I am sick and tired of people going off in their own little conversations when people post honest blogs in need of help. Majority of them get their questions answered, but others including my self get people who just start up crap. I wish I had the power to delete messages that dont apply to the question of the blog. Im truely sick of it. I think that if you create a question (blog) you should have to power to get rid of unwanted commments that have NOTHING to do with the origianal question. Sorry, but Ive seen it and it's happened to me.

satyrsmind,

So posting inmature and poems has something to do with a response??

And no, If its something that has to do with the question then I DO NOT MIND wheather or not its what I want to hear.

But if its something like 'hey! i havent seen you in a while!!' then yes IT IS SOMEHTING I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR. Private Message ring a bell??

Also inmature has nothing to do with controling someones thoughts. I post something becasue I want someones thoughts on it whether they agree or not.

Inmature is when your an adult and you cant give an adult answer and istead say something that is childish and stupid. Hello!

Oh it happens to me all the time. I posted a topic because I had a general question & the whole point behind me asking the question was to get HONEST responses. The next week when I came back to read the feedback from the question, I was excited to know that there were 56 responses from others. I really thought I was going to get alot of insight on the question I posted. But instead, by the 2nd page, the subject had been switched & people were talking about something almost 100% opposite. Hell, if I wanted to chat I would've entered into a chatroom. It turns out that only 4 people (FOUR!) answered my question, but the rest of the responses contained stuff like this:

Me: What are Turn ons and turn offs, in the eyes of an Aquarian?
One person: We're turned on by muscles & soft music
Person #2: We're turned off by too much affection in the beginning
Person #3: Hey guys, I'm hungry
Person #4: Man, me too. We should all eat Tacos tonight just for the hell of it

And from there, it just got worse

krysrenee7 I hear ya, its annoying as hell. Plus when the subject changes people get in fights as well. Its kinda funny but Ive seen this happen alot. Someone posted a question and about 2 people answerrd, the rest was a huge fight between people.

Yeah it does get annoying, but at the end of the day people are gonna post whatever the hell they want...

just look over the BS and you'll be fine
--------------------------
Well, I think that's what we're all doing now is looking over the BS, but I'll tell ya, eventually it takes away from the fun & validity of the sight. People didn't sign up to have "treetrunk" wars, no they came to this sight for insight into things, hoping WE would be like adults & give them answers. I think it would be an excellent idea if the poster had the power to delete certain posts from their OWN threads & hey, that may seem unfair to everyone (especially the people that always change the subject) but at the end of the day, it shows them that if they want to chat & "treetrunk" each other, they should create their OWN threads & do that instead of imposing on other threads.

Maybe these people would get the point if the poster of the thread always deleted their far-from-the-subject things. If they're responses kept getting erased, eventually THEY'D get tired of re-posting themselves & take it somewhere else. It'd be a WIN-WIN situation

I mean Hey it wasn't ME who started this Thread. As a matter of fact DXP is the one who added the topic of "What can be done better to improve the sight"..DId you hear that? I said DXP not us. All we're doing is responding the way they asked us to. They had a question, we had the answers. And hey, we're all just making suggestions just like any average & normal person would about the same issues alot of people are having with this site. Sure, this site is great, I like it alot but NOTHING is perfect & if the site asks for honest opinions, we'll give them.
