Drama Llama

Some communities sell various kind of services, such article writing services, graphic services, forum posting services. And sometimes some users create drama around these services, they will complain that the services were not good. Sometimes user go beyond and create a scene around the services they bought.

Do you see any kind of drama regarding the services you sell on your communities?

If you are active on social media, you can see drama frequently happening. Have you ever been dragged into social media drama, what was it about?

Well, I have been dragged into drama on social media platforms multiple times, this usually happens on Reddit.

If you are active in any platforms where you are allowed to share your opinion, willingly or unwillingly, you will be dragged into a drama. Do you remember when that happened to you for the first time, what was the topic about?

Well, I remember when I got into a drama for the first time. It was on a Hubpages community back in 2013 when I was sharing my opinion on Indus Valley Civilization.

Dramas are common in forums, what about blog? Have you seen any drama in blog post comments? Well, once a huge drama happened on the comment section of my blog post. I published a blog post about "women headscarf in various cultures." Without being judgemental I analyzed the historical and cultural perspective about headscarf. In about a week, there were over 1000 comments on the blog posts, commentators went into heated arguments over headscarf in various cultures.

Do NSFW forums have more drama than SFW ones?

I have seen many arguments within online forums when it comes to drama, some of which are valid and others that can be quite petty, and all too often, you wonder why it turned into an argument.

What is the pettiest argument you have seen online?

When it comes to drama within online forums, you can often tell which topics often end up being the common ones that turn into drama.

When it comes to your forums, what common topic tends to cause drama in your forums? Have you found a way to prevent that specific topic from becoming drama?

Over the years of running and being part of forums, I have seen some drama, but I can't say I have seen any that I would say is the absolute worst, at least not as of yet.

What is the worst drama you have seen on a forum? Has there been more than one instance of really bad drama you have seen?

What’s the best advice someone has ever given you?

Drama on forums has always been a thing, but over the last say 10 years or so, I would say it has gotten worse. I guess with so many having different opinions and many not liking when someone does not agree with their opinion, that does not help when it comes to drama.

Do you feel we will ever see a time when there is no drama on forums?

What is your preferred warning system for forum drama and are you strict or laid back in your approach?

I would usually send a friendly PM if the situation isn't too full on. Following that I would follow on with official warnings and bans.

If the situation is too out of hand I'll do an immediate 24 hour cool down ban on those that are involved.

From their personal perspective, people are never wrong. The fight isn't between the right and wrong, it is usually between two rights. When people get into something, it is because they think that's the right thing to do. However, from the third party view, one is always wrong and another is always right. Those who are indicted as wrong might leave the community. When that happens in your community, do you try to bring them back? How?

Sometimes forum dramas are fun, but sometimes they become toxic. When the drama goes out of hand, it will also harm the health of your community as no one likes to hand around toxic environment.

How often dramas become toxic in your communities? What do you usually do when the drama starts becoming toxic?

If you were staff on a forum and a friend was causing forum drama with other members how would you handle the situation? How would you handle the situation if it meant that you may lose that friend?

If you were to sell your forum how would you approach the situation of possibility losing members? Is there anything you would do first to try to de-escalate any issues like this?

Something I haven't listened to in a while, and tend to only listen to if I know there is an artist in the charts I would like to see where they place in the official charts, is listen to the weekly charts in my country.

Me and my daughter will be listening today as we are hoping that we can get BTS their first number 1 in the UK and have worked hard with ARMY to hopefully ensure it :)

Do you still listen to the music charts in your country?

What’s a personality trait you wish was socially acceptable to brag about?

What’s one everyday thing you think is overpriced?

What’s something you wish you had learned much earlier in life?

If you are like me, a huge music lover, there will always be that one song, or maybe a few songs, that you could listen to over and over and not get tired of those songs.

What song or songs could you listen to over and over at the moment?

For me, at the moment, I have two songs that I could listen to over and over and not get tired of, and they are

Something I enjoy doing, especially on the warmer spring days and also the warm summer evenings, is taking a stroll along the beach and just taking in the sea air.

Do you enjoy long walks on the beach during the warmer months? How often do you tend to take walks on the beach?

Something I always tend to do is focus on how much I tend to sleep, even to the point where I will track my sleep to see how I am sleeping and if there is anything I can do to better my sleep.

At the moment, I will admit, my sleep is not the greatest, and I do get a lot of broken sleep, but I also feel that it is due to the pain I suffer due to my fibromyalgia.

Do you feel you sleep enough?
