Not that I'm gonna argue with Annie...

crfische

But I thought we'd been pretty darn nice lately! WHO ARE THE JERKS.

vallyhoo

well of course you've been nice lately,
you have hardly been around

georgia_bride09

You owe me a Coke. Minus the Bacardi, thankyew.

crfische

Ive been BUSY hooha. Back off.

Mrs.B6302007

wasn't me. 

sarah0725

This seemed a little strange to me too.

crfische

It's Julia. She's the bully around here.

FutureMrsTR

There was a poster who deleted her post after, like, 5 replies or something.  Maybe she got her knickers in a bunch and decided to e-mail Knot Annie.

danieliza1127

There have been a lot of newb posts and sometimes not everyone is nice.  I've warned about it before too.  I'm guessing if Annie came in, she must have received some complaints.

AlmostSt.Laurent

No Fishy, you are obviously the mean one around these parts.  Maybe if you shared your margarita before your advice, Annie wouldn't have posted that.

crfische

Oh commonnow. We all know no one wants my advice.

I remember one day last week when literally every third thread was about whether or not it was ok to have an adults only reception and by the end of the day folks were getting pretty testy; someone might have complained about that.

But anyone who posts a new thread without noticing the 4 visible threads about the same topic deserves to get told.

danieliza1127

Also, when I came in on Tuesday there were a TON of double posts and a lot of people complaining about them.  I think P2 even posted something about it.  So that could be a problem too?  I'm not sure.

sarah0725

I feel like constantly giving the same advice over and over for free and being nice about it mainly benefits the Knot as a corporation since anyone who posts here is a potential customer.... could we get on the payroll?

Rosie109

Is there any way to ban people from the knot? 

kikibaby

I just don't open any of the posts titled similary to "No kids??" "Invite question" or "RSVP's?? STD's?? MickeyD's??"

But the double/TRIPLE posts make me wanna punch someone.  I'm lookin' at you, Mandysmear.

salt78

I haven't really been here since last week so I don't think it was me, but we HAVE been a lot nicer lately. 

Maybe if the IT department would get their ish together, then the double posts would stop and people wouldn't be so irritable.

I'm on board with this. Seriously, they should read the FAQs. It's not like Danielle posted them for her own personal use.

<div>Oh yes. </div>

Who do you want to ban, Rosie.

danieliza1127

Moderators can ban people.

One thing that would be really helpful is if instead of posting a snarky reply, people just not respond or respond and refer the person to the FAQ.  If you don't want to type out the same response over and over, just say "read the FAQ sticky post".  It's sad that people post without reading it, but there you go.  They do and there's nothing we can do to change that.

<div>No one in particular at this moment, just trying to figure out if not playing nice is a bannable offense. </div>

Rosie109

IF NOT I AM GOING TO GO KICK SOME SAND IN PEOPLE'S FACES. 

crfische

See? Vally's from Florida, too. Point made.

Oh yeah, Rosie. There's a whole list of things you can be banned for, but being a smartass isn't one of them. (Thank goodness for me)

danieliza1127

Rosie, there are rules, you can click them on the left to see.  Not being nice won't get you banned unless you are harassing someone, using really bad profanity, etc.  Basically just being mean to the EXTREME.  Just being rude or snarky won't necessarily get you banned.

squirrly

With the double posts, if people will just respond to one, I'll delete the other one.  But, look to see if your webpage is still "working" before you hit anything other than the big X at the top right corner, pleaseandthankyou. 

Rosie, depends on how un-nice they were.  Snarky?  Not bannable.  Calling a poster a biitch for asking a question that's been asked before?  Technically, yes, that's bannable. 

Nice - "Please read the FAQ post found HERE."
Snarky - "For the love of all that is holy, read the FAQs or one of the other 10 posts today on this subject."
Bannable - "You bleepity bleeping idiot!  If you can't see that somebody else already asked this, you're too immature to get married, you bleeping bleep bleep."

danieliza1127

Nice examples Squirrly! 

I try to catch and delete the double posts right away too.
