"I'm a regular poster in here and as I said in response to another thread the other day, I stand over the green arrow and challenge anyone to find anything nasty or abusive I've said to anyone on here. I agree that some threads get carried away and hurtful comments are made. I also agree that some of those so called " newbies" are in fact seasoned trolls who deliberately start threads where they know it will escalate and despite numerous warnings from regular posters people continue to feed these trolls and refuse to take the time to look at who is actually posting the thread. " Well then unless you know of a way of been sure its a troll then maybe don't interact with them. Sarcasm can be very hard to come across properly in forums. Not everyone is capable of intellectual conversation, doesn't give anyone carte blanche to be nasty or snigger at them. If it's apparent they're on the drink just scroll by... No rule saying everyone has to comment on every single thread on here just because you're a 'regular'. Newbies will prove themselves in time they don't need to pass the Fab Regular Test  | |||

"I remember the post in question. I honestly honestly had no clue what he was trying to say. It wasn't just txtspk.. it was completely unintelligible to me. Maybe I'm just not down with the kids enough. " Strange comment... If it was unintelligible to you did you need to comment?? Clearly was not a kid so the 'down with the kids' part comes off a bit passive aggressive in my opinion. Some of the replies he got from certain people are the same people who I'm sure advocate Mental Health awareness. The irony of it. Like I said if you or anyone didn't like what he said why feel the need to comment or reply?? Obviously it's your perogative but can't fathom why... | |||

"There is no test... but unintelligible d*unken 3am thread creations thoroughly deserve to have the piss taken out of them. Put even a tiny amount of effort into a thread and it will be taken a lot more seriously. Has zero to do with any clique. " They absolutely do not deserve to have the piss taken out of them. You've literally proved my point... Thank you  | |||

Newbies will prove themselves in time they don't need to pass the Fab Regular Test "You won't find my fingerprints on that thread btw as I didn't comment on it and while I agree that not everyone is capable of intellectual conversation I also agree that the word clique has been thrown around recently and mostly by people who are happy to lurk without contributing until they see a window of opportunity to shout clique. And before it is suggested that people are afraid to post in case they get jumped on by the regulars, how do they interact normally? If you walk into a room swinging punches then expect some to be thrown back. | |||

"Not offended on his behalf, just an observation on the behaviour of certain adults on the forums. Playground springs to mind." This place is a bit of an adult playground I guess. It's a bit of fun. This place would be terribly dull if noone was allowed to take the piss a bit. Noone was nasty as far as I remember. | |||

"There’s lots of that on here op fair play for bringing it up most people are decent on here but there’s also lots of nasty key board warriors who come on here just for the very reason" Yep, doesn't go un noticed!

"I may be called a "keyboard warrior", a "fighter", sometimes even name caller as I usually don't make things pretty to people and say it how it is. I have always believed that every single person coming on fab first and foremost is a human being with feelings and emotions and goals. A human being, who came here to be treated like one. I always believed that single men on fab don't deserve to be written off as some kind of sub humans who can't be even trusted to come anywhere near your house. A sub human who doesn't deserve a "hello" when you bump into him down the street (plenty of threads on forums to verify that this is what women and couples are saying about how they feel about people they meet on fab). I have always advocated equality and compassion. After organizing a few m&g's I noticed that men don't really show up, so once again I tried to walk a mile in their shoes. I thought "oh gee, they may be scared of coming because they're afraid that they have to impress everyone, they may be nervous because someone may expect them to perform something, they may be unsure because they see all these couples with all their veris and may be unsure if they can match it. So me and Dirk came up with an event just for newbies. New guys, who just joined in and struggled on the site. Just a simple social introduction to reassure them that fab is what you want it to be and people are just people, not some crazy sex animals who are gagging for cock. Way I've been treated by them same newbies was beyond anything I've ever imagined. Grown men kept pushing and pushing me to meet them alone after me politely explaining that I couldn't possibly meet every newbie on fab individually, they kept pestering me for more photos, for other contact details, even for quickies and blowjobs. They treated me like I'm some kind of a spare piece of meat who'll just take a cock once it's close enough for me to touch it. I cancelled the event as dealing with a hundred sleazy idiots, who were genius and original enough thinking that if they will attend the event they will get into my knickers (they made it pretty clear in their constant private messages). Even after me making it more than clear to them multiple times on a regular basis that I most definitely am not interested in having sex with them. After a month of dealing with that I just lost all hope and cancelled the event. My new learned attitude - yes, newbies are welcome. Only ones, who don't need to be reminded to respect people, put in some effort. Rest of the crowd who heard from their mates about the site where every woman will be hanging of their cocks and be all over them. Who set up profiles of sixteen bushy, crusty cock pics with "tall, dark and handsome, ask me anything" text. Who send you and me and everyone else messages inviting themselves to our beds. Those types can go and clean fuck themselves. Newbies or not. Self respect and respect for others isn't hard to grasp. " Hi Missus, whereas I totally understand your points I was talking specifically about a 'Hello' post a new member put here this morning and the subsequent replies I saw before I left the house. Seems post has been removed possibly by Admin or OP, not sure. It was really the herd mentality of the forum posters I found horrible. Once one started it was game on. Like I've said before, don't like the thread don't reply. It's like some people just want to make themselves relevant in the forums. Private messages are totally different ballgame, I tolerate no shit. Ironically the first guy who replied to the OP has two different single guy profiles on here, both different ages, localities etc and I know this 100% because I met him for coffee couple years back. And here he was first in with his smart arse comments... | |||

