froy, just honestly want to know how long that will last....... Unfortunatly, I don't think this will last throughout the day. I know, and so does everyone else, know that some little 14 year old will jump on someone comments with rude and unnessicary comments. (possibly starting right here). Best of luck with this effort, Froy. | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | So I guess this means no more public lynchings! Damn it, just when things were oh so much fun! Can we moon the regular members? How about wedgies? Are they off limits as well?  Make you satanistic Make you take the pistol to your face And place the clip and cock it back And let it go untill your brains are rippin' out your skull so bad And sew you back and be a waste of stitches | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: May. 01 | Good post Froy. I couldn't help but think of those "The More You Know" spots that NBC runs and Conan spoofs. As an occasional poster it's nice to know that there are some rules in effect to stop the bullying. _________________________________________________________________________________________ But there's also this: there are over 5,000 men in this city, who know that being a policeman is an endless, glamourless, thankless job that's gotta be done. I know it, too, and I'm damn glad to be one of them." | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | Froy is 100% right. Somebody makes a dumb post or new topic. There are then 25 replies to it, from everyone on the board dying to tool on someone. It mucks up the board with even more bullshit, especially since most of the tooling just isn't funny. It looks like shit and creates a bad atmosphere.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01 | I totally agree with what Froy has said but after reading what was posted afterwards and by whom I find it funny. At least 50% of the people who have posted here that they agree with Froy, including myself, have at one time or another either started a pile on or have engaged in one. So, let me be the first to give an apology for my actions and my word that I will try to become a better and more productive member of this little world that we share called oa.com. (Except of course for the red dog man. His ass is mine. LMAO - jk ron baby)  This message was edited by njstrawberry on 6-5-01 @ 12:27 AM | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Dec. 00 | I think it's safe to safe that I've participated, encited, provoked, (enter more verbs here), more than my share of beatings. But Froy has a very very valid point with this policy. Fun is Fun but with close to 12000 members now, the attacks are larger and meaner. Froy has some great mods on board who do there job well of enforcing board policy. Granted, maybe not everyone agrees with the policies but rules are rules. If there's a problem with a thread, I'm sure they're more than capable of handling it. I'll go with NJS on this. I for one, will limit my future attacks to wedgies, wet willies, and moonings of long time vets. :) "How much fooohhh da littil gihhhrrrlls? I take dem bot. How much?
