Relationships Forum...

[Sunny.]

Does anybody else think that the relationships forum is being spammed by pathetic posts which give no advice what so ever?

Heres a example:

it doesn't happen often though, i don't see anything wrong with tryna bring humour to things. Anyway that guy got his answers in the end and there's enough people willing to give advice so i don't see a problem.

I agree, if it wasn't for the random/funny posts around the forum, it wouldn't be that good :P

[Jordy]

I don't agree with it and it does need to be kept in control but sadly it is a teen forum so you're going to get those replies.

I'd have a lot mores respect for them if they weren't all so tedious and unfunny.

[Sunny.]

The odd bit of humour is funny and I know that, but when its a whole thread full of pointless replies its abit uneccesary.

A giggle here and there is what keeps habboxforum going, but a whole thread of it clearly is unacceptable. Maybe stricter mods and reminder threads should be put into place?

[luce]

i don't think they should but what ya going to do about it!? you can't expect mods to go through every post on there to approve them!

Some posts are just inappropriate, I've seen threads where its been one or two pages of these "fun humorous comments" and no help what so ever. I agree with Jen though one or two humorous comments don't harm but 2 whole pages is OTT.

I don't see why the advice given there was any less valid than a full page of sincere words about the importance of relationships. It's just a difference of opinion, not spam

If you have a problem with any of the posts within the relationships forum either report them or PM me and I would be happy to have a look at them. Although I try my best to go through every post I moderate two very busy sections and it's very difficult to see them all - so all help is appreciated! Us moderators can then judge whether we think it is pointless or whether a contribution to the thread on the basis of someone's opinion, which may conflict with yours.

I agree with Jen :)

I agree that the odd funny comment here and there is ok but when you have people giving nothing but unhelpful, funny comments it just isn't funny anymore because everyone is doing it and no-one is receiving the advice they want.

Having a few more moderators in busy sections that are often "spammed" would help because then they would be more people to keep it under control. I know the funny comments and humor is what keeps the forum fun but the is a line and I think over half of this forum cross it daily and it's just pointless because none of it's funny.

This is a forum full of people of all ages (mainly teens) with different views on all aspects of life (including relationships). This is what gives us the diversity of posts through out the board.

Yes some of the responses people may find rude or funny and there isn't anything wrong with being offended or finding a post humorous. It will all depend on our each individual personalities how we read a post and what we think of it.

Obviously when the posts/threads start to break the rules i.e. Abuse/harassment etc then action should and more likely will be taken.

Some of the posts in that thread you gave us an example of are maybe what the posters truly feel the original poster should do or that is what the poster would do in the original posters shoes.

In the relationships forum and many others, it boils down to whether the original poster wishes to take that advice from a post or not.

well there's gonna be more mods soon so it might help :)
however after reading through other sections i think the whole off topicness needs to stop. Recently in discuss anything and others forums it's just gone totally off topic by a group of people (yeah, occasionally myself)and I remember seeing a whole conversation off topic in one thread just like "oh go on msn" :S i mean really what's the point on that, more people are getting away with it and it's just making threads have no purpose at all. Fair enough if it's the relationship one like the example given because there is alot of people willing to give advice like Leah, Cyndia (i think ?:P) and a few other girls (obviously as boys don't have a clue :D:D) so I don't see the problem there but when it's going off topic as in nothing to do with anything just casual chat/mocking of threads then it's not really fair on the thread starter who wants serious questions. K i just realised this has nothing to do with anything but i'm gonna agree with whoever said we need more mods to stop it :)

[leah]

Yeah I agree with it in discuss anything, its practically spam :P
