How the hell did I miss this? I haven't noticed any cliques. Maybe I haven't been around long enough......

I think the site has actually improved quite a bit. It seems to ebb and flow: One week I post advice and get a ton of positive responses and other posters are ignored, the next it's like my posts aren't there and then someone else says the same thing and gets a big "thanks". I think the real cliqueiness problems were when a few posters dominated constantly and really only responded to a small group of their friends. Nothing wrong with having friends, but luckily it seems most of that sort of thing has stopped or been moved to chat where it belongs.


oh for petes sake. LIFE is like high school. LIFE has cliques. there could be 100, 1000, or however many people in a room, it could be a support group(since new moon is talking about the site being supportive or not). and they are NOT all going to be friends or like each other.

do you like everyone? are you nice to everyone? are you supportive of everyone and everything they do?

come on now ::)

We aren't all going to be friends, but life is only like high school if you are immature and cliquey and have those sort of friends. My life hasn't been cliquey and drama filled since my late teens/early 20's. Back then, I caused most of the drama and shit, as most young people do.

I agree that the problem is mostly resolved, but, really, it's not ok to make people feel unwanted and use the excuse "Everyone does it."

I read somewhere that Americans love to compare life to high school, and that Europeans never get it. I think it must be TV.


So true. I know this isn't all Americans, but I do think it is funny when somebody is still talking about and creating their personal identity in that they were the 'jock' or the 'cheerleader' in high school. Because like five years later that really matters... ::)

This is my take on that: Some people peak intellectually in high school. For people like that, those were the "good old days". They remain static. Instead of broadening their horizons, trying and experiencing new and different things they forever remain the same. Aside from getting older, popping out a few and obtaining more material possessions they are the same intellectually as they were in high school.

I've been on this site for 3 years and don't notice cliques nor affiliate myself with any. And I still love it. I guess the closest I would come is that I pay extra attention to girls in my geographic region. That's about it. But then again I am a giraffe.

When I went to my 30th high school reunion, nothing had changed. The cheerleaders and popular girls were still sitting up front where everybody could see them, the jocks were still sitting in the back with their legs stretched out and their hands behind their heads, and the geeks were still sitting in the middle and having the most fun. Ande nobody else bothered to come.

^^ I would have freakin left my reunion. My 10 yr was awesome. The two geeks that showed up looked great and had great jobs and one had married a really hot girl and had a newborn daughter. The only jock was graying with a beer gut and married to the only cheerleader that looked like she had aged about 40yrs and gained about 40lbs, she had frizzy hair with giant roots and was squeezed into an 80's looking dress like an overstuffed sausage. It couldn't have happened to a nicer person ;) ! She was one of those bitches who not only talked shit about others, but she beat people up all the time back then. It fucking rocked!!!

Let's just HOPE there's nobody here in high school.
We don't need to get shut down. :(

I've met dancers who started dancing during their senior year in high school at age 18, so technically it is possible for high schoolers to participate in this forum legally.

You've shown up in my dreams a few times..does that count??

Seriously though...it isnt about "cliques". When you have a large group of people, some are going to get along better then others. Thats it. And if you arent someone who posts a lot, therefore giving people a chance to get to know you...you wont be center of attention. Picture SW as a big party. The more vocal,social people will be in the center(prob near the bar!LOL) talking,dancing and being chummy, while groups of 3 and 4 will form around them talking amongst themselves...and a few will be more quiet sitting up against the wall in the dark.

If you sit against the wall...dont be pissed that nobody is dancing with you.

Actually there has been a high schooler on this forum. It has been a while back and whoever she was didn't stay. I remember her post saying something like when I graduate high school and I just turned 18. I can't remember much else.

The cliquey-ness doesn't bother me as much as people who follow each other around piling on with insults and such. That really bothers me and I can count on the same people to do it all the time regardless of the poster/topic. There is a mod who is very very guilty of this and I think she should be held to a higher standard but I don't make the rules so....

