Plank

With all due respect,can I give some of you new folks some info. (welcome btw! ) C & M have been tenants on RLC since August 2015. In that time they have done just about everything there is to do on camera! There was a time when the majority of the Gallery was full of their activities, and new stuff almost every day,if not a few times per day! They have also had some volatile times in their relationship,but deep down they love each other. Sure things have not been great recently but can I point you in this direction? http://reallifecamfan.com/index.php?/topic/1962-poor-carla/

I don't know what you mean?

Agree! Get a bit space to recuperate. Over a week ago I said that something wasn't right.& it wasn't one of their usual fall-outs.

Maybe Change.org should be involved? Change your shirt,change your pants & change your habits & lifestyle you slob!

There is something going on,I'm not sure what & I would hate to speculate. But there is an strange tension between Carla & Mario. Not the volatile arguments we've seen before when Mario has screwed up. This is different ?

Well played sir !

Steady on now BobZ,someone might accuse you of using, 'intellectual bullshit'.

I hope I have posted this in the right section, I thought about it for a while and decided that here is probably the right place. Don’t know? Don’t care! I have sat on my hands for too long now & watched this fantastic forum slowly sliding into the Abyss. So here goes, time for an epic rant. Part1, Rules & Regulations. Recently there seems to have been a lot of confusion regarding the rules & regulations. Such as the rule about negative posts in the Fan Pages. As I have stated in the thread, â€Fan pages - what are they for??†. ‘It is a forum and therefore people will have a different viewpoints, some will be positive, some negative. ‘ ‘If we are expecting this forum to be all rainbows & unicorns and neutralized then it will become as dull as dishwater.’ It seems to me that the members are now confused as to what they are/are not allowed to post,other than the totally bleedin’ obvious. But what constitutes a negative comment? Maybe someone could explain it to the forum because it seems to me that even The Mods themselves seem to be lost as to what they should be allowing and what they should be deleting. Also whilst we are on the subject of deletion. Before Mods/Admin delete a post could you take a copy of it, so you can send it via PM to the member who is being censored, so they can understand how, where & why they went wrong so it doesn’t happen again? Part2, Going off topic in the Chatroom/Shoutbox. In a previous thread, in the Frustration/Anger board, “negativity-in-the-chat-boxâ€. I stated, ‘the Chatroom/Shoutbox used to be fun’. Then I threw my teddy out of the cot! (took my own advice and withdrew from the chatroom before I exploded into rage.) The room is supposed to be for RLC based chat, that is a given, it’s why we are here after all. But the conflicting message that ‘everyone should stay on-side’ and not wander off into personal areas seems to me, at odds with the friendly communal aspect of the Chat? Fair enough, if there is a lot going on in RLC-land then that is where the Chatroom should be focussed. I don’t have a problem with the room talking about a ‘hot topic’ e.g. SugarB on web-cam, it is great fun when the room is fired up. But what about when it is quiet in RLC-land? The great thing about the Chatroom is that sense of community, there are people who will help you if you need it. For instance, I’ve tried to help a member fix his guitar, I’ve seen others trying to help fix a members’ heating boiler. Many times I have advised newbies when others have ignored them. I’ve even taken that advice to PM so it doesn’t get in the way of the chatroom. So a brief, ‘hello mate did you fix your car?’ and a couple of follow up back & forth responses is a not allowed, but a banal, ’I want to f*** Nelly!’ is ok? Part3, Sure we all like to speculate about what has happened or might, it is part of the whole forum thing. Occasionally we can all be negative at times but usually it is good natured chat or banter or craic , the debate will go on, and sometimes we will have to agree to disagree, and there is no ‘hard feelings’. But yet again it seems that the Chatroom has been taken over, ‘occupied’ even, by members who want to preach and rant on about their particular favourite / most hated tenant or apartment. It doesn’t really matter that their conversation is based on pure speculation, and (* insert the deity of your choice) God help you if you should question their theory, or ask for evidence. There really is no point in trying to raise an alternative point of view, because if you dare, that’s when they get nasty & take it all too personally. They will respond with tales of their ‘research’, which of course is all true because they say so and is therefore FACT! It doesn’t really matter to them that their conversation has become tedious to the point of boring a glass eye to sleep! They are oblivious! Surely it cannot be right when the rest of the chatroom is being dictated to, staying silent, staying on the side-lines, logging-out, or worse, not coming into the chatroom at all because of a few ? I expect the response will be, “the mods can & should handle itâ€. This happens when the Mod’s aren’t around, they can’t be here 24/7. Usually the Chatroom can police itself, but members have been warned not to act like mods, but to report the problem instead. It’s like been back at nursery school,â€Awwww I’m going to tell on you!†There is a lot of this history that is being repeated, just different tenants. As they say in the House of Commons, Westminster, London. (ya’ know that place underneath ‘Big Ben’ that you’ve seen on t.v? The mother of all parliaments, or should that be motherf……I digress.) “I refer the right honourable gentleman/lady to the answer I gave some moments ago.†http://reallifecamfan.com/index.php?/topic/1738-bad-obsession/ These areas need to be looked at and the rules & regulations clarified for the good of the Mods, Members and the Forum as a whole. And while I am at it, can the ‘Read Me Board’ be solely for Advice, Information & Help, at the moment there are a few post’s in there that should be in General Discussion Board, or should it be in Frustrations…..or Negative……or Suggestions or………..?

