How about making a rule where if you make a bad comment about someone do it with constructive critisism and tell them what they did wrong, don't just go and kill their reps by giving bad comments like "Get your head out of your $#%" The reason why I'm posting this is because of this thread: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=804266 How about giving certain boards a certain amount of characters in order for the post to show up so that people will start to explain a little more what they mean and not just bash others for their opinion.
Why are there so many immature people here? Maybe because those type of people dont have the vocabulary to leave any sort of constructive critisism, and they leave comments like this to destroy your thread as it may be in competition with something they are doing. Also there are most likely a lot of children and wannabe's on this forum who leave comments like this just out of spite / boredom. Even the mods can be immature as one email i received for an infraction proves.
Well I'm not here to bash the mods or anyone else, I just want to make this place a better place to be and to make it stand out from the other forums.
Nothing wrong with that post, just ignore these people, in every society and every forum, there are bound to be good as well as nasty people, we will have to live with it.
Mentos, because some people get mad when their business might be affected by the truth. It's like me walking up to Bill Gates and telling his face all the good things that a Mac Has that Microsoft doesn't. Yeah I guess, that would be the way to handle it. Do you mind not closing this thread so I can see the opinion of the other mods? Thank you.
Making posts like this is the reason you are getting red reps. Have a cry! No one is forcing you to post here.
reps are given to say approve or not, and if somoene doesn't approve you, they will give you neg rep and you cant avoid it. Dont people approve eache other's all the time? well no, ask yourself, why dont you approve of whats going on in that thread yourself and why do you post about it? same reasons
You posted your negative views on web directories. Look around. The most reputable members (majority) in this forum own directories and post in that section. They are bound to back their sites and dish out the red rep.
Haha good point... "DP... not a good place to post the truth about Directories.... " Shawn should use that catch phrase.
Wow! that would be very catchy! Anyways like wisdomtool said, no matter were you go you will find some (atleast 1) person that always enjoys hurting people. We just need to learn to live with them. One way is to completely ignore them.
Well the discussion was going fairly good when the owner showed up and things should have taken more maturely which I agree. Anyways, be careful next time, things really go mad in here sometime. Cheers
The best thing is to do is have the bad vibes flow off of yours like water on a duck's back. The others are right, you can't change someone from being mean spirited on the internet.
That's because a lot of the people here still play on the school yards, there are lots of 15, 16, 17, year olds here.
In case somebody posts a bad comment, you say: "God bless you!", and stop the conversation You will be the winner and the bad comment poster will be a loser
