Nobody bullied the OP, the replies were pretty light hearted to be fair considering he asked if anyone was real on here.

When I first joined I found the forums to be a bit blunt at times. Overtime you get used to it. I therefore think that if you are not used to them, as the OP might not have been, the piss taking might have been a bit much.

I've seen similar posts started in the chat and swingers support section where the response has been some banter and some serious comments. Think this one just weighed a little on the side of too much banter.

That or he did the common single male thing and jizzed and decided he didn't need the site anymore!

I don't think he was bullied at all but I don't think he helped himself with his comments about the site being like Facebook and asking if anyone was real, especially as he had a blank avatar, friends only pics etc.

I admit you have to have a thick skin for the forums and I've heard others say the same several times.

Perhaps that in itself says something

Just because someone might open themselves up to negative comments or ridicule its not necessary to dish them out.

That however is only my opinion

"I admit you have to have a thick skin for the forums and I've heard others say the same several times.

Perhaps that in itself says something

Just because someone might open themselves up to negative comments or ridicule its not necessary to dish them out.

That however is only my opinion "

Yes, broadly. Two observations:

1/ Some people make it very hard not to go OMG, FACEPALM

2/ Fab is a lot nicer than *many* other places on t'internt. Much better run and much nicer.

The OPs question was legitimate, there are literally hundreds of adult dating sites out there where 80% of the female members are fakes or hookers... he had just joined, he didn't know this site at all, I guess he does now.

New people join everyday, for many it will be their first time on fab, and unlike the vast majority of websites with similar concepts, most of the people on this site are here to actually meet and not generated using the same tired photos that have been used for years. Newbies are restricted in the messages that they can send to begin with, even if they get verified they have to wait a week to use the forums...

Sometimes it appears to be in some peoples interests to chase newbies away, so when they ask a question "we have all seen before" (remembering THEY haven't), they are set upon for not "being with the program" from the get-go......

The other observation I would make is that I don't think any one individual poster crossed the line necessary. However the combination of multiple posters taking the piss in quick succession accumulated into a post that doesn't read too pleasant.

no one gave him a chance they just pilled in with flippant sarcastic remarks we all like a bit of banter but cmon he was raising a valid point that concerned him enough to raise it then was met with constant ridicule I can also confirm he had a least one pic on his profile which was reasonably well penned too it gave me the impression he had given his profile some thought and he was only seeking reassurrence maybe he could have worded his opening post a little more tactfully but he was new to fab xx

If a new single female had posted exactly the same question, in exactly the same way, this thread wouldn't have gone the way it did...

...Only one person actually answered his question with a little thought (and welcomed him to the forums), the rest just took the piss, maybe out of themselves, but in an indirect way, out of the OP, if you can't see that , meh....

At best it was light hearted to a regular forum user. Not someone new who is still getting to grips with the site.

It cannot be said the posts were not taking the piss out the OP

Playground mentality , lets take the piss out of the new kid together.

Or if there's no new kid let's see who we can single out to victimise together instead.

And yes as someone mentioned earlier... You start to see a pattern emerge and who the instigators and pack hounds are.

Not nice behaviour but I doubt it will change as people like that are present in all aspects of life unfortunately.

Maybe the site is fake too. perhaps it's just another program in the matrix?

So as the OP is already UNLOS do you think he or e is still here, but set up a fake profile just to ask if the people on here are real?

The guy asked a stupid question, and was answered appropriately. Had the responses been a series of yes I am real, then it would have been appropriate to consider the posters fake Ai responses, humour and inappropriate answers mean people not programme are answering.

But as the OP didn't understand that or engage either he was fake or troll. neither of which will be much use to the site, so maybe it's good he left.

Posting threads that some may find provocative into an open forum for debate is hardly the same as openly targeting and bullying an individual in the forums.

That's the difference between debating and bullying. But it's obvious certain people in here can't distinguish between the two

I'm not saying that happend on this thread but I've seen it happen lots.

As to the rest of the Internet I'm sure your right. I'm not on any other sites so I can't compare

Yeah, so unless they are a particularly tiresome repeat offender, I don't add to it.

But it does happen with some frequency.

New people join everyday, for many it will be their first time on fab, and unlike the vast majority of websites with similar concepts, most of the people on this site are here to actually meet and not generated using the same tired photos that have been used for years. Newbies are restricted in the messages that they can send to begin with, even if they get verified they have to wait a week to use the forums...

Sometimes it appears to be in some peoples interests to chase newbies away, so when they ask a question "we have all seen before" (remembering THEY haven't), they are set upon for not "being with the program" from the get-go......

Playground mentality , lets take the piss out of the new kid together.

Or if there's no new kid let's see who we can single out to victimise together instead.

And yes as someone mentioned earlier... You start to see a pattern emerge and who the instigators and pack hounds are.

Not nice behaviour but I doubt it will change as people like that are present in all aspects of life unfortunately.

Same as there will be people who come on the forums and post provocative posts to get a reaction.

Posting threads that some may find provocative into an open forum for debate is hardly the same as openly targeting and bullying an individual in the forums.

That's the difference between debating and bullying. But it's obvious certain people in here can't distinguish between the two

No, I didn't mean the OP here. I've just seen some post some pretty cruel and nasty posts before now and then when they were picked up on it, they accused people of victimising them.

This made me laugh

FYI the first question I ask when I walk into a bar is "would you kiss, fuck or avoid me"

That usually clears the place out but it does mean I get served quickly.

They then rally the troops and try and single out and victimise the poster that had for whatever reason had ruffled their feathers.

Like I mentioned before... Playground behaviour and pack mentality that sadly is evident in all aspects of life by these types of bullies unfortunately.

A bunch of forum threads saying "why are all single guys arseholes"

I wonder if there is a correlation "

Aww! I feel your pain!

Yes, I (we) used to filter out single guys. Now we (I) have changed that! Not because we want to meet you, but because you are people too, here to enjoy yourselves as much as we are!!

I saw no pack attack either? People were being flippant and sarcastic and taking the piss but it was not a personal attack or critical of the OP. A different character would have just lapped it up - thinking of that 'hardcock' chappie or whatever his name was.........

I've had people be negative to me a couple of times in the forums, I inboxed them personally and have actually turned the initial negative into a positive as we chatted for days after and still do chat.

Have you ever thought that maybe people came to their own conclusions about posts individually? And that there was no rallying of troops?
