    [QUOTE]I think with my local board, there was some hacker erasing some of the posts (for whatever reason, they knew it was a hacker and not TK being wonky) and so people got sick of it and left. And now there's maybe like, 10 regular posters, but only 1 or 2 post every single day.

    <div>Why on earth would anyone want to hack TK and erase posts?</div><div>
    </div><div>Then again, why would anyone go through the trouble of creating an AE and posting some rediculous MUD? And why does Thurmanpowell keep posting?</div><div>

    [QUOTE]Our board had a vendor that kept harassing everyone. It was really bad, like to the point that people were talking about getting a lawyer involved.

    <div>I got a hate PM from a vendor because I was quite rude to her. It was amusing.</div>
  • Yeah I skimmed FFF. Looked frustrating. But I don't get why we as an E board don't acknowledge that FFF is a bitchy thing to do and we talk shiit about people and thats kind of crappy. We're obviously ok with it so why defend ourselves to trolls? It is funny that its on an etiquette board because talking crap is not really etiquette focused. But who the eff cares that other people care about the double standard? I don't.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: No evening thread yet?? : Maybe we should keep our FFFs and AYGs on SB.  Because, you know, we're usually snarky in them.
    Posted by crfb87[/QUOTE]

    <div>Haha. It might reduce the amount of trolls who come to point out the obvious. But really though, I think sometimes people get too defensive when trolls roll in with that shiit they always say. Like people don't want to be called bitches or mean because they don't want to admit that what they are doing IS actually kinda crappy. We've been doing it for ages and its just the way it is. So I just think people need to "own" it more. That said, there are people who do, so it obviously isn't everyone. </div>

    <div>Yes - it's an Etiquette board. That means that brides with Etiquette related questions should post here for advice. However, we as PEOPLE have formed a "community" of friends here. FFF is no different (IMO) from Morning, Afternoon, and Evening threads. They're NWR and are friends flaming eachother (and others) for random stuff. </div><div>

    [QUOTE]See I think that FFF is kinda with etiquette.  Like, we call out people who did something douchey.  We aren't calling out people who do normal things or things with etiquette. I like how I say "we" I could not tell you the last time I flamed someone.
    Posted by crfb87[/QUOTE]

    <div>I don't think it is. I don't think etiquette would condone talking shiit about people. But like I said, I don't friggin care. I do it, so whatever. But I just thought the back & forth with the troll in FFF was ridiculous. I couldn't believe it took so long for someone (eagles this time) to come in and say Hey guys, just IGNORE the person. </div>

  • I haven't seen much as far as regs calling out regs lately. Like it maybe happened a little today, but most flames these days are newbs or random people who say things that are ridiculous.

    During that whole debacle, I was seriously thinking, "Why are people still engaging this person?" But I'm not one to step up and say that kind of thing, I just let people do their thing.

    <div>Yeah, I thought that. She made some bitchy comment to me and I just laughed at her and stopped responding. Not in FFF though - the other one she was in recently. I am so bad at remembering haha.</div>

    <div>That isn't really my point, at all. I am not saying that FFF shouldn't be done or that people should be ashamed of themselves. People will always bitch about NWR threads because they don't realize the "reg" dynamic. I dunno. I actually was rather amused at some of what the troll said because she/he was clearly just doing it to get a rise out of everyone. </div>

    I think it was because they pointed out it was an etiquette board so all questions must be E-related and people should go to Chit Chat if they just wanted to chat.  If she had only been around when it was rare for there to an actual E-related thread on E (yes I lurked for a long time).

    Yeah, Poke, I've seen a couple people say recently that there have been too many WR threads lately... but I think a lot of that is that it's people asking the same questions over and over and over again. If people had something original to ask, people wouldn't get so irritated by them.

    ETA - I totally misread what you said, so ignore my response. But yes, people have come on here to bitch about the NWR threads.

    That's actually kind of surprising since that's the heart of wedding season... but I guess it could also be that by that stage of the game, people are done planning, for the most part. Except for people like Musu and me who get married in the dead of winter ;)

  • The problem with sending FFF over to SB is that some new poster is going to start it off with "I'm feeling snarky so I'm going to bitch here about this poster.".  That never goes over well. 

    I have nothing else to add but, Chrissy, I loved Charmin's kilt picture.

  • I just think it would be silly to send it over there because FFF is E's thing, AYG is theirs. They're essentially the same thing, yes?

  • Repeat questions don't bother me but it's the "I've read those other threads but my situation is super duper special so those responses don't apply to me" posts that drive me batty.  Because it's apparent they don't have the self awareness to realize that no, their situation is not unique and it doesn't not bode well for how they are going to react to the responses.

    Especially when they refer to the other thread, and then go on to ask basically the same question.

    Agreed, but I've seen regs in the last month or so say they've had enough of all the WR posts lately.. I think Mica and Eagles are two of them, but I could be wrong.
