What's Happening?

FranElizabeth
By FranElizabeth

For the record: I'm pretty pissed off that this site has lost some valued members. I do not pretend to be flawless.. I need to rant if some'one' attacks my beliefs. And I stand by that.

It is a site where we can discuss things in an open forum.. and I really believe that the Mods do an excellent job in maintaining that. I am not without fault and I'm no pretending to be so.

Qatar is a difficult place to live. I'm supposing this to be the case for the 'Locals' also.. afterall, they have to adapt to us.. and we are a massive multicultural influx.

Can we PLEASE try to keep discussions on this site on a level whereby we would be pleased that people wanting to come here would read them? Come on folks... I'm pointing the finger a myself too, but this is not a pub brawl arena... keep that out. It's hard not to react.. but we're supposedly intelligent people.

I respect the long timers on here.. and I respect the Mods.. and I'm not sucking up.. I'm just asking everyone to Step Up. Flog me if you want.. nothing to lose now.

I'm sorry to say this but I've sort of come to expect this.

I come to QL, sometimes see a thread or two that makes me feel 'aw there's nice people', and then the 99% of the other threads make me feel like the site is a garbage fest with people either attacking each other, saying something useless or being sarcastic.

But then we allow certain QLers to proudly announce them as hijackers and love to get carried away with them, don't we... now, once allowed to do that then who will behave in what way becomes difficult to control....

Do we want the threads to run at ones likes and dislikes???... I dont think so.

Mj i havent been following QL since the Eid holidays and since i got back to work been busy with other stuff but keep looking in from time to time so i have no idea which are these innocent ones you are talking about :P

But even before the eid holidays i have noticed some newbies who continue to have their own conversations with each other in the middle of a thread and mods dont seem to delete it. Also they open really retard topics which force me to wonder if they are "working adults" or children sitting at home bored.

Olive, please note that i do NOT read these threads but they are just THERE when i open QL. I do practice what i preach when i say i do not waste my time posting into topics that do not interest me. Its not only MY PROBLEM but i'm speaking for myself and i'm sure there are lots of other people here that feel the same way.

Why must a site designed for something else be used for unrelated materials that cause nothing but problems and fights?

I dont understand why the posts, comments or anything which you dont like of a troll should be so much of a bother....u dont like it dont get into it... I dont think there is any compulsion to comment on each and every thread....

Lots of you have said above that there are no meaningful discussions of late... are you all waiting for someone to come up with something of relevance for you to comment/discuss...if you think something worthy needs to be discussed why not post it..I dont think trolls stop you from posting...

Moreover I have observed that even the people who consider themselves in the category of being on QL for long time do try to feed the trolls by participating on their posts and when the things turn nasty they start calling for mods attention or start fuming...

Now this being an open forum, anyone and everyone with his likes, dislikes, attitudes, IQ's is free to post and gets its audience too... if one thinks these are not worthy of participating just refrain your fingers from typing out something...

Also it is not only the so called newbies who behave nasty...we all are privy to posts of certain old timers who are equally nasty and just love to instigate others either directly or indirectly...

The long time QL members need also to watch their steps....just for example right on this thread see the reaction for the same meaning statement of Phoenix2009 and Smoke: Compare the reaction by DaRude for Phoenix and UKEngg for Smoke...Phoenix was snubbed and Smoke was appreciated...

Many ideas seem to have been thrown on a few threads since last couple of days for controlling the newbies on QL... I just feel that u all are taking QL as a livelihood, just too seriously... dont treat this virtual forum as a classroom... guys old and new, chill down and enjoy the ride to your liking...

I cant relate your type of fun with a "online forum" if painting is your thing then u should be painting something somewhere else. You come to QL to get information on whats happening in Qatar, where to go to get what done. Prices on commodities, which store is having what sale, breaking news about QATAR, which club is better to visit, which gym is better this is what i call INFORMATION.

Who said what in the Quran, why am i a Hindu,which countrymen use coconut oil, my god is better than your god, why did my bf dump me, why is my husband cheating on me is NOT INFORMATION useful to someone like me.

I hope my point of view is clear to you now.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU DIDNT UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN WITH "FUN"

Actually NO this is not a place for fun...when u call this a place for fun thats when things start to go down hill with all the stupid posts coz everyone thinks they are here for fun.

I'm very much around, but dont see anything worth replying. The problem is simple actually and has been discussed a number of times before.

1. Long time members of QL, who have met one another off the website tend to think they OWN the site now and come with an attitude that they are superior to the new members.

2. How difficult is it for everyone to just post on topics they feel they should contribute their two cents to? If you see a topic on religion that u dont agree on dont post there, if everyone did this even the posters will get tired of posting their crap due to lack of responses.

3. You people just want to collect points i feel and end up posting on topics that make no sense, feed the trolls, and the most stupid of stupid threads go to over 3 pages of utter nonsense!

I'm sick of all the "REMOVED BY MOD" signs i keep seeing...a simple solution of this would be to make a new category on QL called the "Sandpit" where the mods just need to move repeated jokes, useless topics that are posted for fun etc and at the end of the month just delete ALL that's posted under the "sandpit" section.

Remove this stupid Q&A section thats just messing up the site with people posting utter shit questions and members reply to them with more shit!

Newbies need a probation period, if mods find them misbehaving or posting useless topics they should be banned completely.

There should also be limited access to certain sections of this website where only members for over certain period of time with certain no. of points are allowed to enter. This helps in separating the trolls from the genuine members that want to help or have a meaningful discussion.

