bringing old girlspace back.

well i dont think its just about the spammers. a lot of it honestly is about respect. a lot of new users really seem to be the problem lately. they come on here and dont grasp that we have been here for a long time and we just do things a certain way. then they get attitudes and decide to start something. if youre a new user you should just come in and see how things work before you start running your mouth.

i was thinking about how we could help to get this board back to the way it use to be. or at least try to. i know the drama will never full stop, and the spammers will always come, and there will always be fakes. but i think the best thing to do is just let it go. even when its so user with the worst attitude ever and its blatantly trying to start something with someone, just over look it. by responding and starting a fight you are doing exactly what they want you to do. i know its hard, the urge to defend yourself or fight back it always strong. but hey its the internet so does it really matter what some random person is say. we just let ourselves sink to their level when we fight with them. and i know no one is perfect and sometimes we slip up and retaliate but as long as youre trying thats what matters.
