    Default Venting Thread?

    There has been a bunch of drama as of late on these boards. I think maybe we should have a thread where people can get it all out. Just one thread for people to bitch and moan about members, mods the site in general, whatever. That way everything is out in the open and we don't have to have drama popping up in other threads. And if people don't want to be a part of it then they can simply not participate. The same goes for people who are easily "offended" (on a freaking internet forum...). Another forum I am a memeber of has an entire subforum dedicated to this and it works pretty well.

    I'm just tired of being treated like a child and having threads closed and posts deleted becasuse they might offend some people. Who cares? If someone has something to say about me I want to hear it. We're grown-ups right? We can work our problems out by ourselves right? I mean seriously.

    There is no way that such a thread could work without turning into a nasty flame war. This forum is not designed for people who just want to whinge or attack other members - that's just plain rude and not constructive. This is a dancer support site not a who hates who or who pisses who off. That's very high school and immature IMO.

    I think this thread will be closed soon enough anyway as the mods don't want such behaviours encouraged.

    I do agree that some threads are locked that many think shouldn't be but a thread to whinge about members and mods? I think that's going too far.

    I think this thread may be a good idea for non-SW related vents.

    For example: "#@$%$%$ I am so pissed, this marmoset jumped out of nowhere and stole my grilled cheese sandwich! I tried to chase that fucker but I stubbed my toe. Fucking cheese-thieving primates!"

    We had a thread like that when B left. Everyone got to say their what they wanted there and let the SW shit hit the fan. Everyone was heard from the great suggestions to the flames. Really, if you had a problem with a mod, member, or the site pm Stripperweb or Pryce or another mod. We don't mind hearing from you even if it is bitching and moaning.

    I wasn't intending for this hread to be that thread, I was thinking of having it in member boards so it's out of the way of the rest of the forum. Peole can talk out thier problems without shitting up other threads with snarky remarks and such. And I never had my say in the other thread b/c it was closed. I WANT MY SAY DAMMIT!!!! I'm j/k but I still think a thread that serves just that one purpose is a good idea. And if it turns into flaming and what not then so be it. It's ONE thread that people don't have to participate in if they don't want to. Maybe I'm just all about honesty and getting shit out in the open. Why do we have to pretned that this is one big happy family all the time?

    Ooooo, I can vent about how ridiculously hot the Trader Joe's clerk is. I want him to bend me over his register and get freaky with the inexpensive organic produce. I giggle like a 12 year old at the grocery store now. I'm a complete bumbling fool. I haven't seriously flirted with a guy in yeaaars. I don't even know how it works.

    Good idea Luscious, this way those tart-cart ass m'phuckers who think I actually give a shit about them having me on ignore, can really know how the phuck I feel about their bitch asses???

    Is that the spirit of the intended thread??? CUZ WHO GIVES A PHUCK "___", how you feel about what I had in my signature block?

    If Nicolina and Bridgette don't give a shit, who the hell are YOU?????

    Oh no!!! I'm on her ignore list, ......(NOT!!!!) I wish I had an appropriate emoticon to use for how I really feel. Peep my avatar, u can guess....

    eta: and calling someone/group "bitch asses", does not = bitch. Go watch making the Band if you don't know. I'm sick of the "bitch-ass-ness" around some of these parts lately.

    I loved the shit outta my dogs, and will have 2 more to love soon. That doesn't mean I wanna feel like I'm on a SW Kindergarten pet-farm field-trip all the time.

    Yes, exactly. That is exactly what I intended the thread to be about. If no one wants it here I guess I can start a yahoo group for SW Truth or something...

    I agree on using this for non forum related vents.

    but it's a horrid idea for SW venting, which should be done in private, or not at all.

    my vent... I wish I could make stripper money without stripping, or anything illegal.

    Yes non SW vents are great. Didn't we have a thread kinda like that once? Rant thread?

    But I foresee any thread with vents about members or mods, especially if names are named, going down in flames and taking more members with it. I foresee huge amounts of butthurtness and drama.

    In other news, I fucking hate zxcire. She's such a slut.

