Well, I just had to say something about this. It's really getting crazy in the Winnipeg review section. This post pretty much sums things up:

It's really up to the mods to straighten up this board. There's nothing like coming on here to check reviews and regularly scrolling through two pages of childish self-aggrandizing, bickering and insults to get to an relevant post.
.
I'm not using this as a shot at the mod's, just to illustrate a point that I tried making before. Now everyone is at each other's throats and it's generally just getting silly there. Some people don't post anymore because of everything that's been going on lately and that really shouldn't have to happen.

Also, I hope Coach doesn't mind me quoting him here:

Its a good thing we are in the Christams spirit and wishing well to others because I would hate to see how bad this could get if we weren't.
I don't know any of you so honestly I have no opinion on the content of what every one is saying and since I am not perfect (but it seems you guys are) I am in no position to agree or disagree with the contents of what is being said.
My only comment, since a few of you are so hung up on it is...since when does someones view point become less valuable than others based on the number of posts. There are a few here that post alot of crap and have high post counts while others post less but are way more informative.

Anyways...you can all go back to arguing with each other now, thanks for hearing my 2 cents.

Have a great Christmas.....and I hope to see you soon Willow..

Coach
I'm sure everyone can tell that I'm trying to validate my earlier opinions I aired. Maybe now some people will listen since others mentioned the same things. Now I sincerely wish everyone the best over the holidays and a safe and happy New Year.

I doubt it!

Hey BS, I still havn't seen any reviews from you lately?
All your doing is complaining about everybody else's complaining!

BBS, most of the recent crap was started by a few newbies (two in particular) whose initial series of posts were mainly attacks on established members. They have contributed nothing of value, and their motives are highly suspect. It's a classic example of why the long term members wait a while before fully accepting some of the newbies. We want to size them up, based on their posts. I know you have an issue with that, but that's just human nature.

This excerpt from one of Tom25's posts pretty well sums things up:

Anyway, best wishes to you too for a wonderful holiday season.

All I can say is that if you have a complaint or concern, send me a message with the link of the post in question and I will take a look. We try to keep perb a fun place to play and enjoy everybodies opinions as long as they are respectful. I don't support flaming of other members and if that is happening we will try to stop it.

Phoenix, I won't resort to name callilng, I kinda thought we were all adults here. As for the number of reviews I've posted, I suppose I could post many more, but since I don't live in Winnipeg and don't get there too often, they'd just be fake and I really don't want to get into doing that. It might impress some, but I prefer to stay honest. Besides, I'm sure if I did post a review, it would be met with much skepticism from a certain few, and I don't want to get into that either. It's been said by others: they won't post because they know they'll get jumped on for their reviews and I don't blame them. Sad that it's happening isn't it? And, my complaint was with the review section becoming an extension of the General Discussion and 411 sections. Do you dispute that happening? That's all it was, no personal attacks.

P.S. Call me a hypocrite, but this in no way has anything to do with Kerry and Mandy's contest. I have nothing but respect for them for wanting to help others, and feel that they are exceptional people that can post those details wherever they choose.

There has been no name calling in this thread. (hope it stays that way)

Why dodn't you try posting a review and see how others respond to it. Not all newbie posts/reviews are jumped on. You may or may not get "skepticism from a certain few" but does it really matter.

If you don't feel like posting a review, ease into the review section with a few "agree's or disagree's" comments on somebody else's posts that sounds like all your trying to be is helpful. That's how I did it. (hope you can understand what I just said because I don't)

As for Winnipeg becoming an extension of the GD area, I believe the MODS are allowing this to a certain point. I could be wrong but this was set up a couple months ago.

Have a Merry Christmas and safe Holiday!

BBS, a lot of us wanted to see each city have a "Reviews" section and a "General Discussion" section for non-review threads that pertained mainly to the city in question. For example, very few threads in this section pertain to Winnipeg; most are on Calgary or Edmonton. However, that idea was turned down, presumably for bandwidth reasons.

Implementing that change would have resolved most of your concerns. However, it's still not much of a problem, as long as posters refrain from personal attacks. If some threads get hijacked, so what? This is supposed to be a fun place too. Let's keep it that way. It's not that hard. You and I don't always agree, but we're mature and civil enough to refrain from namecalling and similar juvenile behaviour.

I know I had some hand in the BS that was going on in there(and I do appologize,don't drink and type!),but let me ask you this,what if you had received a PM similar to the one that I got from Quimby?That is just creepy and wierd to say the least!(I can almost see you)come on,no one needs to put up with that crap,I'm big enough to let this shot go,no one scares me at all,no matter what,but if that PM had been to a female it would have been considered stalking!P.S don't PM me with taunts,that's just juvenile,keep the threats in the open where we all can see,thanx!

Well Phoenix, I guess you must have made a typo and wasn't taking a shot with your "BS " opening. I must have just taken it the wrong way I guess.
As for the reviews, I think I explained why I haven't posted many and don't think I should have to explain it again. While we're on the subject of reviews, I did a search and it seems like you have 47 pages of them. Mind you I only looked through the first three pages and didn't see a single actual review of an SP. Yes I'm being sarcastic, and I'll apologize in advance for it. Sorry about that.

On another note, I'm glad to see lowdeville and Quimby seem to have hashed things over. Nobody needs the aggravation.
