I agree with ms big, it shouldnt be FORCED on people who dont want it, so confining it to one area is a good idea.
Also I dont think we should be able to post under whatever we want, Only our forum names. ALSO I think only MEMBERS should be able to post, not guests etc.. AS we have alot of kicked off members who are lurkers AND trouble makers.

Chatboards like these carry those risks. I've been on a few, and it's sad to say that really, anyone can be anyone. I don't know what to say, but it's terrible that you had to go through that Captainperoxideluv.

I agree with Sasha that it should be put in the lounge area and not all over the form. The bad thing about this tag is that any guest that is not a member can type bad things and also pass themselves of as an existing member from the forum. Example: What happen to Sharon captainperoxideluv...that was not good

I'm not a quick-message person and the Tag board is annoying me already by constantly refreshing my page and clicking. It's distracting. I come here to chill out and ponder figures and customs, not to eaves-drop on other people chatting. It's frightened me off the board for today. I don't want to ruin anyone else's fun but is it possible to restrict it to just one thread, like the Lounge, rather than the whole forum? That way we don't have to be aware of it constantly on every page of the forum? i agree 100%, i dont like it at all, its really annoying. i say move it or get rid of it. i mean it can be fun but looks what happening lol wayne

Now we know that was just a mis-understanding. Someone came in and posted as, "Sharon," not knowing that CaptainPeroxideLuv's name was Sharon. As I understand it, Sharon didn't post as CPL or try to pass herself off as her, the whole thing was a misunderstanding. Actions do need to be taken however, such as Guests being identified as BTVSFIGS_Guest when they come into the board before changing their names.

The constant refreshing on every thread i'm trying to read is quite a pain in the ass! lol I dont think puttin it in "The Lounge" will be much better because that is a busy section and it would still annoy me! lol..how about putting it JUST on the homepage? like under the "members..guests..etc" like down the bottom and that way it is easy acces and not interferring with people reading posts.

I just think by continuing to post under a name which causes confusion this person is deliberately trying to cause trouble. And noticeably, did not apologize about the problem after they were made aware of it. Oh, sorry i didn't know just doesn't cut it with me. AND IT COULD HAPPEN TO ANY OF US. Thanks for the support from the forum members who know me (and even a few who don't). But, I do take it personally as I have a reputation here on the forum and take my integrity here seriously. It's not like they posted "oh I love everyone and everything", they posted kinky garbage. So, it was very upsetting to me. This has been my worst day ever here on the forum. THE REAL CAPTAINPEROXIDELUV

CPL, I definitely understand where you're coming from but you need to realize that Sharon was not trying to post as you. She didn't reference you once, and when you came into the Tag board we all knew the difference. You don't hold the patent on the name "Sharon." I didn't even know that's what your name was. I understand how you could be upset, but you did over-react.

No offense, Dave ... but when more "DAVES" start popping up posting vulgar garbage let me know how you feel.
Sadly, I hope this is brought to someone's attention and that the thing gets fixed.

If someone came in posting as "Dave," I'd just post as "Dave the Vampire Slayer" or "DaveTVS." If someone posted as those, then I'd understand being upset, but Sharon didn't post as "captainperoxideluv." She was just Sharon.

Yeah, i would assume that any members of the forum would post as their username to make it clear we are the actul member. "Sharon" could just be a buffy fan who doesn't want to become a member of this forum but posts in the tag. I wouldn't post as "Jamie" because very few people on the forum no that is my name. Even if every1 knew..to save confussion i would still post as "Afer"

In My Opinion the Tag your it stuff is a perfect example of something potentially fun, turning into the exact opposite. The tag system has only been active for a day and already we are getting bombarded with Drama and un necessary vulgar smut. Nice people are getting hurt, others offended and I find the constant page refreshing quite annoying. I hope the MODs can refine and work out the bugs in the system so that folks who like the tag board can enjoy it without all the unnecessary Drama. otherwise I think that it should be removed before anymore damage is done.

I like the Tag board and all, but I don't like this whole deal where people are posing as other people, I like to know who I'm talking to.
Plus, I agree that it should only be for members, we had people no-one knew posting all kinds of..sex-related stuff.

Yes, Please members only, I think we will be less likely to have probs with this if ONLY members can post.

Eck... If this is true, then I must agree to either get rid of it or just bring it to one thread... The whole point was to just say hi and light chatter, not long over do conversations... that is why MSN/AOL/YIM was born... People should be them selves, not acting as other people or characters... It just gets confusing and well... we may get it taken away. Also, Ms Big, when it refreshes, it dosn't refresh my whole page... I don't even notice it most of the time.. thats weird.

I love this Tagboard, and I think it's a great way to get to know each other better, but It definately needs to be exclusive to BTVSfigs members only. We have a bunch of 11 Year Olds starting on members for no apparent reason.
