Good luck WayToRussia, you are going to be talking to yourself here very soon, because no one will be on. I am definately not gonna stay in the kind of shithole site that bans people arbitrarily, and stomps freedom of speech. If those three guys are gone, so am I. I'll come back, only when all those people you banned, for no reason, be allowed to come back too. For now, boycott. I hope other users join me in this. I am just standing up for the freedom of speech here. See you, bunch of assholes, never. I am outta here.

You know what? We were also considering you for a ban, but you made it easier.
And my last words to you will be: fuck off and have a nice journey.

Excuse me, but how old are you? |

Dear Danbrew
To set the record straight, I wish no fight. I' am not any of the banned ones either. I may post not so often because that was my choice. I joined this site to find information and tips about Russia before booking a trip with a trustable source (which i believe this site is) there this summer. You can learn alot by observation.
However, once again I have been deeply hurt by your written language, my disability should not be used as a weapon against me or for that matter anyone who has a disability. Are you an expert on my diasbility, since you detect variance in my writing style? Of course you are not otherwise you would not use it as a weapon against me. We are now going way of the purpose of this forumn aren't we?
We all stated our views, fair enough but if our views are objective we are insulted by some people who pick on disabled people. I have no need to visit such a place which allows the disabled to be insulted. I' am sorry that my disability causes variance for you to believe that English is not my first language, but this insults me.
Also and I' am not saying this to Danbrew but others the use of offence language (swear words) in this site. What would any new person think of reading the words Fu.. O.
Perhaps this is a good time for me to exist from this site to, I will post no more as it appears that I' am not welcome either, judging by some insults I recieve here by users.
With that said, I accept that perhaps no one intended to insult me after all they do not really know who I' am as Danbrew says. For the record I' am just a Scottish girl who wishes peace, happiness and success to all.
Farewell |

Too many take it off topic and have an insult fight. If you have a bad day, why don't you login and troll someone. I used to be bad myself, but I refrain to slag someone. It is not right. If I ever see the god of this site, Dmitri, I owe him a beverage and an apology.
It is hard to insulted and not say something back, but I refuse to insult someone who I never met.
I will try to help the visitors to Russia the best I can even though my experience has been less then excellent

Oh my God, I'm going to cry now...
Just because I only wish you good, I also banned you from this forum, just so that you don't feel too offended. |

| Much different from the days Winston Wu, Penderghast and Scarlette in which the forum was clogged with insults, racism, and plain carp. |

Holy cwap!  
Why can't people behave themselves when I'm on holidays?
Dmitry, I haven't told you before, but this site has been an amazing resource for my last 2 trips to Russia. Thanks, mate!!

Well... anyway this had to be done and thanks also for the good laugh. |

Actually, your post only confirms the problem: this FORUM became less popular NOT WAY TO RUSSIA itself (where people can find tons of useful information for free, which we gathered ourselves and still do). And it happened because there are too many people posting crap and non-relevant content. A newcomer comes to get some info and they're afraid to post because they're afraid to see some arrogant comments. Plus there's lots of non-relevant political clutter and word-wanking which nobody wants to read anyway. |
It is unfortunate that so many regulars had to be banned, but it really was getting out of control here and I agree that something had to be done.
I was really enthusiastic when I first found this site about 1 1/2 years ago.  However, I lost a lot of my interest in posting here about a year ago when I felt like the personal attacks and non-relevant posting was really getting way out of control. 
I also thought it was sad to see a number newcomers make a few interesting posts, but then disappear for good after receiving mostly negative or sarcastic replies to their posts.  On some of the message boards that I frequent a real effort is made to make newcomers feel welcome and to also encourage them to continue posting. 
I really hope that the quality of the posting will continue to improve here and that this forum will become even more popular in the future.

Thats for sure. This forum will be definitely good. Now several people who went out may find their way in. Lets make it done. each and everyone should generously contribute.
what ever be the action from admin, its final. Its to be thanked as the admin gave another chances for them in a month. Thats really a nice point of him.
Lets find our way back.. |