For me the "clique" is more like some all-powerful secret society on SW that everyone knows exists but nobody knows who is a member...maybe we are just paranoid?

Maybe everyone is making a mountain out of a mole hill. Maybe people are giving too much thought about something they can't control.

No offense to you TM but maybe if we stopped sweeping these issues under the rug these kinds of topics would stop popping up. Obviously there are still problems and I think only a few members (and mod(s)) are to blame.

Not offense taken but then do you have a solution? The only way a thread like this can be helpful or productive is if people want to present some solutions instead of complaining the whole way through.

To me there is no solution because with so many women and men on this site there is bound to be some cliques. As long as people are still enjoying the site and getting what they need from it and contribute then who cares.

I think a step in the right direction would be for the mods to more severely punish that piling on I was talking about earilier as well as having the mods held to a higher posting standard. People are being cruel and purposfully dense and calling it funny and then telling everyone else to lighten up. It seems some members are allowed to get away with a lot more than others and that should stop.

But I'm not whining. I don't come here all the time and I don't post often so I really don't have any vested interest in the site. I'm just giving my (and other's who have PM'ed me) observations. The site has changed for the worse since I've been here, that's for sure.

Unfortunately there are people who cannot act like adults when addressing these issues, so they get nipped in the proverbial bud. We mods only have a handful of options when opinions are being flung like arrows.

just so you know, a lot of people get pointed and don't talk about it. just because someone doesn't actively make a scene and post snide remarks about mods picking on them doesn't mean they haven't been disciplined.

New member signs up, has a question, posts a thread.
Among first responses: This has been discussed many times before. Use the Search function before you post!

New member signs up, uses search function, finds relevant thread and posts in it.
Among first responses: This thread is two years old! Why did you bring it up to the top by posting in it?

New male member joins, starts thread asking whether dancer really likes him.
Among first responses: You're a troll! You're a fool! And you have poor grammar and spelling. Go to the Blue side where they will tell you the same things except for the grammar and spelling, about which they do not care in Blue.

New male member joins, starts thread telling dancers how to dance to please him.

Ahh that bothers me. The bitchiness, but more so the fact when people actually use it and post in the thread, others get furious. Who cares? Are we never, ever supposed to talk about the subject again?

Thanks UtahMike!

Another thing that kind of pisses me off is that people seem rather competitive. I hate it when the following are said REPEATEDLY and in a CONDESCENDING manner:

-"I'm a top earner at my club!!!"
-"I've been dancing X years!!!"
-"I've been a member X long!!!"

It just gets really annoying when it's done repeatedly. I'd point out examples but I don't want to single out anyone. It just bugs me when one dancer on SW tries to show up another.

Hey- I've even been to one of the SW Fests and I'm not in any clique here. (Though I wasn't exactly the friendliest as at the time I had a family member in the hospital and am still not sure why I still went- was fun though!)

I didn't bother to read the whole thread- but does it really matter if there are cliques here? If you're getting something out of the site then great! If you have something to contribute then post! If neither- get off the site.

Why DO they always have poor grammar and spelling?

And, BTW, NO ONE likes to have strangers with no experience working in the industry tell them how to do their job.

Women will always form cliques within large groups. It's how we operate. SW is not unique.

I never said that such a post should be tolerated. Just what the usual response to it was. As a male member, I am pretty tired of "Am I really her boyfriend" and "Here's how to dance." Every time I see one come up again, I cringe.

I don't think I'm likely to sit down and give the dancers at the club constructive criticism. I'm there to enjoy myself, not to instruct in the finer points of dancing. Of course, if you gave me a survey to fill out, and that got me entered in a sweepstakes drawing for a free dance or something -- nah, I don't think I'd do that, either.

QFT. I could do without hearing any of the aforementioned statements. In the context of most threads, they are irrelevant, and serve no other purpose than to put oneself on a pedestal.
