ON USMB? I haven't posted there in months...

[Kathianne]

Abbey, it's no one's 'fault.' Problem is with trollers. This site is getting hit more than others, as there are more posters than USMB, which has fewer trolls, but No1's has more thoughtful and prolific posters, especially on the left. The trolls are IMO driving away posters like myself.

[Kathianne]

when it comes to the personal, no better site. For sure.

When it comes to problems, well there are some that have made this a site to avoid.

Why don't you just quit beating around the bush and name some names?

[LiberalNation]

I don't mind this place, a little slow but whatever.

[Abbey Marie]

It's all opinion, but I think we have a good balance of political debate and fun stuff. I suspect that people have different definitions of trolls, but by any defintion, you can see them everywhere.

Without mentioning names, there are political boards that have some truly disturbed people. I'll take trolls over sickos any day.

I haven't any, do you? It's the tenor. There is little freedom to deviate from those that are strong personalities. They post and post, regardless of truth or accuracy. Hell, they can post the sun coming up tomorrow and if it does, you're a liar!

I've got plenty of suspects but i'm under a gag order right now. We have members who are total hypocrites, who can berate, women especially, up and down and say vile things that I don't even let flow from my mouth but the minute you give them what they dish out or make light of whatever ridiculous thing they might utter and believe me this crew utters some seriously stupid stuff they are reporting posts and crying like bunch of attention starved infants. Now admittedly i'm no saint but the one thing noone can say about me is that I run and tattle when i'm given what i've been dishing out.

Then we've got our obvious post whores and our little crew who reps each other back and forth day in and day out, it gets tiresome.

Then we've got our resident rightwing pundit parrot.

That may be as it may, but I'm not in any of those groups. For the first time today, I was a recipient of someone that played a bad post, "quoting me, but using their own words." I posted from a news article, they quoted me as saying something else. They were not reprimanded, indeed, they feel quite content to act like all is well." It's not.

I'm open to recommendations...

Is there something staff can do to make things better? Is there something more the board can offer?

Keep in mind, the trends tend to go back and forth on various boards. Some topics hotter than others, and sometimes it's just timing. I've seen slow times on all, and hot times on all. I've seen trolls on all, and good posters on all.

Sometimes traffic is up but the posts don't reflect that. Is there a reason you feel people come here and not post, or view the board and not log in?

Let's keep this as a 'general' conversation and not a thread to point out faults of specific users. But I am willing to hear everyone's input, and take it collectively and do what's best for the community.

Sort of like a certain poster that said he could make up all the lies he wanted about other posters as long as it was in the Steel Cage.

Hold people accountable for what they post.

A shoutbox would make everything better.
