Do you ever feel like you get rude/sarcastic comments?

[V2000]

Has this happened to anyone?

Be nice people. We come to dashboards because we are excited about our vacation. Sometimes we can be nervous about the crowds, weather, events, or whatever. We might need questions answered that a thousand other people have already asked.

I love coming to DIS because I love talking about my upcoming vacation and hearing about other people's experiences. Let's keep it friendly and not burst someone's Disney bubble with rude or sarcastic comments.

What do you think?

There is an option to report any posts you feel are rude or sarcastic, and the mods will then decide.

Shhhhhh! I just reported your post!

Disboards is actually one of the nicest, most polite forums I have been on. Some other forums though (non-Disney) sometimes make you lose faith in the human race.

For the most part yes, this is a friendly board. I have been around for a while. I don't like snarky comments and thank goodness they don't happen often.

Yes, I am new to posting here even though I've been lurking for a few years. One of the first times I posted, someone was sarcastic. I took offense, but the person did apologize. It is very hard to read someone's tone.

Ok, let's get back to planning our vacations!

People are pretty welcoming here. Just don't start a thread about selfie sticks, scooters, or how much you like the new FP+ system and you'll be ok.

This is:

I'm sitting here on the DIS in my livingroom at my dorm. One of my roommates was behind me and asked what forum I was on. She started asking me questions about it and we got into a 30 minute explanation from me about the "hot button" threads on DIS. Don't forget the Brazilian tour groups!! She enjoyed hearing about them and I have to say I loved telling her. lol Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.

When I see a response that seems rude, I read it with different intonations like in a theater or public speaking class. Then I choose the one that sounds the most friendly and assume that was the posters intent.

"If I lived back in the Wild West days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like "Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink."

When I am having a bad day, I like to read trip reports. They are almost always upbeat and will often have tons of pictures. And then I stay away from the hotbutton topics. (Uh. The hotbutton Disney topics, that is.)

I was attacked on the Disabilities board here, of all places. I will never go on that board again. It can be like a competition there, whose child or family member is the most in need of help or more disabled? I choose not to play that game. But it is the only board here where I have experienced that.

Life is too short, we all need each other's help and understanding and patience.

 

[baldy6060]

Yeah, it gets pretty rude on here sometimes. And it's crazy what sets some people off! The most safe topic turns into a Dis War! And a lot of times it's the "Dis veterans" that bully people! That's why I just recently started visiting again. I'm learning to try to ignore the idiocy of select members and only seek out the good. Still, it's like a car wreck: difficult to look away. But it's not good for the soul.

Wow. Just, wow.

 

[JacknSally]

Yes. I joined in 2007 and my post count is VERY low because I don't feel that the boards, especially TPAS, are very welcoming. It's very clique-y, in my opinion. I've recently started trying to post more, but I still spend 98% of my time just reading here and the Trip Reports without saying anything.

 

[Ambear]

There's definitely snark here, but it's incredibly tame compared to some forums I've been on. These boards seem to be pretty well moderated so stuff gets squashed pretty quickly.

 

[L&Lfan]

I have to confess I like some of the snark and I'm glad these boards aren't overmoderated. Some posts deserve a bit of sarcasm, imo.
