I completely agree with you sarrider.
If some guys here will continue turning this forum from the source of information ( as it is supposed to be) into a private chat room, we'll start deleting postings.
Its a good thing to express yourself, but when it becomes a Who Makes More Postings competition, I guess this is not what this forum was meant for.
Good points Olga and saridder, however could i point out that this is a forum, so called presumably in relation to the forum meetings of the roman empire, where banter, like the bits taking place is, what makes the basis of being able to express ideas and an opinions in what you consider to be a friendly and atmospheric area. Take that away and everyone would all become robots, leaving meaningless conversations resulting in the downfall of the society. Now, i wonder what happened to the roman empire?
dear chrish14. I respect your knowledge of history and I hope you also understand that downfall of the society is usually( and speaking of roman empire-for sure) caused by people who dont see the difference between freedom and excessive permissivenes. Friendly atmosphere is not necessarily based on meaningles chat. Its possible that you have your own understanding of what this forum is for, but according to the company's idea( that I have to follow as a forum moderator) you dont really see a difference between forum and chat room.
No one here is trying to restrict your freedom to express ideas and oppinions, but please( PLEASE !) note that people come here to ask questions and ask forum members for help, not just to read a conversation of two forum members that are trying to express themselves in every possible way. If two of you enjoy your comminication with each other so much, why you think other people are supposed to enjoy it as well? I know both of you can be really helpful to other forum members sharing your ideas or experience, not just putting meaningles remarks of a few words one after an other. It looks a lot like forum spam, sorry...
Nothing personal. Im doing my job. Please guys, follow some rules here.
I was merely ponting out that it is my belief that because we chat in such a way to each other,that is the actual part that generates interest, and eventually results. Without it, we know each other very little, and therefore can't fully interpret what each of us are meaning. As with the roman emoire eventually everbody stopped talking and became excessively greedy. The forums then became a den of eniquity, and full of malice and greed. Most historians fully acknowledge the fact that rome was destroyed from within. The forums were originally a place where everybody came and discussed matters in a socially acceptable way, but of individual maikng, honour and respectability were upheld, not by any governing body, but by but their own integrety, when some stepped out of line, it was dealt with effectively, this proceedure lasted for centuries, and only fell when some who didn't fully comprehend, decided to try and police it. Others of course got to greedy. It is my belief that a balance is required, but on that no books can ever be written, only common sense and intuition.
"...because we chat in such a way to each other..."
Absolutely on the money, not even any small change back.
Find a chatsite Gents, 1 & 2-liners are getting boring, say nothing, contribute zilch, and confuse everybody, especially those unfamiliar with the site or those familiar but cannot find the trees anymore because the weeds have camouflaged them. Let's keep Olga's chainsaw out of this forest because axed stems tend to weep...
Also, the term "prolific poster" has been used already.
Tell me, is this something to be proud of? Get a life, go out in the evenings or work instead of surf, but please do not bore others with incomplete ramblings which, sooner or later, simply will have to stop, if only because the Moderator says so.
But if you like history so much, dig back and find similar postings like this one - the childish 'fun' of some is a pain for others.
"...a balance is required, but on that no books can ever be written..."
You're wrong. Rules were written, and, after kind and polite warnings, they will be enforced eventually. Imagine your Nick blacklisted - I mean, even that is possible, no?
From my end, I have started screening postings and avoid opening a thread that started or was updated by specific members. I opened this one only because I saw the name "Thunderdome" next to it. I guess members who have been around this forum for a while have formulated a picture about each other, whatever that is, without the need to attach links to web sites where we show a demonstration of our daily life and activities. In the past, members have been off the topic occasionally, but mostly has been entertaining or at least ineteresting for everyone to read. The last month or so, there is a consistent irrelevant, worthless chat going on among the same less than a handful of members. Some people do need to get a life. It would be interesting to translate the cat lines in Russian and throw them to the women's forum, so the ladies can see what they're getting into with these bunch of losers who are unfortunately chasing Russian girls.
wtrav...the last time I got incensed reading a posting was when you did your bit to promote the US and tried your best to alienate the rest of the world.While I can understand a certain frustration at seeing a thread move off topic,surely a little input from the the silent majority would help??????
Something might be irrelevant to you...it would be a sad world if we all like the same things,but to trade insults to another member shows a lack of respect not to mention Immaturity.
Personally speaking I DO HAVE A LIFE THANK YOU......quite a good one,and as usual your logic is way off target.Or maybe I am imagining the fact that my lady IS COMING HERE IN 3 WEEKS!!!!!!!!
Yep that really sounds like the actions of a loser.
