They were talking about the setlist beef. They've made quite a few comments about 'whingers on the messageboard.'

You should have told them to cunt off.
Actually, no. You'd have been infracted.

IGNORE 'EM.
Who cares what your username is, just get stuck in.

[MUSESTL]

Will do, thank you

I don't understand the whole 'Banter is scary' bullshit.

If someone feels nervous about going into Banter, I think that really says a lot more about their somewhat fragile state of mind, as opposed to people in Banter.
I personally have probably posted about 20 posts in Main Muse over my five years on this board. I started posting in Banter first, as opposed to MM, and I was never 'afraid' of it.

Obviously people get ignored. But that's not exclusive to newbies, it happens to nearly everyone. It irritates me when people whine about it like it's a personal insult.

A lot of people don't know that it's a regular thing to get ignored/insulted. So they assume that people don't like them.

Alright, sticky at the top of Banter saying 'WARNING: you may be ignored or have someone harmlessly take the piss out of you. Enter at your own peril'.

Problem solved.

Or warning, people say things to you online they wouldn't dare say to your face.

One users misunderstand what a mod says in another forum so mistakenly create a thread in Banter. Gets a lot of people acting very negative and not one of them bothers to actually report the thread.

It's because it's (wrongly) seen as standard practise and inevitable, plus the people being negative tend to be quite established and respected...


Hope that sentence doesn't cause beef!

This is true, a lot of the most negative people (not just in Banter) seem to be very respected so reporting them might make one a lot enemies

[Clunge]

Reporting is anonymous; only the Mods see it .

If someone's being a knobber, report them, simple as.
