Hi Jan13, Welcome to forum.
Seems a shame you have had a bad experience in the short time you have been here.
Most are good people and some are here in forum.Just ignore the players who play the silly mind games and surround yourself with the positive players who enjoy this game for what it is and enjoy building the community with us.
Take a closer look in the Contests section here.
Tift has a fun “Caption” contest going on and the vote is open on the 55 word Halloween stories and poems.
We need more people to vote, so please read and vote for your favourite. Oh and ask your friends to join Forum and vote too.
Hi Jan *hugs* Welcome to Forum… a SAFE place.
Not many trolls venture into this place. Kinda always been a sanctuary for me. When i read of “bad” experiences such as your own… i'm saddened and disappointed that our world is no better than any other occupied by humans. Regardless how many good peeps… there will always be damaged ones too. Too broken, hardened, bitter n spiteful… void of compassion or empathy to give… the only way they know of lifting themselves is at the expense of others, pulling them down into their own abyss.
Like V and others have recommended… best solution is Avoidance. Surround yourself with good peeps. YES, this takes time, takes chatting and getting to know others. Be weary of those that want to get too close n “personal” too quickly… other than for the FUN quickly.
Just apply the same common sense you would in IRL. It's really no different, we all come with baggage… some of it harder to leave behind than others. :Your post also reminds me how lucky n blessed my experience here has been since my first days. With a cast of special peeps taking me under their care, introducing me to others and mentoring me. You know, you don't have to be a “Mentor” to mentor, just care enough to try. I am thankful for each of them… those that are still close, those that have passed or left and those that have faded.
Words and actions are no different here than any other place… choose them carefully for yourself and use them wisely to judge the character n intentions of others. As for the “stalker” or “bully”, IGNORE THEM. Don't give them what they need. Your attention.
A personal tip…. stick to the shallow waters, don't get too deep here or share personal details too quickly. There are depths beyond compare and just like IRL… monsters lurking in the dark.
Hope i haven't scared ya away 😮 and hope you stick around long enough to bump into some of those “good” peeps. Your FUN will certainly improve when you do. Then your problem will be managing all your fun with limited time.
Thanks Jessi
