Hello all!

After being ask by a few members to show admin face, I am here. :)

I would like to remind you all that we do have the ignore button. If someone says things you do not like or you feel they purposely bait people , please press the ignore button. This option was requested by the Poser forum so that people do not have to see posts from people they do not like or know highjacks posts.

Please keep in mind, staff will not act on post that you simply do not like or if you don't like what the person wrote. We must follow the TOS. If a post/reply breaks the TOS, then staff may act on it. If not, please use the ignore button.

If you would like to talk about what I have said, please feel free to contact me. No need to make this thread more off topic than it already is.

:) 

The ignore function is not a replacement for proper administratrorship of a forum. I have run communities and forums and it is a grueling task. I get that. I done that. I wasn't however afraid of banning folks when they went so far out of standards of behavior, professionalism, etc that they should have diapers put on them :) 

Tis all cool though, tis your forums to do with as you please... I rarely post here as honestly the content of these forums boils down to: "No I didn't." , "Yes you did.", "uh aaahhh can't make me..." translated as child drivel that I don't even allow my own kid to do uncorrected.

These forums could be used to build a community, personally I think it is just used by many for some psychological need to lash out at folks and not get a yellow or red card, certainly think folks wouldn't act this way in RL with the person in front of them. What these forums are though is a place to wage war about who has the better software, or figure, or gummy bears, etc... They could be helpful but hardly can find a sane fact a lot of times for how to do something without a peanut gallery of contrariness. 

Yes that is what these forums could be, a place where folks agree to disagree, disagree politely with points rather than emotional outbursts, help folks with software they've chosen to grow and learn... to extend all our of understandings of cool features in any software... and have a community. These are not those forums and honestly I don't think they can be when the solution is to use an "ignore" button rather than just administrating. 

Nuttin personal against admin, forum admin, etc... my 2.5 cents for what it is worth ... folks here have chosen the path of doing nothing... that is thier right ... I do understand that forums are like herding cats... but they are also like a garden... you need to pull some weeds to make it grow... that being said I do need to go and make sure the tomatoes evade the ebil invasion of the weed monsters ... ;) Don't bother replying or nuttin cause I won't really read the forums anymore ... even if prompted by folks. Cause it is null content, useless, and pulling weeds in my garden is far more interesting and stimulating.
