Ephona and Anurak,
I just wanted to offer my support to you both after an unpleasant experience.
Ephona l hope you not too upset, you are a valued member of this community.
Anurak you do a great job, l love reading your comments. Its a great forum with close friends who have a shared interest in the martial arts world. It is nice to know it is properly regulated.

Aaaw thank you so much! It really makes me smile to read such messages.
And I also want to thank Anurak for his help.

thank you for your support, wilko! i try my best to help provide a happy, friendly environment for the great members of this forum. i'm happy when you all are happy!

ephona, thanks for your understanding and i'm really sorry that such negative things were said to someone as nice as you.

Ephona, l am pleased l put a smile on your face. Smiles are good
Thank you Anurak for all your hard work.

its was really bad thats happen i didnt wanna that and i have make a effort to solve this probleme between ephona and darcy but im failed ....if you read this message darcy i ask you to apologize to ephona because i hear a bad things that you send to ephona in your private message ..... i didn't think that you say that because you were very polite with me
plz apoligize and we open all a new page we are here for support jaa if someone critic you ,just accept and answer him with your head not with your heart
you have to apologize darcy...

I'm just curious, how long is Darcy's temporary ban?

permanent.

Damm, I this confirm my thoughs.

This board is kinda scary. I'm almost afraid to post anymore. What if I'm not absolutely polite and sweet as sugar to someone - guess I would get banned.
Most MB want to welcome new members who have the same interests, from what I've seen on past posts on this board you have to be part of the original click to be accepted.
There are plenty of things I would like to talk to other Tony Jaa fans about, but besides being a very slow MB it's very uptight here!

Hello Critterdee,
This all happened a long time ago. If you pm someone a whole load of abuse over something as simple as a capitals lock then yes, Anurak will ban you. Respect is the key here as in every walk of life.
Yes we are a close group, we have been together a long time and know each other as well as you can on the internet! and we look out for each other, thats what friends do.
If you want to chat about Tony, open some threads and we will eagerly join in, thats why we're here. You can become a part of our community if you'd only give us a chance.

The person who was banned wasn't banned because they weren't being polite, they were banned for harassing another member of the forum. I hope you can see and understand that difference.

Yes, this is a slow moving board, that's why new members like yourself are valued. You only have 10 posts on this forum, so I'd give it a little more time until you feel like you are "part of the click." The posters on this forum are very kind and accepting, so I don't see why you would have any trouble fitting in. It's rare to find a community as genuinely nice and caring as this one, so I recommend hanging around for a bit longer before writing them off.

Cheers

well said, wilko and mstrike

hello all ,
critterdee there is no reason be scared to post here , we are here members in this great community for long time ..and every member know each other and thats we cant find it in other communities...every member here respect him self before respecting others, in person i have never harassing by someone and i feel this place as a general forum not only for tony jaa ....so i hope we get more members because we need that for make our community more strong ...

Every ones on this thread is very kindly and have a lovely heart, we can't hurt a soul.

Well this is good to hear.
I may not have posted a lot yet but I've tried to survey the history of the board, in order to get to know the members. I wouldn't expect to be part of an inner circle at this point. I don't like to join a board and try to 'take over', I'd rather feel free to say what I think or feel.
It seems there have been problems here in the past. From some of what I've read through, it's a little hard to tell the actual happenings - but there is a clear cut scolding pattern for the accused.
I will use caution when posting until I know my surroundings.
I admire Tony Jaa and truly hope his career soars.
Living in the US it's hard to find people in my home community who feel the same about many of my passions, that's why I enjoy the forum associations I've made on other boards for other actors or groups.
If I offend anyone I hope that there is not a public bashing, but rather a more civil private explanation. Not that I plan to 'misbehave' but I don't know the layout of this land. I like to have fun and I don't always say please and thank you, and I'm not a child.
I hope I will be able to fit into your forum and we will have many hours of joy.

Hi Critterdee,
l'm sure you will fit in just fine. lt seems to me your biggest concern is upsetting someone.
Dont worry we banter all the time, its when people get nasty we send out the heavy mob. This includes Tweety Pie, Donald Duck and Nathan Lane. lol
Not out Tony though he hasn't got time!

Thanks Wilko

hey critterdee, from what you've posted you seem pretty level-headed and respectful of others so maybe you're worrying too much about stuff. but that's totally cool. it's a lot better than coming in and trampling on the feelings of others (which is what others have done and has led to them being banned). generally speaking, as long as you're cool, we're cool. i don't have a problem with anyone until they start insulting or attacking others. in this particular case, one of the forum members wrote some incredibly hurtful things towards another member of the forum. this person had no right to say those things and i couldn't in good conscience let it slide. so unless you intend to insult or attack someone on the forum, you've got nothing to worry about.

basically: be kind, be respectful, and enjoy yourself !!

thanks anurak.
So far I have a pretty good reputation on the various boards I'm a member of- hope it stays that way.
