Regional Forums Going down hill fast!!

[Kez/JWolf 6]

I think it is so sad to see the place where I and so many other have got real help with our immigration journey's go downhill so fast.... it would appear that a few people are hell bend on behaving so badly in a regional forum that it is starting to spill over to all areas of VJ.... even if you try to not get involved it just continues anyway.... they move from post to post... when one dies down they just start a fresh one....

I just dont want to watch their behaviour destroy this wonderful place.... I and many other have got involved in descusions we later regret but do know I dont want VJ to become a place where I would rather not be anymore.....

DO WE JUST STAND BY AND WATCH AND DO NOTHING?

Kezzie thanks for speaking up... I also agree...

One of the many reasons why I rarely respond or post anymore...

I dont come here to VJ to have religous our political beliefs being preached to me... thank you .. I value my own opinion.. so.. in turn I keep mum

Changed title to be more specific. Also, while I have been relatively lax on restricting people from posting for mild offenses there are a few members who are starting to take away the enjoyment of certain topics more and more recently. I am considering stiffer suspensions if it continues.

Thank you Captain Ewok.... it would apear that the underlying attitude is being effected by some peoples behaviour and that is having a nock on effect in other areas...

I stopped posting in MENA a while ago and the flame war continues without me. LOL. I thought I was helping by stepping away *sigh*

I also have tried 'stepping away' from the antics of the MENA forum. It hurts to see the people you have respected and supported resorting to name-calling. VJ has always been a place of caring and help. I want it to be that way again. Come on Captain, help us old-timers so we can continue to offer support and advice to those that are still on their immigration journey.

When I joined here in 2003, there were no regional forums. We were one big happy family. The only disagreements were between K1's and K3's and who's petition was more important. Also up for debate was why the Vermont people went thru faster than the Nebraska people.

VJ needs help.

Which was a silly argument to begin with, since everyone knows that K1's are.

Good to see some things never change!

I don't pay much attention but is it the ME/NA members themselves that are causing the problems or others? That answer might help with figuring out a possible solution.

I think the answer is yes, don't be so quick to tell someone how wrong (s)he is, but it's also to not read hidden messages and take insult when someone is stating an opinion.
