DiamondbackLover Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Well, I guess this is the part where I ask you guys what you think we should do. Are you talking about me? Quote

Diamondback FOF Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Well, I guess this is the part where I ask you guys what you think we should do. I think you (meaning the mods and admins) should make people start using correct grammar and spelling. Also, make people quit starting so many darn arguments . Sorry DiamondbackLover. Quote
KIfan73 Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 I think that we're all seeing Kings Island's major investment into the park for 2009 having an effect on KIC much like the effect it's had on the park itself. 2 Quote
Avatar Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Rcfreak339 You are saying what many have been saying for some time. The truth is many of the Old and New members are still here but are choosing not to participate in the current offerings and are tying to wait out for some type of change. LongLiveTheSmurfRide you said it right about the real true park and KIC enthusiasts fans are here to stay especially in the off seasons. DiamondbackLover to be honest this thread has nothing to do with you, over the years we get many like you that come and go and we will get many more. Basically what I am saying is your not that unique. Boodah1984 - I hope more focus is on the members and what they want and less on what others want us to know. (It's not fun anymore) there needs to be a better balance and fast. I support this site 100% and know you guys have lives but this site has some of the best members I have ever been associated with and I think they are being under utilized and overlooked. I am here through all the changes even when I post less at times. 1 Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Never take moderation on a forum personally. It's just part of the job. Read your posts in this topic alone and think to yourself, "Is this relevant?" or "Am I adding to the conversation?" or "Could my post be considered offensive?" and finally "Is this my opinion? Did I say it's my opinion or try to pass it off as fact?" Those are some good guidelines to go by when posting. 1 Quote

LOL Well, I guess this is the part where I ask you guys what you think we should do. I think you (meaning the mods and admins) should make people start using correct grammar and spelling. Also, make people quit starting so many darn arguments laugh.gif. Sorry DiamondbackLover. Ya can't please everyone I guess. Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 A very wise reply from Avatar, as usual. It's the quality, not the quantity, of posts and input that counts. So many miss that.... And DiamondbackLover, it's hard to say you are not a troll when you start stuff like that Cheerio Poopsik nonsense... Quote

JAHill Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 DiamondbackLover, I don't really know how to say this without being blunt. But you're making yourself look like an idiot right now. If you're still here in the future posting, you'll probably remember this and feel so embarrassed. 1 Quote

It was uncalled for. End of story. There have been many threads just full of non-sense, thats why have created this thread. I would love some changes. Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 And endless violations of the Terms of Service, mostly by a very few users: * One word posts. * Claiming something is confirmed by someone in the park without citing a source. * Stating one's own opinion as if it were fact, then getting heated when others call one on it. This is not the civil, friendly place it used to be. Quote

This is not the civil, friendly place it used to be. Amen Terpy!! I am saddened with what this has become. What should we do? Good question. I am totally ok with PM's, but personally, I think my time is done. It's been fun guys, I mean it. I will be back, but its gonna be a while. I think we all need to step back and just cool down for a while, and realize we all like each other and stop the bickering. Quote

The Interpreter Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Sigh. Yet another violation of the Terms of Service. Do we need more examples? Quote
Fear the Four Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Sigh. Yet another violation of the Terms of Service. Do we need more examples? He is just doing that to make more poeple "mad" at him because he thinks it's funny. Quote
DiamondbackLover Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 I forgot, sorry. I thought it was funny. I swear I wasn't. Sorry. Quote
Avatar Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 For those who would like to do some moderating themselves for a more enjoyable KIC experience. You can in your “My Controls” go down to the left and click on “Manage Ignored Users” and enter any member you wish to ignore. Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Or better yet, you can just ignore what they say. Some here are quite obviously only trolling for attention, positive or negative. The only danger of doing so by a forum rule is that statements that member may then make about you may go unchallenged. Not good. For that reason, I do not recommend using the control panel to ignore members. To too many, silence is acceptance. Quote
Guest rcfreak339 Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 ^^Very useful! Thanks for pointing that out to me Avatar! Quote
diamondback_king Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 I would like to say, as a new user, that I love this site. However it is very hard to keep reading the garbadge that one user posts non-stop. I find it amazingly annoying and really hard to keep watching him ruin so many posts with absolute junk. I dont think I am alone here either. Isnt there a ban or probation or something tht could be done? Please? just wonderin' Quote

Guest rcfreak339 Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 I think that anyone that tries to start a argument (if its apparent) should be banned for atleast 2 days.... ) Quote

The Interpreter Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 That is most definitely a step in the right direction, at least from where I type... Quote
