What happened to QL?
Is it now a Q&A only Website or is it only an advertisement site for spammers? I used to see some threads which goes over 5 to 6 pages and now a days there are not even a single thread which goes to the second page. Many of the active QLers are on read only mode and some of them even quit QL. The moderators moving are around with scissors and nothing is there to discuss in the forums. I feel pity to the site which had a great past.
This could be my perspective and all the existing QLers are welcome to comment.
Simple..the members expectations are not the same.
Hope the moderators will do their part- warn whenever necessary.
a 36 - 45 years old male who's life is on QL and his biggest contribution to the community is just plain stupidity and constant non-seriousness.
It says a lot about how much of a joke you are in real life man. Way to go, keep it up ..
ho ho ho highness is back
Jack, if you are serious I'll give you 500 QR.
So a solution?
How about every one of you dissatisfied people pitches in like a 250 riyals yo build a new forum worth joining.
-Those who pitch in will be all part owners.
-Those who pitch in are the ones to make the rules
-Extreme care is to be taken to ensure the new forum is scam-free with proper ways to authenticate Ads.
I am very serious.
I even have the resources to build this thing.
There are 2 kinds of people, those who talk and those who do. 250 riyal will not break anyone's back and this will probably spread like a cancer if you all contribute and spread the word!
what are your thoughts
i think that all spammers and trolls are in need of some "TLC" ;)
right now we r under spammer attack mode
You do not call it read mode..You call it an attack mode..Like a lion attacks its prey
cracy even i m in read mode everyday i read n then i comment i read i comment ..
i think you are even a bigger troll then me ;)
readmode,.in my opinion means reading more then replying to topics and that's what i do,.. read more and dont reply to all i read ;)
how does one type in readmode i wld never solve this mystery
i'm even being in readmode now for a few weeks,..
there not even threads out there that deserve trolling ;)
or a good and honest comment (like i will give if needed)
will see stay in read only mode a bit more
It's a violation of QLs rule 3 and rule 5 Theo. so I guess that means the mods have to take action.
No point having guidelines and to enforcing them I guess.
Thelo no comments on thesurpo posts n comments
Well said Theo.
And did you all forget the posts by Deadman, about the relationships? :)
I mean ya, its a mix blend, sometimes just stupid topics (Non-offensive in nature) just to lighten things up, don't harm site's reputation. I guess a gentle laughter here and there.
I have seen some very serious topic on the board and its good that people actually participate in them.
What disturbs me the most is that, religions, lifestyles and country of origin and personal stuff gets bashed by others. Its a free world out there, everybody is free to live their own life , and no one and i mean it no one is a super being. Everyone has a past and deserves respect.
Just wanted to say out loud, what i felt, although, Deadman is rarely found so serious on QL.
Cheers@!
OMG no way! MODS you are killing QL.
Mods have been snipping. Can't you just delete any offending posts and leave the useful stuff behind?
Didn't see it. Must have been while I was actually doing some work.
lol...sure...:) BTW I see u didn't comment on my face wash topic. Was it not good...:)
Toothpaste was a classic ;) Wait till you see my mouth wash topic ;)
TB...nope, mall topic is good and exciting as I said....no sarcasm there...:) Toothpaste topic wasn't...:)
Well said smoke I think I'll take your advice and stay in read mode from now on
One of the many reason i prefer to be on read mode...i find it pointless getting into arguments with morons who have a one track mind stuck on turning everything into religion and cant make a proper discussion without shamelessly making an arse of themselves.
I didn't say the post were pointless I'm just disapointed that most post turn into people bashing
Hummm... perhaps I should just give up posting if everyone thinks my topics are pointless. At least there are a few of us trying to create activity on here. Come on you moaners, post something more interesting instead. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
mimi only interested Incredible UAE n Saudi
Mall, fake internet GF (not read, just noted)....QL for sure is exciting today...ROFL...:)
I assumed it was about Cricket.
MM, you missed "Incredible India" topic ! :)
Today seems like a fairly exciting day on QL. Lots of interesting topics like:
Any newly completed buildings?
