"It seems pretty nice and busy to me recently.. If anyone was nasty to you or someone else, just report it. Or call it out when you see it. " Exactly what I was just going to say . No need for rudeness and bad manners. Keep it polite and friendly peeps | |||

I like sarcasm. Yes, some might not get it because it can come across as not intended, or some overdose it or aim at people in a vulnerable position or chose wrong timing... (not always knowingly) so maybe there is a chance you have mistaken it for that? Lockdown causes lots of frustration. That might be to blame too. | |||

"You're not alone in feeling that way, it's part of the reason some of the older posters are taking a break. Always be yourself - it's how you find your people. Some might not like it but sod it. I think there are still places where you can find a laugh, Jim and Ash do lovely engaging and inclusive threads which are nice to read for lighthearted fun. Some of the photo challenges are good to look at - the creativity shown is brilliant and generally they try and include everyone, it's not as easy as it looks though! I've noticed a few snide comments here and there but I think the meh of lockdown might be why? I'm not sure. It's nowhere near as bad as it was earlier in lockdown. " I also agree it's probably a minority but I would hate to see it creeping in more and maybe us losing the older exoetiaced members especially as this is a good friendly platform to use and engage in | |||

" I also think sometimes differences of opinion can and are misconstrued as being digs and snipes, when more often than not it's just two people with different points of view." Yes! People are oddly protective of their views and when they are challenged they feel it's a personal attack, failing to recognise it's not them. There's so much misinterpretation that can occur in slightly more serious threads and I've avoided those for some time now. | |||

"I think the sharp comments and snide remarks have always been here to a greater or lesser extent and while I do think there have been times in the past year where it appears to have got out of hand, it does seem calmer lately and certainly the digs seem less prevalent. I tend to ignore them mostly when I see them - although will occasionally challenge or report if they're particularly nasty though. I also think sometimes differences of opinion can and are misconstrued as being digs and snipes, when more often than not it's just two people with different points of view." yea agree with the points mate and usually if I see something or subject I disagree with or dont like I simply dont comment but i have noticed others saying things and wondering why they would say anything at all | |||

Encourage and foster a more inclusive, friendlier attitude, refrain from the negative comments. Try and remember that sometimes people read things a different way and have different senses of humour. If you do see nasty comments, call it out or report it. | |||

The trouble is there are those that will take an opinion as an attack or be offended for the sake of being offended, rather than either taking that opinion on board or debating it like adults. | |||

"I personally find that most of my posts get blanked and I feel that it's very cliquey in the forums. " Hi Curve. I’ve always loved your user name being a big fan of that show. I often get ignored in threads, I think most people who aren’t longer term users do, but I don’t take it personal as some threads have a lot of posts. | |||

Yes, this. I have found that there are new cliques/friendship groups springing up with the new members and I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing - sure at times they talk amongst themselves but we all do that. I'll just keep posting on threads that interest me. | |||

It's not just newbies or irregular posters that get ignored - most people do at one time or another - it's the nature of the beast - threads can move fast or a point can easily be overlooked etc or even a point doesn't need a response. That said there are undeniably threads that can be a group of friends bouncing off one another, or threads that aren't as inclusive as they could be. Ultimately you just have to keep chipping away and those that relate to what you say will pick up on it - I also think it's easy to feel like you've been ignored sometimes when in fact a lot of people have noticed but just not responded directly. | |||

Fully agree with this. The key thing for a lot of it is how things are worded in the first place. Some people word things with the intent to hurt, and some word things poorly but with no intent of harm. Both ways however end up getting to people in the wrong way. | |||

While I don't consider any of the above, I've been around a fair decent amount of time to be known and still often have plenty of threads or comments passed over. It is just the nature of the beast. | |||

Some of the exits have been electric. You'll always have divisive views due to people having differing experiences, and sometimes that is even a differing experience of the same event.
