I'm guessing i'm one of these evil 'worst offenders' that have been mentioned so before I head off and have one of these life things I feel i must put my point forward.
Yes, I do do a lot of spamming, yes, I do use a lot of meme's, yes, I probs do get on a lot of people tits but what of it? If i'm not breaking any rules what's the problem? And if I am breaking rules than report my arse and i'll happily take the points.
There is an ignore button and a block button go forth and use it.
I would say i'm going to suddenly stop being me and stop posting the way I do but i'm not, that's me, I post the way I want to post and the way it helps me and in a way it cheers people up.
That's right, when I spam I don't just spam for the hell of spamming, threads in GC actually help me stay sane, without them I would be in a lot worse place than I would be now.

There have been times i've been on the verge of killing myself but the only thing that has stopped me is spamming in GC and having a laugh and all that, so no, I don't do it just to get on peoples nerves etc etc.
Ok, I think i've said what I have to said, take it how you want.
Aimee, I do feel attacked and I'd rather just be a bit quieter than cause a scene. Whether I like it or not, I do not have an input in how RYL is ran, and the people who do don't like the way I post. If I had it my way, Mike could post spam threads, I could troll the say here thread and the uni thread could be about whatever people wanted to talk about, and people who didn't like it just wouldn't read Mike's threads or the uni thread and would just post in say and ignore me. But I don't have it my way, and being the way I am is causing divides so I don't mind changing to make things easier.
If it helps, I also feel bad because I just cannot like and think and join in the way you guys do - I feel like I'm one of the only ones who doesn't appreciate your sense of humour and things. I'm sorry that no one else has bothered to input on anything and it's been you and Lana explaining things, because that's not entirely fair.
I've read through the entire thread and still do not know what QK is, what it means, what it is, why people want it on their signatures and what it does when it's there. and I've been chatting here almost three years and am active on the forum.
Also, when you are lonely and feel like "spamming", how is it different to post in active, existing threads and get replies? I do not understand why people create threads to post a single funny photo or just ask how everyone is (there are MANY threads already about that)... I don't get why people don't post on existing threads when they are lonely and want people to talk to them... :/

Yes, there is an ignore button. But I shouldn't be forced to ignore entire boards. Also you don't need to be so defensive and so... angry, we're having an adult discussion about this and so far it's been very level headed and
mature.
As I've said before, I do not expect you to change your posting habits. I do not run your life or RYL. All I want out of this thread is if you maybe take a look at how you are posting and consider other people's points of views.
I didn't realise most of the people replying here on behalf of the QK were part of it to be honest.
But then my memory fails me a lot.
I guess I don't look at people and wonder what group they are from either, I just think "oh there's username."
I still have no idea who qk'ers are but this thread turned from "constructive comments" about the board,to what has seemingly become lets bitch about groups we (personally)have a problem with.
A lot of you have mentioned hijacking in threads,to me this has turned into that. The last few pages (when.viewed on tapatalk) are people all talking about a group that half the people on ryl don't know exists.
It just looks like a load of teenage bickering from where i am.
You're never all going to agree,same for.the boards,people are never going to agree on how things go,or who's posting most or who's getting most replies.
Last year the ed board had one big clique,in a few months people will be complaining about another.
/rant
You can't stop people making friends with other people,I've made friends with people on another board irl,the difference seems to be that on that board people don't care about there being groups of people who post and reply to each other because any new person is welcomed(or old person)...there is no bitching and rarely any drama.
Must've missed that but I've read the thread and still have no idea. Sounds like some weird organization... why not just be friends? No need to name things... naming things and making them out to be this big secret thing is what makes people feel excluded and bitter I think...

I agree! I wasn't even aware that RYL seems populated with little named groups... it's weird. It's like RYL is divided into provinces.
EDIT: As a disclaimer if I'm coming across as or sounding rude, I am not. I've read 8 pages of thread not knowing what the heck everyone is on about and kind of feel like an utter n00b for being blind/left out of all these things, so naturally I am curious...

Not the entire board but the threads you don't like. I'm not being defensive and angry, i'm actually in a very happy mood right now, Was just trying to get my point across as it was asked for as i'm one of the 'worst offenders'.
I'll take a look at how i'm posting, the past few days i've recived quite a few hate messages regarding this so I must be doing something wrong and I will look at myself.

The name QK arose because (I think) I posted QK on the Uni Student Thread and explained that it was a sideways ninja. Everyone ended up liking the sideways ninja and we soon put it in many of the posts and in messages to each other as a colloquialism. As we grew closer, we just used QK as a kind of name? It wasn't created to be exclusive or bitter, it just happened and new/different people were always welcome. I don't think that QK should be needing to be so defensive when people are saying that they want to talk about general groups on RYL. We aren't dividing RYL into 'provinces', there's no need to be sarcastic, we just enjoyed the little QK and ended up using it a lot. That's how it happened, from what I am aware.
I wasn't being sarcastic at all :/ just wasn't aware. I don't think it's unnatural for long time users to feel a bit left out when they've been coming here so long and nobody has ever even mentioned it or any other groups to them... it's not malicious.
I was just saying you, Charlie and the person who was mean to me in my house all thought it was a bitching group, so I worried that more people thought that too.
It's fine to differ on the spam thing, but I just hope you'll take into account that not everyone who you think is in the group actually is!
I do take it into account yep!Its very rare I do anything about spam,I keep hoping itll calm down on its own.x
There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you.
But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.
I aint no abacus but you can count on me.

I'm actually quite offended that you find me trying to have a mature discussion about/with a group who knows they exist and are quite prominent is teenage bickering. I am not a teenager. I am not bitching, I am explaining how sometimes I find them intimidating, as by request from them and the OP of this thread. If no one talks about it, the gap between "us" and "them" will get bigger and bigger, and there will be a bigger fall out unless we have this discussion. I for one am glad that Jenna and Lana have taken the time to reply, have this conversation and explain their actions from their point of view, and I have learned a lot.

Probably why spend more time there,than here.
Again, I don't give a crap about who is friends with who. It happens, it's life. People make friends, people spend more time in the company of people that they prefer. This is not what I have a problem with. I have a problem, as I have explained about 3 pages ago, with the fact that they seem very banded together and larger than life, and very in your face.
There will always be bitching and drama here. People are unwell, people take things the wrong way because text has no tone, and some people just start **** for the sake of it. If you like your other forum so much, go stay there.
I want to fix this problem, or at least give a damn decent reason as to why it needs to be fixed, or at least understood. I like RYL, I don't want people to feel threatened and intimidated by accident.
Everyone in this thread has been polite, open minded and mature about this entire discussion, and it is now descending into pot shots and emotional drama, and this is not what we need from this thread.

I can't ignore a thread before you/others have posted on it, because I don't know you're going to do that. I don't like ignoring users because sometimes when it's not spam, you guys have interesting perspectives and ideas to add to the conversation.

Ok, i'm going to take that on bored and see how I can change the way I am and maybe cut down on the amount of spam I do. I can't promise anything but i'll try.
It's just the way I am, i've always been the "funny guy" (Even when i'm not funny but try to be haha) and never takes anything seriously but I do understand your view points and I take it on bored.
