One of my pet peeves, not just on this forum, but many others.

By the DMs and PMs I've received (from the perpetrator nogals, wink)for pointing out this exact action on another thread here. I thought I'd take the trouble find an easy clear definition.

This was by no means thoughoughly research, I'm merely quoting the first two basic definition I found on Google Search. LOL.

"When a person starts a posting on a message board, or forum, that others are able to comment on, that original posting and the comments on it are called a thread. A thread hijacking occurs when one or more individuals commenting on the original posting, go off topic, creating a separate conversation. This is rude, and bad internet etiquette. If people want to discuss a different topic, they should start their own thread."


"By definition, "hijacking" a thread on a discussion board involves spam, i.e. attempting to deflect the discussion toward something you are selling/promoting/paid to promote."


The latter normally applies here for obvious reasons.

Rant over...

Looks like ideal punting weather here in the Cape let me turn my attention to finding some fun today.

Thank you for clearing that up. Noted with respect.

Lovely weather in Cape town exept for the wind. Hope you find some fun and activities that does not involve wind xxxx

I totally agree
It happens so offen...and it's super annoying

I often have good laughs, mostly at the stupidity of how easy it is for some to derail a thread...and make it about them...and alot of times, I feel the need to put ppl in perspective....but but I do Kee my mouth shut from time to time...and just go like....eish wena?!?!?(In my head of cause)....
LOFL

Anyways... Have yourself a gorgeous day

Kisses

Thanks to TheMuff for posting this..

Yesterday in particular a certain SP derailed as many posts as possible even though she was called out on it in one of the posts she was still adamant that she didn't...she literally posted her special at every opportunity in almost every post which had nothing to do with the original topic.

I respect that people need to advertise and use the Advertiser Forum for that purpose but derailing every other post in the General Forum is just annoying and disrespectful.

The Forum and it's topics are a community that we all share and is meant to be enjoyed by all... but people being selfish and posting their own marketing strategy on every post not related to their service is unfair to the OP and the community.

If your services are related to the post/subject by all means respond but don't be a Doos...Be Lekka!!!

*Rant Over*

I have noticed this and it is the reason I no longer participate in discussions here.

If it's not the same old trolls with different accounts, it's posters hi jacking threads or starting mud slinging contests.

I have realised it's not a nice place to be anymore.

Have to agree with Jess, and BendeOver

This used to be a fun place.

I dont particularly post a lot here, but used to enjoy the intelligent banter, chucking in my 2c every now and then.

Sad part is the withdrawal of the ladies from the forum.

Only a handful of intelligent ones left here, the rest....

Attention seekers and trolls.

With that said. Who has watched the new grand tour episode with the three old guys

Good day firstly I know that this was totally intended and directed at me.

I have appoilgised as per above.

It was a competition that was intended to spoil the Cape town punters.

As there are so many advertiser specials being posted I did not want the Cape town guys to miss it.

As you can go see it was ONLY posted in anything relevant to Cape town

No lady's threads was hijacked or derailed.

The winner was announced and prize was awarded.

If anyone feels offended I once again appoligise but it has served its purpose as this is the first time I have had a break to reply today.

Thank you Cape town guys for supporting me and Chanel so much,reviews will probably be popping up soon as we are STILL running our awsum double special.

May you all have a blessed day.