Rate your job from 1 to 10
blondes
and don't forget the ever exciting: driving license
If you can't tell I'm being sarcastic. There's nothing worth commenting on today.
I've been following QL forum for about a year now I felt the need to say that it has gone down hill in the last few months so many angry people on here with nothing good to say about anything I find it very sad and wonder what is so bad in their lives that they have a need to be rude to other people
when ou hit the top, there is no other way but to go down. And of course, once it recovered, the only way is UP!
Maturity does not mean you attack a religion or abuse a religion indirectly...show your maturity in good topics or show the positive side of your heart
QL has become a tug of war between atheists and the religious
Few users bring religion showing it in a positive way..and few who like hell show it in a negative way...This is all what happens daily in QL
THAT I agree with!
But apparently it IS for those limited in maturity and civility.
Nancye my dear QL is not for the faint hearted :)
I've been on this site a week, and I'm already tired of it.
is the increasing population affecting the pH of Ql?
I am fine alredoo..:) Welcome back!
I agree with cherukkan..seems like it's been ages I have seen a solid discussion extending 3 or 4 pages on a serious subject.
Some QLers are way too sensitive and others have a mean streak and will do anything and everything to rile others up.
Hello UK Eng...How r u :)
Yeah Yeah Rizks as long its not one of your nonsense thread that doesn't get deleted your OK with it :)
If You gonna give peanuts you gonna get monkey's.
Hail Ukeng !
Hail Moderators!
Hail Moderators!
Thank You :)
"I feel pity to the site which had a great past".. why pity on the site ?
as for me, i feel pity for the Moderators who are doing a great job by holding tat scissors in hands and chopping the unwanted, irrelevant things popping here and there on this site.Great job guyz !
welcome my friend on QL !
don't loose heart friends.
Kundi means Bum
arre baba then there was no facebook... now Facebook, google plus, instagram, tumbler, hashtag everywhere is social network...
People are busy elsewhere...
Also in the beginning there was no information on QL about Qatar... information got formed along with discussion... now if a person wants to find something... he searches QL... finds it on QL.... takes down the points... closes the page and moves on... life is easier...
So there is more information... less discussion... are you asking to turn the clock back?... it is possible... the site owner will have to delete all the info about Qatar... and then again the cycle will happen...
Circle of life....;-)
I agree with you cheruk,I used to post questions about how is it like living in qatar before coming to work here a couple of years back.people seems more welcoming back then,how time change.
...then again,a web site is just like a clean sheet of paper,the members determine what the shape and colors will be drawn..
Lot of people don't want to see the ugly side they just want to see the good & bad :(
The most unforgiving is the Moderators attitude now a days rather delete the wrong post & oops the offender they finding the easy way out by deleting the whole thread.
So foul play from both side of the fence I guess some would say they have no choice, but the truth is that we all have choice!
as someone who mostly watches from the sidelines, i'm of the humble opinion that a great concept like QL is well up to the task of surviving it's few negative influences. any new arrival in qatar makes QL one of their first stops in the quest to settle down. seasoned qatar residents know to use QL to get through their daily lives. I personally found the kind of rare car i wanted on QL, all my accommodations and many friends their jobs..not to mention wonderful and hilarious people like Fatima, Brit and others. So, as Brit put it so well, 'this too shall pass':-)
Every product has a life cycle: birth, success, and decline. QL probably has had its day.
what is a kundi?
marco is yr helper or servant leaving yr pending job
use english in yr job if yr working not to insult other religion country ppl
what is the use of english ?
indian disease
even though MODS are deleting surprised threads still ur shameless commenting on other ppls thread trying to create bashing Hope MODS shud permenently track these id's and block them
Not too bad.
Wish I could draw or paint. Would give me a break from QL.
Had Pasta for lunch. Listened to a Yanni track, but nearly threw up. Feeling better after switching to Abba.

We will keep this thread alive..
So, how are you today TB ?
Did you have a nice lunch ?

Well said. A small minority with personal agendas..
This too shall pass :O)
Dont lose heart....today unfortunately was dishoom dishoom day for Indians ...:)
ROFL brite
5/6 page threads were too long to read.
This is better. Discuss for a page and a half and then get deleted..