Just lay your head back on the ground And let your hair fall all around me Offer up your best defense But this is the end This is the end of the innocence Don Henley 1989

That is my point exactly. What constitutes a negative comment? " I really like Carla, but I hate them shoes!" Are we all going to be censored or marginalised into the Negative &/or the Frustrations Board?

This notion/policy of the Post's in Fan pages only being positive in their tone, 'or they will be removed', in my opinion is unworkable & is also giving the Mods a shed load of work to do. It is a forum and therefore people will have a different viewpoints, some will be positive, some negative. I am not asking for a free-for all and agree that some comments should be removed, e.g. ' Elvis is a ****!' '. But if someone has an opinion on Elvis and wants to open up the subject for debate then surely that's a good thing? Maybe we need to look at changing the name of the 'Fan pages' to something else, as 'Fan' suggests 'supporter'? If we are expecting this forum to be all rainbows & unicorns and neutralised then it will become as dull as dishwater.

I remember when the Chatroom/Shoutbox, (whatever), used to be fun. And it wasn't that long ago. But until Admin/Mods question why so many great members have chosen to avoid it like the plague, it will never be the place it once was. And until it does return to the fun place it once was, I'm out ! PS. I posted this,notice the date, http://reallifecamfan.com/index.php?/topic/1711-feud-loathing-in-the-shoutbox/

I like classic Castrol engine oil . Messy but keeps all the parts working. (I avoid the magnetic stuff in case it screws up the laptop)

Re the above Kdr34 post. That doesn't look anything like Z & L !

Ah now you are talking!

Absolutely agree BobZ, this is why I was angry when K & K returned. I was not angry at K & K, as you know I have always liked them,but at the cynical tactics of rlc trying to lure their numerous fans to sign up for Premium membership.

Oh how I long for the days before they re arranged the furniture, when 80% of the Gallery was C&M......ho hum! However, earlier C&M were going out somewhere with a friend, and she looked like this. (Image Content No Longer Available)

In many countries there is anti-smoking legislation in place, also there might be something in the apartments Insurance cover that forbids it. There might also be a restriction as the apartments are being 'broadcast' therefore it might infringe those rules as well.?

It's a girl thing,shoes off,bra off,hair up,sweats on,done!

Not being picky.....honest,but if Blue can be confused with Blue,then Bonnie is going to be confused with Bonnie. Can't we just call her ,'The artiste formerly known as Blue' or 'Sugar' for short?

Really pleased this wasn't about blonde haired 'dudes' waxing their boards & being 'toad-ally rad'& 'gnarly' !

Everyone knows that I can waffle-on with the best of them,but at times like this I find I have run out of words. When I was a Newbie on this site,Blue was one of the first people to make me feel welcome & offer a hand of friendship. I can only return that warmth & generousity by offering my friendship now. Blue & Bonnie my sincere best wishes & thoughts are with you both.

I think you could of added another line to the Poll. Dog @ C&S begging for food.
