i dont think the point was as much directed at the banter, but more the colourful language we use in our banter

 

sorry Mr Happy - I meant banter in terms of the certain words we keep using.

 

so did i. re-read my thread i posted in this forum about over use of the work c*nt

[James]

Happy - yes, I mean I was agreeing with you and that we were talking about the same thing lol

James you cannot moan about the usage of CUNT if you right hand man has a competion running called CUNT IDOL,

 

Personally i have no problem with the word on a web site ( i wouldnt use it normally ) but whats the most important issue is that if you dont want it you need consistency.

Not sure it's ever necessary to be rude...Look at Lennox Lewis...I am sure he is never rude.. I think he finds politness, and a vicious right hook do just as well.

 

So violence is the answer then ?

And I'd like to see how his right hook would help him on here.

being brutally honest will make people switch off in far larger droves

 

if people cannot handle the truth then that is their problem.

 

Agreed.

 

And to be honest, who cares about new members ? We're not exactly short of them. As far as I'm concerned no-one on here is worth my time until I've met them.

most of the new people on ere recently have been rude and annoying, so its no surprise when ctw members are rude back!!! there have however been a few nice ones that have joined and i think you;ll find the reception they have received has been completely welcoming.

 

its well frustrating when there are so many good people on the board to see idiots come on and ruin it. i don't say half the things i'd like to coz i cant be arsed. i am therefore grateful to the peeps on this board who do voice their opinion. i'm often in complete agreement with them!!!

 

members on other boards are downright rude for no reason. at least on ere if youre not an idiot you'll be treated in friendly way!

[James]

agreed. I think things are actually a lot better than they used to be - because the 'good' people tend to back each other up a lot more and tell the 'bad' people to 'do one' more often. I think the balance is in the 'good' peoples favour again and anyone causing too much [censored] is quickly gotten rid of.

 

a few months ago there were loads of candidates up for banning, i'm pleased to say i cant think of one person who falls into this category at the moment.

 

Bukey hit the nail on the head recently when he told me and others that his is a REAL COMMUNITY with real people - i.e. we are of course going to have good and bad and we cant expect everyone to get on.

 

[Bukey]

This poll is worded in a very, very, very leaning manner, so I therefore refuse to vote.

 

This is a real community, unlike so many others (and like so many others) that exist on the Internet.

 

- There are people who don't get on.

- There are people that appear harsh.

- There are people that mis-interpret how someone means something.

- There are people that get on as friends, and great friends.

- There are arguments and disagreements.

- There are some bloody good debates and conversations.

- There are real life meets that flow over from the online thing.

 

This is a real community. Not everyone will get on, not everyone will appreciate each other.

 

Start demanding how people should behave in a real community, and the community won't last very long at all.

 

People who have now been told that they have to act "false" and not as themselves will soon bugger off. It will become too much effort for them.

 

New people that join will figure out that people are acting false, and so it won't seem a genuine community, and they too will bugger off before long.

 

Some new members, who may be offended at the behaviour of some of the existing Members on here don't normally stay around for too long before spitting out their dummies. Anyone joining an online community should be prepared to hang around for a bit. Read threads and posts over a few days (or maybe even a week) to work out the characters that belong to that community - find out where the banter is and how people tick.

 

If new Members are just going to judge from the start without actually observing the community, are they the right sort of people for CTW? Is the site currently made up of this kind of person? No. Near enough every active Member (if not all) of CTW is a free-thinking person. They've joined the community and observed it. They've worked out who people are, what they stand for and made up their own minds on each individual. But not after 24 hours.

 

Let's look at this in a slightly different way now. You go to a club regularly. In that club, there's a member of management you don't really like and get on with. There's a bouncer that you think is a complete cunt. There's a group of about 3 clubbers you haven't got the time of day for because they're loud, lairy, and to be completely honest they're complete cocks. The venue is smashing, though, and the event is the dog's danglies. Do you stop attending because of the 5 people you don't like are there?

 

I re-iterate. ClubTheWorld is a real community, with real people - it's a diverse community with diverse beliefs, characters and a genuine life running through it.

 

Should we turn into Little Hitler's and start controlling the people within this community? Do so, and I'm off. So will many others (if not all of you) over the next few months.

When I joined ctw I sat back for the 1st month looking to see if it was worth the effort, as you post more (without being a dick) ppl start to get to know you.......as with anything in life, you only get out of it what you put in!
