I don't really have any hope that this forum will ever improve.
Neither do I, which is a shame because PF has the potential to be so much better if the existing rules were actually enforced to some degree. I think people here have become so blind to the racism, misogyny and general abuse, that they just see it as normal and acceptable when very clearly it isn't ( except to those trolls dishing it out of course, and those people have little to no interest in Poland ).
With the return of old members and the suspension of certain other posters, PF has actually become quite pleasant and the number of threads actually pertaining to Poland has increased :)
I just wish admin would actually listen to complaints and see the bigger picture of how things could be, instead of going on the defensive because it's easier to do that than address the the actual issues that members have. It is far from being just me who is complaining, and there is a noticeable lack of abuse, trolling and general nastiness when certain members are suspended.
Nice to see you back Paulina, if only for a while lol :) :)
A forum that is worth coming to is where we share opinions so we can debate or argue
Agreed, but you often don't share opinions or debate, you shout people down time after time, and when they don't agree with you, or you have lost the argument, you resort to insults or pulling people up on their grammar and use of the English language. I don't mind debating with people who don't share my opinions, but I draw the line at having to put up with personal abuse, such as being called a vindicative skank or a stupid wh*re, two of the last insults I got for sharing my opinion. Since when did this become acceptable? And let me guess, the reply will be that I am a snowflake, because PF is so riddled with this type of abuse that some members wonder why I am even complaining.
How to make this an excellent forum? Get rid of the trolls and posters who aren't here to discuss Poland, don't allow guests to have multiple accounts so they can come back when they're banned, and have consistent moderation. It doesn't have to be like school, but it could be much better than it is.
he's allowed to post here again and again.
Is there no such thing as a permanent ban on this forum?
He can't be banned becasue he's posting as a guest and has no account now. It would be hard to stop him posting because from what he has written, he's posting in public places such as cafes and using their wifi, so the IP address changes every time and it's not possible to keep blocking one address after the other.
I do agree that his comments should be deleted though.
A permanent ban will only happen if a poster has p!ssed admin off enough ;)
How many times did you "leave" PF in the last years to come back over and over again?
Paulina used to be a regular poster here. Now she comes back once in a blue moon simply because of the often toxic nature of this forum.I wonder how many members PF has lost because of this............
What kind of "value" johnny_reb, Dirk, Rich Mazur and the peado provide to PolishForums, for example?
None whatsoever. Between the lot of them, they are determined to make PF a hate site.
