It wasn't an LDS forum, but one related to some of my personal musical interests, as well as current events. Full of professional people, journalists, lawyers, engineers etcetera.

I left because it got abrasive to the point it was disturbing my inner peace. There was excessive moderation on what I thought were minor issues (such as starting a thread that had been discussed over over two years ago), as well as unbridled sarcasm by moderators, and nasty comments from older-time posters that I saw were alienating new people. And if anyone made a constructive critical comment about the musical groups to whom specific forums were dedicated, it led to public crucifixion.

Here, I've read through a ton of posts, and have noticed an absence of such behavior in general -- in fact, it's been very supportive even when there's been comments that aren't exactly along the "party line" when it comes to gospel culture. Not drastic deviances, but comments that show people are struggling with aspects of the gospel and have sincere questions.

Also, I've noticed a complete absence of anti-Mormon, antagonistic comments which seem to pop-up anywhere else in the world, whether physically or on-line, where LDS people come together to strenghten each other in their faith.

Can anyone comment on how this positive culture has been achieved? And has it always been this way?

I'm not sure which section of the forum to post this, so I considered this a HOW TO question, loosely. I'll be interested in the answers, because the feeling I have on this discussion forum is entirely different and positive than the other one I was on. ]]> mormonmusic http://www.lds.net/forums/how-do-i-questions-forum/27883-how-have-you-managed-keep-board-so-positive.html http://www.lds.net/forums/how-do-i-questions-forum/27555-private-message-issue.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:26:45 GMT I am trying to retrieve a message that I received from a member here. But when I click on message list or inbox in my control panel, it asks me to log in again. This is the same if I try to compose a message as well. Is there something I'm missing here or do I need a specified number of posts?

I have Vista and am cautious about upgrading until I've heard from people who have done so.

Even if you've upgraded from something other than Vista, I'd like to hear your opinion.

I'm getting E-mail notifications from the Questions only! thread. I've gone to the subscriptions page and set the notifications to "No E-mail notifications" but the status of that thread on my subscription list remains at "Instant." I tried deleting it but it absolutely will not go away. I was able to successfully disable E-mail notifications of other threads, but for some reason this one is being difficult. If there's an Admin who can get in there and fix it, please do! ]]> unixknight http://www.lds.net/forums/how-do-i-questions-forum/27084-cant-stop-e-mail-notifications.html http://www.lds.net/forums/how-do-i-questions-forum/27015-blogging.html Sun, 25 Oct 2009 19:59:35 GMT Why does my blog look the way it does?
