Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
There have been a few people doing this type of behavior. They don’t make any posts or any comments, because then you could have them deported. The only direct message, because the only thing you can do is block them. It’s a tactical move. I’ve contacted the mods in the past and ask them if there’s some type of functionality that can be implemented. I have seen no results.
The best thing to do is ignore them, and to not even let them know that you were bothered by them at all. Sorry had to go through this, just count it as stripes, or a brick, or a coat, or something like that. (PDW reference.)
I usually do ignore them. I couldn’t let that slide because they were so nasty. Sometimes you gotta air that dirty laundry. He/she commented on my comment and I deported. I got a message saying it was handled. They deleted his comment. Honestly I didn’t post it to deport. Was thinking if they are saying that to me what are they saying to someone that can’t take the bullying. I was bullied in school until my freshman year and it stopped only because I was seen as a good looking girl and sadly that’s when I was accepted. Not to talk about me! It’s just sad people are so small minded. It’s cool when this happens I consider the source and keep rolling. Keyboard bullies don’t know me and can’t imagine how good my life its. I truly feel bad for people like this. It’s gotta be a sad lonely life.
