Title: Should posters on other forums be allowed to post here
Post by: jassi on February 14, 2018, 09:16:32 AM
It has been suggested that people who post on other forums should not be allowed on here.
Do members think this is reasonable, as I'm sure it would decimate membership and probably remove at least 1 moderator.
As an active member of a pigeon fancier forum, why should my posts there exclude me form participating here ?

I know if you worked for a company and if they found that you were slagging them off on social media they could be justified if they fired you, but if you said good things about them I don't think that would be a reason to dismiss you.

I'll see if there is an example of this happening.

I would look up a recipe for pigeons, except I haven't seen one here in 5 years.

Can one train a pigeon to fly to the Algarve?

Eek!  We need to meet up for a coffee and a chat.

Now I need to find out if BBQ is best or pan-fried or casseroled.

If you see an old ars***e in Lagoa trying to catch a pigeon or two, please hi to me.

Where people post is a matter for them and them alone.  In any event most people use different user names on different sites so it would be an impossible task to police.

What will not be tolerated according to our own hierarchy is that members here who post elsewhere using identifiable user names are allowed to attack our members with impunity.

So in a nutshell, pigeons aside, people can post wherever they want.

This latest furore is just a case of history repeating itself as I recall. It will happen again no doubt.
Too many people can't see this is only a game, not real. Were it for real they would not be p*****g about on here they would be doing something constructive........ the most constructive being zip it and let the cops do their job.

It has the potential for a miscarriage of justice in my opinion.
 
1. How is it possible to be sure that a poster using an 'identifiable username' on another forum is the same person who is using it here?
2. Do only those with 'identifiable usernames' get penalised here or is it going to come down to opinion (it sounds like x therefore it is x)?

No. Abuse outside this forum is FA to do with John.

I think a 'Justice' forum should make absolutely sure it has the correct culprit before applying sanctions. How they propose to do that is of interest because I can't see how it can be achieved.

Well it very much seems to be Mercury, at one time from this forum.  She was insulting you on here Rob, if you remember.  That was immediately before she suddenly left.  Was she got rid of ?

She has had various names on various forums .... and invariably showed herself to be bizarre, with an agressive love for insults ..... picking mainly on one person at a time.

As you say, Davel, her posts are and always have been extremely disrespectful and in very bad taste, especially late at night.

The best way to deal with her is to laugh at her tbh .... unless she steps over the mark.  Her one post to me was so evil .... and about my long dead parents .... that it went viral .... and soon after that David Cameron stated that he was cracking down on the internet bullys.  Maybe her posts were what helped precipitate his decision?  Dunno

Just as a general rule if one is daft enough to belong to an internet forum then expect verbal abuse.
If one does not like like verbal abuse then don't faff about on internet fora of any make or shape.
Simples.

But that might be true but the same goes for those who spread abuse - if you don't like the consequences "then don't faff about on internet fora of any make or shape. Simples."

It's not quite that simple, is it Alice? Nobody wants to be moderated on one forum by someone who is openly verbally abusing you on another (where you have no right of reply). Equally nobody wants to interact with people who are abusing them so it rather destroys the stability of this forum.
IMO.

I get verbal abuse when I don't belong to the fora.

And that is how life works.

I suspect the next phase would be to compile a dossier to hand to John  and Bruntie...


Re: complaining to Stephen.

Being in a state of devastation over the sudden death of his lovely wife, I doubt if he would give a flock about your feelings being 'hurt' on a forum he manages. Vile and nasty to even contemplate doing that IMHO.

As Alice has said those of us apart from John,(obvious reasons) who dare to question the McCanns regarding their daughters disappearance have been called a lot of names.Some by mods!

No-one is suggesting dossiers or beyond - just good manners & a little respect for your fellow posters. Keep disparaging remarks where they belong - to yourself or in a private place.

But late with that Misty... you can't take back what has been done by supporters and Mods. dog eat dog as they say don't like it? stay away from the kennels.

Mod on another thread making snidey insinuations... hilarious her thinking she is ever so posh and above other people. I laugh out loud at that behaviour maybe you  lot should lighten up.

Would you say "El Magnifico" is being abusive?  Superficially it may be complimentary  ?{)(** ... maybe I'm just reading it all wrong.

Actually, just ignore that dismal attempt at humour I'm not very good at it.
It must be said that I have never seen either you or EC abusing your position by abusing others on your blog where you have total control.  That to me 'is how life works' as far as honourable people are concerned ... what you describe doesn't meet anything like that standard, what a pity we now accept the aberration for the norm.

I was talking about the Mirror, the thread about me on CMoMM, and the thread on the DF, and all 3 are abusive.

Fact.

I didn't know you had your own special thread on CMoMM ... that's what happens when you try to talk sense to them though and I must admit it is a portal through which I rarely venture.  It really does turn my stomach.

If you remember  John said it was not acceptable for posters here to post abuse elsewhere.... So it's, a, question of whether miss behaving is a member here... So... Do you know

When people post anonymously it is difficult to establish categorically that they are one and the same but over time they tend to give themselves away.  Let no member be under any illusion though, if they post disparaging comments about fellow members on another site, their account here will be closed.

Unfortunately, I am occasionally called upon to censor the remarks of some posters, whether from Sceptics or Supporters.

This is what I am pledged to do, and will continue to do.

I have no issue with you on that score. I agree.

And this should continue to be the case

There is no need for anyone to post insulting and/or abusive comments and that is why our moderators will always removed such material. Our zero tolerance approach will continue as usual.

So now people are being criticised for not condemning others? Unbelievable! Perhaps not, though. I have seen people refuse to condemn someone who was convicted of some particularly nasty crimes.

Goodness me, how you up the ante.
Calm down, I only suggested that some fair minded posters who post on both forums could have suggested that unpleasant posts made about some posters here should perhaps be not encouraged.

There is a phrase "would cause a fight in an empty room" and in my opinion that is exactly what is being attempted here.

All any decent folk want is for the continual personal abuse "over there" to either stop or be kept in the private area where we can't see it. Is that really so hard to do?

I have found that when you sign up to several forums all discusssing the same red hot topic that it can be problematic further down the line. From experience it seems that most of these sites attempt to promote a certain point of view and if anyone rocks the boat sort of speak then they come in for criticism or even abuse.  I used to be a member of several forums which looked at potential miscarriage of justice cases but the problem was that they were set up as if the miscarriage of justice was a foregone conclusion.  When the admin didn't like what was being said or lost the argument one usually ended up being banned.  That was the reason why this forum and its predecessor were set up in the first place ie to give everyone a full and fair hearing.

There is no reason why posters from other forums should not be allowed to post here.  In fact there is no way of stopping them as long as they comply with our rules.  Members here can post in their own name or do so anonymously if they so choose.  It is entirely up to the individual to post in a way which he or she is comfortable with.

This thread is now locked.
