"No issue with people reading the forums and not contributing for their own reasons but mailing privately through threads is a definite ploy to lull the recipient into opening a message that they may not normally. Then there are those who rarely or never post except when they see a window of opportunity to shout "CLIQUE"" This is spot on. No issue with someone just looking and reading everyone has their own reasons for being in here. It's the ones who pm just to put someone down over what they said is wrong or to give abuse I have issues with. A debate is grand but normally it's done to be derogatory to the other person. And ye the famous clique that people talk about yet no one names. I mean how dare anyone interact with people they get to know over time and worse have a laugh with them at times on here.The flipping cheek of them | |||

"I wish the lurkers would start contributing to the threads, instead of the same usual ones. Variety is the spice of life, after all. And it gets you noticed which has got to be good for possible future meets." Can work the other way....the lurker that does add the odd comment or starts a thread can get nasty messages too | |||

"Like some others on here - I was a member and read the forums long before posting. TBH, it's really only the last month where I started using this section of the site properly other than the meet requests section, as infrequent as it was. I have to say, at no time, has anyone been nasty or negative on my very few posts, but I think that's more to do with the fact that I try not to be a dick. As for the clique, I can see how people looking in think it's cliquish, as did I until fairly recently. However, I did have the dawning of realisation that it's not so much a case of breaking into a clique, it's more a case of participation. Certainly, there are some who are prolific posters, and the forums do need people like that. But it also stands to reason, that people who participate, become more recogonisable, and therefore more likely to draw a response on one of their threads/responses. Well, that makes sense in my head - god knows how it sounds to people reading it " It reads well It took me a while too to post when I first found the forums and it took a good while before anyone even replied to me on here. But I think that is pretty normal anywhere really. | |||

Discuss? *If you are a lurker, reading this now, please note that you can suck Kaizer's left one " I don't mind the lurkers to be honest ,even giving them the name lurkers would probably be a bit of a misnomer, I'd say they just either don't want to post anything, don't know what to say or maybe how to say it. I would often read threads sometimes can be quite serious and don't know how to respond but I don't have to because its not to me so I just leave it be. Some threads I have nothing to add to them so just like IRL I'll say nothing as I have nothing to add. Don't mind the messages either if someone read a post on the forum, can be a nice icebreaker. But if someone is nasty or wants to have a dig in private instead of saying it publicly then yeah thats a problem. | |||

The issue is Lurkers mailing negative comments or piggy-backing on threads with zero contribution. Its a free world for people to do as, they please. But it ain't cool slating someone for airing / contributing their thoughts and views publicly, whilst said lurker critiques behind the scenes. Kaizer respects your opinion | |||

""Threads should only be allowed to be started by people with numerous verifications, maybe a minimum of 5? Now that's said let the keyboard warriors begin??"" I don't agree with this, but then, I am biased, with 5 veris. Aside from the veris not hitting the suggested limit, here's my reasoning .... If someone can't post in the forums, you are tying one hand behind their back. Forums are a place, not the only way/place, but definitely 'a' place, where people can build up trust or reputation. Without which, can be extremely difficult to get any sort of meets - social or otherwise. On the Ireland forum, we are particularly lucky that we are a fairly small subset of the forums. In the UK forums, there's a much larger population and density to cover a much larger area. Forums are potentially for them, an extra conduit to a conversation starter. Now, to counter this .... There could be a small selection of forums that are open to all, and then once a veri limit has been reached, potentially open the access to the rest of them. just my non ""experts and know it alls on every subject"" thoughts on your 5veri limit proposal | |||

Its segregation. Not everyone will meet 5 people in a year, that would be one every 2 to 3 months, there by rendering them unable to post on forums for over a year or more. It may be a few years. Plus you have cam verified, where new people join and have 10 cam verifications in a week. Plenty on the forums over the past number of months have deleted and returned and are well verified and some people would argue with anything verified or not. My humble suggestion would be a tick like verified on your profile to indicate if you are a regular contributer to forums, this can be removed by admin if you post abusive posts, get a forum ban or if justifiably reported. Not a keyboard warrior just my thoughts. | |||

"The question was not about those who just read the forums and don't make any comments but more about those that make a personal attack or comment to someone in a thread.You wouldnt walk into a pub,call someone a cunt and expect not to be pulled up on it. In my case I get blank profiles giving me advise as to where I went wrong and what I should say to certain fabbers to call them out because they dont really like me ( imagine that ) I've been told not to deal with certain women and what women and couples are the only ones who are honest. Project your shite onto someone else as I find most people are fine on here and if someone doesn't like me I wont lose any sleep over it " IMO (see what I did there ) lurkers look and don't post.... people who privately send shitty messages aren't lurkers | |||

Just a fantasy of the grippers. Post and be damned i say! If you go PM'ing someone from a forum thread, have a very specific reason for doing so. Otherwise say it on the thread or keep your opinions to yourself. Broadcast and be damned/championed/agreed with/ disputed with but do it honestly and you have no regret. Possibly the odd scary thought the following morning, if you've been on forums with alcohol but I often find that more Some of ye may have noticed | |||
