A note about the recent drama

[Elle 121,066]

Hi all,

I wanted to check in with you all about the recent rise in drama that the mod team and I have noticed over the past couple of weeks. It appears that drama on the site among members is at a peak, so I wanted to pop in and remind you all that LanaBoards won't tolerate certain types of behaviour.

It seems that the drama is especially high in other artists' threads and in world news threads, especially when it comes to hot-topic debates. While LanaBoards welcomes opinions and discussions of different viewpoints, it is important that these opinions are shared and discussed in a respectful manner. As stated in our rules, LanaBoards will not tolerate any posts that are meant to be purposely inflammatory (flaimbaiting to intentionally start an argument) rude, hateful, insulting, or otherwise crossing a line, and members violating this rule will be warned and given restrictions at our discretion. This is something the moderator team is going to be taking very seriously as it is our mission to have LanaBoards be a safe and welcoming space for all.

Something we've especially been noticing a rise in is personal attacks towards other members and people including other artists, which is something we won't tolerate. Let this serve as a reminder that behind the usernames and profile pictures, we are all real people with real feelings. There's no need to make things personal. Please be mindful and respectful of this when communicating with other members. Again, we do welcome varying opinions and healthy, constructive debates, but please keep these respectful. Think before you press reply.

Something else to keep in mind is that not all intense debates need to be made public, especially if they're veering off-topic of the thread. We encourage users to make use of our personal messaging system to have private discussions, but again, please keep these respectful.

We understand that news is slow at the moment on the Lana front so tensions are a little high, but please don't let this translate into disrespect towards others. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns - you all should feel comfortable to reach out to me or another staff member at any time about anything. We are here to help and keep this place safe and enjoyable at the end of the day.

I hope to see things become more peaceful. I'm sending you all lots of love and I hope you all enjoy your weekend x

Let's work it out on the remix~

Just a thing about recent drama (artist stuff, the trump stuff, election stuff, the dark city thread)

 

edit: also to treat people kindly

So basically we just need the Lasso lead single and pre order to save us

 

It has been so dry around here despite us getting a new song and video 16 days ago but that is what happens when Lana goes completely silent lmao…Lana Boards gets crazy and suddenly we are all political correspondents

I feel as though this whole thread is about me. I am saddened and sorry. I would like to formally apologize for my behavior in the Fenway show forum. It was out of character of me to speak in the way I spoke. However I did have a genuine bad feeling about the user I was addressing. I knew she was up to no good and being selfish and I did not feel like I could hold back my temper when it came to that topic. Do I feel a little bit bad about my warning that I would confiscate her boyfriend from her if she kept up her poor behavior? A little bit, yes. But sometimes in the heat of the moment we all speak with the true passion from within, and to limit myself from that, and put a filter over that foset of true pure and raw gold? I don't think I can take that back. But I will move forward leading with my heart and keeping my tongue sealed with the same molten gold that pours from it. That's all I can do in times like these.

Again, I am sorry and will do better. But I am sorry to the community, primarily. I am not quite sure how I feel about the user that I turned around. That is a question for another day.

Thank you.

there has been a noticeable shift in the amount of petty arguments and personal attacks on users, spam posts & trolling recently and it’s made the site unenjoyable for some and difficult to moderate at times. we just want a fun atmosphere with *sensible* disagreement if there is any

The way I have never read a single rule about this website, I’ve just been raw-dogging it this whole time and have manage to not get a warning point

i hope i dont come across disrespectful to anyone on topics i don't necessarily agree with. i'm never trying to hate anyone, discussing different opinions doesn't have to be a bad thing. I think it can be healthy and productive to respectfully disagree if you have good intentions and are considerate.

anyways love u lipsters peace and love

[PARADIXO 32,925]

Love you Elle
