So I have a few questions really both based on the same sorta subject. Firstly I was looking to report a journal entry and couldnt find anything to do so, i was just wondering would this be a good idea in v4.
and secondly is there much point in reporting someone for flaming you or speaking nastily or whatever if they havent specifically said that it is you and there is probably no way to prove it either, I am talking about an old post here but it still annoys me as I know that it is there.
I guess you need to send a PM with a link to the post and explain why you believe it is about you. I guess it depends on why you believe it is about you, then again, without proof mods cannot do much other than log it in case of a further problem.
Either that, or you can post report a thread of that member's, with a link to the journal entry that you think is flaming - explaining why you're reporting it. Remember you can also email the mods - moderators@recoveryourlife.com (I think!).
If you report it and explain the situation, the mods will discuss it and take it from there. They can't guarantee one way or another, and it does completely come down to situation - I've known posts be edited for saying something completely harmless if you don't know the situation, and then threads not edited when it's looked pretty obvious (but it hasn't been edited because it isn't that situation).
Best you can do is report it, and the mods can take it from there :)
Its amazing how much flaming goes on here, for a support site and all..
You'd expect it to be..welcoming and people to be..well, supportive.
But atleast 50% arent. :/
Quite sad really.
It's a hard one. Flaming is obviously never nice or right or anything - and plz don't think that I'm trying to justify it, because I'm not - but this site has a real cross-section of people, with one thing linking them - that they have gone through, or are going through, some sort of emotional distress. If you got a cross-section of the population, you're naturally gonna find some people don't get on with others - that's part and parcel of population. This site is a hot-bed of emotion, being what it is, and it also opens people up, and deals with sensitive issues. All of that combined means that it's pretty natural that people will clash, and when they do, it be more dramatic or serious than if it were in a lot of other situations.

It goes on everywhere. You can't expect the human being to change, just because they join a support site. And after all, this is a site where a lot emotional unstable people are packed together. It would be unusual if no disagreements, flaming, arguements etc. went on and if all of the members acted or reacted rationally.
Den fuldkomne kærlighed,
Kan ikke eksistere blandt ufuldkomne
Whats flaming to one person is deadpan humour to another.
Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her;
If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry "Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!"

A lot of what people see as themselves being flamed stems from paranoia and the rants arent actually about them. This is why we had the thread a while ago saying people should be more specific who their rants were about.
Also, a lot of people here are vulnerable and alone.. peaople form what i think are unhealthy, clingy relationships where the only thing they really have in common is their misery, it doesnt take much for that kind of friendship to be rocked.
Thirdly, some people get their kicks by feeling superior over anons on the internet, (Grammar nazis and the like), or they just dont care because it is just the internet, and one randomers upset has no real bearing on their every day life.
Fourthly, people are sensitive.
Fifthly.. i dont think i have a fifthly, its just a nice word to say.

Everything about this is logical & right.
