Category: the Rant Board
I just want to bring up the subject of our profiles and the people who don't know how to respect what you say in them.
I specifically said I am here to play the games and don't wish to be bothered with qn's. Most of the people here respect that and don't bother me. This weekend American James just kept bothering me and I told him I am going to have to put him on ignore if he didn't stop qn me. Then he called me a bitch and a cunt and said the zone doesn't need people like me. I have never bothered anyone and I don't think he has the authority to tell me I don't belong here. Because I don't want to be annoyed with qn's while playing a game I didn't think was such a big deal. So to those of you who read my profile, don't take it personally. I respect everyones privacy and just ask for the same in return. For some one to call me disgusting names is so immature, rude and need to take lessons on social skills.
That really was rude and uncalled for. However, not everyone reads profiles. I have had lots of people send me private qn's asking me questions that they would have had the answers to had they read my profile. In fact, recently when I suggested to someone who kept asking me questions that he read my profile, he said profiles were "impersonal." I just laughed. He finally did get the message that I wasn't interested in him before I had to put him on ignore, but some people really are dense and rude.
I just have one more comment and suggestion for you Blonde Beauty. While I understand your rant and agree with you, the fact that this guy kept bothering you might have something to do with your user name. Many people come on here to flirt, and with a user name like blonde beauty, I'm not surprised guys want to flirt with you. Yes, you have a right to pick whatever user name you want, but be prepared for the consequences. Just a thought.
plus it's just as easy to shut those off
I second Becky's observations concerning your user name. Also, you can eliminate this entire problem quite easily by accessing your account settings and disabling all quick notes. Notification filters enable you to block many types of messages; one such type is private mail alerts. If you really don't wish to be bothered/contacted in any way, I recommend utalizing that particular filter.
That's as close to obscurity and peace as you'll have on ere, unless you pay $25 for the ability to make yourself invisible.

okay....here's my views:
1. did we all need to know the name of the person who was bothering you?. this could start drama. you could have just used the word people or someone..
secondly, if you had just turned messages off straight away, none of this would have happened in the first place.
thirdly, the username...there are lots of flirters here, you will find yourself constantly bothered.
and 4th, it would have been easier to put him straight on ignore. then he wouldn't have said those things to you
probably taking advantage of the person not seeing the posts!
yeh I was going to say that. you can turn quicknotes off. that was definitely uncalled for though, as others have said. some people are nothing more than rude and immature. that's how it is everywhere!
Just change your name to "hairy and garlic smelling truck driver" .. and you'll be fine.
Last post hahaha! I do have to agree with the others, turn the notes off. But you might find some of us are actually really fun and not rude should you ever wish to chat.
LOL Wildebrew. There are people who would even be turned on by that. I think the advice to turn off all qn's is probably best.
I have to wonder if she is even reading our responses.
personally I do all my talking on the message boards like this. I can take as long as I want to respond and I don't have to worry about the person disappearing if and when I get around to answering. So on my 3 weeks or so of being here I discovered that the boards always wait for you.
I also feel a lot of these people here are disrespectful. But I don't come here for intelligent communication. I get that else where. I have also had some pervs qn me and well that is kind of what you get here. I have also met a few normal people too and they are very cool. I think her name is cute and don't think it is a invatation to not give her the privacy she ask for. And if somebody called me names like that I would be pissed off too. Oh well, that is my 2 cents worth.
I feel that we are generally a nice community. Yes, people can be rude, perverted, and so on, but that's human nature.
even though my involvement with others is little (and that is because I come here mostly for the boards now) I am aware of the general comunity sense you are implying. While this used to be a somewhat bitter and really immature comunity the last year and a really nice the last 2, changes always bring something interesting. i have (tried) to have conversations on public quicknotes and most of the times I miss most of what is said because either they are all talking about an inside joke or just a discussion that has been going for a long time. I have found this site helpful in many ways (especially the boards) and (if) I get enough time off to do "nothing" I'll come here and grab the atention of a handful and try to make more acquaintances. Some of my best friends i'd met here before they left the zone.
For the person that made this shit board, caga te en tu madre!
I know enough spanish to tell you that that was certainly uncalled for.
I think she made this topic for a reason. There are people who just don't read the profiles and keep bugging people even if they tell them to stop.
Thats why she can always shut everything down.
She probably didn't realize it. This site has a lot and it's a bit overwelming to a newbie.
Hmmm,
I have to say blonde beauty that I had a lot of simpathy for what you were saying until I actually went and read your text profile. It comes across as condescending and snotty. There are people on here that will respond to that kind of tone in a message. It's completely up to you what you do and don't say of course, but I have to say that effectively saying something along the lines of, "you're all beneath me so don't bother me", isn't the best way in the World to endear yourself to others and yes, whether you meant it or not, that's how your text profile reads.
All that said, if you really don't wish for people to contact you then do as many on here have already suggested and turn off all forms of communication, then no more need you be bothered.
Dan.
Plus the fact that she hasn't been logged on since she posted this topic. Do you think she didn't like us?
Bob
Cheers, Dan, Mate. Well said.
and blonde beauty; remember that you can't necessarily expect anything other than rude people in a virtual community. Smirks.
MiloTheory, you seem to have much against online communities. Well if you don't like it--you think we're all fake--your welcome to leave.
gotta agree with everyone here, just disable everything, and you'll be fine.
Fuck you kevin! perves are what they are and it's not fucking human nature, well maybe to you .. but good fucking god! No offense, but being perverted is human nature? People should know how to act and when to say things and when to not! You fucking make me sick! with all your oppinions, but hey you have them and have a right to have them. So whatever floats your boat.
OMG! Blind beauty I saw your profile, and let me say something, God dam you sound like you're very cold. Maybe you didn't mean to imply that, but gosh... Just making an observations as I am sure people have already.
Lol! It seems that everytime we get a somewhat "interesting' kind of board, there's always the drama to go along with it! Well, it's the zone, lol!
Anyway, my opinions:
Well, acctually, since it's already out there, and I'm feeling a little daring, i might go ahead and say that same person bothers me all the time! I'm generally a nice person, I cant speek for anyone else, but I am generally cool, but I hate people who just keep insisting. As previously stated, you can ignore anyone you dont want to talk to. Now as for me, I uused to not put anyone on ignore until it got to a point where it got extremely annoying, and so I kind of had to! I dont like guys who seem to think they can flirt all the time, I'm not looking for anyone, so I understand.
Also, Lu, you're a great friend, you're awesome, and that post was quite funny but I dont think it belonged there. Just my opinion though, smile!
Ok, since this board topic was drug up after being at rest I can tell you all something. BB was here just to get a break away from reality. She lost a baby to Cancer, her father just died and some other things I know she does not want public.. She is not a cold person but just the opposite. When she was here she did communicate a little bit with others but because of the insident which she posted she just didn't want to deal with people because she was just in a bad place at the time. when this happened. And, no she has not come back she is still very much in mourning and just trying to cope with things.
As for her name, that is what her father always called her.
She is very much a Christian and for her to be called such vulgar names she just got very upset.
Some of you people need to realize not everyone who logs in to a on-line community like this one, are not always in a good place in their lives, so being considerate to some one is much better than to rake them across the coals.
She is not coming back, so say what you want!
Awwww. I'm glad I didn't post here before. that kind of makes me feel sad.
I can understand why people get upset and stuff like hat. I am like that myself. Some people are emosioal or anything could have happen in there life. Some people might not find things funny as other people do.
We all see things in different ways.
This goes to show that you can’t judge a person from a few written words.
true true.
