I used to love coming to the disboards and just reading and helping people out. However, last night I got dissed for what one person put it "begging for a tag". I was just trying to have some fun.

I am so bummed out right now! Can't a girl have a little fun?

:hug: Yup, you can have some fun. I think that post was directed at everyone in general, not at you!! There have been several posts lately looking for tags. Don't be bummed...you wouldn't want a TF to put that on for you!! ;)
 
I'm sure you can find much more serious things in your life to get bummed out over.

Go have some fun :sunny:
 

Yourtravelpro - if you are referring to my Tag Fairy 101 post, please be assured that it was addressed to everyone - not just one person! If I wanted to get my point across to just one person I would do it one on one in PM :)

Lauri, I "think" it was this thread that yourtravelpro is talking about http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=500197 , not the Tag Fairy 101.

yourtravelpro, I wouldn't get bummed out about a reply on a discussion board. There are lots threads on DIS that are fun and friendly. I hope you feel better. :D
 
yourtravelpro , I just went over and read your previous post. While there are people who can be especially forceful in their tag wishes, I think your request was very nice. It was polite, not obnoxious. You should not have been spoken to like that. (IMHO) You won't get spoken to that way over here on the CB. We're all very friendly and patient with everybody. I love this board.

P.S. I hope you get a tag real soon!

::yes::

To Cinmell and Disneyobsessed..

Yep, that is the thread.

Thank you both for your support and kind words. I feel better already.

MeanLaureen.. No, I wasn't offended by your post. I knew it was in general to everyone. You were just offering information and I can appreciate that.

If you read the thread in question, I think you will see why I was offended. I think I will hide out on the community boards from now on and stay away from the Disney Cruise board.
 
Oh, yourtravelpro, I just read the thread and I'm sorry.

I also don't think you should have been spoken to like that.

Here's a :hug: from me to you.
 
To Dan Murphy and IloveDMB...

Thank you for the hugs!! You are sweet!! I am loving this board already!


:bounce: :Pinkbounc :teeth: ::yes::
 
Wow... I just read the thread you linked! I don't think that you were begging at all... Those replies were downright mean. I guess I was a properly brought up Southern girl. "If you can't say anything nice..."

Good luck with the tagging...I randomly got mine one day with no warning!
 
:wave: Hi yourtravelpro,
I read the other thread and I don't understand the hostility either. If people don't want to read tag fairy threads, why don't they just skip over them and not open them?

::yes:: I hope you get your tag someday soon.
 
I asked her nicely to not take offense. She posted this on the cruise board which had nothing to do with a cruise. A week earlier she posted on the cruise board a thread entitled "before I die" or something like that.. saying her one wish was to be given a tag. I find that begging and also offensive as there has been some very sad deaths on the cruise board. A few days before that she posted again emploring the tag fairies to bestow a tag upon her. There are plenty of threads for someone to request a tag.. to keep doing over and over on the cruise board is viewed as many as begging. It does not seem to have been too successful of a campaign I was just telling her to let it drop and maybe she would be surprised.
yourtravelpro if my words offened you I am sorry, I certainly would not want someone bummed out over my post..

First of all YTP the thread quoted your initial post, but was intended and addressed to everyone that goes onto the cruise board with these "Tag Begging" threads.
I have re-read my post and must disagree that it was mean or nasty or any other reference made about the timber of that post.
The Community Board is exactly the location for these posts and as such it was moved and that is wonderful.

The idea of a tag is exactly that, a fun novel thing. To have multiple threads about trying to get one on a Cruise Board isn't appropriate and I still feel is unbecoming.

Anyway YTP hopefully you're no longer "bummed" and you will get your elusive tag.

Cheers,
Grumbo

btw guess your thread had some benefits as the Tag Fairy seems to have agreed with my take and tagged me ;)

First of all, just because you say you asked me nicely not to be offended does not mean whatever you say will not be offensive. If I said I don't like you, but not to take offense does that mean you shouldn't take offense? That's not how it works.

Secondly, I am pretty new to these boards. I didn't know there was any etiquette about what boards you can post things to and what boards you can't. I found out about these tags and thought they were the coolest thing since sliced bread. I have read tag thread requests on the cruise board before. I have seen comments about how to get a tag. Without, knowing that what I was doing was wrong, I was posting and having fun.

So, my post was "My wish list before I die" - To be tagged by the tag fairy. It was edited by me, because someone made the comment that I should make it bigger and in color because that's what the tag fairy looks for. Someone else told me I should clap and add chocolate candy to the post. What do I know, like I said I am new to the boards. The fact that there had been some passings on the board should make no bearing in the matter. As a matter of fact, I made a very nice post to the very thread that you are talking about acknowledging the passing and offering my sincere condolences. If you look at my other posts, you can see I am a very helpful and knowlegable person when it comes to cruises. I try to help when I can.

It bothered me that you were telling me what I can and can not say on the board. I've seen posts from you that haven't been about cruises. You've been bummed out and your Disney friends were here to support you. I've seen the thread. I didn't even know about Tagliarchy until my last post when I was dissed. I still don't really know what Tagliarchy means. You could have been a lot nicer about the whole thing and sent me a PM and advised me about proper etiquette since you could see I am new.
That's not the choice you made.

It's okay, I'm over it now. It's no big deal, and, believe it or not nor is getting a tag.
 
YTP, Sorry you are going through this. The motto of this site, all the boards, is to PLAY NICE. There is no rule, reason, guideline that should prevent you from asking for a tag, on any board, IMHO. The Community board is just probably the best place to get one as it is one of the busiest. Some of us have tags we might wish we didn't have...:rolleyes:

As for other posters who feel they have to insult people then post again to point out the fine points of the post.....:duck:

It always rankles me when people post something less than kind and sign off with a cheery greeting. What is up with that?

:wave2:
 
Hi YTP :wave2:

One problem I've noticed on the DIS is that some people seem to forget that they were new once and didn't know all the rules and ettiquete (sp?). That's the beauty of post counts and having the date you joined listed. Poeple can look at those before they go off half cocked. Patience is a virtute that seems to be lacking more and more on the DIS these days.
 
HI YTP,I am sorry that you are being done this way.I had a similar instance over on the cruise board and it upset me.I just try to stay away from there unless i really need a question answered and then hope noone is mean and hateful.I am new to the cruise board and i dont think I like it at all over there.It seems that you have to be in a Special group or you are not really able to post and not have something said.
 
Welcome to the CB!!!! Glad you came by here and I hope you sit yourself right down and stay a while over here! We are a fun group of people here! Also, you better get your buns over to the TAGLIARCHY to hang out, also!

I am sorry you are bummed.<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4_2_5v.gif' border=0></a> I don't think you deserved the chastizing you got.<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_1_120.gif' border=0></a> I would feel sad also. I am a sensitive kinda gal who takes things too hard, sometimes. Just brush it all off, now, grab a cup of hot cocoa<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/12/12_13_9.gif' border=0></a> and just post away. Then, one morning when you get up and visit the CB. POOF!!! (Oops! I wrote Poop, first!!!), you will have a tag! Just start posting away, okay!
