He is weaker to lust

As far as I know, cupids corner serves 2 purposes

1) A place to seek advice/help on love/relationship related problems
This aspect is quite possibly taken for granted, instead of seeking help many people come in here to rant. Which in itself isn't so bad, but once you combine it with the intelligence of /k/ you get mindless topics and mindless posts. Its entertaining for a while then it becomes tiresome.

2) A place for people to mingle
This used to be in kopitiam, but I'm sure many people have shifted over to CC due to the crapfest that is kopitiam.

I'm more partial to #3. If the community slowly stops allowing bullshit, it'll stop coming in. This reverse happened in RWI, where the standards dropped and relaxed enough for lesser minds to enter.

Ever moderated a forum before? Its not easy to be both friendly and authoritative at the same time, especially when the members are so immature.

Have the mods handled any case here immaturely? No? Then you have no case.

Most of the time mods actions are justified. As I said, you have to have some experience actually moderating a forum to understand why things are done sometimes. Only then you get a clear picture.


I've noticed

Wow, longest post by hobbes thus far I always like how you write when you get serious, as uneducated as you are


Granted that mr. poonani is rather crude, but I would say that in what he writes, there is a wealth of information in it. Should we ignore what he has to say, just because he is rude in his approach? Do you prefer weaker advice, as long as it is nice?

Yes, because I can look pass the crudeness and see his point. While others like you, focus on the crude part and miss his points entirely. This sort of reaction reveals things to me, and I'm assuming it reveals things to mr. poonani as well.

For me, its a common technique I use sometimes to see why a person is in a discussion. If I can be crude and the person can ignore it to discuss the points involved, then it is obvious the person is in the discussion for the points and not for some personal agenda. When a person gets defensive over the "insults" its obvious that the person isn't open to new ideas, but thinks about their own personal issues first and foremost.

Yeap, its a bane in our current society. Being nice is a preferable, but we also need to know how to mix and handle people who aren't nice to us. It is essential to our social lives. If we only stick around people who are nice, or make people conform to our conceptions of nice, we're not being social creatures, we're being anti-social.

Respect is not deserved, respect is earned.

That's bullshit. If as you say, the mind is trained, then why don't you train your mind like that? Why do you just give up? That, is a pathetic excuse.


I'm talking about his posts in the forums, not limited within this topic. Some of my posts are deemed to be rather rude as well, but a lot of the people here deserve it, and heck some even need it. Being nice simply plays into their comfort zone... it will not illicit change in it.


Do you really learn its ok to steal? No, you learn that your mom is a hypocrite. Perhaps you could say the same of mr. poonani, but that doesn't invalidate what he is saying. He doesn't have to be the one to actually lead the change, as long as he acts as the catalyst. He can be a hypocrite for all I care, but what he says makes sense. Those who can make changes will start to make changes.

I don't expect the trolls to change, you can't change people. What we can do, is make them feel unwelcome here, and they will go away by themselves.

u is unker, type too slow

The problem lies in the assumption that he wants to change those people. I don't believe I ever seen him say he wants to change people.

He wants to change CC, but that doesn't mean he wants to change the trolls in it. There are more than simply trolls in here, and this topic is meant to be a discussion. There are many ways which we may help clean up CC a bit, and here is where we discuss them. I don't see why people are attacking his character rather than trying to turn this into a fruitful discussion.

You should start charging for predictions

Lets see how this works out
