Thank you, Gamb for posting that. That needed to be done. *Exalts*
Even though I was not a part of this forum when CotL aired, since I first joined I have noticed that there is a little grudge between the ships. Now, I try to post at the Zutara room regularly, just to say hello or even discuss the next episode. I think it helps to let other ships know that, even though we don't support the same pairings, we still can be friends and polite to each other.

This is why one shouldn't devote too much emotional attachments to a certain ship. For all we know, NONE of these ships could EVER happen.

I'm glad this thread was made. I don't like it when shippers go nuts and are mean to each other. How can you enjoy your fandom when you're screaming your head off at some one?

Thank you for saying this Gamby. I know I was apart of the pushing before I just want to say sorry for contributing to that.

Thank you for pointing this problem out Staff members. I applaud you for taking affirmative action towards making this board a more friendly place. I'll contribute as much as I can to make life easier for you guys. Hopefully, people will start coming back and we can have some more friendly chats. Although I wish it would be immediate, I think that the process will be slow but effective.

I still don't understand what's up with shippers taking their pairing so seriously. I think a lot of this wouldn't have happened if people simply would LIGHTEN UP, realize it's a freakin' CARTOON, and it's NOT the end of the world if your ship DOESN'T HAPPEN. Geez.
(Well...none of my ships will ever happen because they're slash...and the sad thing is that the pairings I ship in even yaoi shows never happen. Pfft.)
Glad that action is being taken anyway...though again the best course of action is to just LIGHTEN UP. Find a hobby, like...popping bubble wrap? No really, it's fun. *pops*
Sorry if anyone is offended. Just my two cents.

Thanks for the guidelines and the new code of the thread, yes i know being banned would be cruel and Awap's words were harsh (almost like Ozai's pain and suffering will be your teacher thing), but there must be some disicpine everywhere and both Gamb and Awap. have proved it. Since they have been on a lot and seen the problems and both of them in the War Rooms, they have the most exp. and know how to stop flamers, I have seen Awap. stop s3ph, gamb fixing some stuff, including trashing some junk threads, etc. Thanks guys *exalts each gamb and awap.*

Congrats. I knew this day would come eventually.
I do not think that banning abusers is harsh in the least. There are rules to this forum and they are posted in every subsection. Sorry to say this, and really I suppose I can not without sounding stand-offish but, if someone is going to verbally attack or make suggestions that my words were out of context just because they disagree, then by all means, I am going to defend myself firstly.
I do not see it as fair to go running to every mod and admin on the board for any little hair that gets bent out of joint. Not only does it take away from the forum, but it takes away from the mods/admins enjoyment of posting too. Remember, they started off here just like all of us as chatters too. Most, not all admins have been logging in as invisible.. anyone ever stop to wonder why? Could be all the PM's they get over nonsense.
Gamibitia is right about all the tensity revolving around ships. We can agrue until we're blue in the face over it.. we're all wrong until a ship sails. Ships are specultaions of what couples we'd like to see appear.. they are not factual in any way until the writer's make it such. The arguing and cliques on this forum have even made me post less and walk away from threads I had been following. There is way too much 'bullying' in threads over who's ship is right and wrong.. I admit my guilt in some of it too.
As for the past arguments between ships and individuals, I agree- It's time to drop it all. That should mean if another event arises, there shouldn't be throwing in past fights.. or as I have witnessed, carrying a deep lingering hurt. This is cyberspace. If you are hurt by people's words easily and can't handle it- you really do not belong on the internet. Anything that happens here is not going to cause you physical or mental damages unless you let it. If you feel things are getting heated, simply walk away from the computer and come back later.
If I overstepped my boundaries mods or admins, please, feel free to say so. As for what I have just posted, from here on in, I plan to follow it as my own example.

Actually, girlunderglass, you've been one of the easier members to deal with.

Great post, Gambita. I too have noticed the CoTL aftermath, and I'm glad that finally, someone addresses the issue. However, I've also kind of noticed that there have been so many n00b posts on which ship is better... take a look at the Trash Bin for example of some such threads. It gets kind of irritating...

Yes, but that's expected and the staff handles them pretty well.
