On the other hand if the above site is the one you want keep it up. I haven't been on in a while cause that all BE is during the summer. As Oakvillian pointed out, the only reason for the mods to step in is if the rules that EVERYONE signed up to abide by get broken. Stick to the rules and is easy. If you want to persistently break the rules, then suffer the consequences. The world will continue to spin on its axis regardless, and people will still be amused here from time to time by the 98% of posters that can follow simple instruction regarding their behaviour. The forum might actually be a better place for it. The peanut gallery is not universally loved, much as I hate to break it to you in this way. If anyone out there has feedback in that regard, feel free to PM me (all comments kept in anonymity of course) Lets find out what people really think. |

BE is meant to be a service and sometimes a little sacrifice will keep these people around otherwise off they go and then BE becomes as useless as the threads inside of it. |

Re: Advice please
"Most important posters":confused:
Thats a new one on me! How exactly is that one to be defined. Posters come, posters go. Few stick around more than a couple of years in any case. Of course, its a dangerous game to be putting your words in other people mouths, especially if there is a danger that they might not agree with your own assessment. DBDs posted 7 times today, and I got an email from Steve this morning. |

Your opinion may be backed up by a few, but believe me there are many other regulars that are sick to death with the constant rule breaking, inappropriate posts, cyber bullying, etc. The majority of people these days seem to be sick of it judging by the number of complaints and reported posts we get. |

Entertaining, amusing, interesting? They most definitely are (well along with the likes of Novo). I dont really know why Souv left (I can hazard a guess though), I dont know why Biiiiink left (such a shame), I miss Steve and many others who came and went. Some people leave because BE has served its purpose for them, some people leave because it can be too much of a clique, some people leave because of posters like me and some leave because they cant abide the current mods. Someone suggested that this 'poll' could backfire on me and the majority could suggest I was 'removed' by one method or another. If thats the result by the time the poll closes then great I'll accept it. |

Re: Advice please
Butch can I say something at the risk of upsetting you - ?
You know I know you as do a few people here in the real world, and the Butch I know is (and yes he is) a very nice, very intelligent, very generous human being. Why can't you keep your posts true to who you really are hun - you would have a mountain a advice to offer and the occasional funny thrown in would make it all the better. I don't know why of late you seem to have changed - I want the real Butch back - and if he did come back then there would be no issues :wub: |

yes you are - YOU are the only one who can control your own actions. YOU CAN decide to post sensible, funny, clever stuff - cos thats who you are, not what people see you as by the way you have come across of late. |
Re: Advice please
What do you want Butch eh??? Do you want a ban so you can have the infamy of being banned. What the hells that gonna prove hmmmm.
You know I think the world of you but I aint gonna sit here and blow smoke up your bum all afternoon cos your being daft. Now shape up or ship out. I'd prefer the former and if it floats your boat then obviously it would piss more people off if you stayed around would it not. Do as your f*****g told for once eh :frown: |

If you honestly can not handle the truth/sexually explicit comments/semi-racial comments made in pixels how the hell are you going to last in Canada(a fundamentally racist country - or at least the part of Canada I live)? If you don't like the above I really don't think you will in particular like most Canadians. Sometimes it is better to see the worst of a place before you can really judge. DBD33 is amazing at telling us how he really feels about Canada and unfortunately for him he is constantly having people argue with him, but if you look closely the only ones arguing are fresh off the boat or still in England that is an important thing to watch out for. Steve is one of those posters that you come on this site and look out for...Just type into the search function steve p and you will find a whole hosts of threads when he has gone for even a day. I am also aware that both these posters are still active but why don't you actually read what they wrote today and read what they wrote 6 months ago. It is a significant difference. As for FK who can resist a good flirting when you're bored? I'm sorry but people take this forum way too seriously you are here because you share 1 common factor and that is you are an immigrant in Canada or looking to be one. If you are still looking to be an immigrant in Canada don't complain about us giving you the opinions we have of Canada (You have no idea yet). If you have been in Canada for a while and your opinion differs that is great but remember every single one of us has good days every single one of us has bad days for us to stick around we need more on these forums than. Will my computer work? What's the wages like? Can I get employment? If that means countless threads of BC taking comments changing what you wrote and making a one liner so be it. It's not like he is posting a full on shot of himself for all to see he is just amusing people. I find Roy Chubby Brown offensive and guess what he has loads of DVDs guess what else? I ignore it thats all I am saying you don't want to listen to him then put him on your ignore list don't complain. Don't try and change him and don't try to get him banned what is the point? |
