First of all, I would like to say that I don’t know of a celebrity forum with friendlier members than BZ You guys are really something special. Though I give us an A+, I just want to share some things that would give us an A++

[Joe > Average]

1. I know it may be too much to ask if I were to say stop insulting or speaking negatively of models or celebrities in their own threads...But can we at least not stop by just to say something negative or offensive about models or celebrities who have new or small threads? Instead of showing up to say:
A) " "            
B) "She looks like every other girl, she'll never make it..."  
C) "She's okay..."��
D) "I  don't get her appeal..."��
E)              Blatant insults
If that is our sentiment, could we just not post there at all?


2. When someone is new and starts a thread for a topic that already exists, could we not be rude and condescending about it?   Why not simply explain to them how to use the search within the forum and the search function within "My Assistant" at the top of the page? Or explain to them how to use the model/actress/musician directory that is now at the top of each celebrity forum. Then simply PM the links of both threads to a moderator and let them merge them. If you don't feel like helping the person, just don't say anything to them and give both links to a moderator and let them take care of it.


3. When someone is new and puts a topic in the wrong forum, don't show up just to talk down to them and diss them and the thread. Simply report the thread and let the moderator deal with it or politely show them the ropes .

You guys are great , but I just wanted to share that

First of all I agree to the first post, this is usually one friendly forum. This forum community has some very friendly and fun people.
I know this may make you blush but you are one of the friendly ones Joe...  

It is so hard to not put an opinion on a topic when you have one to make.  I have put a post or two that may not have been wise to put down, but hey hopefully they disapear into the more than 100 page topics.  But it is better to keep with the term, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all."  One person may like that someone else may not like.  Its all in opinion and if someone isn't in the same opinion then just move on to the next thread..

I agree with the duplicate topic, do something about it and keep it nice. I seen another forum today that had related topics menus at the bottom of the topic.  It can be an idea to eliminate some issues with creating a topic that excists, I am sure somewhere that had to be selected when the topic was created.  It is an idea, alot of programing involved I am sure as well, but it could help it.  I am new and am not aware of how often duplicates happen but I am one that likes to find resolutions.  That's one I see as an idea to look into.
I am allows learning new things about this site... May be if there was also a way to direct a new user to a how to guide and show how to the use functions of the site, like  search and such.  It can ellimate questions that can make duplicate posts on the forum.  If there is one I am not aware of it and sorry, like I said I am new still trying to figure out this community.

Hahaha that guy just has an opinion that everyone is entitled to whether they like it or not. haha.

He bumps heads with everyone but all around he isn't too bad.

Thanks, man!  That's awesome of you!    BZ is a place where it's so easy to look like the bad guy from just being honest.  I wouldn't take back a single post I've ever made.

Please keep interpersonal issues off the forum. Thanks!

I agree Matt overall is an ok guy, but some of the his posts are borderline offensive and baiting.

[mbinebri]

^ Damn, Pinkie, we go back like two years over three forums and all I get is an "okay guy"?  

[PinkCouture]

^ Ok, you are a good guy who presents himself badly at times

[mbinebri]

^ I'll settle for that!

I agree that it is difficult, but I'm more concerned with people who have 2 pages having negativity on those two pages. But if someone has 100 pages with just 2 or 3 posts saying, "she has a bad walk," "I hate that hairstyle..." or something," that probably isn't that big of a deal

Hmmm...wonder what went on there....   PinkCouture, I think you use the thumb better than anyone on BZ

[azgirl]

WOW JOe how did you do that... there has been a couple threads I would have loved to do that...

[yours_forever]

Something that would make BZ even better...


1. If people had more to do with the male models as well as the female ones... or the males in general... the women of the forum seem to get waaay more love.


2. If more people voted in the male model competition

Spoiler

yes, I did just advertise my thread in here. What you gonna do 'bout it... please don't give me a warning

[moiselles]

Matt's a great guy.  'Nuff said.     

I can think of several other people who should keep their mouth shut instead...   But I won't because I'm nice.  

[Joe > Average]

There may be a quicker way to do this. I just kinda copied it from The Joker I still don't know how to do cascading multiple quotes

1. Go to reply and copy and paste one set of quotes from one person.

azgirl, on Feb 22 2008, 08:40 PM, said:

2. Give your response underneath one and on top of another
3. Repeat the process with as many times as you want.

OR

If all else fails, you could insert the phrase you want to respond to in within this: the word quote closed in brackets next to the word quote closed in brackets with a / in front of quote.

I'll give you a warning too Matt... shut up!


And for what it's worth

Spoiler

which probably isn't much

I don't think that Matt is a bad person... he just says things sometimes that make you want to trout him
