May I have your attention please

[pumba]

Trip Reports board is just that.........A place to post your trips and tell us all about it and get us all in that DISNEY mood......I do not care as most of you too do not care to have someone making nasty remarks about people in general or their trips or calling them liars......If any more of that continues I will send your name to the webmasters and let them handle it. IF you want to contact the webmasters on your own .....please feel free to do so. I love this board ......and the other mods and myself love to read the reports as most of you do too......so PLEASE......keep it nice and peaceful here

Thanks for doing your job pumba! Keep up the good work, you always, always have nice comments for the trip boards. I don't get mean people!

i must have missed something and I'm glad I did!

 

[cepmom]

actually, my DD15 and I just caught the post in which I think Pumba is referring too...just crazy is all I can say. Thankfully it was quickly deleted. Thanks pumba!!

 

[daisylove]

Thanks Pumba. I was confused but then saw the notification of a new post in a subscribed thread (including the bad post) in my email. Wow thanks for moving so fast. That thread had 2 mean posters. I had never seen that degree of hatefulness on these boards. Everyone is usually so welcoming and nice. Thanks again.

I'm sorry to hear that you've had some meanies popping up here on the trip reports board . Of all places .

But I just have to say that I am indeed a true WDW addict . The title of this thread immediatly made me think it was about Spaceship Earth, where the female announcer used to suddenly (and startlingly) announce:

"May I have your attention please! Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, you are approaching the New Global Neighborhood. Now that you've seen the future, we invite you to experience it yourself. Soon your vehicle doors will open automatically, please gather your belongings and watch your step on the moving platform. Then, walk through the portal to AT&T's New Global Neighborhood and a whole new way to communicate. Come on, I'll meet you there!"

I love reading the trip reports board, and I turn to them more and more as my vacation dates get closer! I love reading the funny, honest reports and I think that if people start making these nasty comments, others arent going to feel comfortable in posting and sharing! That would be truly unfortunate...if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all!

 

[Bellefan66]

Glad I missed the post!I LOVE reading about everyones' experience. That is what pumps me up for our upcoming trip! Thanks Pumba for "sweeping the dirt out the door"!

 

[Bon Bon]

That's what I truly love about these boards. Nice people being supportive and sharing. No room for hatefulness. (Refer to my signature) Thanks Pumba.

Thanks Pumba. Let's keep the BOARDS clean, get rid of the dirt. These BOARDS are so great, let's keep it one big family.

 

[Taratink]

Thank you. I have replied to so many nasty posts and then deleted them. I think more people need to do that! It is good to ignore theses trouble makers. The true Dis people do not write hateful replies they are only here to help.

I was attacked on the CB and it was not pretty. I have been posting less and less and have found the Trip Report Board to be lovely. Happy to see someone on top of the mean people. It's really about Disney, it should stay as nice as Disney is.

I was attacked on the CB and it was not pretty. I have been posting less and less and have found the Trip Report Board to be lovely. Happy to see someone on top of the mean people. It's really about Disney, it should stay as nice as Disney is.

I, too, was attacked on the Community Board for just a question I asked.

I didn't say it should be this way or that, just asked a question of what others thought. I should have donned a flame retardent suit for some of the replies I got. People were personally attacking me as if I said I agreed with the question or I took a stance for/against the question or I declared that this is how life should be(!!!!!) but I didn't I just wanted to know what other people thought. I thought I would just get "Ya, I think blah, blah, blah." or "No, I don't think blah, blah, blah." I was just looking for a few FRIENDLY opinions from a wide variety of people . I never expected the blatant disregard of courtesy . I guess I was used to the friendly folks on the other boards that I frequent (especially this one) but the question wasn't "Disney" related so that's why I went to the CB. Boy, did I learn my lesson.

It's very sad that the vision of Walt Disney and the Most Magical Place on Earth (WDW) is lost on some meanies ! And worse than that is when we have to be the recipient's of their meanness!

I just think it is so sad when people now have to start their threads with, "Dumb question, Please be kind" as the title or even once in the post having to put things like:

I have belonged to this board for around three years, and I have tried to never post anything controversial. I have gone back and forth over whether to even start this post or not, but it's something I would like some really honest answers about.

and. . . Every fiber in my body is wanting to delete this thread, just b/c I don't want to get yelled at or preached to. But...I really would like to hear from people who have done this.

I know I've said it before but I just think it is truly SAD that we have to be afraid of being flamed. I know it hurts my feelings but unfortunately I don't know how we can escape it?

Well, thanks for listening. Sorry it was so long I just felt like I had to get that out there. I guess what we all need to remember the GOLDEN RULE ~Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.~ And also the #1 thing my mom always said, "If you can't say something nice, then DON'T say ANYTHING AT ALL."


Thanks again for listening. And may we all always be friends.

I am right there with you. Mine was a vent about a rude person and it got out of control. Granted the rude person was a credit collector so I should have expected his rudeness, but not here. I had so many positive reply's though that I decided to keep posting. I won't let a few bad apples take any Disney magic from me. I did however receive an annomous pm from someone with a link to some place called the Undisboard. You wouldn't believe the language and complely horriable things they were saying about me. There were many other threads like the one about me, but just about everyone else. It was unbelievable! My DH wanted me to stop coming to the boards because of how mean they were, but I told him that these people have been put on my ignore list so I never have to read another word they say. I just can't believe that people who are Disney addicts can also be the mean people in life I try to avoid. It will be a long time before I ever post another thread! Thank you for letting me know that I am not alone in the "been flammed" club.

I used to go to the CB first thing when I get on the boards now I seem to avoid that board altogether because of the negativity and I have noticed it more frequently in the other boards too. I thought at least the trip reports board would be immune from this. Guess I was wrong. Glad I didn't read this post. If ever there were boards that you wouldn't expect that kind of thing it would be here on the Disboards. Guess not everyone associates Disney w/ happiness and fun. As I always tell my kids "There should be no crying in Disney World."

 

[ericamanda01]

The cruise boards are pretty nice. I have never seen anything bad there. And so far the Trips board has been a dream compaired to CB. I only post on fluff over there now.
