Halloween - Page 2

But I'm locking it. Regardless of if people read what's in other forums or not. Too bad. If that's an f'ed up attitude, so be it.

The fact of the matter is, we (moderators of ALL forums, AA and otherwise) prefer if every forum is not SPAMMED with the SAME thread.

And honestly, I don't see where the fronting comes into play. If you want A LOT of responses, then post it in a forum that will get a lot of views, not in each and every one.

This one shoulda been locked from the beginning.

(Reds6, this is an example of that last word thing, lol)

I decided to leave it open. Yall can discuss amongst yourselves, here, in the bruhs forum, on DST Blvd, and wherever else the topic may appear.

I just have a question, MidwestDiva... Why is it an f'ed up attitude to visit and post in forums of your choice? I came to GreekChat to meet SORORS. So if I don't visit other forums (not that I don't), why is that an f'ed up attitude? OR did I read you wrong?

MIDWESTDIVA · #18 10-31-2001, 05:18 PM

Choosing to converse with one's sorors ONLY is not an example of having an f'edup attitude. I will give you an EXAMPLE of someone with an f'ed up attitude.

An AKA who will post in this forum, and the forums of other pre-1913 orgs (including DST), but not the post-1913 orgs. You ask, why is this f'ed up? It lends the appearance that she thinks she's too "elite" or too "whatever" to converse with them. And that is some f'ed up shiznit. I asked why this was taking place once in the Greek Life forum. The AKAs didn't respond and the Deltas acted like they didn't know what I was talking about.

Let's keep it real people. Prejudice between pre and post 1913 orgs is alive and well on GC.

CrimsonTide4 · #19 10-31-2001, 05:22 PM

Well for those of you who CAN READ, it says IN ENGLISH on DST BLVD. that multiple threads will be deleted.

Call it an "f'ed up attitude" if you want but it makes NO SENSE whatsoever to have the same thread posted in 9 forums. If I really want to talk about it, I will go to that forum.

For the most part, the frequent flyers on GC, BLACK or not, will post in most if not all of the D9 forums.

If you do not like how we do things. . .

So if I have an "f'ed up attitude" according to you (whoever YOU are) then so be it.

Who are you to say that if an AKA does not post on DST, ZPhiB or SGRho that she is elitist??? Maybe this AKA is not a "talker".

One of the main reason that I post all over this camp is because I am a talker -- plain and simple.

I cannot speak for the AKAs or anyone else but me but I think your hypothesis is false.

MIDWESTDIVA · #21 10-31-2001, 05:29 PM

I CAN READ and am aware that GC moderators do not appreciate multiple threads. To date, I have never posted a multiple thread. I didn't say that the moderators should allow multiple threads to occur. Pay attention. I am saying there is a REASON that multiple threads occur. That reason has been addressed in my previous post.

CrimsonTide4,

You don't have to agree with my hypothesis. The example I gave is just that. An example. This behavior is not limited to the AKAs. I could just as easily use a Delta in the example. The same thing goes for frats. Undoubtedly there is a reason for it. It's too consistent to be coincidental. If you have a reasonable explanation, I'd love to read it.

CrimsonTide4 · #22 10-31-2001, 05:40 PM

NO ONE said that you post multiple threads. You chose to address something that did not concern you.

Fact: What people choose to respond to and where is their business.

I do not care who talks in DST or AKA or SGRho or ZPhiB but you should respect the rules of the forum. People have "preferences" -- let them. I don't give a dang where they post, read or whatever.

FACT: You can go on GC and see where users are. There are AKAs who observe the threads in DST, ZPhiB, or SGRho and vice versa. If they feel so moved to participate in the convo so be it. If not, NO LOVE LOST.

FACT: People talk to the people they are comfortable with/have a rapport with. If the AKAs are more comfortable talking to other AKAs that is their right. It does not make them bad or "elitist". It makes them HUMAN.

I think you were the one with an "f'ed up attitude" to come here baashing how and where people choose to talk. This is the INTERNET, we are FACELESS for the most part.

Bottom line: You want to come here and respond, do so. If not, okay but don't knock what others choose to do.

To the AKAs, I did not mean any disrespect or trying to moderate in your forum. I appreciate the bonds and friendships that I have formed here in your section of GC just as I do the bonds and friendships in my own backyard on the BLVD.

MIDWESTDIVA · #23 10-31-2001, 05:54 PM

You seem to be taking my comments personally. I wonder why.......

You are certainly entitled to have an opinion about me. All is fair on GC.

