I am very agressive against spammers, lol. You'll likely never see any here, that is by design. I feel equally as strong about everyone's privacy.i trust you're not selling us out.
Well I am glad I slid past the spam detectors (just!)I am very agressive against spammers, lol. You'll likely never see any here, that is by design. I feel equally as strong about everyone's privacy.
Anyways, @Kapmcrunk I like the idea but also also like the idea of a second folder, (less work).
That's one of the best things about this forum, most threads go off track/topic quite regularly and no one flames or gets their nose out of joint, it's just not that sort of place. Try doing that on most forums!Lol, I have noticed actually, without actually really thinking about it until now. You do keep the field very clean and threads on track, within reason.
For a while, this bugged me more than it should because I'm used to message boards where people get upset if the thread gets off-topic if the mods don't show up right away. But I eventually got the vibe that these forums reflect more of how people actually talk. People go on tangents and derail the conversation all the time, rarely on purpose. People just forget particular points they're making. I would go so far as to say that kava consumption augments human empathy. It's really an attitude thing, so I can't speak for all humans when they drink kava, but that empathy carries over to our fancy little internet conversations right here.That's one of the best things about this forum, most threads go off track/topic quite regularly and no one flames or gets their nose out of joint, it's just not that sort of place.

I think a big part of that is except during the great noble/tudei wars most of the time the tangents are light hearted, informative (if not kava related) and definitely not personal attacks or name calling. I admit I occasionally throw in a political joke here and there and I get gently reminded that this not the place - which I agree with! The pace of the forums has definitely slowed as well so it is probably easier to keep threads on track for mods.That's one of the best things about this forum, most threads go off track/topic quite regularly and no one flames or gets their nose out of joint, it's just not that sort of place.

The Tudei War of 2016 probably molded the current attitude on the forums... I think everyone, regardless of their stances, recognizes now that we need to relax and just appreciate each other. There were a couple guys I really disliked during that time period, but would have no problem calling them up now. I think it also helped that vendors stopped publicly airing each others dirty laundry and kept those conversations private. That was really bad.I think a big part of that is except during the great noble/tudei wars most of the time the tangents are light hearted, informative (if not kava related) and definitely not personal attacks or name calling.

I wanna say I first found this message board post-Tudei War, around 2017. My memory's hazy. I got into kava through KavaDotCom, didn't stick with developing a kava habit, found this place a year later and found many great kava vendors that have kept kava in my cabinet ever since. I wouldn't have been able to contribute to the Tudei War because I wouldn't have known the differences between noble and non-noble cultivars at the time.The Tudei War of 2016 probably molded the current attitude on the forums...

Gotta love the KavaForums.
I've got to agree with you there. I can also tell you my anxiety level is much lower these days, even with adding on moderating reddit and facebook. That time period afforded me the invaluable personal experience I still use today in approaching and dealing with interpersonal issues.The Tudei War of 2016 probably molded the current attitude on the forums...
