Rules are Rules

[Annie]

O.O

I had no idea people were causing so much trouble!
I feel like such a goody goody! Haha, but that's a good thing.

It's strange that such impressive technology such as the net could bring the animal side in us all.

I hope the problem gets solved soon.

That was really well said KK ^.^ lets hope that no more trolls or spammers appear from now on.

Haha I haven't caused trouble yet because I spend most of my time lurking and not posting. If I posted more my sarcasm might get me in trouble more often than not

[quote="SimbasMate"][quote="Amanda"][quote="SimbasMate"]Also, I was in the chat room when people broke the rules. They were swearing, and getting past the censors. I am no mod here, but I am just sharing what I witnessed. As it was very annoying, seeing fellow members, that are actually are my friends, troll the chatroom, with swears, and sexual conversations, as well as picking on another member behind their back, who shall remain nameless for dramas sake. In my view, it's very pointless to see members do this, on such a great forum! It certainly doesn't get you anywhere, and I am so confused on why people would do this. Reading it in the chat made me very dissapointed in those friends. I just wanted to state, that trolling, and breaking the rules, again, even when you have been warned several times here by a mod, and given warnings, it doesn't show that you are very responsible for your actions if you just go on doing it again. Nonetheless, I'm sure that this is very annoying to the staff, as well as Moka. Keeping this forum safe for us is their job, and making their job harder is not fair to them. Also, if you are going to leave teh forum, do not cause as much drama, and say that it doesn't matter because you are leaving. This just causes more problems, and makes the forum look bad. So all I ask is from what I saw today, is that my fellow members please do not break the rules! Let's make this more of an awesome forum!

Just wanted to state my opinion. [/quote]
No offense SM, but you're kind of being a hypocrite. You're guilty too. >_> But meh, at least you apologized.

I have to side with WS on this one seeing as I'm guilty too. This message is probably mostly directed at me anyway lol... And I agree that it is bad to break a rule, and that I shouldn't be spamming up the chatbox with cusses and crap since they're for kids too... Man, I bet the entire staff hates me now.
This was also my first warning ever. I feel like a criminal now. [/quote]

I am not, I just stated my opinion. In that chatroom I know I have done worse, but that doesn't matter anymore. I didn't do anything in the chat yesterday.[/quote]

Just because you didn't do it yesterday, doesn't mean you weren't being a Hypocrite. Well, in fact you were. You were telling people off for doing what you do all the time. I didn't see you mention yourself doing this same thing, through that whole post. Before you put the blame on others, maybe you need too look at yourself.

To be honest, the chatbox should just be removed completely.
Whenever I go in there all I see is people acting stupid and immature and it gives MLK a bad name.
Remove it and you solve the problem

[Deeri]

I am unsure what has been going on exactly but I agree with what KK said.
I just hope that the problem is resolved.

Again, It was my opinion. What I said, wasn't telling off people. I was explaining what I saw. And I know I did worse in the chat. But that doesn't need to be mentioned. End of discussion.

While I agree that much conflict can happen in the chatbox, the chatbox is also a way to talk to people outside of the average topic walls, and can be helpful and fun when some members can't have other IM programs.

Also, it's not impossible for conflict to happen because of a topic.

If people can't control themselves in the chatroom, then they shouldn't go on it.

If people just want to troll and not use manners, then they should not be allowed on the Internet.

(by the way, this post is not directed towards any one person.)

Not fair to the people who don't abuse their privileges of using the chatbox. And I sure don't see people "acting stupid" in there every single time I go in there. Just because a few people did a few things doesn't mean it happens all the time and doesn't mean those who use the chatbox for more civil discussion (aka most of the forum) should lose their ability to talk to others in it.
