And then there is the danger that we are supposed to be the enlightened ones of the social community, the ones who can see outside of the social "norms" that so many want to place on us. And then what do we do? We go and create a stereotype of the sort of person/advertiser/poster "we*" want here.
Excellent point. The diversity on here is what makes the site special. The problem is when the Cafe get flooded with these guys moaning about why they never get a response, then go on to say how most people aren't guenuine etc. Easy to answer once, but tiresome when it's every other thread. Also for new lurkers seeing it, they think it's the norm for these posts as there are loads of em, and then the cycle grows.
Is there a sticky or help page on advising these people on the better ways to do a post? That way, if they moan about it in the Cafe they can just be pointed to that.
Ignoring the duff posts would clog up the Forum, fair enough, it's their Froum, but then the people moaning about how we don't want to ride their 'long hard love-rocket!' would clog up the Cafe.
Does that make any sense?? Makes perfect sense to me at this early hour
Damn! Late for school run now
