Recent Tone


Recommended Posts

I don't know guys, it must be the heat...

 

I know this happens in the best of families, but the tone seems to have taken a nasty, personal turn recently. We can't have this. As a forum, MyGolfSpy and its members are better than this.

 

Name calling, disrespectful posts, condescending tone and "tattling" to the mods needs to stop. C'mon guys, this isn't Middle School and we're not a bunch of 13 year old girls. We can disagree and have spirited conversations, but let's do it like adults, shall we? We get enough of this nonsense out there in what's known as the 'real world.' We come here to get away from that and talk about the thing that unites us all, and that's golf.

 

Let's remember why we come here. We don't have to like one another, but we do have to respect one another.

 

And seriously, I'm tired of writing up warnings like a Hall Monitor.

You shouldn't have to write warnings at all. Let's just put it out there... if you f**k up and get out of line, just own up like a man. Say your apologies and lets just get on with it. It should be that simple/easy.

 

Everyone f**ks up at some point. Man up, and own your s**t. I don't even want to get into "running to the mods" like a little b**ch. Handle it like a man.

 

Jumping off my soap box.... never to be heard from again on this topic.

You beat me to it John, I was just coming in to write this exact post.

 

I already have 2 small children at home and deal with tattling and fighting all day long.  I don't need to have it spill over to the forums as well.

 

We've been on a pretty good run until recently.  I really don't know why these past few weeks have been such a problem but it needs to end now.  This is MGS, we don't need the internet tough guys around here.  Let's get back to being respectful and having conversations instead of name calling and tattling like 1st graders.

I honestly can't believe adults actually tattled to you guys. Wow.

 

It is a shame you guys had to write these. In general, this place has done a great job at self-policing, but the summer (testing opportunities?) has brought new blood that apparently feels like they have something to prove? I have no doubt it will shake out in time.

🤚🏻 guilty. Sorry everyone, I love it here and I got mixed up trying to defend something that I don't even remember the argument was.

 

This place is truly my place to hang my hat, no one I know plays golf so you all are my post round 19th hole hang out. And sometimes you probably get a little more than you bargained for.

 

Anyways, if I offended anyone I sincerely apologize.

 

Cheers!

But but dad I don't wanna stop!

Sorry can't help myself but be a smarta$$.

 

It's not hard to avoid heck I could make a career out of drama. I understand we're all adults and sometimes especially here on the internet being an adult it hard but come on the mods don't need to say this. People have been warned a few times, I've seen it, but the question is why can we not have discussions without getting butt hurt? Is it because everyone gets offended so easily or is it because its easier to b!tch and complain than just ignore it?

I'd like to see more people walk away from their keyboards when they get mad or feel and tantrum coming it'll make the mods job easier and I'm sure this is the last thing they want to deal with.

I value and respect diverse opinions, however the tone must be respectful and that's where some posters have gone a bit crazy.

 

It's a shame but because of the negative tone I don't read some members posts and am probably missing out on good info.

Disappointing that this needed to be said, but some people really do need to work out the difference between opinion and opinionated.

 

We're all entitled to an opinion, but how you go about communicating it needs a bit of work for some members.

Life is tough, sometimes people fall into small ruts and can't help venting. I get it, been there on both sides.

 

Look at the community as a whole, we police ourselves and maintain decorum.

 

Thanks for being the good and positive influence that dissuades me from burying my head into the negative abyss of Facebook.

I'd also use this post to remind folks about the 'ignore' option on this forum. If you just can't agree or want to yell at someone, remember this. You can just choose to ignore them and it'll make your life, and the life of the mods and the rest of us, much better than going in on squabbling matches.

Either!

 

Also the PM can be handy - if I have a truly big issue with someone or think that we are talking past one another I have tried the PM route with great success. I've also received PMs from others who were concerned about me - not recently - but in the past. I've always appreciated it.

 

Just remember that the PM is not an excuse to take it outside and dial it up - it's the place to try and dial heated conversations back.

 

Sorry for any part I may have played in this - I've noticed it ratcheting up and while I believe I've remained civil I may have gone a post too far in a couple of threads.

It certainly seems like it's only been recent too. Like folks have said, I come here to visit, share, learn, even debate, but for my 7-8 years, it's always been very civil and good natured. It's an escape for me, and I truly feel like I have many good “friends” on here! Support from a rant, even the time folks took to share their sympathy when I posted about our dog dying was truly amazing. Examples of truly CARING about our fellow “man”. Hopefully things shall return to how they were.

I can't thank y'all enough for even pointing it out.

I use the "ignore" feature a lot, meaning I screen what I read by avatars. When I see certain avatars, I just completely ignore the post and move on to someone else's. If a certain person or two posted to me directly or quoted me, I'd never even know it. Life's too short to have squirting contests with skunks.

Fortunately it was a very small minority of posts, by an even smaller segment of the forum.  But yet enough that it needed to be nipped in the bud.   What you've been reading is the norm for the site.  Glad your enjoying it and thanks for being part of a good thing!

I have found that it is easy in social media to be worse person than you really are, and difficult to be a better person.

 

Overall, I have observed that MGS is the best, most friendly atmosphere for people sharing ideas and opinions on all of the social media sites that I have visited.
