Ok you all, I'm trying really hard to let some of these threads go so you all can speak your mind. The problem is that some of the posts are getting really nasty. Let's be reasonable ok? I'm getting a lot of emails begging me to make this "must register" board. (Like Pro X) I don't want to do that but it's leaning that way.
Remember, it's not the initial mean post that fires things up. It's the replys. Like my mom says....."Consider the source".
I like the fact that you don't have to register. And that's the reason a lot of people come on this message board. Besides I'm always making a new registered name because I always forget my password :) luckily here I don't need a password.
THIS STUFF IS FOR FUN- WHO CARES WHAT PEOPLE SAY- THE MEANER THE REPLY THE BETTER- IT GETS PEOPLE FIRED UP- LOOK AT THE TWISTER REPLIES (SORRY JUST USING THEM AS AN EXAMPLE) IT'S ALL GOOD-
I think for a lot of us if we have to register, we'll go to whatisprox.com. There you can get more opinions, not just those based mainly in California.
If this board stays the way it is (I'm intelligent enough to weed out any non-constructive negativity), I'll continue to visit, because I enjoy it.
But if you had to register, why not just go to the other? What's the advantage of using this message board over that one? Not being negative, just wondering. I would still visit this site to find out what cheergyms is up to, don't get me wrong. But for posting stuff, you get many more responses on the other because you have folks from all over the country posting (which you also have here, but not nearly as many). The advantage here is that it is very easy to reply, and nobody will tie your response to one user name (which some of you will say is a major disadvantage). But it's what I prefer, and I don't think I'm alone (looking at the voting results).
I do not like to register...simply because wat if I do not wnat to leave my name, what is I want to be Susie Spirit one day and Pouty Pauline the next?
Something has to be done about the negative posts concerning the so cal teams. It appears that a few are consistently making sure one of those teams are being bashed, even if the topic has nothing to do with any of those teams. If it isn't registering to post, what is the answer? If the moderator closes topics he gets bashed, if he does nothing, he gets bashed.
Is there anyway to track an IP and block those people from posting? I really think it is just 2-3 people that are stirring things up, just because they can.
Please, someone come up with a solution because I am tired of it. And if you don't want to register on this board, then fine. Go to ProX and let us get back to some sane topics and conversations.
I suggest not responding, but who knows, maybe the person writing the original bash is also the one responding as a different person, just to keep things fun and games for themselves and to see how much traffic they can get on their negative posts.
What does regestrating have to do with anything??? Pro x does it and you still don't know who is posting what. A lot of people don't use their names. I have two names on their one for my team and one for me not being known.
We won't ever get rid of the negative people. We see them on here, in the gym, on the mat, at the competitions, EVERYWHERE. Making them "make up" a fake name won't make them go anywhere either. They will still come.
I am not one of the negative people and I would consider making a fake name myself in order to keep my anonymity. I like it this way. I just take everyones post and learn from it as opposed to get angry from it. I have to remind myself that the written word is hardly ever spoken as you read it.
OK, INCASE YOU DIDNT ALREADY KNOW...............WHO AM I KIDDING, EVERYONE KNOWS..........I WRITE IN ALL CAPS..........SO WHOEVER POSTED BEFORE ME IN ALL CAPS.........WASNT ME, YOU SHOULD FIND YOUR OWN SIGNITURE HINT........K!
I DO AGREE WITH YOU THOUGH.......EVEN IF WE DO HAVE TO REGISTER, I'LL STILL SPEAK MY MIND AND LAY IT OUT STRAIGHT, HOW IT IS........THEN IT WILL JUST CREATE A PERSONAL HATRED BETWEEN PEOPLE, INSTEAD OF IT JUST BEING AN ANONYMOUS POST.........THAT COULD BE GOOD TOO!!! TO SEE THE MOMS GETTING INTO IT @ THE LOBBY OF OUR GYMS!!!!!!!!!!!!....SOUNDS LIKE MORE DRAMA TO ME!!!
WHY DOES IT SCARE YOU SO BADLY THAT PEOPLE GET A LITTLE CONFRONTATIONAL ANYWAYS........THE TRUTH WILL EVENTUALLY REVEAL ITS SELF, IT ALWAYS DOES, UNLESS YOUR DEALING WITH "PERFECT PEOPLE" THAT BIND THEMSELVES OF EVERYTHING, BUT OF COURSE CHEERGYMS DOES'N HAVE ANY OF THOSE!.........
WITH OUT THIS WEBSITE, BY THE TIME YOU FINALLY HEARD ABOUT THE MANY PROBLEMS, IT WILL BE BLOWN UP 10 TIMES WORSE BECAUSE IT WILL HAVE BEEN LOCKED UP INSIDE FOR THAT MUCH LONGER...........OH AND I CAN GUARANTEE YOU GUYS WILL GET TWICE AS MUCH OF THIS JUNK IN YOUR E-MAIL IF YOU MAKE IT A REGISTERED MESSAGE BOARD....
IT FUNNY HOW YOU SAY ITS GETTING TO NASTY ON HERE, YET EVERYONE KNOWS YOU SHIELD US FROM THE WORST OF THE POST'S ANYWAYS BY ERASING THEM ALL...........IM SURE WE'VE ALL HAD @ LEAST ONE OF OUR COMMENTS ERASED BEFORE ANYONE ELSE COULD SHARE THERE OPINION!!!!!!
AND NOW THAT YOU GUYS KNOW HOW MEAN I REALLY AM, YOU CAN ERASE THIS ONE TOO..............IT MIGHT CAUSE A LITTLE TOO MUCH CHEERLEADING CONTROVERSY!!!!!!!!! HA HA HA HA HA....
I've never had my post erased but I've had a mean one towards me erased once. But then again, I don't fight with everyone and SCREAM AT THEM EACH TIME I POST AS IF I WAS WORRIED THAT NO ONE WOULD LISTEN TO ME.
It honestly won't make a difference with the registering, people will just start using fake names anyway. The only issue that I would have with it, is the fact that it would be incredibly annoying to have to sign in and remember yet ANOTHER password. I like being able to just come straight on and reply without worrying about signing in. People always find ways around things, so wheather you have to be registered or not, things will be just as nasty.
It's true. No matter what you do you can't stop the negativity. Just deal with it. Learn from it. If someone is saying your gym sucks then learn from it. Go to your gym and make a name for yourself. Come out this season with a bang and prove those people wrong. Don't just come on here and pout and fight about it. Let them think what they want. Someone tells me I have a mediocore tumbling pass. I'm going to go home and think of a new pass to do and you better bet it's going to catch that persons eye. I think criticism is a must. Can you imagine everyone saying yes you're the best, awsome performance, flawless routine loved it. God I would shoot myself. I look for the people who say well they could of done better on this. I take that in go back to my gym and work to make what they didn't like better.
