Idolo. Consolo. Thread in G.Dis.

[Precarious]

I say we read through the thread and I'll bet we'll see a specific point where it went bad, and I'll bet you'll see it was when specific members joined. I vote we make voodoo dolls of those members and drop them in a garbage disposal! I'm not pointing fingers. I'll let others do that. I'm the supervisor of this here uprising so I'll delegate that responsibility to whoever has the longest fingers. See, that's just good management skills. :whistling:

I talked with someone who can relieve that thread of a bunch of the BS it's filling up with, and they agree that its way out of hand, so we'll see...

I have noticed in the last few months that the forums have gotten a lot more random and off topic :/ I liked it more when it was a tad more serious, but of course fun

Hopefully some warning point are given out as well.

I'm gonna read through the consolidated thread right now and count how many off topic posts i can find

 

[ShieldMantid1997]

Maybe whenever someone makes an off topic post mods can delete it. I don't know but it might stop off topic stuff.

Who would be willing to sift through the thread in the General forum to make a thread that's strictly a care sheet?

 

[brancsikia339]

Maybe we should be able to delete our own posts or threads so that we could clean up the messes we make

I hear ya bud, but I would be more than happy if they would just stop polluting that thread as well as other ones here with their Facebook/Twitter garble, I mean fun is fun but when over half of your posts are" my mom grounded me" or "my allowance sux" and so on, it's gets old quick.

I'm sure everyone has gone off topic once or twice. It's normal to joke around on occasion. I'm more annoyed by the chronic abusers that have to chime in after every comment when they aren't even sharing info and then proceed to have drawn out conversations one line at a time on unrelated subjects or what should be a private conversation. That's what I'm really tired of.

I agree. I admit i've gone off topic before and i'm gonna try to stay on for now on

Oh I think this is wonderful!

It will be so much easier to read and we can easily start another thread to chat about them.

Why do you hate america?

I would love to see a caresheet/breeding diaries as one thread where only people with experience contribute and a general discussion about a particular species in another thread. There have been a few people who have started new threads that have asked questions already addressed in the consolidated thread. But I can see why some don't want to take the time to sort through to find answers. The general discussion would be a place for people who want to share that their mantis molted to an adult, etc., an ooth hatched, etc. and people would have a chance to congratulate them.

This would also be nice to have for other species such as Parymenopus davisoni and Orchids.

Because america isn't important.

However, I love America.

I think that's a great analysis of the situation. Caresheets are generally a little too constrictive, especially for a species we are still feeling out, but an open-ended collection of experiences would be a very valuable thing. A place where you post tips and tricks - only what adds to the body of knowledge. That's what the thread started as.

It seems everything went down hill once that fleurdejoo chick showed up. I'm sending her warning points and shaking my finger at her.

For shame, fleurdejoo!

And she buys beer for under-aged dogs!

Evidence: Drunk Dingo!

 

[fleurdejoo]

Ok in my defense my brain only stores so much info. and has recently decided to delete all spelling and grammar! I don't need it!

You feel me right?

Also...I did not start Hec's habit that is my aunt's fault.

He was a puppy raising cane and she said "You need to chill out and poured him a beer."

He is an old man now and how he chooses to spend his final days are his own business.

Judgy McJudgerton.

He hears the bottles hitting in the case and comes running!

I like your pants, it takes me 6 months of work to make them look like that. :lol: Girlfriend!!!

I have to find the pic that I have of a dog that stole my husbands beer while he left it unattended on a rock.

We were doing yard work( acreage work). That dog stole the beer and was rolling the can in such a way As to get all of the beer!

We did not give him that beer!
