Popular Post TotallyOz Posted May 10, 2017 Popular Post Posted May 10, 2017 Two members have been suspended for 30 days for conduct unbecoming a member. They are free to return after 30 days if they so desire. Civility is paramount to a successful board. This is not the Wild West. baobao, eurasian, TMax and 3 others 6
spoon Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Hurrah for the ceasefire effort! 30days should be long enough for the 2 members to calm down.

vinapu Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 10 days would be sufficient to hotheads to cool down but good to know that throwing insults at other members did not go unnoticed by moderator. faranglaw 1
Aikuchi Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 Sorry, you don't have permission for that! Dam it!!! I need my 200 posts!!!!!!! You only need 100 posts now. Holy ... I just finished reading that thread. Wow .. i did not expect it to devolve that quickly or aggressively. I hope that won't happen again. T would think we would all prefer to remain happy and minimize on negativity and choose to agree to disagree than rush head first into a bloodied match of 'who is righter and mightier'. ps: for clarity - all images in my profile pic are of me and since I posted it online, i know the risks of it circulating online - although it would be arrogant/egoistic of me to think anyone would want to use my likeness for anything.
stijntje Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 It would have been better to post this topic in the section for members with > 100 posts. Others weren't aware of any problem and can't see the topic. emailbroken 1

Popular Post aussie_ Posted May 11, 2017 Popular Post Posted May 11, 2017 Life goes on I do not think it is worth rehashing Need more posts of trips there!!! Koop khun krub... We need more trip reports but two of our most popular reporters Numazu and Vessey have lost interest and for good reason. There is not a lot of incentive for someone to spend many hours preparing reports when issues that could have been solved with private messages were made into major investigations and personal criticism on the main forum. That gets me to 100 posts so maybe i can now read what all the commotion is about in the exclusive Photos forum Manly69, vinapu, kokopelli and 4 others 7

To add to this, there's some unnecessary bomb throwing in the discussions as well, especially in the past few months. It kind of takes away the joy from posting, at least for me. I know some people thrive on this environment, but not me. I would love to continue with the reports, and there is a lot to share, and still to come. We shall see. Congrats on hitting 100! This move by Scooby could usher in more activity from new/occasional posters, though from some of the posts, it can also lead to a lot of filler. Alexx, vinapu, Aux1010 and 3 others 6
forky123 Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 It gets boring. Someone creates an interesting post and in under a page the usual suspects turn it into a troll fest. This forum has provided such good information for me but I find myself not reading threads as soon as it degenerates. Soon it will be pointless reading at all. So, thank you for suspending those causing this latest spat but there are several people who continually cause issues who could do with similar treatment. faranglaw 1
vinapu Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 To add to this, there's some unnecessary bomb throwing in the discussions....... Bomb throwing is OK, it's unnecessary dwelling on issues and inability by some to accept that their view is not shared by everybody which is source of degeneration of threads instead of simple agreement to disagree. Hopefully waters will calm now for a while. It would be nice if you continue with reports but resume only if you feel you have fun posting again. There are lot of people here who appreciate amount of work necessary to produce trip report. traveller123 and lilbob69 2
Popular Post ggobkk Posted May 11, 2017 Popular Post Posted May 11, 2017 Of the three forums that are Thai gay topical, I decided to make this the one for my posts as the replies were usually informative and supportive and did not denigrate into trolling attacks as could be found in other places. There has been a slight shift recently and Vessey and Numazu were on the receiving end. Their reports are missed...but it's good to see that they are back commenting. I'll be in the Land of Smiles in early June and am planning on a trip report...see what happens. vinapu, Jasper, GWMinUS and 2 others 5
aussie_ Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 you got it right ! your time will be better spent doing dishes or walking your dog You definitely got that right!
Guest ryanasia Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 I have probably gotten pretty close to being suspended myself. If the new rules mean that we all can conduct ourselves aa little differently I am willing to follow them. This assumes the rules are enforced with no favoritism.

There are lot of people here who appreciate amount of work necessary to produce trip report. Well I'll add my 2cents worth. I love trip reports (with or with out pics or hardcore sex) I just hope both Vessey and Numazu will start posting them again in the not too distant future. And of course I look forward to more of the legendary Vinapu's trip reports aussie_, Aux1010, TotallyOz and 1 other 4

It kind of takes away the joy from posting, at least for me. I know some people thrive on this environment, but not me. I would love to continue with the reports, and there is a lot to share, and still to come. We shall see. Well, a forum is for exchange of information and opinions, and if we were all of the same opinion, it would be boring. Someone who doesn't want opposing opinions should go into an echoic chamber. I certainly appreciate all feedback, as long as it's civil. The more diverse, the better. steveboy and lilbob69 2