    Well then I guess I'll just have to take it off the boards then. I want a place to let people know how I feel and I think quite a few others will too.

    There USED to be a "rant" thread over on the Member Boards. I couldn't find it after searching for it ... so I guess someone will just have to start it up over there?

    Yes, it was for random non SW related rants and I thought it worked well.

    Here I started one:

    ^^That's cool but I really wanted a thread for members to discuss thier problems with others members. But I'll just take it off the boards and link to it in my siggy or something.

    Well, Miss L, I for one think it would be a good idea. I mean we're all adults, right? It's like maintaining a happy marriage. If you put your SO on ignore and don't discuss your feelings and don't want to hear his/her point of view, then shit usually blows up at some point (like it has here before). I'll admit, I've only had this screen name for a couple years but I've been on this site since 2004 or so. I don't "remember" as many blow up threads back then, but I think it's because people could agree to disagree and treat each other equally for the most part. Now you can't say anything without truly offending someone. I think that if we open up the adult communication and everyone agrees not to blow their top then it could be constructive.

    That's what I'm trying to say. But it seems like we can't be adults here and we have to play nice with everybody because God forbid someone's feelings get hurt .

    I think the maturity level around here did lower A LOT, so it's better to be modded than have it turn into what some other forums are like-all swearing and screaming. It's not that hard to think, ahh X pisses me off-I'll take it to the PMs. Or ignore it. Thus raising the maturity a TON.

    You want a thread in which you are free to insult other members and discuss how dreadful they are? Sometimes I do too. But I don't think we're going to have that. It's mean and it's unproductive and it creates a fairly oppressive environment; I mean, I understand not wanting to be over moderated - but how would you feel if in this thread you imagine there was a stripperweb pile up on you? Would you really just "leave it in that thread" and go forth and participate in other threads like it wasn't there? If so - you are one of very few people who would do that. Most people would feel intimidated and run off, or pretty fucking upset. A thread like that would just create a gang mentality and absorb the whole purpose of the board. Everyone has seen how one drama thread can completely subsume the actual subject matter here.

    If you feel the need to gossip and shit talk (and I don't criticize, most of us do at some point) you can do it in email and private message; we don't need a thread to see how many people agree with you at any given point in time. That is not "venting"; it is making sure the object your vent sees it and feels bad/hurt/ganged up on for it.

    And I actually think people's feelings here are important.

    Well, of course not. I would go forth and multiply.

    Having been the prime target of some pretty intense stripperweb pile-ups, I usually implore the mod to allow people to speak and not shut down the thread (as TM was kind enough to do in our latest Drama Llama Invitational).

    Sometimes the cathartic value to the community outweighs the psychological well-being of the target. (OK, I'm kidding; I have plenty of kick-ass meds.)

    It's useful to take the temperature now and again, and open a window if the heat gets too intense. The survey was a more valid and representative instrument for that (thank you, Pryce), and much less a harrowing experience for the soul, but the net effect is not always exclusively a damaging one.

    I think the trick is to try to contain them until they run out of steam and make sure the targets' heads are not going to simply explode. Since that's not possible to do if you lack telepathic and possibly telekinetic skills, reasonable moderation really is the only answer. (Here is where we applaud the mods for all their hard work with zero, zippo, nada remuneration).

    I will say, in all honesty, that I had to bite my tongue until it bled to keep from posting what I really wanted to in response to your post. No, wait, I was biting my fingers so they would stop typing. So there still is pressure in the 'ol system. If you are really interested as to what it is, I'll PM it to you.

    HAHA thanks Jenny that's what I'm thinking.

    "We're all adults here and should be able to handle it..." No. That's just bs.

    Adults don't need to have a place to talk shit about other people in public. Adults can realize that they are not going to like everyone they come across in the world and that that's fine and that it doesn't matter. They don't need to make an issue of it.

    If you don't like someone, fine. Ignore, PM, whatever. If you don't like the way things are run, bring it up with a mod.

    A thread in which to single out individual people and issues is not adult, it's actually pretty freakin' high school.

    I cant see this as ever being a good thing... ranting/bitching/moaning/complaining is something for a diary or blog. Not the message boards.
