For the record i APOLOGISED to Kangal but YOU would make an issue of anything and everything as you normally do !.

That's because you mostly act like a imature child. You should seriously try and relax a bit more. Most of my posts towards you have been more about giving you advise on how to act to be more acceptable by those on this forum. But you see it as some huge conspiracy against you, and you blame me and others' for targetting you and, it would appear, "tag trolling". For the record, I've never tagged a thread, like I mentioned previously the tagging feature in this forum is pointless anyway and should just be ignored.

I believe it is never too late so may i make a suggestion and cool your attitude with me because i really do have a lot to contribute as a hardware engineer and you know something? it was thanks to you and the likes of ysss that i have never made any further contributions from my expertise since the usb port problem i half addressed.

People are leaving this forum because of the constant bullying they are getting and i fully understand why.

I fully agree with this thread 110% because if it is taken notice of then this forum will turn out to be what it should be, a proper family get together for like minded people.

before people like you start on me they need to go RIGHT BACK in my history to find out just why i have become somewhat obnoxious and angry of some members.

I of all have had my fair share of ABUSE thrown at me that quite frankly would be something taken to court if it were life on the street.

This community has rules and you need to ask yourself this.... WHO takes notice of them?.

Personally, I thought you were pushy and boastful since the first day you appeared here. And I think it's funny that you complain about bullies since you are quite a bully when you take on your dark persona.

If people are leaving this forum, I think it's most likely that they have moved on to other devices. I think that this site is much better behaved than it once was.

Wishful thinking Geneven but i have to disagree with you because now i know of 3 would be programmers that have left because of bully tactics and it comes from within the long standing members like yourself !.

You only need to look at the thanks to see who they all are and it becomes painfully obvious, look at tswindell's post and you will see for yourself..

I for one have thought this more than a few times, to hack this forum to find out just who does what around here because lets face it unless the truth becomes apparent they will carry on.

I give as much as i get and sometimes like on here i just sit and wait making it obvious i am going to reply.

What i often see on this forum is the bullies wait for the victim to get off the thread before leaving nasty comments.

Bullying is nasty no matter how you look at it and when rules fail it is maybe time for a new team of moderators to take over with bullying in mind and i personally think this is the case right now on this forum !.

Nothing like enough is being done to cambat bully tactics and as the suggestion was made to have a moderator purely for tags, i go along with that if it stops the abuse.

Now, Both my comment and my tag is removed from this thread. That is some serious moderation. Great work!

Or do we have several troll tag threads?

EDIT: Yes we do, post and tag was not removed, it was a simular thread

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...600#post980600

Merge?

I guess it would be possible to prevent tags in any thread by automatically adding the max number of blank or meaningless tags...

I've not been here long. I'm enjoying 'playing around' with my new kit, seeing what it/I can do. It's great fun being able to explore and personalise both of my 900's, and learning from the vast knowledge that is contained within this forum. But it's less fun coming here and seeing all this crappy sniping and *****ing.
I prefer to trawl than troll...

Tags are useful if you use them this way:

useful thread = few or no tags
Useless thread = lots of tags

Anyone with half a brain understood what Kangal was saying, except you. And you jumped on him straight away like an angry dwarf. You're at least 25.2% more offensive than anyone else on the forum and you never say anything interesting. You just argue with people. Get a grip!

Agreed. And I reckon that there are many dozens of people here that would agree.

You draw lots of hostile tags because of your behavior, so you probably have an exaggerated idea of how important they are. I don't recall ever having drawn a negative tag, though I'm quite sure I have deserved them.