I already said that there is nothing wrong with wanting to converse amongst members of your own organization, but I guess you missed that. The bottom line is, if the AA people on GC were truly interested in Greek Unity, and felt comfortable conversing with all the other AAs on the board (regardless of affiliation), there would not be any multiple thread posting. There would be no reason for it.

Nothing that is said or done on GC is any of my business, but I choose to comment on it anyway. If people only commented on things that were "their business" there wouldn't be much posting going on.

Don't hate on me, I'm just calling it like I see it.

Moving along

.............

If you want to name names, please do. I guess I'm a darn proud "elitist"!

Wrong answer Sherlock. People post multiple threads because they act first and then think. They say "oh the moderator said this already existed"... "so let me post it somewhere else". They get all riled up for nothing, when all they have to do is SEARCH FOR THE SAME TOPIC THAT WAS POSTED EARLIER. It's not rocket science.

If a thread is interesting and people have something to add to it THEY WILL DO SO-NO MATTER WHERE IT IS.

It's clear to see that YOU may be the one doing the fronting. Coming up in THIS particular forum and stating your theory. Do YOU have some underlying issues, dislikes, or a f*ed up attitude that YOU need to resolve? If so RELAX, RELATE AND RELEASE, but not in this forum cause we don't want the drama.

So to restate cause I KNOW you missed it:

If I wanted to name names, I would have done so. If you already know that your attitude is f'ed up, that's what really matters.

Thank you for your thoughts Dr. Watson.

Since I enjoy conversing with all of the AAs, I don't think I have an f'ed up attitude.

Really, I don't expect people to be honest and say "You know what Diva, you're right. I only want to converse with people who belong to "elite" organizations." so your responses don't surprise me. Oh well. Remain in denial if you wish.

pretty3grl · #27 10-31-2001, 07:45 PM

Personally, I check all of the forums, however, I do not post if I am not interested in the topic. I also do not post if the question is addressed to members of the organization to which the forum belongs to. I always believed that if I am going to enter into someone's house, I should respect their wishes. If I can't respect them, then I respectfully leave. I saw the Halloween post, but I did not and will not offer a response because it did not interest me (even though it was posted in my OWN house). Never believe that just because members from another Greek letter org. do not POST in a forum that they did not peek in to see the posts that are there. (I saw the post about the Thug Delta jacket on the Delta page, and the Iota poem to members of SGRho on the Iota page, and the discussion about whether anyone besides Deltas should call Omegas "bruh" on the Omega page, etc, etc, but they didn't move me so I didn't respond). I feel that if the intent of the Halloween post was to get the "blood off of the posters hands," then she can be certain that if she posts in one forum, most AA greek chatters will see it and at least be aware of her feelings.

********Ding, ding, ding!!! We have a winner*********

Pretty3grl, thank you!!!! You are absolutely correct. If a forum has a thread I'm interested in replying to, I'll post. Otherwise, what's the point? So people like Midwestdiva can see my name in another forum? Please.

If anyone takes the time to check out other forums, then you will know that we have similar topics to that of DST. I post in the A Phi A forum because Professor and Sphinxpoet just got it goin' on!

They always have something interesting to say. I just recently posted in the Kappa forum because there was a topic of interest to me.

Also, for the record, we are not the only people upset by the multiple posting. If only you could read the Moderator's Corner, you would know better.

Steeltrap · #29 10-31-2001, 08:28 PM

That's good to hear that ALL moderators are intolerant of repeat posts.
Having said that, however, I still see in other forums where the mods, for whatever reason, are either slow to lock or combine or won't do it.
One of many reasons I enjoy the NPHC forums is that the moderators keep things flowing and I don't have to slog through endless repeat posts.
I have a lot of time on my hands, even at work.

novella000 · #30 10-31-2001, 10:44 PM

WOW... well, everything I wanted to say has been said. Thanks to CT4, Ideal, sunnydays96, AKAtude, SteelTrap

...

CodeBlue and I guess you too MidwestDiva,
You know what, I have all of the BGLOs on my Control Panel. I visit GC almost on a daily basis... I visit whoever's forum has new posts. I post where I am interested in the topic. You can check my track record... I am sure you know where my "interest" lies. One could surmise that from the usual locality of my responses.

But you know what? My INTEREST has a minimal affect on where my posts end up. I just don't spend my time on things that don't entertain me... If there aren't any new posts in a forum for UMPTEEN number of days, I probably won't be posting there. But I am sure they aren't missing my company and personal opinions.
