Davey Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) Almost every thread on TF with a decent number of replies seems to contain an unnecessary slagging match. It's really boring the hell outta me because I'm not here to listen to people insulting each other!So...1. If you disagree with someone don't just leave a post saying "idiot" or "twat" or "dick". None of these words are valid arguments, you may as well say "I'm and idiot" or "I'm a twat" or "I'm a dick"!2. We can all take a joke, 1handedluke insults my mother on a daily basis and it's hillarious, but it's hard to tell when someone is "only kidding" when you can't hear the tone of their voice, ie in a post on the forum. Use common sense, if you're kidding then say so or you're gonna get peoples backs up!3. Finally, if you really can't help your childish impulses and you absolutely must insult one another then for god sake do it on PM as no one else cares a damn... ok?That's all I wanted to say, thanks for your timeDaveyPS: Please don't start an argument in this thread Edited July 20, 2006 by Small_Gear_Big_Style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Who cares? its a forum. If people didnt voice their opinions with as many or as few words as they wanted then what would be the point in posting anything. People post on here knowing that they may get criticism and even when they do get it they just get shitty for the most part. Getting something off your chest is all well and good but its not going to change shit. Especially on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) Your post is what I would class as critisism/voicing an opinion, this is how it should be done, but insulting someone is NOT, that is all I'm saying. Maybe no one else does care, maybe it's just me that gets sick of childish arguments that have nothing to do with trials, but posts that are not trials orientated get moved to chit chat so in my opinion posts that aren't should get moved/deleted too, they are a waste of space!Not saying we should all agree, that would be stupid obviously!Davey Edited July 20, 2006 by Small_Gear_Big_Style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 This should've been in Chit-Chat too, f**kface. Nah, I get where your coming from and it'd be better if people came up with decent ideas as to why what they think might be right as opposed to just saying it's 'cos the other person's a twat or whatever, but unfortunately with the sort of average age we've got on the go on TF, it's unlikely to happen any time soon EDIT: Haha, just noticed the subtitle. Either way, it'll still get read in here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 I can't say it really bothers me to be honest. Its always a laugh to read some comments posted on here during arguments. I know a select few people on here personally and I know I can call them anything and they won't be bothered...I think people think the same about someone but once they say something the joke is misunderstood and taken too seriously...but either way its entertaining and its something you'll never stop, its just changing human nature...good luck with that.

poopipe Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 buggrit. I was going to say what Mark did only with fouler language - then he moved the damn thread and I got all confused. Ill post it all again anyway Yea, I agree with this twat . Arguements make this place more fun, if everyone agreed and held hands and things It'd just be boring.I think he's saying we should make more effort when insulting each other and in that he has a good point.Instead of just writing "you're a twat" people should give their reasons - it's only fair to the twat that they're told and it makes much better reading for the rest of us.

yoyoyo Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 It's been the way though for as long as i an remember, it will stay the same way, and a topic like this will appear every 6 months.But at least for a week after each topic the slagging goes down, but then it just carries on as normal. You just have to live with it really, there will always be people who want to offend others, it's just in their personality. But most of the time peole are just joking and it gets taken the wrong way. You just need to learn which people will be joking and which won't.I know for people joining it must be weird, because you've just jonined and in one of the first topics you see people being slagged off for spelling or the content of their post. And because of it there are probably people in NMC who should be validated but don't because of the way people act on here.But then when you have thread after thread with text talk or pointless topics you get annoyed, normally i tend to try and be nice to the new people, but sometimes i just get annoyed and comment on their spelling or whatever they are trying to say. I can't help it sometimes.It's not going to change, and i'm sure it makes some people feel slightly bigger, and it is a lot easier to insult on the internet. When i'm on a ride i don't really talk to people unless i've been out with them before. But on here i talk to loads of people.You just need to live with it really. It won't go away.

CBProductions Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Some people just view things differently , thats like saying why cant all countries get along. This is an international forum so you're going to get varied opinions and people being awkward and such like. Just chill its just the internet and dont envolve yourself so much and you'll find that the above mentioned won't effect you so much.

PaRtZ Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 I agree with the reasoning bit. Although I don't see it in abundance recently it annoys me when people dont say why they think that.But yeah you got to have contrasting views all the time. Imagine the bike pics thread. If we were all nice, everyone would say "nice bike mate" even if it wasn't lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil white Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) arguing is part of life! if you have a strong personality then you can't resist voicing your opinion!i do agree that people should reply in depth as opposed to "twat" etc but as someone said earlier "the average age of people on this forum dictates what kind of content appears in arguments"i, however, have no excuse, i am 23 and a childish, argumentitive twat! stop being a hippy, spreading peace and love! :kiss: voice your opinion, its your right as an englishmen!btw, i got my first warning the other day in nearly 3 years of membership and i was totally gutted, sad eh?

Greetings Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 This is all true but you really cant get rid of all of it. I remember there being at least two similar topics within the past few months. There is a limit to every bad behaviour but I believe that this limit is rarely exceeded on this forum and if it is, the moderators take care of it. Also, you're probably referring to NMC which indeed is awful. But do we really have to look in there? I haven't for quite a while now.

Luke Williams! Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 most pointless thread ever maybe :bow: :bow: kiddin erm i cant really say much on the situation people seem to get very angry at me for stupid reasons but it is the internet so its all well an good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mods Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 i'm sorry but i don't agree with your opinions.. in real life as in face to face, people have arguments and just call someone an abusive name, (e.g girls friends) it makes people feel better it may not be the ' couth' thing to do but it's up to individuals how they voice there opinions and feelings. Especially over the internet which is the ultimate freedom of speech... to end.. you don't have to be here, it is optional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Gears says everybikes nice in the bike pics threadHa ha, he just does it to brown nose people and to get his post count up in the vain hope he will be made a senior member, though he will deny it obviously. Could be boredom too, he is bikeless at the minute I too reckon the forum should have conflicting views on things, it provokes people to think about something more openly. For example someone says, oh thats a great bike but i would change the bars because they dont seem to suit the bike and i reckon you'd get along with (insert random bars here) much better. The person thats read this is more likley to think about if their own bars suit their bike and how changing them might affect their riding for the better or worse. I think not getting along with people gets more done, some people like bb rise others don't so we now have a choice of frames with varying heights of bb rise... see where i'm going.I admit some peoples remarks are quite useless and are quite often unecessary but thats life, some people are just like that, at the end of the day its just words on a screen, get over it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Especially over the internet which is the ultimate freedom of speech... to end.. you don't have to be here, it is optional Not as such. I could edit the shit out of your posts or just delete everything you posted that I didn't like. Depending how anal I got about it, I could stop you ever being able to post on here. It's not particularly free, especially when you actually pay attention to the T's & C's of the site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