Couple who done an m&g had a good enough turn out but a good amount of flakes who never showed up. Reason we didn't want to do an m&g for them was because it's the m&g's that they don't show up to in a first place hence us doing something different. | |||

So yes, to the outsider it may seem very nasty and alienating when regulars decide to have some fun with a thread that may have not intended to be funny, but as _ealitybites said - green arrow is magical. It shows posters previous posts and it's very easy to spot regular trolls. | |||

"Noticed something this morning on here, a newbie posted a Hello message, introducing himself etc. Now his grammer was bit text talk but by god, he was vilified by the regular posters. He was slagged, laughed at, ridiculed all for saying Hello?? Now I've seen other 'regular' posters post the same stuff here day in day out without any issue. Anyone ever hear of the saying "If you've nothing nice to say then say nothing". If he's not your cup of tea scroll by, I'm sure he'll be someone's. Post since gone so I reckon OP removed it. No wonder newbies are afraid to post in the forums. Some of you would want to take a look at how you portray yourselves on here in all honesty...says a lot about yourselves if you need to behave like that... " I hate that shit I really do ! but every time I pull some fool up for picking on some dude just on here not making a fuss not annoying nobody ! It turns in to a disaster  so I’m just saying nothing cause I have got in to ridiculous arguments over this topic so glad ur bringing it up ! Some people might see this coming from me and scream bullshit !
but I’ve only had run in’s with people who like to cause shit !!
leave them to it ! I’m not on here to cause arguments! And certainly not to single someone out for nothing | |||

As in a perfect world we would always be nice to everyone.

It is for sure nice to be nice. Being nice on fab though can be interpreted into so many innuendos that people simply have given up on being nice and choose to either be straight to the point, take the piss or be silent.

But the world isn't perfect and we hit the nerve with people who hit our nerve and arguments and debates go on... there will always be someone who feels mistreated, who's threads will be taken over by chit chat, who will start a debate which will turn into a fight, one who will throw out a sensitive topic and watch the world burn. It is for sure nice to be nice. Being nice on fab though can be interpreted into so many innuendos that people simply have given up on being nice and choose to either be straight to the point, take the piss or be silent. Please do participate in forums more, regulars are a really nice bunch once you get to know them a little "I have found since lockdown it's easier to stay silent.  | |||

"Whilst almost everyone has been burnt by somebody or other whether new or old here we would all do well to remember what it’s like to be new and trying to “break into” a conversation where everyone seems to know each other. To me that’s what the forums are like. Newbies get a bad name but unless they are pm.ing you then you should just give them the benefit of the doubt on the forums. It costs you nothing. They are talking nonsense? Ignore Text speak annoys you? Ignore Basically unless it’s something truly offensive as distinct from some silly, tipsy, chitchat etc just ignore or give them a pass. I don’t know the poster on the thread being referred to nor do I know if he was a first time Poster or whether he has previous form but I did see it and it was nonsense talk but so what? Better to ignore then take the piss from someone whose circumstances you don’t know. And if he was a troll all the more reason to ignore and not give oxygen. "100%, there was some slagging of his literacy, text talk etc, that's really what annoyed me as no one knows anothers struggles. Anyway, going to leave it there as its gone now anyway.... Im well capable of joining in Missus regardless, just something has to spark my interest | |||

"So let me get this right... You put up a post about a newbie guy,getting torn to bits,about his grammar,he is no longer on here,and you would like the people who tore him to bits,to come out and say they did it?? Did I get it right ?? "Think op was just bringing up the fact that a lot of bullying goes on ! Not banter cause that’s completely different I love all that ! But definitely some people get picked on and not in a subtle funny way ! Look I’ve seen it a few times wer there was a few separate people hitting this lad up with vicious stuff !

"Noticed something this morning on here, a newbie posted a Hello message, introducing himself etc. Now his grammer was bit text talk but by god, he was vilified by the regular posters. He was slagged, laughed at, ridiculed all for saying Hello?? Now I've seen other 'regular' posters post the same stuff here day in day out without any issue. Anyone ever hear of the saying "If you've nothing nice to say then say nothing". If he's not your cup of tea scroll by, I'm sure he'll be someone's. Post since gone so I reckon OP removed it. No wonder newbies are afraid to post in the forums. Some of you would want to take a look at how you portray yourselves on here in all honesty...says a lot about yourselves if you need to behave like that...

The usual trolls and bullies will continue to post comments.
Doesnt matter what the rest of us say.
As for them making them aware of their actions,they know fully what they are doing.
This is just feeding them their blown ego.
Maybe we should make them take responsibility for what they say.
Maybe we should report them.
Maybe we should out them.
Wouldnt that be the right thing to do??
I have the balls to say it. | |||

For the record we have ALSO attempted over the years to run newbie veri events resulting in total failure... and we have run very successful meet and greet and play parties so we know what we're doing.
There really is no helping some people. These days we block messages from newbies as we feel we have tried and failed and life is too short for making tons of effort and just getting time wasted. I have given thoughtful solid advice to newbies here in the forum and will continue to do so, but zero-effort posts WILL continue to get piss-taking or sarcastic responses. You get out what you put in. | |||