To everyone else.........I apologise for any inconvenience caused,being a friendly person I was brought up to respect all opinions,and if that causes a few ripples then so be it.Good luck to all of you......may you all be winners..........Dasvidanya!!!
Neither of the above two postings prior to yours address anyone in specific.
But you react, and you start calling names.
Not nice, and also you demonstrate that when someone has thrown in the towel, in my opinion a rather sporty gesture, you seem to ignore this fact. Mind you, Referees, by definition fair, never do, in fact it ends all argument.
However, regarding the fact that I also have called a name, let me get more personal.
When mentioning Prolific Poster I did not have you in mind, and I never assumed you had a life like a hermit either.
Far from it it seems, you’re receiving a guest within soon, and maybe this fact contributes to your, let’s say more frequent, postings? Hell, I’d be a bit nervous too, won’t deny it.
One more thing though – keep us ‘posted’ as to your findings? If anything this is what could make for very interesting reading here.
With absolutely the best of luck, TD.
Interesting point, that the two liners have stopped on this topic after an interesting and topical subject has arisen. Proves the point that all those concerned do actually head to, when the occasion arises.
With reference to td's comment about 'rules being written', I’m sorry but you don't seemed to have grasped the meaning of what I was trying to say, and that is when people make rules about things that fluctuate, they inevitably cause dissent, and allow for altering interpretations to be given on a variety of subjects. History is littered with episodes where people have tried to improve this, each time saying that, 'this time' it will work? Never has it been so. Oppression of anything that cannot be pinned down 'entirely', only leads to inevitable failure. In a nutshell you cannot cage a bird because it will always long to fly.
I perfectly agree, that some members may not want to read all ‘the banter’ but I would say that this might not be the general case, otherwise why do they view the postings so avidly. They may not reply, but they certainly look, as seen on the viewed’ amounts. It soared since this posting developed, as it has. And yes I agree that sometimes we go overboard, but like my point earlier, now this has been mentioned it has shut the banter up. Wtrav2, how on earth you can make such a sweeping comment is beyond me. I for one do over 100 hours a week looking after unfortunate people, some of my time of I spend travelling, and frequently do. The rest is spent looking for the other thing that I am after, at the moment that is on the internet. I only put postings on, during the time that the women I am communicating with are replying, as I tend to pick ones that have their own emails. If that is a loser then I must be one. I just thought I was having a bit of fun, which I didn’t regard as being an offence. It may not be your taste, but that’s up to you. I am not one for being just sat there twiddling my thumbs whilst waiting for something to happen.
When I start a thread, or lead a post it is always to try to say something relavant and intelligent. About the one and two liners, well, I see a lot of negativity here, people complaining and being cautious, trying to gain information, and I do try to help out. I have been in this search for a wife for a long time, and sometimes it is very discouraging. I always try to remain positive, and offer some nice words, and positive words to those with concerns, yet I do nto see any harm in a few demonstrations of sense of humor. Some of the one liners, and some off topic jests show an incredible amount of intelligence and creativity amongst our users, and by that, it gives more an insight as to who these people are. We are all in the same boat, looking for a wife (Except Glad!)and in that respect we are sort of like a little club. We pay our money, we seek our future wifes, and we are here to help. I know rules are rules, but there is not much foul language, no spamming, and no bad vibes by any of us. I personally feel more comfortable opening up and offering help and advice with people I know, and in the process of posting, I get to know most of these people. As far as a chat line goes, that is a great idea, Olga, you have been promising a chat feature for months now. That is the one problem I see in this site, all the other major ones have chat features. Anyway, I personally do not see the harm in having a bit of good clean fun amongst paying customers.
It can't be less of my business whether other members have a social life and how they spare their time. I assume all members have some sort of life outside this forum. The assumption that one brings a Russian woman to their home country and that means the person got a life is incorrect. If you have a life and you share it with your loved one, then you'll both be happy if you're compatible as a couple. If you don't have a social life, friends, interests and you see a Russian woman as a cure-all solution, then I must say good luck with that! How many postings have we seen about women who come here only to realize that a "good" life comes with the penalty of having to spend the rest of her life with a boring, antisocial person something like a "life sentence". There is nothing wrong dveloping acquaintances with other members and keeping the desired line of communication amongst them, but there is personal email for this. I think there will be no need for censorship of what is posted in this forum. It seems to me everyone here has enough sense to realize the difference between a forum and an online chatroom.
That is true. Perhaps by our little conversations we prove that we are intelligent, social people. I understand the flip side, but hey, we prove ourselves to be different I think that is a good thing.
