From what I've seen on here, it definitely seems to be a nicer place. If there is anyone on here that I've upset in the past, I apologise now - on DS, attack is the best form of defence sometimes.

I just had a cheeky look at your last posts and saw the mob that was attacking you - really not surprised at all by some of the names on there. It’s far more friendly here.
Thank you for getting back to me - I'm actually Helenbemerry so I did wonder if it was me you were talking about. Thank you for saying what you did, sometimes you feel like you're going mad on there. I just get so frustrated when they're coming at you from all angles and end up getting tied up in in knots and losing track of who I'm actually responding to and I noticed the mods have deleted a lot of my posts.
I didn't like to say who I was on DS in case everyone hated me so would give me a wide berth on here
Well done for sticking up for yourself for so long without losing your temper against that lot. Some of them, and we know who they are are not a full shilling.Thank you for getting back to me - I'm actually Helenbemerry so I did wonder if it was me you were talking about.

I would have liked to but refrained as I didn't want to get bannedWell done for sticking up for yourself for so long without losing your temper against that lot. Some of them, and we know who they are are not a full shilling.
I would have liked to but refrained as I didn't want to get banned. Wish I had now as I didn't say or do anything worthy of a ban so at least telling them what I really thought would have been worth it.
I agree that there are definitely a few that aren't all there - the pleasant members seem to have friends, jobs and lives where the most vocal and nasty ones are on the forum all day every day so I think that is fairly telling.

He was a great as Bond, and I loved him in the Indiana Jones film, but he'd put a bit too much thought into his views on why it is OK to slap women for me to be sad about his death.
His views on Scottish Independence anything to do with your lack of 'sadness' at his passing there Sparkle?
The thing is, had he made racist or homophobic comments that would be totally unacceptable to posters on here, as it should be. However this is digital spy, where misogyny is apparently allowed, and indeed increasingly encouraged.
When did it become like this? I’ve been a member for about 15 years but I’ve never seen it like it is today. I’ve even seen on other forums that people have started talking about what a weird misogynistic site Digital spy has become, and peoples theories why...it’s horrible.
They can do what they want over there, just so long as they don't end up over here with their bitter vitriol and sad outlook on lifeI was just on DS and came across this comment, glad I'm not on DS now.
walterwhite is always so rude.I was just on DS and came across this comment, glad I'm not on DS now.
Must be one of those "Untouchables"walterwhite is always so rude.
That's very true - the person he was responding to is prone to tantrums and can be quite sarcastic and cutting too.walterwhite is always so rude.
NO!Anyone remember Fredster?
Sad to say she passed away on the 5th October, I'm embarrassed that I've only just found this out, she was a friend on FB.
All that was said that she died suddenly.

I scraped just over 7k on mine before a ban and that was over 12 years! At least I guess on a forum it’s an active conversation. I saw someone’s random Twitter feed, they had tens of thousands of posts but under 1 thousand followers. It was random tweets like “I hate walking to work omg” “it’s so sunny today, I’m melting” and it just left me thinking “Who are you talking to?” It’s no wonder people who are online so much don’t seem to be all there and not part of the “real world”On the end of every high posting username is usually a very sexually frustrated loser with no job
That's why they spend all their life on the internet and rack up 42,800 posts in 8 years. (That's 14-15 posts a day on that one site alone, every day - no holidays, no social life)
During my short tenure at DS, I struck up friendships with some real long-standing members who had clocked up well over 150,000 posts, but accrued only 300-400 "likes" in their 13+ years with the site. Most of them posting random stuff in the "Chatter" forum all day every day.On the end of every high posting username is usually a very sexually frustrated loser with no job

Yes, I've across at least 12 of those types of admin/global mod, on some of the sites I've been on over the years. It was quite an eye-opener back in the day, but now I just couldn't give two figs - life is short enough as it isApologies if I come across as a little hard on users with large post counts but I helped administer a (sports) forum for about ten years. You quickly get to know the poster types, a bit like this...
The 14 Types of People You See On Internet Forums
Internet forums are interesting places, both in a good and bad way. No doubt they are handy places to discuss mutual hobbies or interests with like-minded people – for me over the years it…stuartreviewsstuff.wordpress.com
Not here or DS, but one forum I used to post on occasionally had a whole coterie of posters with their noses so far up the site-owners behind it was ridiculous. Dare to mention any way in which the site was less than perfect (there were many) and the sycophants would pile onto the poster in question.Yes, I've across at least 12 of those types of admin/global mod, on some of the sites I've been on over the years.

As former member I still sometimes do a drive-by and lurk at some of those threads, especially in the Politics forum. And OMG its like a piranha feeding frenzy if you even dare post a comment that goes against the consensus!God I just popped over there for a nose, they are still desperately rimming Johnny Depp!
