A victim of the Turkish Cypriot 'exchange' scam asks…

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Why has CF got rules which are broken like this.

Shame on ADMIN for allowing this. Oh, I forgot, its a Greek Cypriot forum. :roll: Silly me. :evil:


Are you saying you've only just noticed?

Strangley, I feel Cyprob and the rest of CF is better behaved than usual; there is the usual friendly banter - and a little unfriendly banter - but all in all, if you look back at recent threads, things are much improved.

Far be it for me to quote your rules to you, but here goes:
"Personal attacks are not allowed - Don't attack others. Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated. Challenge others' points of view and opinions, but do so respectfully and thoughtfully and without insult and personal attack."
I think the "unfriendly banter" you refer to, may stray into the above rule, on more than one occasion. Don't you?

Intrigues me why those who constantly fling insults at other posters seem to be obsessed with 'bums', 'stupidity', 'donkeys' and 'whores' (in various languages!)

Today I saw a post mentioning the 'bum hole' of the poster they were replying to - ewwww. Why bother? What's wrong with arsehole if that's what you mean? Better still - rectum! And why bother with the camouflage of asterisks when it is obvious to all what the word should be?

I agree the rules regarding personal insults are flouted daily. But then so is the rule regarding not posting in any language other than English unless you include a translation.

It's clear this site isn't moderated properly, even allowing for the job not being easy and time consuming. You can say what you like about 44 but the language and vitriol (buzz word) over there is stringently moderated.
