Well written Ms Twiddle :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
All rooms are available to all members to enter ( except passworded ) and everyone who chats with manners is accepted into them. Cliques are only perceived by people who do not join in, and I have found that anyone and everyone can join in the chat in all the chat rooms and as long as they are courteous and have manners, then they are readily accepted. If you sit back and "lurk" or just say Hi and nothing else and do not make any attempt to join in the conversation then there really is no point in complaining about being left out. Many new members are some of the "best" chatters in the Melbourne room and that is only because they join in and have fun. We have generally ( not always ) found that the only people who complain are the ones who send unsolicited whispers, who can't chat without asking for a fuck, who troll the rooms, who won't read profiles and respect what people are looking for, who send friend requests without ever chatting or meeting and all other things that just annoy members. There really is no clique group because if you are polite and friendly then everyone is allowed in. As TemptedTwo says... If a member is not happy then there is no reason that they can't open up your own room.
Hi Nymph. Those block settings are handy, but i think what Gygaz ( and many others at times ) are saying is that the block we have is really insufficient. We can only block the 3 catagories, single males/females or couples. The thing that is wrong with that is the fact that most of us have friends and others that we like to chat with in each of those catagories. We have many single males that we chat and correspond with and if we block single males then that puts an end to ALL single males. That's also true for any block, so we don't have a blanket block on single males as there are some that we want to receive mail from. I think what Gygaz are suggesting is much better and that is that we can block a particular requirement, meaning if we want then we can block all "single males under 30" or all "straight couples" or anyone over 30, etc etc... This way members can block exactly what they don't want and not just whole section.
I don't know about other sites but Gygaz says it is available on them, so if it is then it should not be too hard to impliment. This site is growing bigger and better by the day and if it is now a paying site then maybe some of the suggestions that members put forward can be looked at favourably. I do know that Admin/Mods look at all our suggestions already.
As for the wanks... well we have them blocked but I have read them and they do not make any sense at all lol.
These forums are always a great read and it is always good to read other members thoughts. We agree with OKandQ that this site is mostly singles and so many of these singles ( not all ) are aggressive and nasty if they get rejected. The answer from the site is always the same "please feel free to tick the box that stops single males from messaging you". The real problem with that is the fact that we all have single males that we do like and that we do want to contact us. A blanket ban on all single males just doesn't work, when it stops those that we do like from making contact.
OK's idea of a box being ticked to say someone has read a profile before sending a message is a good one. To send a message, it is usually done from that persons profile anyway. It can't be hard to put a small box that needs to be ticked saying that you have read that profile. If we are not looking for singles to play, then why should singles be so inconsiderate and contact us saying " I know you are not interested but I thought I would give it a shot anyway". We are saying NO and they are not accepting of that.. therefore they should be banned for not accepting that NO.
Sky, maybe it is not on dating sites, but just about every other thing that you fill out online says "do you accept" and you can only proceed after you have ticked the box. Surely, by ticking the box and then going against what they ticked is reason enough to not want them on the site. There are other sites, I believe, that you can block a person and that block stops them from everything. We would not only not be contacted by them, but we also would never see their part of conversations in chat and they cannot see our cams if they are on. It is a full block for that person.. A great idea we think.
We fully accept chats and forums being closed down when abuse is there, but like OK we have seen things closed with just the reason that it has been done to death. ( I know we don't always get the full story there Sammi lol).
I think it is quite clear that OKandQ do enjoy their time here on the site and they are regulars in chat and the forums and attend many meet n greets. All they are doing is pointing out one problem that the see.. and that same problem is one that the majority of us couples have on here. Having said that, we say again... not all single males are "pests", as some are among our best friends made on this site.
I am not sure if anyone is getting the point here. Sunnyside is a LEGAL nudist beach. Dogging is NOT legal.
That being said, it means that men, women and children can all attend Sunnyside and that it should be safe for them all and no one should feel threatened in anyway. Whether or not you believe children should be there or not is not really up for debate because that fact is that they legally are. What also is not up for debate, is the fact that Dogging is Illegal, as is wanking in public. This beach was opened for nudists to attend and it was put in a secluded location so as not to offend others. I know it's a generalization but once the "single" guys found out about it, they were the ones that became offensive, by exposing themselves and thinking that is was OK to masturbate in public, thus offending most nudists. I am still finding it difficult to understand why guys think that it is OK to pull themselves on a nudist beach but they do not do the same at Elwood or Lorne or any other "normal" beach for that matter. I may not be into Dogging at all but there are many places that it happens that you all can frequent, but it seems that it is all just so easy to go along to a legalised nudist beach to perve and Illegally masturbate.
I know that this site premotes dogging but that does not takeaway the fact that it is still Illegal, so therefore in my mind, IF you want to Dogg or watch then I would suggest that you go off to some other discrete spot and participate, and leave Sunnyside to the people that it was opened for.. the Nudists, (of which I am not). One last point if I may. If there are nudists on the beach and they are "getting it on" in public, then they are no better than any single guy wanking in public. That particular beach and any other nudist beach was opened for families to enjoy, not for sex acts to happen.
Dogging etc may be Illegal but I say have sex, wank, put on a public show and enjoy yourselves, but Sunnyside is not the place.
I see that the first post here is by Admin... Telling us ALL that this is the place "For conversations or rants about anything you like" and yet we see posts being locked because of no valid reason. I am sorry, but If we can't " Rant about anything" then why have this forum. I see posts being rehashed often and yes, it may be a pain in the ass looking forward to a post and seeing that it so similiar to previous ones but I don't believe that that is reason enough to close the post off. If people are being abusive or breaking site rules then fair enough BUT to close them because it has been done before just doesn't seem reason enough for me in a Rant about anything forum. If people don't like the new forum then they will just move on with no comment and the post will disappear anyway, but if people care to comment then they should be allowed.
Just my opinion
Thanks for another great meet n greet Jen. It was good to say hello to old friends it was great to meet new ones. Already looking forward to the next one.
PS... The blue star suited you so well
Hi
In our opinion why have either, when it is so easy to send a message, and unlike other sites it is FREE. People who take the time to send a written message will always receive a better reply than someone who just clicks on a button to send a message. Most people we know just ignore the Wink/Wanks as we think that no thought was given to making contact. Take the few minutes it takes to write a message because that is much more welcome, BUT, read profiles first as messages to people that fall outside what they are looking for rarely gets a response.
Just our thoughts.
I read the forums often and it is great that we are given the opportunity to put our views forward and to comment on threads that are already open. This is an adult site and as such I would hope that we are all mature enough to read and accept each others views, but I see threads being closed down because the Mods think that things have gone to far. In some, there has been no abuse and I think that as adults we should all be able to express our opinions whether they agree with a thread or not.
If people are not abusive, then there doesn't appear to be a legitimate reason for closing the thread down just because our views differ from the Original Poster.
These are just my thoughts and I appreciate that I am able to express them.
Fargo.
