Problem with that is, though, that there are some adults who are just as troublesome as young teens, and some young teens who are perfectly lovely folks. :/

I say that the only thing that works is to not feed them, avoid them, and/or put them on your ignore list.

After all, most trolls only last, at the most, a few days, and most of them not even -that- long.

I was pondering the possibility of some sort of mood status thing; like on myspace. It would enable the emotionally defective amongst us to tell when each other are being sarcastic, humorous etc; since I've recently come across quite a few confusions. Maybe it could go below or above the avatar?

Edit: And yes, the clock needs changed. Mine says 6:07, when it is in fact 17:52.

This is more of a question than a request: Why can I not access the calendar? Has it been disabled, or do I just need a certain amount of posts before I'm allowed?

How about a subforum for discussing language, lessons in speaking certain languages, stuff like that?

I think it has been disabled, I'm not allowed to access it and I know that I used to be able to

Can you remove some junk posts? I find it weak that it affects me, but it does.

I'm pretty sure (I've been on other vBulletin forums before) if they add anything to this, it has to be a vBulletin feature or something that is compatible with vBulletin so it depends if that is a possible feature. I've never really seen that on any forum, actually, though it might be okay for a profile page thing.

Just the full last page of the 'Jillian' thread in the politics section. It's not that it annoys me because it's named after me; but the thread itself was decent and ayloi is plain bullshit. Besides, it's going to the point of technical harassment.

If nobody says anything there for a while he should stop...the thread has probably been completely ruined by now though.

Another question - Any reason that y.ahoo and h.otmail are still blocked?

Also, today I found that m.ichelle is a censored word as well. Any reason for that?

Can we ban Catch? I'm being dead serious, she's the dumbest human being I've seen on this board (Excluding CCT's girlfriend).

I'm not sure if she is that dumb or just a troll, either way I think that the boards would be better without her

On the boards home page, where it has gothic.net activity/what's going on it would be nice to show what users are online.
Also, displaying sex in the info underneath username/usertitle/status title/avatar (female, male, transgendered, androgynous).

Yea!! I like lauren's thought... When i first joined i thought she was a guy... And i thought jillian was a girl... O.o

Also... It says that the moderator is dirtynap, who the hell is he? Haven't seen him posting around
Oh, what would be nice is putting up a sticky "what goth is"
It would really be great
I know there are threads and all... But a sticky would be much better, being in an obvious place

Wasn't there a sticky before on what goth is?

And I agree about gender, I thought Lethean was a girl until earlier today >.>

What does it matter what someone's gender is? What do you want next, their ethnicity and social security number?

If it's particularly relevant, they'll tell you, I see no reason why the Gnet admins should go to the trouble of coding something else in on the basis of a fact that isn't particularly important.

If you want/need to know, just ask them. Is that so hard? Or, do you want to know their sex prior to initiating a conversation? Why?

How about a forum just for events and gigs? You could then make an RSS feed from the forum and people could subscribe to it to see upcoming events.

This is a good idea, but then again, one could just ask. Also, if one is mistaken for one gender over another, they could just as easily politely correct the person.