These are just some things i can think of for now..too much use of brain for one thread :p

Fran.... thanks for bringing this up to the attention...I have noticed recently many threads are not worth reading / informative and do not make a platform for wise discussions whereby members can express thier views and opinions and respect each other and quite often the purpose of this site is undermined.

Personal attacks by targeting a member or engaging in severe altercation and subsequent use of discourteous language is not a positive sign of healthy open forum.

Suggest that all QL members express their own views openly.... no bashing and respect others...

Hey "oldies", will you stop being arrogant and acting as if you own QL??? blaming your lack of new and interesting ideas on newbies??

you've squeezed your minds earning thousands of points on QL until you reached a point where you just start wining of boredom and transferring QL threads to private chatting rooms talking to each others about nonsense.

Yes there are new people, good and bad, open and close minded, who can and who cannot speak english, with deep or shallow ideas and I'm one of them, and there will always be, I've been on "Reading Mode" for more than one year now, and i always enjoyed reading threads but never liked to register, and now, when i registered and started posting, you made me feel like a total stranger to this site.

Instead of wining and discriminating against newbies, why don't you try to share your ideas with them and make them feel welcome.

Who says that QL should be for "LIKEMINDED"????????????????, why don't you likeminded

all go and find yourselves another forum and live there happily ever after?

I'm really disappointed with the oldies on QL, I've always admired your opinions but it seems you're running out of gas and now just blaming it on others.

Staying or leaving, nobody cares, stop saying it, just DO IT.

unfortunately some of the trolls ARE members and have been for years...they just come back on as someone else when they are feeling like stirring up trouble. Plus some of them have been up to 35 or more different personalities, sometimes even responding on their own posts as someone else who agrees with them!! Its quite bizarre....Makes you wonder how many personalities are in their head talking at the same time...

I am here...on and off...mostly off line.

Have been having issues with jet lag and a cold this past week, and for the past three months my dog has been seriously ill. He lost the fight for life last Monday, so am dealing with that huge loss.

Other than that...got mentally tired of all the BS on here with the bashings, both religious and personal. QL is STILL a good place to come and read for entertainment and information...but you have to be in the mood to hit the OFF button more frequently than not, due to the mental midgets and their narrow minded views that they are the only ones who are right, regardless of what the topic is and if you disagree with them, they attack you. DISCUSSION isn't a word in their vocabulary.

I have missed most of you all in here...and the timings of the public gatherings have been when I am usually out of Qatar. So....hopefully, I will return renewed and refreshed when my brain arrives next week...

Drac...I've missed you too, buddy!! Found any new fluffy white dogs lately???

ignore the trolls and not to respond to their comments.

Once you respond then they have already won and got what they wanted - to create chaos and divert the thread.

There have been a lot of troll activity these past few months not only in the Main Forum but in the Groups pages as well.

It is best to ignore and not respond. Also, to Think before you post.

FranEliz.. Thanks for highlighting the issue. I remember you joining QL a few years ago and wanting help with some access baggage from Manchester.. Yep Time flies.

They have a been a variety of people that have come and gone over the years. Like some of the other members I also have been on Read only mode.

But now since this site is loosing it's touch I think it is time that old timers took a step ahead rather than back and re-own this site for worthly discussions and comments, and don't let this army of unwanted and annoying trolls take over some thing unique as Qatar Living.

I have spent time in other GCC countries and I can assure that there is nothing like QL any where else in the Gulf.

Long Live QL its long time serving and valued memebrs..

I better stop otherwise will have tears in my eyes.

in return,the site will give them an access code,just one,so they could not be multiple users.

hi drac... hmmm... hope that's her point...

i think people nowadays are becoming more strange and crazy, due to boredome, crisis like swineflu, calamities and worldwide financial crisis...

so they tend use QL as outlet to ease and loose their boredome, worries, or anger, thru QLing which maybe the reason why these 'things are happening'...lol

But instead of leaving, why not make an exclusive forum only for members, this way you can still enjoy the intellectual banter with like minded people and have 100% control over who joins. Isn't that doable on QL?

You may even have the freedom of discussing anything you want without censorship.

I think Qatari must reconsider QL membership policy by granting memberships only to members with an official email (e.g:@qatar.com.qa). Many Local Public forums applies that, This way they have better control over posters.

I hate to admit that QL is not the same anymore.Maybe MODS must have more involvement in deleting/blocking over-controversial posts by trolls in issues that been discussed many times already

I don't always agree with their decisions but I never noticed anything being racially motivated.

And I am assuming by your profile you are one of our new/returning members who have been banned numerous times so maybe that explains your statement. :-)

Drac- They made me want to come out here, for goodness sakes.. soo spot on. Just wish people would pack in with the trivial bull and just.. stop making QL stressful. Fecssake

Gypsy going, and DaRude on Reader mode.. what's the point? You just get wound up by kids and start decending to their level.. I liked this site first by the fact that it made me step up a gear. Alexa, Da, Britexpat, Dweller, Gypsy, YOU threateneing to eat my new flesh...

Bottom line is that we all come here to get the news and to hear from likeminded people and to relax.

Chances are that I wouldn't have come to Qatar at all if it hadn't been for the welcome and support I got on this site- and if that amkes me a sad weirdo, so be it.

it is good thin you brought this up- thank you. Do your best in improving the situation and I shall help in anyway I can.

Unfortunately it is very hard to do so. There are people who are very rude and discriminating. There are people who are not courteous. There are people who love to tease people and find it fun!

the way i deal with it is like this: each person develops a reputation based on his discussions & participation which people will consider- rely on this.

Best thing with unworthy opinions is to ignore.

Some people click on thoughts (even if they differ in opinion) so nothing bad about it.

I hope this helps!
