Just venting

But the two drawsbacks I see are that the majority of readers cannot learn from reading PMs because only two people see them and we need larger PM boxes.

Another drawback is that bad advice may be given and no one is there to correct it.

Agree!

and someone may be able to add to good advice that has been given.

I joined VisaJourney about a year ago and I am very thankful to VJ because it helped us very much with my visa journey.

The reason I am posting this, it is because I just want to express how I feel about those VJers that all they’ve been doing are making fun, posting replies that irrelevant to the original posts, or giving insensitive comments to the OP or those who replied. I can say that Philippine forum in particular is not as good as before. I am very disappointed because it has been going on like this almost everyday already. I myself, is very discouraged to posts my queries anymore because I know someone will make fun out of it too regardless of the topic. I just wish that this will be stopped. I wish that if someone posts something that will be useful to those who are new in this journey , no one will ruin the discussion.

To those who understand me, thank you but to those who will not agree…well, good luck and God bless. Peace again.

Yes and a lot of these people want to come to the USA where we speak english but in this forum some choose to speak another language. Im sure they are talking bad about my posts or maybe that is just my interpretation of what they are writing.

Parece que quiere decir que español es muy fácil. Yo también, no sé hablar tagalog bien.

The main concern was not just about not wanting to read these nonsense comment, replies or posts. It is about making VJ, Philippine Forum a place where people can actually find answers regarding visa related issues or someone can ask questions or even share some sensible thoughts and ideas. If making funny replies made some people's day "better" then I suggest that VisaJourney should make another forum where obnoxious people can gather.

Upon reading replies on this post, I conclude that some people still didn't get the OP's concern or maybe they're just really bored with their lives.

Yup, there oughta be another forum for disgusting and loathsome people like you and the topic starter. People who don't possess a single ounce of pragmatism in their system. The reality here is that some of the posts are too mundane and boring and they require a little spicy injection. So, go get a life, grandma!

Easy my friend....and oh, I don't mind being called grandma. Loathsome and disgusting? Wow!!! Take it easy..it is not worth being mad over a simple opinion. I admit obnoxious was to harsh but you know what I meant.

One of those times.... Thinking it, thinking it, thinking it.... Not saying it, not saying it, not saying it....

Let's keep it civil people....We will not always agree on every point, but the conversation should remain civil, without insults....

Regards,

VJ Moderation.

What is happening now to this post is the perfect example of what I was trying to say.

This is a serious thread raising some very real concerns. The moderators agree that there are many individuals who forget that the purpose of this forum is to help one another during our own visa journeys. Reading posts like one above that said some threads are boring and need spicing up really concerns me. As I have said innumerable times, if you have nothing useful to add to a thread, then don't post - move on. There is room in Off Topic for those who want things 'spicier' but the immigration forums is not the proper venue for someone to try and 'spice' things up. If that is your purpose for being here, you are in the wrong place.

The moderators don't 'patrol' the forums - we respond to reports from VJ members - so we may not know when something is going awry in a thread. Please, those of you who have concerns about what is happening in the forums - if you see insulting behaviour, someone making fun of another's sadness or tragedy, taunting newcomers because they don't know the immigration system, personal attacks, racially inappropriate comments or other inappropriate behaviour, use the Report button at the left hand side of the page and let us know. If we don't know it is happening, we can't step in and do something to correct it.

So, thank you to the OP for raising this valuable issue and I am now re-opening this thread. Those of you who don't want to be a responsible member of this community can go and 'play' in the Off Topic forum instead.

There are so many people who got bored and wanted to spice up their life at the expense of their fellow VJ members.

As Kathryn mentioned, let's start hitting the REPORT button, the one on the left bottom side of each post.

There is a place where people gather and call each other all kinds of names and tell them how stupid they are its "OFF TOPIC". If you go there you better put on your armor and take you emotions of your shoulders. It's scary over there
