    About QBN being a ''design community'' and about people posting ''design related'' stuff.

    That thing has been addressed in my mind a long time ago; I don't really care if people post design related stuff or not, QBN is a community of people involved in design in their lifes and they come here to have fun and communicate with other people from everywhere about any topics they want, it goes from a cat picture to sharing an important life event like having a baby or a dying parent.. and sometimes we talk about design; thats the core wire that relates us. What we do around it is what we are and want.

    A 'design only' forum would be very boring to me. I like QBN the way it is, I just hate the trolls.

    But trolls are part of the Internet, we can't get rid of people enjoying the fact they are anonymous and can fill the void in their life by making people reacting to their actions. Those people are often lonely and sad.

    • Trolls Posts = Reality I wish to not see as it doesnt fit my world view; things i wish not to fact checkyurimon

    • lol, @ mono. are you ever capable of seeing other perspectives besides politically correct narratives?yurimon
    • do you know how stupid you sound?monospaced
    • I like how the non adults have other points of view around here and those who feel facts are rapey or cant counter facts are the adults.yurimon
    • mono its pretty clear that you dont have a tolerance for things that might be true if it doesnt fit a narrative you already hold in your head. any presentationyurimon
    • of facts is trolling, or pick a word you use to justify ignorance or avoidance. you demonstrate this time n time again.yurimon
    • pushing an agenda relentlessly is trolling in my book, specially if you do it everywhere even being off-topic.ernexbcn
    • not really the same. I dont post the same pic or video. how do explain the donald trump hate thread or threads with specific topic. are they pushing and agenda?yurimon
    • only problem i have is mono displaying emotional fits and acting like its my fault for his emotional disturbance. If you can find a better way to communicate toyurimon
    • him on how to frame a proper argument or challenging ideas, facts in a civil matter, that would improve the flow of information or discussion.yurimon
    • I'm sensing some anger here.CyBrainX

    • Yurimon: Enough. Your schtick is getting really old. Move on.Moderator
    • Mono said three words, and here you are again going off on him for agreeing with someone. If your comments disappear, don't say you weren't warned.Moderator

    • It's good for getting points across.Continuity
    • I scrolled down past all the Yurimon diarrhea comments so I can just applaud Bennn: I echo everything you said!chukkaphob
    • And I'd like to add: QBN is an inspiration as well -- all and any content (minus the troll BS) can inspire us to become better creatives.chukkaphob
    • I almost wish yurimon pulls a drake and reveals himself to be a former QBN'r who's pulled a spectacular 3 year trolling session.
      Fucking yuri.

    • On the surface it might not seem like a "design" related forum, but in reality, it IS the best design/creatives/med... resource on the web...chukkaphob
    • ... because inspiration and motivation and support is just as important as learning a PS shortcut, a new Jquery plug-in, more about color theory, or a CSS trickchukkaphob

    • Without sounding like a twat, I see what Yuri is on about, but I find it more a clash of personalities rather than it being someones faultIanbolton
    • Why do I feel obliged to chip in here? I find Yuri quite patronising with the way he expresses his views, which gets on my nerves.Ianbolton
    • But usually just keep my gob shut. Where as Mono rightly speaks his mind.Ianbolton
    • It's an open forum, and I know Yuri seriously believes a lot of the stuff he says, so that's not specifically trolling. Is it?Ianbolton
    • I'm not attached to any specific view. as new information is discovered and as with reasoning things are proven wrong, i will change my mindyurimon
    • i think you are right with the personality aspect, i can see the direct approach a bit nerving. call me greg, yurimon is my username makes it more personalyurimon
