Subject: Idea and a request. (I need everyone to read this!)

Everyone knows that trolls are a big pain in the you know what. Well, since we don't have any type of password thing on here either, the chances of trolls coming and posing as regular users are pretty high. Last night I was thinking, and this came to me. Why don't we all choose a saying, or a specific word or something, and if someone tries to pose as one of us, we can post a message with nothing but the "code word(s)" in it? If we can get like everyone's e-mail addresses, we can all just forward the "code" to everyone. That way, WE all know it, but any evil trolls won't! I thought that was a pretty good idea. 8^)

And now my request - On a few boards, the chemistry is really bad...and things tend to get blown out of proportion a lot of the time. On here, I have never really noticed that, but just incase that ever would, I think we should all make a promise to each other. We should all promise that if we read something that we disagree with (such as a rude comment or something. Not a post that's wrong about caring for a rabbit. You can reply to those!), instead of replying back with another rude comment, just totally ignore the post. Some of you do that already. Actually, I tihnk most of you do that already. But there are still some (very few!) people who will reply with a rude comeback. Sorry if this all sounds really....I dunno a word for it....really dumb, I guess. But IMHO, this board, and the people on it are like a family! It just seems like everyone's rooting for each other when certain problems arise. Everyone was so supportive of me while I was trying to talk my dad into letting me get a bunny. That was awsome! I just don't want anyone to ever ruin that, and turn this place into a board like the Bird Perch board on Acme! I hope nothing in this post was taken the wrong way, as nothing bad was ment by anything in here. Just something to consider! 8^)

Reply back to this post if you're interested in the "code" thingy, and depending on how many people think it's a good idea, we can start giving out e-mail addys! 8^)
