Menstrual Leave

by Fuzzy Zack Thu Mar 03, 2016 10:42 am

First topic message reminder :

U.K. COMPANY TO INTRODUCE MENSTRUAL LEAVE 'PERIOD POLICY'

Periods are still something of a taboo subject, especially in the workplace, but a community and arts center in Bristol is set to become the first company in the U.K. to introduce menstrual leave, allowing women time off work during their monthly cycle.

http://europe.newsweek.com/menstrual-leave-uk-company-introduce-period-policy-432588?rm=eu

Good idea?

What about leave for men and itchy bullocks?

I made the mistake of answering this thread before reading right through it, didn't realise it had turned into another name calling debacle ...sorry if my on topic posts have interrupted the flow....as you were. Rolling Eyes

Actually its good that you did, so continue to get back on track

Thanks

Sassy, stop doing those silly posts about ignoring Didge - it's not big and it's not clever. Either ignore him or don't ignore him, but don't claim you're ignoring him when you're clearly not.

by Syl Thu Mar 03, 2016 6:49 pm

I think I will un ignore him now....it's getting on my nerves only reading half a conversation. Razz

I've received multiple Pms tonight.

All of you stop being so bloody petty.

Is it a full moon or something?
Every thread I click on lately seems to be disintegrating into arguments. Shocked

The men must have worse periods than the women on here.

Just fed up with her Didge.

Ever since I came here she has been vile to me and now is trying to reverse the onus.

I am not standing for any more.

I just wish she would stop but IMO she thinks she is top dog here.

Just report her Stormee, admin will then take care of it, like they are supposed to do
They will soon start to act if many people are reporting daily, so this is the best way forward
Don't allow yourself to get dragged into it

by Syl Thu Mar 03, 2016 7:14 pm

Oh don't be such a tart.
You have been on ignore for a few days....surely that's all that's needed to sort out the problem. Rolling Eyes

Reporting people al the time is so petty imo.

If they don't stop being a pain though, what else is someone supposed to do? You can ignore them, but then if others join in, it never gets solved.

But often times it's six of one half a dozen of the other.

If others constantly join in it's tag teaming and should be sorted I agree.

The person reporting someone will be aware if they are contributing or not though. I reported someone who blatantly came into a thread and just disrupted it with abuse for no reason. There was no provocation of any kind.

The poster claims to have me on ignore and then spams

I state I am reporting, they then further spam

I try to get the debate back on track and they continue to do so the same thing

You may not have principles, but I do, if you allow that person to get away as she is continuing to get away braking the rules, then she will believe she is untouchable. If people start to act and report this, then admin will also have to act

So are you telling me you just buckle under?

I certainly do not and never have

by Raggamuffin Thu Mar 03, 2016 7:23 pm

Also, there is the chat box. I've mentioned that before. If people want to argue they could go in there.

We both cut our teeth on forums that tolerated even encouraged trolling though.....so imo this forum is pretty troll light in comparison.
I just think if trolls are ignored (speaking generally here) they usually sod off and bother someone who reacts.

Yes...I have never seen anyone in there, never been in myself either.
It would be good to conduct the rows in there and leave the debating threads in peace.

Things used to get reported on those forums too though. I think it depends on the thread. If it's going well and it's a good debate, you don't want some idiot coming in and trolling it.

However....you are not now, but if you continue with insults you will be again.

I got lots of reported posts from people with agendas though Rags....and I bet you did too when you modded.

by Raggamuffin Thu Mar 03, 2016 7:31 pm

This thing where people put someone on ignore and then keep announcing it every time that person posts is stupid though. I've seen it on another forum where whole threads just end up with posts saying that someone is on ignore.

Not agendas per se, just people who were fed up. Laughing

It can be quite time consuming because you have to look at the context.

You do as you please love, whether you do or not is irrelevant to me as I will always still comment as I always have. All of which has absolutely nothing to do with the points I raised in response to you

Can I just say that usually the best thing to do to someone who is bothering you is to NOT read their posts and NOT respond if you do.

People who troll cannot stand being ignored.

I got 10 a day from her who shall not be named (the one with a balcony) about he who shall not be named. Laughing

by Raggamuffin Thu Mar 03, 2016 7:38 pm

What I used to do a lot is if two people were going at each other was to just post and ask them if they were happy having an argument or if one of them wanted it to stop. They usually carried on. Laughing

She may have modded later after I left not sure, she certainly wasn't a mod when I was.

That can only be one person then. Razz

Yes, I do remember that. It turned out that she was complaining about something which didn't actually apply though because she wasn't who she said she was. Laughing

On the other place I modded, not that many people reported posts, and there were several mods anyway, so I usually missed the reports. Laughing

Locked threads didn't seem to help because then everyone turned on the mod who locked them. Razz

by Syl Thu Mar 03, 2016 7:47 pm

Yes....who would be a mod. Razz

You just cant win.....unless you are anonymous and never get involved with posting, but whats the fun in that?

by eddie Thu Mar 03, 2016 7:48 pm

People always turn on mods no matter what they do.
I've been a mod on a few sites - busy ones too - and it's always the same story.

Remember on FH when they had anonymous mods who were also normal posters, but they used a different account? Everyone had fun trying to guess who they were. What sometimes happened is that the mod forgot which account they were using and gave themselves away. Laughing

It was indeed, Eddie had her hands full, as did the other mods, Sphinx, Allakaka, Irn, drinky, Dragonfly, then later me.

Harotio stated >>> you keep banging on about the same old thing regard trolls #1 and #2. Nobody cares.
1.) I'm not sure those you keep accusing of trolling give a hooter's shit about you either. I'm beginning to believe you do have an agenda though.
2.)It's a perfectly reasonable request. Still no answer?
Just goes to show you don't ever really know who you're dealing with on forums, yes?
3.)I'm not demanding anything. I'm asking. Clearly, there's no answer to it. Which is understandable.
4.)And you don't think that is being even more inflammatory and provoking? I get that if someone gives you a hard time, you snap back or give as good as you get, but if one keeps it going on and on ad nauseam, expect to be challenged.
You're right I don't care.

I had replied >>> No, 'YOU' don't care; you cannot and do not speak for everyone!!!
Now that would be, well just highly unlikely and totally inflammatory too...and I never assumed to post in such wide range generalizations! LOL

Well, color me so shocked at how you've flip/flopped from "who gives a 'F*ck" to this thread where you firmly repeated the same feeling and yet you continue to DRONE on about it --- similar to almost being ANAL RETENTIVE/OCD

You do appear to have become enamored/fixated/entranced/attached to assuming that 'I' must post like you - reply like you - think &/or react like you; and now your 'I DON'T CARE' has become a trolling need to know

But my seems to think --- YOU LIE and now you won't get an answer...SOO SCREW YOU! You do make me LMAO though!

Flip flop, that term used by people on forums when they find others don't always take their view of things.

lol!

It is not good for a forum to have modz who are friendly with trolls, this is not an even playing field.
