QL has gone mad.

Before i moved to Doha (11 months ago) i used to frequently visit this site to find out little things i needed to know about the country, never asking questions just searching through the topic i was interested in. Back then there were always good threads to read, but now it seems to have become an international cyber boxing arena! people asking questions or posting topics either get attacked for posting a "stupid" question or the thread will be, by the 10th post, turned into a race or religious argument. I have not posted before so fully expect to be told that my opinion is wrong, but thats what it is, an OPINION. Is the heat starting to effect people?

LostInspace, your right. there are threads that are annoying and boring, and there are good and informative one. just go with what you think is good and ignore the the one that you think is trash..

Could you explain how the moderators are to blame for people ruining threads by either agrument or idiotic remarks?

i have to agree with lostinspace. i used to be an avid reader of this site. and yes i do find the thread going off track and getting into a free for all. one tends to lose the original point being discussed leading to sheer frustration.

As long as obscene language is not used, everything under the sun can be discussed in QL family.. If you cross the limits, modDad and modMum raise the red flag..:-)

It is because there is no proper or full time moderation. if there are categories of forums, then why people are following rule? Why they are posting irrelevant stuff in inappropriate category.

There is a need of full time moderators...

Lostinspace, it is like a relationship, we have to compromise, and for me and all of us Ql is a family and there are good times and bad times....

By LostInSpace• 9 Jul 2010 17:16

Im in no doubt that there are many good people on QL, please dont take me the wrong way, but the difference in reading QL today to a year back is quite different.

Lostinspace, there are few qlers who do attack a thread or you can call it hijack it, but overall majority of the qlers are really, supportive, will answer all your questions, will be there in your good and bad times.....

I think, overall QL is really nice place to hangout, but there is room for more improvement.....

And gotta agree with drmana...its the weather for sure! Really I'm starting to feel cuckoo myself going through some posts =(

I'm cool, and this was not intended to sound like frustration, more like an observation.

By soniya• 9 Jul 2010 16:53

lostinspace, just forget it..Every day is a new day..We enjoy QL in this way...

And don't worry, our MODs are there to restrict such perverts or irrelevant threads...

lostinspace, it's not an every time case with QL..Sometimes arguments are beyond any control..So they take revenge by creating other thread..But it's fine with me as long as it's not affecting my profile and my reputation on QL..

By LostInSpace• 9 Jul 2010 16:48

I didnt say it was an everytime case but it has become much more the norm here.

As i said, i only used to look up topics that interested me but, like exildsaint has already proven 3 posts into the thread, is that some people really are just here to annoy and attempt to provoke argument.

LostInSpace, I too have lost my cool many times here but still what has been happening since last few days is really something new. Things have gone from bad to worst.

By LostInSpace• 9 Jul 2010 16:30

I have seen many of your posts and you seem to be one of the level headed individuals on here, so this post was not in any way directed at you. :-).

You are exactly right. Things here are getting weird day by day. Looks like weather has affected everyone.

Really, please please please the concerned people...WTH is happening.
